FTC Offers Consumer Protection Tips for Father's Day

Want to let Dad know you really care this Father’s Day? Why not show him what a smart, responsible adult you’ve become.

Start by sharing the financial savvy you picked up at ftc.gov/moneyMatters, where you learned to protect yourself from different financial scams.

Then show him you know all about getting your free credit report from all three credit bureaus at annualcreditreport.com every year. And while you may not always have kept your room clean, don’t forget to mention that after visiting OnGuardOnline.gov, you’ve learned to keep your computer virus- and spyware-free.

Even better, let Dad know you’ve really been listening all these years. To help, the Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, has compiled some of Dad’s favorite bits of wisdom and posted them at ftc.gov/dad.
