FRESNO, Calif. (KMJ) — You may remember these TV and internet ads for Lumosity games, which claimed that customers’ would perform better on the job, and preserve mental capacity.

Participants were given so-called intense Lumosity training 5 times a week for 10 weeks.

The Federal Trade Commission has fined the company $2 million, saying their promises are deceptive.
