The Federal Trade Commission’s core mission is to protect consumers from unfair and deceptive practices. This includes deceptive claims about how much money consumers can earn, which crop up across a significant swath of the economy. NACA members may challenge deceptive earnings claims in their cases and may also repeatedly see the collateral effects that income scams have on the lives of their clients. In either case, you may be interested to learn about the FTC’s work in this area, including the recently announced Earnings Claim Rulemaking (comment period open until May 10).

The FTC has taken aggressive law enforcement action against coaching or mentoring schemes, multi-level marketing companies, work-from-home, e-commerce, and other business opportunity scams, chain referral schemes involving cryptocurrency, gig companies and employers, job scams, and businesses purporting to offer educational opportunities. In this webinar, we’ll present information about the FTC’s work to combat misleading earnings claims, with a focus on law enforcement and policy initiatives.
