FTC refunds issued in June 2025: Who’s getting paid?

In June, the Federal Trade Commission sent the following refunds to consumers who qualified for benefits from settlements made with the agency to resolve various claims. 

Care.com refunds

The FTC sent more than $8.1 million to nearly 195,000 job seekers and job posters who paid the online gig platform Care.com. 

The funds were part of a settlement made to end claims Care.com misled job seekers about how many jobs they could find on their platform and how much they could earn. 

Nexway refunds

The FTC sent a second round of payments to consumers who lost money from a tech support scam involving “bogus” security warnings and pop-up messages. 

The refunds are the result of an FTC lawsuit against Nexway, the company that processed payments for the scammers — who used the business names Tech Live Connect, Saburi TLC and Sensei Ventures. 

The FTC previously sent more than $477,000 in refunds and is now sending more than 4,300 payments totaling more than $110,000 to consumers who accepted the first payment and who paid Nexway more than $207. 

Rando refunds

The FTC sent more than $3.5 million to more than 9,200 consumers who paid for credit repair services from Michael and Valerie Rando. 

The refunds are part of a settlement made to end allegations Michael and Valerie Rando falsely claimed their credit repair businesses — including The Credit Game and Credit University, among others — could boost credit scores with “credit piggybacking” and other credit repair services. 

John Beck Amazing Profits refunds

The FTC sent more than $2 million to 39,500 consumers who paid for “bogus” get-rich-quick kits and coaching programs sold by John Beck Amazing Profits. 

The refunds are the result of an FTC lawsuit against John Beck Amazing Profits and its associates, who a federal court found used “bogus” claims to sell personal coaching systems, namely that consumers who bought them would “make a lot of money.” 

Consumer Defense refunds

The FTC sent more than 4,400 payments totaling more than $331,000 to consumers who paid fees to Consumer Defense as part of a deceptive mortgage loan relief scam, and who accepted a previous payment. 

The refunds are the result of an FTC lawsuit against Consumer Defense brought over claims it falsely promised to help struggling homeowners. 

The FTC previously sent more than $897,000 in refunds in January 2024. 

Avast settlement

The FTC said in June that it is reviewing claims made for a settlement involving cybersecurity company Avast. 

Avast agreed to settle the FTC’s claims that it collected and sold the information of its users to third parties without consent.

The deadline to file a claim was June 5, 2025. 

Fortnite settlement

Epic Games agreed last month to pay to end the FTC’s claims that it unlawfully charged Fortnite players for unwanted in-game purchases. 

The settlement will be the second round of payments, with the current claims process limited to Fortnite players in the United States. 

The deadline to file a claim for the Fortnite class action settlement is July 9, 2025. 

Separately, minors and those under the age of 30 may qualify to seek compensation for video game addiction treatment through a lawsuit of their own.
