Netvertise and its owner Elliot Krasnow have been ordered to return return $160,000 to its customers. The company is also banned from selling franchises for web design. According to the judgment Netvertise misrepresented the potential income from its franchises and overstated the value of its software.
Between 2000 and 2005, Netvertise sold franchises for $20,000 to $100,000, and those franchises offered Internet services to small and medium-size businesses. Included in the franchise was SEO software, which the company claimed would create first page results on Google.
But don't worry about Elliot Krasnow. This is already the second time the FTC has ruled against one of his companies for using deceptive practices. He will have his next sham company up in no time.
