3 Dec 2025 Southern Health Solutions, Inc. (Next Medical / NextMed)NextMed: FTC settlement over allegations of hidden costs and review manipulation USAFake reviews €128,557

According to the FTC, the telemedicine company advertised GLP-1 weight-loss programmes with monthly prices that did not include medication, laboratory costs and medical consultations, concealed the minimum term and cancellation fees, published fake testimonials from employees and relatives, and induced customers to delete negative reviews by offering vouchers or refunds. Under the final settlement order, the company and its management are paying 150,000 USD, which is earmarked for refunds.

What organisations can take from it

"Buying off" negative reviews with vouchers is just as misleading as inventing positive ones.
