Pass it On campaign takes aim at scammers

Just in time for the holidays, the Federal Trade Commission has launched their Pass it On campaign. This campaign aims to give families new ways to talk about scams and how to avoid them.

The campaign is based off the idea that sharing what you know can help someone else. Pass it On is a collection of articles, presentations, videos and activities all designed to get you talking about scams.
