In December 2022, Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, faced substantial fines amounting to $245 million from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The charges were a result of their implementation of "design tricks" in Fortnite's digital store, leading to millions of players making unintentional purchases.
The FTC has now announced that they will be notifying eligible Fortnite players through email over the next month, explaining how to reclaim some of their lost money. Here's what you need to know:
1. Keep an Eye on Your Inbox
2. No Email? No Worries.
3. Don't Miss the Deadline
All claims must be filed by January 17, 2024. Make sure you submit your claim before this date to ensure that you receive the refund you deserve.
4. Stay Alert for Scammers
Beware of fraudulent individuals looking to take advantage of this situation. Remember that the FTC will never ask you to pay money to file a claim. If someone offers to get you a Fortnite refund in exchange for payment, it is certainly a scam. Report any such incidents at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
