Big credit card banger gets nailed, the rest of you bitches are next!

http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/money/5...-ebay.html.csp

The card companies have figured it out, they know who is doing what and how. They went for one of the biggest 1st and will work down the list.

Now it will just take another 5 years for consumers to trust buying online again.

Johnson also is known for his humanitarian efforts. After a massive earthquake struck Haiti in January, he flew doctors, food and supplies into the impoverished Caribbean nation and then flew orphans to Florida, where they met their adopting families.

There is a lot of money in "orphans" too.

whose biz model does this sound like?

http://ftc.gov/opa/2010/12/iworks.shtm

The websites offer “free” information at no risk and ask consumers to provide their credit or debit card numbers to pay for a small shipping and handling fee such as $1.99. When consumers provide their billing information, though, I Works proceeds to charge them hefty one-time fees of up to $129.95 and monthly recurring fees of up to $59.95 for the grant or money-making programs. I Works charges them additional monthly fees for one or more unrelated programs that consumers did not agree to.

To keep the scam going, the defendants tricked banks into giving them continued access to these billing systems by creating 51shell companies with figurehead officers, and by providing the banks with phony “clean” versions of their websites.

"They have also attempted to drive down their chargeback rates by threatening to report consumers who seek chargebacks to an Internet consumer blacklist they operate called `BadCustomer.com' that will `result in member merchants blocking [the consumer] from making future purchases online!'

correct me if im wrong but this is civil not criminal

if that is correct he will settle with the ftc for pennies on the dollar of what he made and laugh all the way to his next scam

there are many in this business who have done that and profited handsomely

they look at it as a cost of doing business

SaltyDroid has had good coverage of this mess, which actually extends to Utah's attorney general - who is corrupt and has blood all over his hands in these scams. The AG is currently undergoing treatment for cancer. Karmas a bitch.

that shit stinks from a far..
seems the west is sometimes still the wild wild west where paying off the right people get you legal.
and you are correct, this is the FTC suing.. that is not a criminal action.
you can steal peoples money using a scam and it is no crime... apparently.

Exactly, I remember a story after the tsunami of people taking kids and adopting them for tens of thousands of dollars. The system was so over loaded that lots of kids just got taken and these people made bank for their "humanitarian efforts"

As for the card bangers, the time is near for some major news of big raids and people going down hard! Can't come soon enough

Some of the shit running last year on mainstream before the FTC stepped in was really borderline criminal. The rebills craze in mainstream up until 2010 made a lot of people shitloads of money.

Great case in point of what I was saying in another thread how people who pop up out of no where and make 100's of million of dollars in a short period of time very likely did so in illegal ways " The St. George man lauded as a hero for numerous charitable efforts in Utah and Haiti has taken in$275 million since 2006 in a ?massive Internet scam,? according to a federal court document. "

Fuck them, they should do life in prison. Earn your money like everyone else. Greed is a bitch. The guy could have probably stopped at a much smaller amount after a short period of time and never been caught.
