N.D. – (NewsDakota.com) Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem issued a Cease and Desist Order, banning Krystle Lester and her business Elite Supplies, of Anaheim, California, from doing business in the state due to alleged violations of the consumer fraud law and refusal to cooperate with the Attorney General’s investigation.

Lester, is believed to be engaged in a so-called “invoice scam” or “toner pirate scheme” designed to deceive businesses into overpaying for copier toner that they never ordered or received. 

The Attorney General has received complaints indicating that Lester has specifically targeted libraries in the state.  However, there is reason to believe that she may also have been targeting health care facilities, professional offices and other businesses across the state.

After receiving complaints against Lester, investigators from the Consumer Protection Division made contact with Lester, who, after vague promises to cooperate and provide information, responded by informing investigators that she had simply deleted all records pertaining to the North Dakota businesses that had filed complaints.  Lester subsequently refused to cooperate with the Attorney General’s investigation.
