The settlement also includes various reporting and recordkeeping requirements designed to assist the FTC in monitoring their compliance. The Commission vote to accept the consent judgment for filing in court was 5-0. It was submitted to and approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, in Phoenix, on July 1. The FTC's Los Angeles Regional Office handled this Project Telesweep case for the Commission. This consent judgment is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute an admission by the defendants of law violations.
