An update on the "carolcox.org" scam website run by the "Mexican".

We filed a DMCA complaint and a Trademark infringement complaint with the prime hosting company at http://www.theplanet.com. They finally acted on it, and removed the illegal content that was up. I did notify them that all the other pages were also in infringement, but I guess they are waiting on the individual site owners to file a DMCA. So if you have one of the noted websites, I would recommend that you also file a DMCA as ThePlanet.com will act on it.


The interesting thing here is that although the content has been removed, when you go to http://www.carolcox.org a join page for xxxpass.com is still there. I do find in amazing, and quite unsettling, that QuickBucks allows this to continue. They obviously are running all the sites in question as anyone else would quickly act and remove the offending affiliate (if there indeed is one). At this point, they are showing that they either own the sites, or are in full collaboration with it. There really is no other explanation....although I would love to hear one from a QuickBucks representative.
