Jeanette L. Douglass; Analysis to Aid Public Comment
In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair or deceptive acts or practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent agreement, accepted subject to final Commission approval, would prohibit, among other things, Douglass, an officer of Computer Business Services, Inc. (CBSI), from misrepresenting the earnings or success rate of CBSI investors, the existence of a market for CBSI's products or services, and the amount of time it would take investors to recoup their investments. The order also bars Douglass from making any representation about the performance, benefits, efficacy, or success rate of any product or service unless she possesses reliable evidence to substantiate the claims. The agreement settles allegations that potential earnings and profit claims made by CBSI were false and misleading.
