Oct 22, 2026Agency press releaseFTC (consumer protection) press release, 2026-10-22T12:00:00+00:00: "FTC Sues Perpetrators of Government Impersonation Scheme Over Deceptive Ads, Misleading Promises and Fake Reviews". Summary: The Federal Trade Commission is taking action against GovAssist LLC, Entry LLC and Scott Zuckerman, for their alleged involvement in a government impersonation scheme that deceived consumers seeking passport services by purporting to be the federal government or affiliated with the federal government. The FTC alleges the operation uses deceptive paid search ads to impersonate the government or pretend to be affiliated with the government to lure travelers seeking passport services to defendants’ websites and makes false service promises to obtain consumers’ financial and personal information. “Using paid Google search ads and landing pages to impersonate the government and target American travelers is illegal,” said Christopher Mufarrige, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “Today’s action should serve as a stark warning that the FTC will pursue all bad actors participating in search advertising schemes that mislead consumers, distort competition, or otherwise violate the FTC Act.”Since at least October 2023, GovAssist, Entry and Zuckerman have allegedly hosted a series of websites including GovAssist.com, Entry.com and IVS.us to offer passports and passport-related services, as well as other travel-related services such as visa applications and visa renewals, while pretending to be affiliated with the U.S. State Department. The complaint alleges the defendants violate the law by:Illegally impersonating the government. The defendants use paid Google search ad source
