According to the\u00a0<\/a>FTC\u2019s April 2023 complaint<\/a> Nexway and two of its officers were at the center of several offshore tech support scams, processing tens of millions of dollars in charges and giving the scammers access to the U.S. credit card network. The defendants agreed to a settlement with the FTC that prohibits them from any further payment laundering and requires them to closely monitor other high-risk clients for illegal activity. The defendants also had to turn over assets, which the FTC is using to refund consumers.<\/p>\n
