This August, the Federal Trade Commission returned money to consumers in six refund settlements.
Hey Dude FTC refunds
The FTC returned almost $1.9 million to Hey Dude customers affected by the shoe retailerโs allegedly deceptive practices.
According to the FTC, Hey Dude misled consumers about shipping delays and sent unwanted gift cards instead of refunds when customers purchased out-of-stock items. In addition, the shoe seller allegedly hid negative product reviews to mislead consumers.
The FTC sent the refunds to 36,757 Hey Dude customers who purchased shoes from the online seller. It also banned the company from misrepresenting consumer reviews and further violating the Mail Order Rule.
Those who receive a PayPal payment should accept it within 30 days.

Response Marketing FTC refunds
The FTC sent $10 million in refunds to consumers who paid for Response Marketingโs alleged real estate investment training scam.
The FTC claims Response Marketing used celebrity endorsements and empty promises to deceive consumers into thinking they could earn significant profits from flipping houses. In reality, Response Marketing reportedly fabricated these claims to sell its real estate investment training program.ย
The FTC refunded 4,670 customers for the money they lost on Response Marketingโs program. To receive a refund, consumers had to file a valid claim form by June 19, 2024.
Individuals who receive a refund check should cash it within 90 days. Consumers who receive a PayPal payment should accept it within 30 days.

Yellowstone Capital FTC refunds
The FTC sent a second round of refunds to small businesses harmed by Yellowstone Capitalโs allegedly unlawful withdrawals.ย
According to the FTC, Yellowstone Capital withdrew money from small business bank accounts after they repaid the full amount owed to the company. In some cases, Yellowstone Capital allegedly withdrew hundreds or thousands of dollars without permission.
In June 2022, the FTC sent the initial round of refunds, which totalled over $6.4 million. Now, with remaining money in the fund, the agency is returning additional funds to 4,981 small businesses that accepted their first payments. The second round of FTC refunds totals more than $3.3 million.
Individuals who receive a refund check should cash it within 90 days.

Lanier Law FTC refunds
The FTC returned more than $222,000 to consumers who lost money due to Lanier Lawโs alleged mortgage relief debt scheme.
The FTC claims Lanier Law and several other related companies operated a deceptive mortgage relief scheme that promised to help prevent foreclosure, modify home loans and lower payments. In reality, the scheme allegedly charged upfront fees and then failed to provide any of the help promised.ย
The FTC banned the defendants from the debt relief business and ordered them to pay fines. It used this fund to pay 322 people who lost money to Lanier Lawโs reported scam. To receive payments, consumers needed to submit a valid claim form before the deadline.
Individuals who receive a refund check should cash it within 90 days.
Consumers can direct additional questions about these refunds to Analytics Consulting LLC at 866-590-8211.
YF Solution FTC refunds
The FTC sent a second round of refunds to consumers who lost money due to a reported YF Solution or GDP Network debt relief scheme.
According to the FTC and the Florida attorney general, YF Solution and its owners operated deceptive debt relief schemes that pretended to be connected with reputable credit card companies. The schemes, which also operated under the name GDP Network, allegedly promised to reduce credit card interest rates but charged up to $3,995 in upfront fees while providing no relief.ย
The FTC sent the first round of refunds in May 2023, which returned more than $457,000 to affected consumers. Now, with remaining funds, the FTC distributed a second round of payments totaling more than $88,000 to 500 individuals who accepted their initial FTC refunds.
Individuals who receive a refund check should cash it within 90 days.
Consumers can direct additional questions about these refunds to JND Legal Administration at 844-633-0708.

I agree I havenโt done my due diligence in research. But at least Iโm happy @ chainabusealert got me 90% of my holdings back after this terrible collapse. I know I must be real lucky as Iโm aware of what others are facing out there. Good work from team @ chainabusealert on INSTAGRAM. Great guys !

I took a private approach to recovery in my case with FTX. I contacted @CHAINABUSEALERT on IG a crypto security expert to help get my money back from FTX scam platform. He was accommodating and took the time to explain every eventuality of what was going to happen. On this occasion, my bank did not help try to get my money back, and despite CAA efforts, they dropped the case and said they could not do anything. I was disappointed to hear this from my bank; either way, CAS helped as much as possible, and even though we were unsuccessful with my bank, he went further to negotiate a backdoor settlement for me by blackmailing FTX after hacking their system and stealing valuable sensitive data.
ย Itโs pretty much no win, no loss on my part and settlement came legally through my bank account attached.
ย I strongly recommend you use C H A I N A B U S E A L E R T if you have found yourself being played by a fraudulent CEX like Coinbase and FTX. CHAIN ABUSE ALERT @D U C K. COM .
