Career Step, a for-profit online career training company, has agreed to a $43.5 million proposed settlement to resolve Federal Trade Commission (FTC) claims that it targeted servicemembers and their spouses with deceptive advertising about its programs and the successes of its students. Additionally, the FTC is distributing $12 million in refund checks to thousands of Americans who were harmed by a Utah-based real estate investment coaching scheme run by Zurixx.
