FTC v. Touch Tone Informatino, Inc., et al. - Complaint for Injuctive Relief |
 | | Touch Tone's course of trade is in or affecting commerce, within the meaning of Section 4 of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. Since at least January 1997, Touch Tone has advertised, offered, and sold information services. |
 | | In truth and in fact, Touch Tone is not the holder of the account about which it is inquiring, and it does not seek disclosure of the private financial information for the account holder's benefit. |
 | | Touch Tone's practices as set forth above cause or are likely to cause substantial injury to consumers which is not reasonably avoidable by consumers themselves and not outweighed by countervailing benefits to consumers or to competition, and therefore constitute unfair acts or practices in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act. |
