The Hollywood Reporter

Flip or Flop's Tarek El Moussa and Christina Anstead are among those involved in free real estate events put on by Utah-based Zurixx LLC where attendees would be asked to pay for another three-day class that cost $1,997. "And those who paid for those classes would be taught how to apply for new credit cards and increase the credit limits on existing cards," according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Then, according to the FTC, instructors would suggest using the credit to pay for additional training that cost more than $41,000."
