Money-making opportunities

The complete list of 1,131 companies the Federal Trade Commission sent its Notice of Penalty Offenses on this conduct.

The fact that a company is on this list is NOT an indication that it has done anything wrong. A Notice of Penalty Offenses is not a complaint, a finding, a settlement, or an allegation against the recipient. The Commission sent these notices broadly across whole industries so that civil penalties would become available in future against any company that went on to break the law.

What this notice covers

In the Commission’s own terms. Misrepresenting the earnings a participant can expect, and failing to have evidence for claims about income, profits or business performance.
