More than 25,000 people are getting refund checks from the Federal Trade Commission as a result of its settlement with the house flipping scheme Zurixx, LLC. If you’re one of them, please cash the check as soon as possible.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • The check will come from the refund administrator, JND Legal Administration — you don’t need to file a claim.
  • Got questions? Call the refund administrator directly at 888-906-0593.
  • Nobody from the FTC will call, email, or text you to demand money or personal information from you. That’s a scam.
  • You never have to pay anyone to get a payment from the FTC. That’s a scam.
  • To search for active FTC refund programs, verify details of the case, and get the phone number for help, visit www.ftc.gov/refunds.

To learn more about how the FTC returns money to consumers, check out detailed information on the FTC’s refund process and related FAQs.

Remember, anyone claiming you need to pay a fee or share personal information to get a refund from the FTC is a scammer. Report them to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
