Wednesday October 25 06:15 PM EDT Feds Close Down Alleged Boiler-Room Officials Say Workers Scammed Seniors Into Buying Service State and federal agents are in the process of closing down an alleged telemarketing boiler-room company Wednesday after more than 60 people complained to the attorney general's office about being scammed. Jackie Dowd, an assistant attorney general from the Florida attorney general's office filed a lawsuit against Advanced Consumer Services that claims the company scammed senior citizens into buying a consumer credit card protection service for $349. The company is located on State Road 436, south of the East-West expressway. The telemarketers told the seniors that they were calling on behalf of the federal government and that the service was required by law. Officials say that the service is not required by law and could be purchased for a nominal fee or free. The people who purchased the service received a bound folder that contained a CD-Rom and a couple of sheets of information about the service, but nothing else according to the attorney general's office. The owners of the company, Anthony and Tracey Andrews, have not been arrested. Officials say that arrests are pending in this case. They estimate that there are thousands of victims across 45 states. dailynews.yahoo.com
