ECF No. 25.

On December 3, 2019, Plaintiffs sought to file their First Amended Complaint for Permanent Injunction and Other Equitable Relief ("First Amended Complaint") pursuant to Section 13(b) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 53(b), and the Telemarketing Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6101-6108, the Ohio CSPA, O.R.C. 1345.07, and the Ohio TSSA, O.R.C. 4719.01 et seq., ECF No. 81, adding merits defendants Globex Telecom, Inc., 9506276 Canada, Inc., and 9896988 Canada, Inc. and moved, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b), for a temporary restraining order, asset freeze, appointment of a temporary receiver, other equitable relief, and an order to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not issue against Globex Telecom, Inc. and 9506276 Canada, Inc.

("Globex Defendants"). ECF No. 84.

FINDINGS OF FACT

The Court, having considered the Complaint, the First Amended Complaint, declarations, exhibits, and the memorandum of points and authorities filed in support thereof, and being otherwise advised, finds that:

A. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this case, and there is good cause to believe that it will have jurisdiction over all parties hereto and that venue in this district is proper.

B. Plaintiffs have sufficiently demonstrated that the Educare Defendants have engaged in and are likely to engage in acts or practices that violate Section 5(a) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 5(a), the Telemarketing Sales Rule ("TSR"), 16 C.F.R. Part 310, the CSPA, and the TSSA, and that the FTC and the State of Ohio are therefore likely to prevail on the merits of this action.

C. Among other things, Plaintiffs have demonstrated that the Globex Defendants are engaged in assisting and facilitating the Educare Defendants—by providing services to the Educare Defendants while knowing or consciously avoiding knowing that such services facilitate the unlawful telemarketing scheme—in violation of the TSR. The Educare Defendants deliver unauthorized pre-recorded telephone messages ("robocalls") to consumers in violation of the TSR. The Educare Defendants also violate the TSR by using remotely created payment orders or remotely created checks ("RCPOs") as payment for goods or services they offer or sell to consumers through telemarketing. The TSR explicitly prohibits (1) the use of RCPOs in any type of telemarketing transactions, and (2) any person from providing substantial assistance or support to any seller or telemarketer when that person knows or consciously avoids knowing that the seller or telemarketer is engaged in any act or practice that violates Sections 310.3(a), (c) or (d) or Section 310.4 of the TSR. 16 C.F.R. §§ 310.4(a)(9) and 310.3(b).

D. The Educare Defendants' telemarketing scheme has generated more than $7.5 million in RCPO payments from consumers since June 13, 2016, the date when the TSR prohibition on the use of RCPOs in telemarketing transactions went into effect.

E. Plaintiffs have sufficiently demonstrated that immediate and irreparable harm will result from the Educare Defendants' and Globex Defendants' ongoing violations of Section 5 of the FTC Act, the TSR, and the Ohio CSPA and TSSA unless restrained and enjoined by Order of this Court.

F. Good cause exists for appointing a receiver over the Receivership Entities, freezing the Globex Defendants' assets, permitting the Receiver immediate access to the Globex Defendants' business premises to obtain and take control of the Globex Defendants' business records wherever the records are stored, and permitting the Plaintiffs and the Receiver to take expedited discovery.

G. Weighing the equities and considering Plaintiffs' likelihood of ultimate success on the merits, a preliminary injunction order with an asset freeze, the appointment of a receiver, access to the Globex Defendants' business premises and records, expedited discovery, and other equitable relief is in the public interest.

H. This Court has authority to issue this Order pursuant to Section 13(b) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 53(b); Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65; and the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651.

I. No security is required of any agency of the United States for issuance of a preliminary injunction. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c).

J. The Court will issue a separate order addressing the issues raised by Defendants related to the Court's authority to enter this Preliminary Injunction.
