The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) has successfully halted an elaborate online subscription scam that defrauded individuals out of millions of dollars through deceptive “free trial” offers. The scheme, which spanned several years, targeted consumers by promising “free” cosmetics and dietary supplements, only to secretly enroll them in expensive monthly subscription plans and charge them without their consent. The settlement announced in May 2020 marks a major victory for the agency in its ongoing battle against dishonest marketing practices.
