Two men accused of selling classified ads in weekly newspapers that do not exist have been ordered to stop, officials said Friday.
Third District Court Judge Homer Wilkinson granted a permanent injunction against Loyd Petersen and Tim Birdsall, who operated Promotional Concepts Inc., according to a statement issued by the state attorney general's office.A complaint filed by the state Consumer Protection Division also accused the pair of failing to place ads as promised in legitimate publications.
Wilkinson ordered the men to refund all the money taken from Utah residents. Officials are urging victims to call 350-6601 for more information.
