Cleo AI, an online cash advance company, has agreed to a $17 million settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Cleo AI promised consumers fast cash payments but limited the cash advances below the advertised amounts and took several days to process them.
Consumers faced difficulties in canceling subscriptions and stopping recurring fees with Cleo AI.
The settlement serves as a reminder for companies to avoid making misrepresentations and for consumers to be cautious of too-good-to-be-true offers and sharing payment information.
