In an agreement with the Iowa attorney general’s office, a New Jersey company and its owner have agreed to stop soliciting Iowans listed on the state treasurer’s Great Iowa Treasure Hunt, according to a release. The agreement requires Asset Recovery Services LLC, doing business as Fund Recovery, and owner Robert Scott Armstrong, 44, both of Franklinville, to cease mailings that had generated complaints from Iowa consumers and concerns from state Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald.
