to mom with love from ftc.gov

Filed under: pre-06-2006 — David Giacalone @ 2:42 pm

You can team up with the FTC to help the mothers in your life become

safer consumers. This Federal Trade Commission press release (May 2,

2005) says it all:

 


She’s Already a Great Mom – Now Help Her Be a

Confident Consumer

 

This year, instead of giving your mother something she doesn’t need

for Mother’s Day, you can give her something she can really use. A

new Mother’s Day e-card that’s sent with love from you and FTC.gov

will let moms know how to keep their personal information secure.

The musical e-cards, available in English and Spanish at www.ftc.gov/mom

and www.ftc.gov/madre, thank moms for all they’ve done to keep us

safe and secure and remind them to:



  • Safeguard their Social Security number;
  • Read their bills and bank statements;
  • Exercise doubt and check out offers that come via phone or e-mail;
  • Report fraud to the FTC.

mother dog
testing the depth…
snow-melt river

 







my dead mother–
every time I see the ocean
every time…

 

 


 

 



holding it over
his mother…
the parasol

 

 





the sold pony
looks back at mother…
autumn rain
