Two Businesses Banned From Making Telemarketing Calls in Arizona for 6 Years

Two businesses that sold work-from-home opportunities are banned from telemarketing and operating in Arizona for six years. First Progress, Nortec Strategies, and their owner, Eli Rabadi, will also pay $22,300 in restitution to consumers who purchased websites from them. The Attorney General’s Office launched an investigation into First Progress and Nortec Strategies after consumers complained about deceptive statements allegedly made by the businesses when marketing websites to out-of-state consumers. During the investigation, the Attorney General’s Office identified several unlawful marketing practices allegedly employed by the businesses, such as making deceptive statements about the value and profitability of the merchandise sold. Anyone who purchased a website from First Progress or Nortec Strategies and has not received a refund or credit card chargeback may be eligible for restitution if they contact the Attorney General’s Office to submit a complaint to the Attorney General’s Office by May 26th.
