Consumer Fraud in the United States: The Second FTC (Federal Trade Commission) Survey

摘要

In 2003, the Federal Trade Commission commissioned a study of consumer experiences involving fraud. The results of that survey are discussed in Consumer Fraud in the United States: An FTC Survey, which was published in August 2004. This report discusses the results of a second survey of consumer fraud conducted between November 16 and December 20, 2005. The survey was conducted by Synovate, a survey research firm, and involved interviews by telephone with 3,888 adults. Interviews were conducted in both English and Spanish and oversampling was done to increase the number of interviews with members of several minority groups Hispanics, African Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, and Asians.
