I doubt they'd phish the FTC ... I would hope the FTC folks are smarter than that LOL!

But a more likely scenerio is using ftc.net in some manner to phish unsuspecting surfers who may believe ftc.net is truly the FTC website.

Most likely the ftc.net whois change / redirection is simply a ruse to confuse people as to who truly owns the domain, but the phish angle, while a longshot, is a possibility and is why I mentioned it.
