FTC Sues Trek Alliance, Shuts Company Down

December 11, 2002

The Federal Trade Commission filed suit on December 4 against Trek Alliance, an MLM started by disgruntled Equinox reps. On December 10, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order, and appointed a temporary receiver. All the company's assets have been frozen.

The FTC alleges that Trek Alliance uses deceptive marketing practices. All business operations of the company have been suspended pending a hearing on December 23, 2002. This means that there will be no product orders or returns, no signups of new reps, no training meetings, and no commissions paid.
