FTC Crackdown on "COVID-19 Stimulus" Advertising

Jeansonne to halt an alleged scheme to deceive consumers with mailers supposedly directing them how to obtain federal COVID-19 stimulus benefits, which instead lured them to a used car sale. 

The FTC claims that the mailers were labeled “IMPORTANT COVID-19 STIMULUS DOCUMENTS” and directed consumers to “relief headquarters” to “claim these stimulus incentives”.
