The operators of a work-from-home scheme and the CEO of their main affiliate marketing network will pay nearly $1.5 million to settle Federal Trade Commission allegations that they used misleading spam emails to lure consumers into buying work-from-home services.

In its complaint, the FTC alleges that Nevada-based Effen Ads, LLC and its owners, Jason Brailow and Brandon Harshbarger, worked with an affiliate marketing network called W4 LLC to promote a work-from-home scheme by sending bulk unsolicited email, or spam, to consumers, which generated more than 50,000 sales of the Effen Ads program.

“Effen Ads used phony celebrity endorsements, made-up news reports, and spam email from fake senders to push a work-from-home scheme,” said Andrew Smith, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “Consumers should be on alert for scams promising lots of income for little or no effort—if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”
