As with health-related fraud, the FTC combines its law enforcement efforts against all types of Internet fraud with consumer education and business outreach campaigns.

The FTC developed OnGuardOnline in conjunction with industry partners and other agencies, and since its launch in late 2005, the site has attracted more than 3.5 million visits. The FTC also disseminates a variety of business education materials, including materials to inform businesses about complying with the CAN-SPAM Act, 24 and publications providing advice on making clear disclosures in online ads. 25 IV.
