The U.S. government has teamed up with 12 countries to launch econsumer.gov, a joint effort to gather and share cross-border e-commerce complaints.
The Federal Trade Commission, which spearheaded the efforts to develop this site, hopes it will greatly improve international law enforcement agencies’ ability to address cross-border Internet fraud and deception.
The project consists of a multilingual public Web site – http://www.econsumer.gov – and a government, password-protected Web site. The public site will provide general information about consumer protection in all countries belonging to consumer protection federation the International Marketing Supervision Network (IMSN).. All information will be available in English, Spanish, French and German.
IMSN member countries include Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and the U.K.
