IWorks and its shell companies tried to appeal to customers by promiently displaying the American flag or a picture of President Barack Obama on their websites.

...and did this actually APPEAL to potential 'customers'?

From the Salt Lake Paper:

In a lawsuit filed last month in Las Vegas, the Federal Trade Commission alleged Johnson, I Works and 60 related entities “tricked consumers into providing their credit and debit card billing information and then repeatedly billed these customers for memberships in various websites they never agreed to join.”

The websites touted products for “make-money schemes,” “stay-healthy programs” and information about government and private grants that purportedly could be used to pay personal expenses, the lawsuit said.
