More than 400,000 people who were charged illegally on their credit or debit cards for Web services are finally getting their money.
The Federal Trade Commission said it has sent out that many checks to consumers on June 12 for people who were charged by J.K. Publications and other defendants in the case back in 1998.
The FTC said it took more than a decade to get this money back for consumers because the defendants in the case moved their money off-shore and it was difficult to track.
Regulators say if you’re due a restitution check from this scam, cash it immediately and don’t accept any e-mail offers regarding this money.
