And the same scam basically is going on today and many people who are familiar to all are part of it. One day the same thing will happen to those involved in today scams but when you're making 10's of millions of dollars a year worrying about jail isn't big on your list of priorities. Nobody gives a shit, nope. And as I've always suspected organized crime is involved in this one you can bet. The ability to run through hundreds of merchant accounts from all over the world isn't something Joe Webmaster can do - it takes people from the criminal underworld to get that job done.

Very dirty business.

Serge brokered traffic, he had nothing to do with the people who ran it, probably never met Chew. They bought traffic from all over,
probably got it from Alta Vista, Yahoo and lots of other sources.

It was dirty though, amazing how many people i've met who got the 60 dollar charges on their credit cards from that operation. I got a few until i realized what it was. Don't think I ever got a chargeback, back then my bank made you go through a whole process, filling out forms, to contest a charge, wasn't worth it to me.
