Jobs at Just Think Media
Interesting info on Jesse Willms and Just Think Media…
Now that my Google Alerts’ portfolio has expanded, I’ve seen two jobs advertised at Just Think Media. Somewhat appropriately, they are for a Web Designer and a Legal Assistant!!!
See:
These are the screen-shots below for when the adverts are eventually pulled:
Legal assistant job in Sherwood Park - Simply Hired Canada
Find Jobs - Web Graphics Designer Jobs in Edmonton, Alberta - Just Think Media
Interestingly, and yet somehow not surprisingly, the second advert for a web designer (shown right), includes at the bottom, one of those scammy adverts for teeth whitener!!!
You can’t make it it up, can you?
Postscript
The teeth whitening ads take you to these websites below in turn.
- http://jennysteethwhitening.com/01/ This is a fake blog, a “flog” as they are called, which goes to two website links
- http://www.softteethclean.com/lp2/?aid=eads&sid=402055&hid=378851854#utm_source=eads&utm_medium=402055&utm_term=378851854&utm_content=Go+White This finishes off with that Consett address again! – LB Envision Net Worldwide Ltd., DH8 0LH Blackhill.
- http://www.altawhite.com/ This last website here is notable for having an enormous list of medical exclusions and ingredients, yet mysteriously does not tell a potential purchaser who they are actually buying from….
A Flying Pig
It’s nice to see that a few million-dollar law suits haven’t kept the scammers down. It gives us all something to talk about because I enjoy it so much…. NOT!

Jesse Willms doesn’t seem to know when to stop. Either that, or he’s trying to maximise his income in preparation for the huge court cases being brought against him!
These 3 complaints against his teeth-whitening efforts all came in during the past 24 hours!

As you can see, these are not inconsequential amounts of money being drawn against people’s accounts. All done in the same manner as previously, where a consumer signs up for one thing, finds they are actually signed up for a whole host of other ‘offers’, and then can’t cancel or get redress for a single one of them!!!

Well it looks like for some of these scammers processing payments will at least temporarily be a t more difficult:
“Visa Inc. has cut off 100 scammers who use bogus marketing techniques to dupe consumers in the past six months. Among the most common hustles: billing the credit cards of customers who thought they were getting free trial products like dietary supplements or teeth whiteners $79.95 per month or more, and then making them jump through hurdles to get the charges to stop.
“Consumers are being fleeced,” Sheedy said.
Visa told The Associated Press that about 100 merchants had their payment processing terminated because of chronic complaints since early summer. The scam is now so common, the Visa is teaming up with the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau to alert consumers.”
http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9CL2N0O0.htm
Twenty-nine percent of online U.S. consumers victimized by deceptive marketing:
http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/visa/41736/
I wonder if Just Think Media and their catalogue of ‘products’: http://www.webcops.net/just_think_media_spam_scams_8001.html is on the Visa list?

My son got scammed by Dazzle Smile. I got his money back but from the bank, not them, not after they “promised” to refund the money. I am writing to the consumer protection division in every state. We need to change the law so that you cannot advertise a “free trial” and hook people in. If you want to help, do a reply.

Jesse Willms is the head of JustThink Media, an Internet scammer based in Sherwood Park, Alberta. His products use fraudulent endoresements of Oprah and Dr. Oz (currently suing Willms) and once you sign up, you’ll never be able to cancel.

Willms is Canada’s biggest Internet marketing douche bag, but his victims are worldwide. He should be water-boarded with acai berry.

Jesse is still taking on web designer staff! Either,
business is booming (see above for instance, or even better, review the discussion and screen-shot at the bottom of http://www.pennyauctionwatch.com/2010/05/swipebids-reviewer/ which is here: http://www.pennyauctionwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/swipebids-guide-BLOG.png This shows a Jesse Willms website with it’s source code showing the rapid changes that ol’ Jesse always has to make to cover his tracks….);
or the staff get sacked when they dump ol’ Jesse into the brown stuff when they leak compromising information out into his websites
or the staff move on quick when they find out what a pile of poo they’re working for…?

Looks like there is someone in Florida who has a lot in common with Jesse Willms.
Nicolas Molina – subject of lawsuits from the Illinois and Florida Attorney generals as well as Oprah:
“Investigators also believe that Advanced Wellness company president Nicolas Molina and vice president Michael Trimarco became aware of the investigation and sold their business to Kelly O’Shea, a former Advanced Wellness employee. O’Shea created a new entity, Netalab Corp., and allegedly continued the same unfair and deceptive trade practices initially begun by Advanced Wellness. The complaints, in fact, have kept on coming”. From:
http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2009/09/fl_acai_berry.html#ixzz0tnqD7J00
http://assets.bizjournals.com/cms_media/southflorida/pdf/Advanced%20Wellness%20Complaint.pdf
As well as (like Jesse Willms) being sued by Oprah for acai scams, Nicolas Molina (like Jesse) also has a website where he talks about himself in the third person about what a great ‘entrepreneur’ he is in ridiculously glowing terms:
nicholasmolina.professionalwhois.com/
Funny how “Professional Whois” only contains one profile (Nicolas Molina) and links to a whole bunch of companies which he has nothing to do with!
It seems that Nicolas Molina is still in the Acai business despite all the lawsuits: his latest venture
is TransactPlus, LLC
927 Lincoln Road, Suite 200
Miami Beach, FL 33139 which corporationwiki.com shows is “Incorporated by The Nicolas Molina 2006 Revocable Trust” no less! Take a look at the “client list” at transactplus.com/client-list.html and you will find
BrightTeeth, ColoFlush, Dermacai, Pure Acai Berry Pro, Pure Rez V Pro, WhiteningNow and Google Profit House!
transactplus.com is on the same server as safepaysecure.com which appears to be linked to XM Brands (also in Florida):

Checked out ol’ Jesse Willms’s website recently? (‘http://jessewillms.com)
Well it’s got another entry entitled “Google PPC Success”!
In the sidebar it says “Top Three Topics”….
…the only problem is that there are only three posts…and comments are disabled!! Ha Ha.
On top of it all, while mentioning exactly where in Canada his little entrepreneurial cesspit is located, a whois of his website, is still protected by Monicker Privacy Services!!! See http://whois.domaintools.com/jessewillms.com
Personally, I think Jesse has writers cramp from his high output in January, May and August this year…. Either that, or from fending off all the lawyers and credit card chappies…

For an insight into what ol’ Jesse is up to with his 3 page self-indulgent piece of fiction called jessewillms.com, see what happened as the Google cache machine passed by:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://jessewillms.com/?p=79
Page 79 is called
It says that the “Article coming soon”.
But what appears to have happened is that Jesse had a change of mind and put out this page instead:
‘http://jessewillms.com/?page_id=83
It just makes me want to vomit.
To continue onto his “About” page, this is what he says about himself;
Ethics? !!
This is from a man who goes to any lengths to scam people and will say or do any single thing, absolutely anything, to shift the focus from his scamming practices.
What actually needs to happen is for him to give back all the money he’s stolen from people, and stop waffling on in his weasely way about giving to the community, because, without any proof otherwise, it’s just a pile of poop.
Jesse is storing up some hellish karmic retribution for the future! Saying that one does charitable acts, while actually stealing, is about as low as it gets…
Karmic Retribution? Look it up! It’s all cause and effect, folks.

Vomit inducing indeed. There seems to be no limit to the depths Jesse Willms is prepared to sink to.
Clearly he lives in some kind of parallel universe if he thinks he of all people can “provide advice for other companies who want to do ethical business on the Internet and showcase the best practices of the Internet marketing industry”!! WTF!? Really you could not make this stuff up!
As for his philanthropy; I think the National Breast Cancer Foundation in Australia may have a somewhat different view of Jesse Willms and his charitable intentions! :

Maybe Jesse Willms’s use of the word “integrity” comes from his business being located in the same building as “Integrity Insurance & Financial Services Inc”. See the building (number 85), here;

Looks like Jesse Willms is back to his old trick of using a UK Ltd company for his shenanigans (remember Gillmap Limited, the “World Headqaurters” of Dazzlesmile/Dazzlewhite in County Durham?). The new one is called Circle Media Bids Limited and was incorporated on 03 August 2010:

The “company incorporation specialists” through which it was registered are “offshore company formation specialists” who also “incorporate limited liability companies in Cyprus” as well as Belize, Nevis and other exotic locales:

@not Kevin.
You’ll be pleased to know that I got four spams for SwipeBids this morning right next to your comment in my spam filters!
They were ALL giving a Circle Media Bids un-subscribe link and address – although all the links were totally different – as were all the source email addresses.
Interestingly, they ALL say to un-subscribe here:
However, checking further down the spam and there are selection of OTHER un-subscribe email addresses, which demonstrates the ubiquity and all-pervasive nature of spam, plus the dis-believable trouble that exists in un-subscribing!
These commence with their claim as follows, which is a jpeg picture, NOT text, so it’s hard to copy and/or trace!…
It hyperlinks you to a web address which supposedly un-subscribes you.
I also had an unsub link from urbanresources.com, whois?
Steve Dipressi
42257 Sand Palm Way
Lancaster, California 93536
United States
But they also say;
Another click-able image, but no text, for an unsub was here,
I vaguely remember this one from an earlier investigation. If my memory serves me right, it’s down a new build road of houses on Google StreetView, which still seem incomplete.
In short. It’s just like before…….
The stealing.
The hiding.
The weasel wording.
The catalogue of dissatisfied “customers”.
The Financial chicanery.
The multitude of businesses.
The plethora of business and associate addresses.
The overseas accounting.
and finally,
The SPAM!
Q. Have I missed anything?
Check out the screen-shot of the SwipeBids link from one of these spams….
As @Not Kevin’s link showed, only VISA seems to be handling the serial fraudster’s billings these days. And actually, he seems to be a bit afraid of all the other card companies except VISA because they VISA is the only credit card logo one showing. Ha Ha.
His usual trick of whacking up a load of logos (seen at the bottom, here) and then claiming that he’s nothing to do with them falls a bit hollow though – when you consider that one logo really looks like security….
Even more bizarrely, he sticks up the UPS logo, then claims not to be associated with them, even though, (as we all know), his businesses and others like it have previously all been close to a UPS depot so that stuff can be easily posted off! (Even more bizarrely, the security logo AND the BBC referral link which appears during the credit card validation check, are both served from a CloudFront server owned by Amazon – http://whois.domaintools.com/cloudfront.net)
I’ve just checked their website to see what it means….
It means bugger all, actually, and will probably be in contravention of GoDaddy’s Terms and Conditions about uses of logo, brand awareness and/or copyright. See http://www.godaddy.com/ssl/ssl-certificates.aspx?ci=22081&isc=gsfnuk02 and then dig down through http://www.godaddy.com/Agreements/ShowDoc.aspx?pageid=TOU&ci=20801&app_hdr=0.
The gold padlock is for use with premium SSL hostings who’ve had accountant-type documentation etc. to validate and authenticate the business they’re in, and it’s legality etc.
I’ve just run a quick (fictional) credit card through the SwipeBids registration system and at no point do the GoDaddy icons and locks show, as they should, from reading the GoDaddy T&Cs!
Furthermore, the logo at the bottom is of others joined together, the GoDaddy one being much smaller than it should, so that nothing is legible, but an aura of authenticity remains.
Bizarrely (I use this word a lot with ol’ Jesse), yay bizarrely, Jesse IS registered on the TRUSTe system, yet chooses NOT to blab about it with a logo or anything on the main pages, but in his own T&Cs!!! See http://www.truste.com/trusted_sites/index.html#S where his Web Privacy Seal tallies with that claimed by him.
However, if you truly believe the serial fibber, then you’re a mug, mate. This Truste Web Privacy Seal supposedly keeps your data private – which leads me to the question,
I’ve checked some quotation links also. The BBC quote (there are a few quotes during the registration process) comes from an investigation into on-line betting and gambling which is what they say SwipeBids and similar sites actually are. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7793054.stm
All in all, as usual with ANYTHING that Jesse Willms says and does;
it stinks,
it lies,
it steals.
That’s ol’ Jesse for ya!

I think Jesse Willms is watching the goings-on at Pacific WebWorks (PWW) very closely. See http://strangelyperfect.tv/5146/more-on-google-profits-and-pacific-webworks/#comment-2671
In an effort to dodge what he sees as the inevitable flak, he’s continually making deflection moves to alter his public face of conman, fraudster and thief to that of a caring philanthropist!
‘http://jessewillmscommunity.wordpress.com/2010/08/18/how-i-was-inspired-by-warren-buffett-and-bill-gates-to-give-money-to-charity/
This latest pollution (above) of the internet airwaves is another fluff to his denialist ego. It’s a continuation of his SEO theme of making multiple small self-referential blogs to up his profile.
It won’t work though. Just check out the litany of complaints on “rip-off report” etc for enduring proof of his crimes.

I wonder if he is watching the goings at Central Coast Nutraceuticals, Inc closely too:
“A US district court has ordered the marketers of acai berry supplements, “colon cleansers,” and other products to temporarily stop Internet sales schemes that allegedly scam consumers out of more than $30 million in 2009 through deceptive advertising and unfair billing practices, as requested by the Federal Trade Commission. ”
http://origin.businessreviewusa.com/news/rachael-ray/court-orders-halt-marketing-acai-supplement
Sounds very similar to the scams Just Think Media / Jesse Willms ran last year!
“the court order halts the allegedly illegal conduct of Central Coast Nutraceuticals, Inc., imposes an asset freeze and appoints a temporary receiver over CCN and several related companies, while the FTC moves forward with its case to stop the company’s bogus health claims and other deceptive and unfair conduct.”
http://origin.businessreviewusa.com/news/rachael-ray/court-orders-halt-marketing-acai-supplement
My guess is that all Jesse’s UK Ltd companies and Cyprus Ltd Companies are an attempt to avoid a similar fate? An asset freeze being somewhat more complicated for the FTC to achieve when the money is in far flung ltd companies…
As for Jesse Willms donation of $1000 to Kiva being worthy of a press release (no doubt just a part of his SEO efforts) – as a multi-millionaire donating $1000 is to him like donating $1 would be to those of us of more modest means. Hardly a gesture of such generosity as to be deemed newsworthy! I gave $1 to a homeless person this week, perhaps I too should prepare a press release!!
As for “noted-entrepreneur-and-philanthropist” – the press release can only have been written by him as nobody else would use those words to describe Jesse Willms! Although I am sure the thousands of people fleeced by his scams would come up with more accurate alternative descriptions of Jesse Willms!

Thanks @Not Kevin. Above is some key evidence that the FTC is using. It’s a promo video, straight from the marketer’s website.
The rest of the stuff is here as links:

In detail, we have:
Now me, myself, am slightly bemused by ol’ Jesse’s antics?
How, as a brilliant entrepreneur and philanthropist, does he find time to weasel around with poxy little blogs, inflating his diminishing ego in such pathetic ways?
I mean, it isn’t even SEO efficient, is it? The only people that notice this buffoonery are ourselves because we are deliberately seeking him out!
For instance, I use a Firefox plugin called SearchStatus 1.33. As well as quick WHOIS lookups, I can see the page and site rankings for anything I visit.
Currently I’m Alexa ranked 493,939.
‘JessWillms.com is Alexa ranked 1,573,726.
As I said, it’s not even effective. His little self-pats-on-the-back are inconsequential in the great www of things. Why doesn’t he do himself a favour and put all his obvious talents into something good and legal. When I say ‘al’l, I mean all!
Not a few pence as a subterfugial diversion.
Interestingly, Alexa show the number of sites linking onto a given site. This website has 255 links, ‘jessewillms.com has 6.
Five are what you’d expect e.g. his LinkedIn profile. One is for a weird site that contains nothing but a few pictures and links. It’s ‘http://liambowers.com/ and there’s probably a lot of stuff going on in the background but inaccessible via the webs server.
This is the WHOIS for this website http://whois.domaintools.com/liambowers.com :
Now when I get time, if you don’t beat me to it, I need to check out that New York address…… let’s see what we shall see.
n.b. a quick check pulls out heaps of porn and an ebay user with the same name!

ONE: since commenting above about SwipeBids’ efforts at spamming me (http://strangelyperfect.tv/7108/jobs-at-just-think-media/#comment-2663), I accidentally went to the link and “un-subscribed” at that time, and since then the spam for SwipeBids has trebled! Nice!
The new crop all say to un-subscribe using the links or write to the same address;
TWO:
Someone is still being scammed by the Google Money Tree – at least that’s what you’d think from the google alert to this website:
http://www.shamscam.com/google-money-tree-charging-a923.html?PHPSESSID=28feda79497948e511a7383b15f10039
Unfortunately, it’s not dated, so I can’t answer for its veracity. And they’re certainly busy folks!!!
Because a reverse IP call on their IP address, http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/web-sites-on-web-server/, pulls out a list of 298 domains hosted on the same web server, 174.133.193.90.
What’s clear though, is that the website shamscam hides their identity: http://whois.domaintools.com/shamscam.com , which isn’t a good sign.
THREE: Another Google alert took me to this website which seems to be confused over it’s motives:
Following this posting,
http://pennyburners.com/swipebids/attn-swipebids-victims
…where it warns people about the dangers of SwipeBids and ol’ Jesse Willms, the very next day comes this posting:
http://pennyburners.com/abcpennyauctions/163-abc-penny-auctions-for-sale
…where they are flogging penny auction sites, not entirely dissimilar to SwipeBids. They claim to be the guardian and informer of all things good and bad about penny auctions.
I’m not so sure about the whole penny auction ethos anyway, but they’ve put some of their expertise and time to good use, they say! From this page http://pennyburners.com/swipebids/attn-swipebids-victims on the website:
The thing is,apart from the fact that I never knew a “penny auction community” existed, it actually looks alright – it’s the idea of flogging the blooming things that puts the spanner in the works for me….
Despite links back to the main anti-scam sites that I’ve referred to many times, there’s something odd about selling cheap auctions sites, if you see what I mean? I mean, what if there then exist websites selling websites that auction, in an auction? It’s just too weird.
Let the show begin!

Looks like Swipebids is stepping up their advertising blitz with ads appearing on Facebook: http://thegraygeek.blogspot.com/2010/08/scam-of-penny-auctions-swipebidscom.html as well as on the MSNBC website:

(What is it with these scammers and their Melissa Theuriau obsession!) :)
They are also churning out garbage press release fluff authored by a “John Smith”

ahh…Melissa! That’s why – they’re all written by young blokes!
That FreePressIndex site is down so I couldn’t check it out. But it does seem that Willms is following the same desperate pattern that we’ve seen with other scam sites previously – some of his own creation, even!
Desperate times indeed.
Now check out what is happening on the Monavie front. On this blog, http://www.lazymanandmoney.com/monavie-scam-was-my-wife-recruited-sell-snake-oil/#comments, 7k comments after the initial post and also having endured two previous threats from the Monavie company, the guy Lazy Man has now been threatened with blackmail! See this post:
As a reminder of how good and nice and kind and pink he is, here’s a laugh,
‘http://jessewillmsethics.com/
and here’s a cry, going back a few years, into Willms’ dealings and fines he’s paid for being so misunderstood;

Going back the the re-appearance of the various addresses used by Willms and the others… Have you seen the latest news about Northern Cyprus which was prompted by the return of Asil Nadir to the UK to answer charges relating to his Polly Peck collapse? See:
It quite concisely explains how Cyprus became a haven for scoundrels, and how and why now, even though there are no official treaties, Cyprus is opening up and booting the scum out!
It’s probably all hanging off the Turkish desire to get into the EU and for the USA’s desire to keep its missiles stationed in Turkey.
Whatever, it all seems to point to a harder time for scum wishing to hide themselves and/or their profits.

Jesse Willms’ local paper http://www.sherwoodparknews.com, has cottoned onto his dodgy dealings now – see http://www.sherwoodparknews.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2735606
From this we learn that his new business is yet another numerical nom de scam of:
A quick search on this produces a long list of scam complaints, even without the “scam” keyword.
One item of note, is that ol’ Jesse has taken to suing a business for… get this…
He’s suing http://www.quibids.com/, whose site looks remarkably like his own, apart from a couple of notable differences:
ONE: QBids’ Verisign logo works correctly and is not plastered with third party logos (apart the those accepted credit cards ) that imply some legality to the site. Willm’s use of the term “Share the Fun” with a heap of non-working networking links beggars belief…!
TWO: QBids is not emblazoned with a huge advert saying,
“Swipebids is helping kids grow all around the world!”
This last is particularly distasteful! The link goes to: http://www.swipebids.com/world_vision_charity.php
It contains a heap of stomach churning rubbish without an ounce of real substance.
And again! What? More?
yep! Jesse has obviously been following the FTCs recent work against scams and scammers like him. Recently, they asserted that businesses like his were little more than a lottery and should come under gaming laws. And so Jesse has ANOTHER new page extolling his world view that “buying non-returnable bids” is not gambling!
The “quote” marks above are there to emphasise that these are NOT real auctions, NOT real bids as most people understand the term.
If ol’ Jesse tried this in a Roman market of old, he’d be crucified within 30 minutes!
But it’s not “days of yore” and he gets away with it using the smoke and mirrors of the web and copious shadow companies located all over the world.
Jesse’s pronouncements on the definition of gambling and lotteries can be found on his new page here, http://www.swipebids.com/not_gambling_new.php
Smoke and mirrors time, folks!
MEANWHILE:
Jesse is fending off ANOTHER court case. See this one from California, http://dockets.justia.com/docket/california/caedce/2:2010at01264/212911/ The nature of this case is very familiar to Jesse Willms as he’s been sued and lost many times for:

To Whom It May Concern:
You’ve made the news. You’ve received the free advertising. You have an information website. The prices (ending bids) seem to good to be true. I couldn’t find a “contact us” e-mail address anywhere. Maybe I missed it.
What else did I miss…the $159.00, up-front, “bidding fee”. Please explain at your earliest convenience.
To good to be true? Maybe/May not.

Terry Schneider
