How hard is this claim to file?

The FTC distributed refunds automatically via PayPal to consumers who lost money to Sales Mentor's telemarketing training programs — no claim form was required. If you received a PayPal payment, you must accept it within the stated deadline.

Watch out for

  • You must accept the PayPal payment within 30 days or you may lose it.
  • No claim form exists — if you did not receive a PayPal payment automatically, you were not included in this distribution round.
  • Do not share personal financial information with anyone claiming to be a refund administrator outside the official FTC channels.

We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
