According to the FTC’s complaint, filed in November 2017, Tarr,
Inc. used a vast network of online marketers to sell more than 40 different
products mostly advertised as promoting weight loss, muscle building, or
wrinkle-reduction. The FTC alleged that the defendants used unsupported
claims, fake magazine and news sites, bogus celebrity endorsements, and phony
consumer testimonials to market their products. The FTC also alleged that the defendants used
deceptive offers of “free” and “risk-free” trials, and automatically enrolled
people without their consent in programs that charged them for additional
products each month. The settlement prohibits the defendants from using the
deceptive marketing tactics alleged in the FTC’s complaint and imposed a
suspended monetary judgment that required them to pay $6.4 million to the FTC
to provide refunds. Recipients should deposit or cash checks
within 60 days, as indicated on the check. The FTC never requires consumers
to pay money or provide account information to cash a refund check. Consumers with questions about these refunds
should contact the FTC’s refund administrator, Epiq,
at 877-861-1501. More information about
the FTC’s refund program is available at ftc.gov/refunds. The Federal Trade Commission works to promote
competition, and protect
