Philip J. Parana - Sales Max feit Accompli = CityMax Website Dynamics Scammed by salesmax. Citymax.com adobe acrobat 8.0 pro c/o website dynamics

Software piracy Adobe Internet scam by Sales Max, salesmax. Citymax.com

(website has been removed because of my relentless complaints to web host). If it is too good to be true... It usually is.

I ordered Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional for $79, gave my credit card over the internet. It was very late at night, I was very tired and made a really stupid mistake... I did not look for verisign, BBB, or any other logo that usually indicates it is a legitimate site.

Long story... Short version: many weeks of research and emails to the web host, tos@WebsiteDynamics.com & CityMax.com, the Sales Max website was taken down.

BUT Website Dynamics TOS Lori would not give me the information on the b* that ripped me off.

Ah... But I have a big clue, he (Sales Max... Which is Philip J. Parana) shipped the software USPS C.O.D. And wanted a Postal Money Order (very clever).

I paid the C.O.D., and after opening the envelope, I had received a pirated, phony, copied disc of completely different Adobe software & Philip typed a bogus key code on white paper and gave some really lame instructions on how to install.

RIPOFF!!! Okay... I know this is getting too long.

With a first initial of his name (P), his last name, po box 652, Buffalo, NY 14209 which is the return address Philip has the postal service mail the money order to him... I started my journey.

It turns out, this Philip J. Parana is the same person named in a Microsoft suit.

"Microsoft, which monitors its MAPS program, alleges that these subscribers falsified information to receive multiple copies of software titles. Under the MAPS program, partners are allowed to participate only once a year and are forbidden to resell the software. Use of the MAPS software is also restricted to a partner's primary business location." article is found on this website plus many others http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.Asp? AId=6971

The article also names Catherine Will along with Philip Parana, Buffalo, NY.

Buffalo, NY is in Erie County, County Clerk records search on-line finds several documents filed for Philip J. Parana (all public records).

The most recent document was filed 04/25 as a Federal Tax Lien in the amount of $28,800.68. CFN: 2007089331, Tax ID# FTL357838907, address: 266 Elmwood, Apt No 142, Buffalo, NY 14222 (it is not an apartment... Bogus)

A previous filing 05/31, Business Certificate, CFN: 2006120160. Address listed at that time was, 116 Linwood Ave #1, Buffalo, NY 14209. The reverse party listed as: LIQINT, 266 Elmwood Ave, Buffalo, NY

Previous to that filing is this: 05/03, AMD Business CT,
CFN: 200205030993; Direct Party Philip Parana, 540 Delaware Ave., Buffalo, NY 14202. Reverse Party: 321 Electronics, 163 Emerson Dr., Amherst NY, 14226.

There are more cases filed against Philip Parana, I am certain you can see the point I am trying to make here. This dude is a total scum bucket, and belongs behind cold bars of steel in the NY or maybe if I am lucky, he will find his way to a Federal Prison, for internet fraud, identify theft (he has my credit card, name, address, etc), software piracy, using the US Postal Service to do his dirty work. I think the FTC might be interested in his shenanigans.

I am also of the opinion, this is just the beginning of his life of crime. Philip is a fairly young man, probably between 27-32 years of age. Obviously very talented at being a scam artist, if only he would put his energy in a positive direction he might be able to redeem himself. Oh well...

Remember Catherine A. Will? Listed along side Philip in the Microsoft lawsuit?
Well, well... She now shows up as Catherine A. Parana. Whaddayaknow! Birds of a feather, flock together!

Yes, I will accept any legal help I can get to discipline/punish Philip J. Parana.

By the way... If anything happens to me... If I suddenly disappear or perhaps worse, I am found dead... PLEASE send the law after Philip J. Parana. I know he is going to be very angry and vengeful when he gets the heat coming down on him. He will probably send someone with a 380 caliber to do it for him.

Adobe is very interested in getting more information. I received a very nice response Chris Stickle, Enforcement Manager, Anti-Piracy, Adobe Systems, Inc. What Chris needs from me is all the originals I have, the envelope, the CD etc. Which I will send to him once I have made contact with the Postmaster General to try and trace the US Postal Money order.

I will update you as I get more info.

Signing off for tonight. August 31

Ciao
