INDIANAPOLIS -- The state attorney general's office has sued a Chesterton, Ind., man accused of selling cornhole games and never delivering them.\nScott Thompson, also known as Scott Klenk, sold the bean-bag toss games to more than 30 people at community festivals around the state, at shopping malls and online, the attorney general's office said Monday. Thompson operated under the business names "Cornhole Gamz" and "The Backyard Board Company," with customers paying from $20 to nearly $330 for the games.\n"After hearing word from consumers that this company was failing to deliver the products it sold, the company assured us it would reform its business practices," Attorney General Steve Carter said. "Despite promises to the contrary, it continued to deceive its customers. We are seeking full refunds and an injunction barring this behavior in the future."\nThompson sold the games at events in Indianapolis, Valparaiso, Whiting, Ind., and other communities, the state said.\nThe lawsuit filed in Porter Circuit Court seeks consumer refunds, injunctive relief, costs and civil penalties.\nA home telephone number listed in Thompson's name in Chesterton was disconnected Monday.
