New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced that his office, along with the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General of Florida, have reached a $15.6M settlement with The Tax Club, Inc. related to deceptive business practices and false advertising seen in telemarketing schemes that targeted consumers operating internet-based businesses.
