Forms Direct, Inc. Settles with FTC on USCIS Imposter Allegations, Must Pay $2.2 Million in Refunds

The Federal Trade Commission settled with Forms Direct, Inc., after finding that the defendants falsely implied that their websites were affiliated with USCIS. The defendants allegedly used such deception since 2010 to sell immigration form preparation services to consumers, many of whom were attempting to reach the government site to renew their green cards or apply for naturalization. The FTC’s settlement bars the defendants from continuing their misleading business practices and requires them to pay $2.2 million to compensate consumers.
