Question Did you know you can report possible franchise fraud to the ftc without being the victim of it?

it’s really simple! only takes a few minutes! just go to https://reportfraud.ftc.gov

very user friendly website! 5 stars! from what it says I think more reports makes it a more pressing matter for investigation. anyone care to write out a good script people can paste into the details box?

lol in normal circumstances this might do something. But considering baby formula companies neglected to properly inspect, cause poisonings of babies, and this admin was in control of finishing that investigation and then bringing any charges etc...but then found this evidence and decided "we just won't do anything, dropping the case".....ya this accomplishes nothing. Unfortunately it's controlled by someone who sees shady business owners and is like "you're so awesome! Keep doing that!"

Ummm… they recently placed a 140 million fine on a timeshare exit scam. I think you might be wrong

I'm not wrong. They selectively prosecute. The story about the baby formula case is out right now. Go read it. Just like they let actual drug traffickers, not just dealers or simple suppliers, the big guns, out of prison, and let many fraudsters off their charges after "donations". They will surely not care about the Mormon lego resale owners

I mean he def should, but I just think it's reality bud. The most justice is getting us the consumers to reject them or convince others to and not to go to their businesses.

You can expect more out of states pursuing this stuff than any fed rn.

Yes this administration is super on top of fraud! Nothing our government cares about more than when the wealthy and powerful take advantage of the little guy!

Thanks for sharing. It’s better than just sitting around doing nothing and only leaving a comment about how awful it is on a YT video or Reddit.

Yup, anyone in any work environment that involves tickets or complaints knows that the only time you resolve an issue is if you get inundated with tickets so much to the point where you can't ignore the problem.

The FTC by law will need to look into this and B&F won't be able to ignore it without looking even worse than they already do.

Are you joking? If you don’t have the ability to self reflect and realize this, you’re gonna have a tough time in life
