The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has initiated legal action against Click Profit, an e-commerce company accused of defrauding consumers of at least $14 million through a deceptive 'passive income' scheme. According to the FTC, Click Profit promised consumers high returns by managing Amazon storefronts on their behalf, claiming returns that exceeded those of the stock market. The lawsuit highlights the FTC's ongoing efforts to combat fraudulent online business opportunities that exploit consumers. This case follows a broader trend of scrutiny on similar schemes that mislead investors into believing they can achieve effortless income through automation.
