Consumers who submit a claim form could benefit from a $102 million judgment against On Point Global LLC in a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) lawsuit over the company’s fraudulent website schemes.

Consumers are eligible for this judgment if they purchased a guide from On Point Global in 2017, 2018 or 2019 and were not satisfied with their purchase or if they provided their personal information to On Point Global in 2019 and were not satisfied with their experience.

On Point Global publishes online editorial and digital guides on a number of subjects, including automotives, finance, legal services, homes, community issues, marketplaces, recreation and travel. The company then “captures” consumer data and uses that information to identify customer behaviors.

However, On Point Global allegedly misled customers into handing over their personal data.

The FTC filed a lawsuit against On Point Global in December 2019, claiming the company promised customers a quick and easy way to complete government services such as renewing driver’s licenses or checking eligibility for government programs. The branding and language of these websites allegedly mimicked government sites which convinced consumers to hand over sensitive information such as credit card data, personal identifying information, and more. 

After handing over this sensitive data, consumers started to receive harassing marketing emails and text messages from third parties, the FTC maintains. According to the federal regulator, these messages started when On Point Global made millions by selling sensitive consumer data to third parties.

The FTC requested a preliminary injunction against the company to shut down its allegedly fraudulent websites. The court agreed in February 2020, finding the FTC would likely prevail in trial by successfully proving that “the websites were patently misleading.” This came to pass in November 2021 when the court ruled against On Point Global and ordered the company to pay $102 million to affected consumers.

Under the terms of the judgment, affected consumers can receive a cash payment. 

Payment amounts will vary depending on the number of claims filed and how much personal information each consumer provided to On Point Global. Consumers who provided more information could receive larger payments than those who only shared a small amount of information. 

Consumers who already received a refund from the company may receive smaller payments from this judgment. According to the judgment website, payments will not be more than $15.

In order to receive benefits from the On Point Global FTC lawsuit judgment, class members must submit a valid claim form. 

The deadline to submit an On Point claim form is Aug. 31, 2022.

Who’s Eligible

Consumers are eligible for this judgment if they purchased a guide from On Point Global in 2017, 2018 or 2019 and you were not satisfied with their purchase or if they provided their personal information to On Point Global in 2019 and were not satisfied with their experience.

  6. Naisima says:

    To be good to be truth about all this waiting , and now they closed the claims , I got received and email, saying that Your claim has been disallowed. If you believe this is a mistake please use the Start Claim Reconsideration button below to submit additional or updated information for reconsideration. ok I did press the Request Reconsideration and it says that: The Receiver determined that you are not eligible for a payment because your personal information does not match any of the customer records provided by On Point Global. If you may have used a different name or address when interacting with On Point Global, please update the information below. Additionally, you may upload any evidence that shows that you used a government services website operated by On Point Global. &,
    Proof Of Claim Form
    (* indicates required field)

    Claimant Information

    Complete any fields with information that you may have previously provided to On Point Global. Information provided will be used to compare to On Point Global records and verify that you are an Eligible Claimant. Wow!!, it’s Sounds Crazy , unbelievable how they Systems works and if your names didn’t match to the On Point Global records, and to verify that you are an Eligible Claimant. First place, how come they sent me post card on the mail and they sent me an email. That say Federal Trade Commission V. On Point Global:
    Court records show that you entered personal information online to check eligibility for government assistance programs like Section 8 housing assistance or food stamps. The website you visited wasn’t a government Site and didn’t deliver what it promised. The Federal Trade Commission sued the company that created the deceptive website and won a $17 million Judgment. You’re eligible for a payment from this Judgment. To claim your payment: ok now do y’all see what I’m talking about it. And when I filled the claim, waiting for long time and now that shows I’m not eligible for the claim and the personal information does not match any of the customer records provided by On Point Global. Ok if it say on post card that I’m eligible and the email they sent me saying that, it’s very odd. They know there’s been long to remember what websites you apply and from that time the website that distorted my life and my child information that I gave to them when I when I was applied the application and received so much phone calls and emails text messages scams and my information used to different places and relating an used ,& shared to third party and all I didn’t consider my personal information being sold out to the stranger website and didn’t have clue that now except me to have something like a evidence that shows that I used a government services website operated by On Point Global. After all damages happened from those websites. &, they expect me to have to those information to conform them &, that I used the website, unbelievable and I do have the email they sent me and text messages and my confirmation number from the housing assistance to my email they send and it was to my old phone, and when I pressed the Supporting Document
    If you have a document to attach, please do it here:
    It says: Select a fileor drag it here.
    Ok I try to put what information that I have and I Submit and all sudden it says Select a One File that’s all. And i tried an ups-way to put what I have and wouldn’t let me , I try to contact to the hotline phone number that they provide us 1866-223-6288 it says claims are closed now and they don’t give any options to choose that you have an issues that you have and you can’t even contact them in email that they even provide us noreply@onpointclaimform.com
    My second guess I’m not the only person that they sent that email it say that you are:
    Claim Status: Disallowed

    Your claim has been disallowed. If you believe this is a mistake please use the Start Claim Reconsideration button below to submit additional or updated information for reconsideration. I did and it wouldn’t let me submit and i made one file and it wasn’t submitted.. as any bodies had that issues please let me know, so I can save my breath , besides the way it looks and sounds &, they just want to give to the payments to those people’s they chooses , I’m patty sure there where a lot people’s that received those posts cards and emails and I’m not Judging no bodies, but the way the cutting off some of the people’s that claimed the payments. They coming up with a good excuse!!! personal information does not match any of the customer records provided by On Point Global. And other more excuses &, just to take you out and get nothing and they will probably give the claims payments those ones they chose and it probably be 10% of the claimers of the payments and the rest of the money left well go through there pockets..

    What confused me is the deadlines?.. at first I received the postcard on the mail. On 07/27/2022 , i did A Claim Form on 07/28/2022 , because my postcard says!…You must submit the Proof of Claim Form by August 31,2022. If you do not submit it by this deadline, you cannot get any money from this lawsuit. And when I did , I check the website! When Will I Receive My Payment? It say Payments will be released after the or before September 20, 2022. Payments may be released before or after that date. And I started to check out the website again on September 01/2022 , just to see it. And al’ suddenly it says different things like? Payments will be released after the Receiver has made her determination of allowed claims. You will receive additional communication after that determination and when payments are ready to be released. If you have submitted a Proof of Claim Form, you may review your claim’s payment status within the claims portal.

    And the deadline exchanged too!..

    You must submit the Proof of Claim Form by September 7,2022. If you do not submit it by this deadline, you cannot get any money from this lawsuit.
    I waited until a 2 weeks. And I checked again the website to see anything different and al’ suddenly exchanged to?

    You must submit the Proof of Claim Form by October 18, 2022. If you do not submit it by this deadline, you cannot get any money from this lawsuit.

    I think they will exchange again to November, 19 and then again December 20,,,,,,&,,,,,, until everyone forgets about it..
