Yup. 30k is paltry. On your bbb link, the third company listed after the individuals is “Performance Products”, which is exactly the company that swindled the complainant in the Ripoff Report link from two days ago, 10 Feb 2010.

So six months on, same old thing. People get swindled and robbed by the same old people in the same old manner – and nothing happens.

In this case, they are not even “hopping from one scam to another”, as you said…. It’s exactly the same!!!!

So someone now has to go to the bother of raising more lawsuits to get some paltry fine, during which time the Gallands et al will have raked it all in and stuffed their ill-gotten gains abroad. It does make you wonder if they have any law in what was the “Wild West”?

Why don’t they just string’em like they did in the old days?

Further evidence of how the Utah scammers just hop from one scam to another – acai, Google cash, colon cleanse, teeth whitening etc – is provided by this note in the BBB report on Smile Bright:

“On July 30, 2009 the Utah Division of Consumer Protection entered into a Settlement Agreement with York Galland, Jennifer Galland, Adam Galland, Emily Galland, Patricia Terry, First Support Solutions, Performance Health USA LLC, Performance Products, Timpanogos Management LLC, AEG Partners LTD, YJG Partners LTD, B67 Nutra Pure Systems LLC (ResvPure), 37 Vital Health Systems (Pure Colon 1000), 456 Vital Health Systems LLC (ResvPro), T89 Wie Vita Systems LLC (Denta White), 96 Vital Health Systems (Pure Açai Berry), 96 Pure Nature Products (Maqui Berry Burn), Pomegranate Weight Loss, 405 Natural Health Systems (Smile Brite), U22 Wie Natural Products (Açai Fire), 456 Vital Health Systems (Pure Cleanse), Endless Momentum (Açai VAS), Your Google Income, Fast Google Income, Madness Instant Money, Money Genetor LLC and Health Results (“Respondents”).
http://www.bbb.org/utah/business-reviews/scientifically-unproven-health-and-medical-product-providers/smile-bright-in-orem-ut-22240671

Yes a multitude of scams [everything from "Fast Google Income" to "Pomegranate Weight Loss" to the usual suspects of Acai, colon cleansing etc] – all linked to the same outfit / group of people / companies. Note the paltry $30k fine – the scammers probably rake in more than that in one day. Not much evidence of “consumer protection” there. Clearly a family affair too with all the Galland’s: “York Galland, Jennifer Galland, Adam Galland, Emily Galland”.

This link points to someone who has fallen into the same trap(s) with an Utah business (again) at;
51 West Center St,
Orem
Utah 84058,

… with multiple “offers” being anonymously signed up for, followed by obstructive and lying customer service etc.

This was yesterday, 10 Feb 2010, months after the FTC ordered closedowns on the related companies….

One “offer” was for a permutation on our old Google Treasure/Money/Cash Chest/Tree/Collector nemesis, this time called …

“Google Cash Center”

And now, check out this complaint from June 2009.
http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/blazing-keywords-a-1-google-chest-c208392.html

The address is at the bottom and is….

51 West Center St,
Orem
Utah 84058

The same!
And what’s more, the complaint is about Blazing Keywords / A-1 Google Chest which is not far removed from “Google Cash Center” is it?

I ran their pages through, and to be fair, all the crap terms etc, their contact details and even their limited time (3 month tops) contract are reasonably clear and consistent across the various site pages.
Granted, their web pages still use old php code with Google in the name, and they may still be crap at refunds or cancellations when asked and their actual contactability may end up being suspect when it’s tested….
But at first glance, to me, the amount of hidden stuff is very much reduced compared to the old Google Treasure Chest type of stuff.

Now lets see if consumers have had any trouble with them so far?…..hmmmm.

OH NO! I wish you hadn’t have done that. I thought I was shot of:
“Hi. My name is Michael Green” !!!

You’re not wrong though. This site pops up a lot in relation to the grants scams. I had two postings that sort-of pick this up that contain a heap of references to other much-more-professional scam-busters than myself. See

Look for “Michael Green” if you can’t find eauctionathome directly. eauctionathome T&C pull out on the old Cyprus connection again. Dear, dear. Now what could people in Cyprus POSSIBLY know about US grants or auctions?

Hmmmm?

Perhaps word is getting out amongst the scammer community that a small village in County Durham is THE place to have your HQ!

…but this: http://strangelyperfect.tv/6150/co-durham-and-utah-weirder-than-i-imagined/

Shildon in Co Durham is 2nd tops for credit card fraud in the UK!! Over 1 in 4 transactions are bad from this village of ~10k persons!

County Durham again!

On top of your Gillmap etc research, it turns out that not only is Jesse Willms blessed with a suicidal tendency by taking on one of the world’s biggest companies (Microsoft), and losing, but he’s now in the Acai & Dazzle Dents charge sheet from one of the world’s wealthiest and certainly most powerful women (Oprah Winfrey), or at least Dazzle ****something random**** is. I think (or certainly hope) that even Cyrus isn’t Farend enough (pun intended) for Oprah’s legal tentacles. (see my take on it here: http://strangelyperfect.tv/6305/monavie-gillmap-idaho-falls-google-treasure-chest-and-oprah/)
I’m pretty sure that old Steve Comer’s place in Utah was on the Oprah charge sheet as well, although I haven’t taken the time to follow through all the addresses (there were over 50 companies & individuals named – and rising!). Even if it wasn’t him, it was just down the road, and we know what that means from studying the Utah maps and genealogy trees….

But as you say, they ARE all connected. I think there’s only one degree of separation between this lot now, not even two. Surely, by now, it must be a piece of cake to wheel this lot off to the Huntsville Sodomy Tree? Oprah’s charges relate to the individuals operating the scams as well as the companies – so it’s no good changing the company names Willms… Her lawyers have carefully crafted the charge to read something like “persons A & B, owning or controlling the interests of company C on a date round about ‘this date’ as shown in the offending screen-shot (see screenshot).” It means that name changes won’t do and I suspect they have a wodge of proof that the scammers were very tightly tied to the operations.
Maybe even Nicosia isn’t that safe now to stash away some ill-gotten gains? Turkey still wants to join the EU, it’s a key NATO member and it uses the Euro in general circulation. With the recent money-laundering efforts by international co-operation following the banking collapses, I suspect conditions will be placed on entry that could include opening up dodgy Stavros hideaways?

Way back in June I posted that

“Steve Comer has been busy registering more domains and setting up
websites with links to newly created UK Ltd companies in County Durham:

Well I just came across that Lumley Drive address again – this time on the emillionaire.com website – the home of a previous scam run by a fella called Brock Felt in Florida:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=brock+felt+emillionaire&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/base/thread?tid=731ed5d8320c6794&hl=en

Now as far as I know Brock Felt down in his Florida swamp has/had no connection with Mr Comer way up in Utah. However the emillionnaire.com website (and terms page) now give the address as:
*Online Business Transactions Ltd*
24 Lumley Drive
Delves Lane, County Durham
Consett DH8 7OS
United Kingdom
800-309-6980
(For the past year it has been a Florida address).

Perhaps word is getting out amongst the scammer community that a small village in County Durham is THE place to have your HQ!

That exact same address is listed as the address of isocialmedia – some get rich quick with twitter and facebook nonsense:
http://www.scamtimes.com/headline/social-media-scams-facebook-twitter/

http://www.google.com/search?q=24+Lumley+Drive+Delves+Lane,+County+Durham+Consett+DH8+7OS&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&filter=0

Another Durham address appears to be linked to various dubious ‘health
products’ colon cleanse etc:
http://www.google.com/search?q=65+Chaytor+Road+Bridgehill%2C+County+Durham+Consett+DH8+8QH&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a

So that means Mr ‘emillionaire’ Felt in Florida, Mr Steve Comer in Utah and Mr J Willms in Canada ALL have connections to addresses in County
Durham.

Meanwhile our friend Jesse Willms has decided to change his product name from Dazzlewhite to Dazzle Smile and his company name from
Gillmap Limited (in County Durham) to Farend Services Limited (in North Cyprus)
Farend Services Limited
3 Athinodorou Street, 2025 Dasoupoli,
Strovolos, Nicosia, Cyprus

Nicosia and County Durham – the scam hotspots of Europe!

I’ve been revisiting the Nevis conundrum. Check out the official government site here:
http://www.gisnevis.com/links.cfm
and some finance sites like:
http://www.thebankofnevis.com/productsandservices.cfm
This one, the official government bank, has a highly suspicious Money Tree logo, given our starting points in these investigations! Ha Ha.

Or try this site:
http://www.nevisfinance.com/Faqs.cfm
…for it’s comforting messages of forthrightness and legality(bearing in mind the promise of absolute client secrecy that the island affords those that can pay)
On this same site, there’s a list of regulated, licensed companies operating on the island, under “Professional Directory”. They are grouped into various classes, like Accounting, Credit Unions etc.

Under nearly all entries, all the companies are Nevis based. Our P.O. Box 642 is under “Registered Agents”, http://www.nevisfinance.com/Directory.cfm?Idz=1

However, check under “Licensed Insurance Managers” and we get a wholly different setup! http://www.nevisfinance.com/Directory.cfm?Idz=102

There are 15 companies listed here. Here I list the State where they abide. There’s a few shocks!

Park City, UTAH
Irvine, CA
Newport Beach, CA
Charlestown, Nevis
Charlestown, Nevis
Charlestown, Nevis
Basseterre, Nevis
McMinnville, Tennessee
Charlestown, Nevis
Tortola, Virgin Is
Charlestown, Nevis (Gibraltar Trust Company dot com!!!)
Charlestown, Nevis
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Mesa, Arizona
Ramsey, NJ

Quite a few of these places (although not the exact addresses) have appeared time and again in our research.
And remember; for all the other business classes, virtually all businesses are Nevis addressed!

According to Wikipedia, there were 17k banks registered in Nevis in 1998…..the population is just 12k. This is about one and a half banks per person!

So what exactly is a Licensed Insurance Manager???

You may say that these are just co-incidences. It’s just that these co-incidences stink.
Why are there no investors and companies from France, Germany, New Zealand, Namibia, Chelmsford?

Why, time and again, do we see Utah, Gibraltar, New York, Arizona and California?

The smell does go the the heart of the City of London though (as it would, as it was there that the whole concept of offshore banking was dreamt up as a means for the British ruling classes, the aristocracy, to hide their wealth when inheritance tax came in after WW1). One of the Nevis companies (PKF), is in Farringdon Road, EC1. Doubtless there are many more, and being multinational, PKF would have to have offices everywhere that money holes up. It’s their job.

Gibraltar, Utah, County Durham, Nevis. It just goes round and round.
