Thanks to feedback from readers pouring in on a regular basis I am getting more and more background information on the current Internet scam, may it be the Kelly Richards scheme, FastNetLearning.Com, or the Weight Loss (Acai Berry Diet) scam. It seems the scammers are also using facebook to find even more victims.

See the information I received from a reader:

McAfee Research Blog has picked up on this scam which is also being promoted right here on Facebook!

It appears that the company behind many of the scams (dba Syndex Industries) is actually based in Florida (according to the BBB) and is called XM Brands:

So people should contact the Florida Attorney General too if they have been caught by this scam.

Mention XM Brands when you contact them, as they are currently investigating them: http://myfloridalegal.com/__85256309005085AB.nsf/0/E2B4046B28E10B148525768C005B8E6C?Open&Highlight=0%2Cxm%2Cbrands

British Intelligence has produced evidence that he is the mastermind behind a conspiracy to assassinate the First Minister of Northern Ireland. For Whelan this is not only a mission of revenge, but marks the beginning of a journey into the past and the return to the one true love: Ireland.

The Bleeding Hills is available at Amazon.Com, Amazon.co.uk, Barnes & Nobel, and any other good bookstore.

    I haven’t been victimized by these scams. That’s a good thing. But I pity those who believed these things. This should be shared to avoid damages. Thank you for being an eye-opener.

    I just fallen for this “get rich quick” scheme and i thought i was net savvy. Just goes to show that anyone can let their guard down and get robbed of their hard earned cash. Just wish i had read this excellent article before jumping in.

    These guys are extremely clever. I almost fell for them, too. And yet again, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t. It’s always worth to google first before committing to anything unknown.
