Des Moines Register: The Iowa attorney general’s office has requested that another Quad Cities telemarketing firm be shut down for allegedly scamming more than a dozen small businesses around the country. The petition for temporary and permanent injunctions accuse Scott County residents Misty and Paul Barnes, through two companies, of using lies and deception to make unauthorized charges to consumers’ credit cards or bank accounts and to force consumers to pay for goods and services they would never receive, among other violations of the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act.
