of these fictitious companies, and victim
credit card charges were processed
through those accounts, rather than
through a single merchant account in
the name of MNF. With similar
knowledge, EPS engaged in the
underwriting and approval of MNF’s
fictitious companies and submitted
merchant account applications for these
fictitious companies to its acquirer.
Using the services of two payment
processors, EPS enabled more than $4.6
million in MNF transactions to be
processed through these and other
fraudulent merchant accounts.
The Commission’s proposed
Complaint alleges that EPS’s conduct
regarding the MNF fictitious companies
and their merchant accounts constituted
an unfair act or practice under Section
5 of the FTC Act and assistance and
facilitation of illegal credit card
laundering under Section 310.3(b) of the
Telemarketing Sales Rule, 16 CFR
310.3(b); see also § 310.3(c) (banning
credit card laundering).
The proposed Order contains
provisions designed to prevent EPS
from engaging in the same or similar
acts or practices in the future. Section
I of the proposed Order contains
prohibitions against engaging in credit
card laundering; engaging in tactics to
evade fraud monitoring or risk
monitoring programs; providing
payment processing services to any
merchant that is engaged in any act or
practice that is, or is likely to be,
deceptive or unfair; and providing
payment processing services to, or
acting as an ISO for, any merchant that
is listed on the MasterCard Member
Alert to Control High-Risk Merchants
(MATCH) list for several enumerated
reasons.
Section II imposes screening
requirements that EPS must implement
when it screens applications from
prospective merchants that fall under
the definition of ‘‘Additional Review
Merchants.’’ The definition of
Additional Review Merchant includes
categories of EPS merchants that have
been the subject of FTC cases:
Merchants who engage in outbound
telemarketing and merchants selling
specific services (debt collection, debt
relief, credit-related services, rental
housing listings, job listings, or ‘‘Money
Making Opportunities,’’ as defined in
the order). Heightened screening of
Additional Review Merchants includes
obtaining detailed information about the
merchant’s business, as laid out in the
order. EPS would also be required to
take reasonable steps to verify the
accuracy of the due diligence
information it obtains.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:50 Mar 24, 2022
Jkt 256001
Section III requires increased
monitoring of Additional Review
Merchants. The order requires EPS to
investigate merchants whose chargeback
rate exceeds 1% and whose total
number of chargebacks exceeds 55 per
month in two of the preceding six
months. Section IV requires monitoring
of sales agents and termination of sales
agents who are engaged in tactics to
conceal credit card laundering.
Sections V through IX are reporting
and compliance provisions that allow
the Commission to better monitor EPS’s
ongoing compliance with the Order.
Under Section IX, the Order will expire
in twenty years, with certain exceptions.
The purpose of this analysis is to aid
public comment on the proposed Order.
It is not intended to constitute an
official interpretation of the Complaint
or proposed Order, or to modify in any
way the proposed Order’s terms.
By direction of the Commission.
April J. Tabor,
Secretary.

Protections’’ (80 FR 72192, November
18, 2015) require that, to maintain its
status as a grandfathered health plan, a
plan must maintain records
documenting the terms of the plan in
effect on March 23, 2010, and any other
documents that are necessary to verify,
explain or clarify status as a
grandfathered health plan. The plan
must make such records available for
examination upon request by
participants, beneficiaries, individual
policy subscribers, or a state or federal
agency official. A grandfathered health

under the plan or health insurance
coverage, that the plan or coverage
believes it is a grandfathered health plan
within the meaning of section 1251 of
the Affordable Care Act, and providing
contact information for participants to
direct questions and complaints. In
addition, a grandfathered group health
plan that is changing health insurance
issuers is required to provide the
succeeding health insurance issuer (and
the succeeding health insurance issuer
must require) documentation of plan
terms (including benefits, cost sharing,
employer contributions, and annual
limits) under the prior health insurance
coverage sufficient to make a
determination whether the standards of
paragraph § 147.140(g)(1) of the final
regulations are exceeded. It is also
required that, for an insured group
health plan (or a multiemployer plan)
that is a grandfathered plan, the relevant
policies, certificates, or contracts of
insurance, or plan documents must
disclose in a prominent and effective
manner that employers, employee
organizations, or plan sponsors, as
applicable, are required to notify the
issuer (or multiemployer plan) if the
contribution rate changes at any point
during the plan year. Form Number:
