Virginia, 29 other states reach settlement with Cameo

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares this week announced a 30-state settlement with the company that operates popular video communication platform Cameo, resolving allegations that the company did not provide appropriate disclosures to consumers purchasing personalized video business messages and did not provide refunds to users who had their requests for voice messages rejected as improperly booked.

The settlement with Baron App, Inc. also will result in the implementation of a watermark system on Cameo for ads, legal disclosures, and monitoring for compliance with the settlement.

Cameo offers users the chance to purchase personalized video messages from a wide variety of celebrities.

“Protecting consumers from deceptive practices is a top priority,” said Miyares. “This settlement ensures that companies like Cameo uphold their responsibility to provide transparent and fair services to all users. We will continue to hold accountable those who fail to follow the law and put consumers at risk.”
