The Commission vote approving the complaint was 2-0. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, entered a temporary restraining order against the defendants on November 1, 2017.
The FTC would like to thank the Office of the Illinois Attorney General, the Office of the Kansas Attorney General, and the Better Business Bureaus of Chicago and Northern Illinois, Manitoba and North West Ontario, New Jersey, and Metropolitan New York for their invaluable assistance.
NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has “reason to believe” that the law has been or is being violated and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The case will be decided by the court.
