This article was originally posted by the FTC. See the original article here.
The FTC works to fulfill its mission in many ways, including bringing cases against companies who are being unfair or deceptive. And it’s happy news when those cases result in refunds. Last year, FTC cases returned $483 million to people who lost money to companies the FTC sued. The FTC’s latest refund announcement involves checks totaling over $11 million going out to more than 11,000 people who paid E.M. Systems & Services, a company that falsely promised consumers with credit card debt that they would reduce their interest rates and save them thousands of dollars. After settling with First Data Merchant Services — the payment processor that made it possible for this company to collect credit card payments — the FTC is sending customers of E.M. Systems & Services 100% of their lost money back.
Earlier this month, the FTC sent over 10,000 checks totaling over $4 million to fully refund people for the amount they paid to Stark Law, a company that the FTC says collected payments for fake debt by threatening to sue or arrest people who didn’t pay. And in the FTC settlement with ABCmouse, over $9.7 million went back to more than 200,000 people, mostly through PayPal. According to the FTC, ABCmouse failed to make it clear to their customers that their memberships would automatically renew and made it difficult to cancel.
To find out which recent FTC cases led to refunds, and who to contact with questions, check out ftc.gov/refunds. And remember that the FTC will never require you to pay fees in advance, or ask for sensitive information, like your bank account number. If someone contacts you claiming that they’re from the FTC and want you to spend money in order to get a refund, it’s a scam. Report that to us at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

Repeated tasks can slow down your efficiency but with Office Scripts in Excel for the web, you can automate your day-today tasks. In just a few simple steps, you can easily create a script and then share with your coworkers to automate your organization’s workflow. While you can use Office Scripts to be more productive at work, we’d like to show how you can use Office Scripts for fun!
To demonstrate the breadth and depth Office Scripts offers (and just for fun), we built a Game of Life simulator. The Game of Life, also known simply as “Life,” is a cellular automaton devised by 1970’s British mathematician, John Horton Conway. It is a zero player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. You simply create, sit back, and watch the evolution unfold.
17c/45_Reaction, 16×5 (17c45reaction.rle)
Here are the steps to create your own zero-player game:
Press the “New script” button.
Copy the code from game-of-life.ts and paste into the Code Editor (optionally, rename the script as “Conway’s Game of Life”).
Hit the “Run” button above the code editor.
After a few seconds of churning (downloading the pattern rule and setting up the game board), a small “glider” will come to life and start to travel across the worksheet.
Below are some examples of different Game of Life patterns – note the frame rates have been adjusted for demonstration purposes.
Maze wickstretcher, 6×8 (mazewickstretcher.rle)
2×2 Block Oscillators, 26×2 (2x2blockoscillators.rle)
Baker, 16×14 (baker.rle)
B3578/S238 Replicator, 7×7 (b3578s238replicator.rle)
To learn more about Office Scripts and Game of Life:
We’d love to hear from you and look forward to seeing how you use Office Scripts in your workflows. Happy scripting!
