FTC sends additional refunds to people charged by I Works
What the FTC says about this program
The FTC is sending payments to people who paid I Works for government-grant and money-making products.
The FTC sued I Works for false advertising and for billing customers without their consent. The company ran multiple online campaigns that falsely advertised that federal grants were generally available for personal use and that people could make a lot of money using I Works products. When people gave their credit or debit card numbers to pay a small shipping and handling fee, I Works charged them a one-time fee of up to $129.95, followed by monthly fees of up to $59.95, without their consent.
The FTC first sent payments in May 2020. The FTC recovered additional money from the defendants and sent a second round of payments in September 2022. These distributions resulted in more than $15.7 million in refunds. Because there is still money in the fund, the FTC is sending 44,286 payments totaling more than $976,000 to people who accepted their second payment and paid I Works more than $225.
