Marketing company in trouble in N.D.

Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem has ordered a Kentucky-based company and its operators to stop doing business in North Dakota.

BISMARCK (AP) — Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem has ordered a Kentucky-based company and its operators to stop doing business in North Dakota.

Stenehjem issued the cease-and-desist order against Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing of Lexington, Ky. He says the company has violated North Dakota transient merchant, consumer fraud, and home solicitation sales laws.

Stenehjem said Fortune Hi-Tech continued its business activities in North Dakota even after being told it could not do so without a required transient merchant license.

A company spokesman did not immediately return a telephone call Friday seeking comment.
