FTC sends refunds to people who paid for business coaching
The FTC is mailing another round of checks to people who lost money to a business coaching scheme that used the names Coaching Department and Apply Knowledge, among others.
According to the FTC, the defendants conned millions of dollars from people by falsely telling them they could earn thousands of dollars a month by purchasing business coaching services and establishing an Internet business.
The FTC first sent checks in October 2019 and additional rounds of checks in June 2020, December 2021, and March 2023. These distributions resulted in more than $28.9 million in refunds. Because money still remains in the fund, the FTC is mailing an additional 7,943 checks totaling over $252,000 to people who cashed their previous check.
If you get a check, please cash it within 90 days.
