The Federal Trade Commission has charged Tachht, Inc. and Teqqi, LLC with sending illegal spam emails that pushed questionable weight-loss products with false celebrity endorsements. The complaint alleges that since 2014, the marketing firm paid to send emails to consumers from hacked email accounts in order to make it seem as though the emails were coming from the recipients' friends and families.
