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.

i can wait

:disgust

ok thank you

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.

great too bad they missed jj

Depends on if they seeded his databases too.

whose biz model does this sound like?

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!'

275 Mil shit that's a lot of dough. Easy to be a humanitarian with that much cash.

Pretty sure most of that was done for the headlines to help when people google'd him

looks at the google results of this canadian kid who was on the news for his creative billing.

adult could take some tips on online reputation management here ; )

was reading about another guy who raped people for millions on a ringtone scam. he's been throwing tons of money at charity to clean his rep for his eventual prosecution i assume.

i have jjforrestethics.com and jasonjohnsonforrestphilanthophy.com for sale.

Nice helicopter:thumbsup

Wow, Sick fucks! :error

Interesting.... hummm

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

and he stayed living in the States? what an idiot!

$275M, apparently crime does pay, very very well!

it would be great to have all the programs which were involved into that shit prosecuted :2 cents:

a few gfy members down, but damn that would be great news

woow big amounts, this banger will get banged :D

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.

Those who did the most damage in adult are wreaking much worse havoc in mainstream right now. :-(

And they are / were all doing biz with the Utah boys. It's a small circle.

Oh don't doubt that at all. Not going to help though.

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.

you can tell when the shit is going down when the reps and employees scatter off the boards.

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

Now if only they took down....

A massive internet scam sucks. The helicopter looks cool.

Nothing is recovering in 5 years the rabbit hole goes so deep on this you have no idea.

You have to basically shut down banking to stop these guys. Which is not happening.

Woot! The shit I am hearing sounding bad for the slammers. :1orglaugh

i would expect a couple big bombs to drop in adult in 2011 as well.

Syndicate Accused in Phony 'Free' Grants Scam Has Assets Frozen

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.

275mill...that's a lot of Acai Sales hehe

Who owns badcustomer.com?

before i read the article
i hope this is going to make my day

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.

:helpme ...

who are these "Utah boys"?

no names?

bombs on the way for sure!
