  proposed court orders that would require them to pay a total of $1 million for
  consumer refunds.

  
  

   

  
  

  In a federal court
  complaint,the FTC charged the Tennessee-based group of
  companies, Evans and Welch, Inc.; WE Capital, LLC; Traffic and Funnels, LLC;

  sales director with deceiving consumers to pay hundreds or even thousands of
  dollars for supposed telemarketing training programs that rarely, if ever,
  delivered on what was promised. In addition, the FTC said the companies

  and testimonials warning them that such conduct is illegal.
