Being a local chap, Mr Harvey tried to contact PWW for further information, as really, their statement is not clear and the missing pieces provide ambiguous truths. But as he says,

Representatives of Pacific WebWorks did not return a phone call seeking further information about its financial report.

One such ambiguity that he highlights, is,

The (…) unspecified “unreasonable and unnecessarily” confining limitations imposed by credit card associations.

This, of course, means that chargebacks for illegal removal of money from one’s bank account, ACTUALLY WORK!!!!

So go for it folks. Any time you’re conned on-line, get a chargeback!

Mr Harvey also tellingly mentions another reason for PWWs pathetic share price – apart from the fact that earnings per share for anyone except the directors is ZERO,

Despite settling with Google, the company still faces four proposed class-action lawsuits that make many of the same allegations. In one filed in federal court in Salt Lake City, attorneys for Pacific WebWorks and the plaintiff, Song Que Hahn of California, are disputing whether Hahn can amend the suit. The proposed amendments include allegations that Pacific WebWorks, its officers and their wives created a series of companies for use in processing credit cards in order to insulate Pacific WebWorks from complaints about fraudulent charges.

Well done Tom. Just keep shouting about it. Make sure everyone knows and that nothing is forgotten. Google have dodged the issue – let’s hope the others open PWW’s dealings right out into the open.

See http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Pacific-WebWorks-Reports-Q2-bw-4013823547.html?x=0&.v=1

In here you’ll find that 2009 to 2010 2nd quarter earnings have dropped from $8.6m to $3.3m.

Earnings per share have gone up, thanks to a dramatically reduced share base. You can now get $0.03 per share….

Except you can’t, can you?

Because Pacific WebWorks DO NOT issue dividends!!!

What a bunch of sharks.

CEO Ken Bell lists the company’s achievements over the past quarter as:

* Better Management of Customer Servicing to Increase Customer Loyalty
* Release from Google Litigation
* Full Release of Web Wizard Version 5
* Repositioned company to operate consistent with new credit card association guidelines

Which is nice – but investing in his apparently now legal company still won’t turn you a profit or income unless you gamble purely on share price movements!

The little link at the courthouse news page foot takes you to the actual court summons as a pdf, http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/07/14/FakeNews.pdf

If you read carefully, the lawyers do separate PWW from the rest, collectively called John Doe. However, I agree with you that it’s a bit of a job for them to go after all the businesses…

The trouble is that the whole THING together, is a scam, but the scam is separated into notionally separate entities who, on the surface, appear to generally operate legally, and in isolation. I don’t actually believe this, of course, as I think they’re all in it together, colluding in a massive collective conspirational scam.

And so while they may be able to claim immunity from prosecution within their own particular fields, in both the UK and USA, conspiring to commit a crime, is a crime nevertheless, even though an individual’s part in it may not be criminal. (In fact, this notion is part of the court case, count III, in the pdf. It’s a pretty stunning read actually.)

Much like the getaway driver in a robbery. The CPA networks and the rest are like him. He, as the driver, could say that he was only driving a car, legally, as he has a licence and the car is insured (say). But handling stolen goods is the crime of the driver, and PWW, via their money dealing services, are doing much the same!!!
The CPA networks could be said to be breaking in or cracking the safe doors, and the ad networks could be likened to dodgy cafes and bars, always on the lookout for new suckers or skilled fellow thieves to join in the heist.

“end of analogy time!!”

However, this court case could be the reason that PWW’s share price fell – even when the Google court case was settled!!!

Speaking of fake news, this Courthouse news service post on a Pacific Webworks class action lawsuit shows that prosecuters still haven’t quite got to grips with the whole cpa affiliate networks > affiliates > advertisers triangle:

The complaint claims that Pacific operates under a variety of Internet names including Tracking202 Inc.; Media Trust LLC (Advaliant); CyberPlex inc. (CX Digital Media); Coleadium Inc. (Ads4Dough); JAR Media LLC; Sybtrackcom; eSynergy Media LLC; W4 Media LLC; Bskytracking.com; GMB Direct Inc.; Elite Clicks Media LLC; Tracklead.net; Track606.com; Intermark Communications Inc. (Copeac); Zoomleads.net; Vetrue Incorporated (Neverblue); Lidango; and Convert2Media LLC.

Yes those all play a part in the scam, but they are seperate companies and not part of Pacific Webworks.

No wonder scams thrive when the lawyers can’t even work out the basics of how all these scams operate!

Most of those websites on that list were/are run as “offers” by most of the cpa affiliate networks – it seems that the whole cpa affiliate marketing industry exists for the sole purpose of being a “middleman” for scams! (Although increasingly not even the ‘middleman’ as many of the networks now simply create their own ‘offers’ (scams) rather than taking on advertisers: more control and much more profit! )

It’s the same old story of churn and burn – with constantly changing product names and websites promoting the same thing!

They’re obviously trying to take some care with the templates being used, but the old mistakes about the main URL not matching the page header or page title, or the page title not being the same as the “business” listed in the Terms & Conditions etc – they’re all re-appearing again now in their haste to get as many websites up and running as possible.

The plethora of websites in that list you produced show exactly what is going on. This is it here again: http://sameip.org/ip/174.143.30.126/

BTW, have a fish around for XM Brands and their shape-shifting owner or owners… (This is a Google search on someone that is claimed to be the shape shifter on some complaints’ boards. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Issa+Asad It’s a family affair and appears to be big business in telecoms, mainly in bottom end card sales)

I’ve still to check out some allegations made about the Asad’s (if that’s their name) and their “businesses”, and if they are actually the same business… (This is the trouble when people actually lie and deceive as a pastime).

But see these links for now, and the huge URL list compiled by Chuck Turner. Follow through on the Asad searches and some pretty strong words are spoken and research is made.

“General Refund Policy
In accordance with standard practice for online digital sales and our terms of sale for each transaction, we are unable to refund any payment after any purchase is made. This no refund policy is a result of the non-returnable nature of digital products.

Digital products sold via this website are like software purchases made at a store that are not refundable once opened. Once you have been granted access to the product, upon payment, it has been subject to being “opened”, read/viewed/listened to, and/or copied and it cannot be returned and therefore cannot be refunded. Access to your purchase is defined as having been granted as soon as your payment is completed and we have sent you an email with a login url, your username and password.”

…I think of Charlie Brown (of Peanuts fame) when they talk about “standard practices”…

Q: Just where did you come up with these “standard practices”
A: Home Based Income Academy/Charlie Brown – “We just now made them up!”
