I spent my entire savings on a “passive income course.” It turned out to be a YouTube playlist. Can I get a refund?

Many Americans search for financial stability through online courses that promise high returns with minimal effort. The internet also makes learning widely accessible, but it creates opportunities for misleading marketing and poorly structured educational products. A situation where someone pays for a “passive income course” only to receive a repackaged playlist mirrors a growing problem of low-value digital content sold at premium prices. Consumer protection laws exist to offer recourse, but success depends on factors like the platform’s refund policies, advertising claims made by the seller, and whether the course delivery matches its stated description. Understanding these parameters helps consumers assess their options before deciding how to respond.
