Businesses can sell using illegal methods {deceptive selling}|. Deceptive selling practices can violate law, and you can report them to Better Business Bureau, Chamber of Commerce, Federal Trade Commission, other state or federal agencies, news media, district attorney, or attorney general. When sellers violate state or federal rules, only state or federal agencies can prosecute.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) limits unfair competition methods and tries to stop unfair and deceptive practices, but only if they are ordinary business activities, not individual cases. FTC can issue an order {cease and desist order} to such companies. If companies persist, FTC can sue for each violation.
