With few exceptions, FTC investigations are not public. If you provide information or make a complaint, it will be kept confidential. Similarly, if you contact us about an investigation, you may be told that we cannot discuss it, or even confirm or deny its existence. Still, we can receive your information and make sure it gets to appropriate FTC staff. In some cases, a staff person may wish to use the information in court if the case is litigated.
