Hello, i am a licensed attorney who was even recently victimized by a no conscience, fraudulent
online "websites for profit" company. I was defrauded in the amount of $900, based on a total of 6 different subscription oriented transactions at $50 each, as well as an outright $600 website purchase transaction. This online website company, thru innocent and "not so innocent" affiliates charged me these different websites under the contractual premise that they would allegedly
generated profits prior to my purchase, as well as on an ongoing basis. I have later determined, thru extensive research, that this so called company and/or their affiliates (joint venture criminal co-conspirators / tortfeasors) do/does not EVER payout the alleged profits, and merely runs a pyramid/ponzi scheme based on the lure of their fraudulent $50-$600 per website subscriptions or outright purchases.
I have since been refunded my $900 "investment" in full, by my banking institution's fraud department, however, neither the website company at issue, nor the affiliates i "bought the alleged websites" from directly, were cooperative or forthcoming with my initial refund requests once the scam was properly and legally discovered. I am currently in the process of also filing multiple complaints to the FTC, VA Attorney General's Office, FBI, Secret Service and other law enforcement regulatory agencies with general/specific jurisdiction
in this type of interstate/international online
fraudulent business activity. Even though i have been refunded the monies owed to me in full, i have received emails from others who have also been duped by this website company/affiliates. Thus, in good conscience, i would like to see these guilty parties put out of business immediately and permanently, as well as held criminally and civilly accountable for their blatantly intentional and willful fraudulent scam operations. Too many people are falling victim to this scam, and seemingly without any substantial criminal or civil law enforcement assistance to date in properly investigating and immediately prosecuting these "straight up" con artists to the full extent of criminal and civil law. Equally shocking, despite multiple and numerous complaints on this company/affiliates, reputable online payment services like paypal, stormpay, etc... Have not actively cancelled their "business accounts" or effectively report and shut them down permanently from using their legitimate services.
This failure to act and protect innocent consumer victims is truly an outrage, legally as well as morally, and the aformentioned reputable companies may want to strongly and actively start HELPING the victims who are being ripped off thru use of their payment services to this fraudulent website company/affiliates. Failure to do so and continue to overlook the blatant problem, could obviously be seen legally as paypal or stormpay, etc.."profitting" from this illegal criminal conspiracy, and they should be held just as accountable (criminal joint venture) as the main culprits, since they have a legal duty to protect the innocent victims using their payment services, especially when it has been brought clearly to their attention that this website scam is running rampid thru their "otherwise" legitimate services.
