On February 11, 2020, the Polk County District granted a permanent injunction and motion for Summary Judgment against owner Alphonso Barnum of Davenport, several associates and 10 companies, after finding that it defrauded small businesses across the nation. In December 2018 the Iowa Attorney General filed suit against Barnum and the others alleging that the defendants violated the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act by using deception, confusion and high pressure tactics purportedly to sell advertisements for direct-mail pieces and promotional items, such as high school sports posters and city information guides. As a part of the Court Order the Defendants were enjoined from conducting certain business activities including telemarketing, the sale of advertising and promotional items. A civil penalty and restitution was imposed against the defendants, jointly and severally, in the total amount of $2.6 million.
