Wealthy Affiliate is one of the most popular online businesses that allow people to start their own online business.
However, recently the company has been the focus of a lawsuit brought by My Online Business Education to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
MOBE claimed that Wealthy Affiliate was educating people to create negative reviews about the company in question (MOBE)
Also, the lawsuit claims that Wealthy Affiliate misrepresented the amount of money that users could earn with their program, as well as the ease with which they could set up their online business. 
The FTC alleges that Wealthy Affiliate made false and unsubstantiated claims about their program.
They claimed that users could easily make up to $4,000 a month and that within a few hours of signing up, a user could start seeing results.
The FTC claims that the company marketed their program as a “get-rich-quick” scheme and that the results were not achievable for the majority of users.
The FTC also alleges that Wealthy Affiliate failed to adequately disclose that users would need to invest money in order to be successful with their program.
The company allegedly did not inform users that they would need to purchase a domain name, web hosting, and other services in order to be successful.
The FTC is seeking a permanent injunction against Wealthy Affiliate, as well as an order to pay back all of the money they made from unsuspecting customers.
They are also seeking an order that would require Wealthy Affiliate to provide more accurate information to potential customers.
Wealthy Affiliate has denied any wrongdoing and has stated that they believe the FTC’s claims are without merit.
They have also said that they are committed to providing their customers with accurate information and that they have always been transparent about their program.
The lawsuit is still pending and it remains to be seen whether or not the FTC will be able to prove that Wealthy Affiliate violated the law.
However, this case serves as an important reminder that businesses should always be honest and upfront about the services they are offering and the results that customers can expect to achieve.
