The Federal Trade Commission is continuing to send out refund checks related to a 2022 FTC complaint against Walmart.
The commission alleged that Walmart had allowed scammers to use its money transfer services, resulting in the defrauding of customers who used money transfer services between January 2015 and December 2024.
Over 65,000 consumers will receive checks related to the complaint, which will total over $9.8 million.
It appears that the payments will come via traditional check, which must be cashed within 90 days.
According to the FTC website, other common forms of payment include prepaid debit card, PayPal and Zelle, so if you’ve yet to receive a check, keep an eye on those accounts.
If you’re worried about legitimacy, you can double-check your payment with the companies that work with the FTC to facilitate refunds:
- Analytics Consulting, LLC
- Epiq Systems
- JND Legal Administration
- Rust Consulting, Inc.
- Simpluris
