FTC sends checks to people who paid for computer repair services
The FTC is sending checks to people who paid for computer repair services from tech support companies Restoro and Reimage.
The FTC sued Restoro and Reimage, and the companies paid money to settle. According to the lawsuit, these companies used misleading online ads and fake Microsoft Windows pop-up screens to scare people into paying for computer repair services. They claimed to find viruses and other problems – even when that wasn’t true.
The FTC first sent PayPal payments in March 2025, which resulted in more than $13.1 million in refunds. Now, the FTC is sending checks to people who didn’t accept their PayPal payment.
If you get a check, please cash it within 90 days.
