FTC sends payments to people who were charged for free trial offers
The FTC is sending PayPal payments to eligible people who were charged for “free trial” offers for cosmetics and weight loss supplements and didn’t cash their check sent by the FTC.
According to the FTC, AH Media Group marketed “free trial” offers for products with claims that they promote younger-looking skin or weight loss, including products called Amabella Allure, Adelina, Parisian Glow, and Tone Fire Garcinia. The company told people they only had to pay a small shipping and handling fee to try the products, but two weeks later, AH Media charged them around $90 for the trial products. The company also enrolled customers in unwanted subscription plans with additional monthly charges.
The FTC sent payments in June 2022 and December 2024, which resulted in more than $5.1 million paid. Now, the FTC is sending PayPal payments to people who didn’t cash their check.
If you get a PayPal payment, please accept it within 30 days.
