Scammers are pretending to be the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC says small businesses have been getting emails with a subject line reading "Notification of consumer complaint."

The fake email claims a complaint has been filed against the company.  The FTC says anyone who gets this email shouldn't click on any of the links or attachments with the email.  Clicking on the links may install a virus or other spyware on your computer.
