In this post Dangerous EffectiveCleanse – and Scams Too! two weeks ago, I mentioned how a scumbag webhost called byet.org is redirecting a client’s Amazon Shop clicks to that other pustule of conmanship called MyBookFace.net

MyBookFace Homepage Screendump

Well I’ve just checked and it’s still on. (Someone wants to get that fixed!) At the bottom of the MyBookFace landing page was an yet another advert for home working. It’s the red one at the bottom and unusually, it’s BRITISH!

“Aye up!”, I thought. “What’s going on here?”

What is going on is exactly the same rubbish that we’ve seen countless times from the rich jokers at Pacific Webworks (PWW).

Internet Success - Emily Rosher

This time, you’ll find the nice young family of “Emily Rosher”. The website is at,

http://www.bizsuccessblogs.com/emilyrosher/blog/ (this company is hidden by a domain privacy outfit in Toronto)

As we know from our Google Treasure Chest, Google Money Kit, Google Revolution and other experiences, this isn’t real. Check out the screendump. See the smiling honest faces. See the cheque with the same fingers as last year. See the false comments and how they’ve stopped due to “spam” and “distasteful contents”…

Helpfully, if you check out at the very bottom of the screendump they tell it’s all false. (You’ll have to click the little green arrow to expand the picture size once it’s loaded to be able to see this)

But the $1.97 shipping fee is now a £1.23 fee. Nowhere on “Emily’s” blog does it mention any monthly charges, but, y’know, you can still do all the bollocks of trying to cancel and still watch as requests for refunds are handled with disdain even though you think you’re within the time limit.

Q. How do I know this?

A. Because that’s what they do and that’s what they’ve always done. A leopard can’t change it’s spots. We have almost countless complaints against these charlatans.

Emily’s Saviour?

“Emily” bases all her success on one product. It’s got a new name, and looks slightly different to Google Treasure Chest. It’s called;

You’ll find it here if you follow “Emily’s” link,

https://secure1.s3curehost.com/gophuk/?offer=go_pw_cmv8&cm=514785&id1=894177674&id2=[OPTINFO]&session-id=06281e5f7f823c0036c28274637e9abc#

It just trips off the tongue for a catchy web address, doesn’t it?

A leopard, waiting to pounce on the Unwary?

A simple WHOIS on s3curehost.com shows it all run by Intellipay a.k.a Pacific Webworks in Salt Lake City, Utah (see my other postings for their details).

But check out the layout! Handily it’s got a nice Union Flag in case you’re confused. It also says

Emily's T&Cs

“As seen on BBC, Economist, Guardian” – but then says at the bottom that it has nothing to do with Google? Curious…

Let’s go back to Emily’s website. Check out her Terms & Conditions. She says, “This website is not associated with ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, or USA Today.” Er…where did they come from?

Source of “As Seen On…” Statements

Now despite the Google Kit being bollocks, there’s an interesting link in Emily’s T&C page (check the screen-dump). In a nutshell, this claims that ALL the references ever made about “Stores Seen on ABC, AOL, Global, CNN and CNBC” emanate from this single New York Times post from 2006!

It’s called, Google’s Shadow Payroll Is Not Such a Secret Anymore. It’s a reasonable enough piece, but one thing it’s distinctly lacking in, is the phrase “Stores Seen on ABC, AOL, Global, CNN and CNBC” or anything remotely similar to it or the various companies listed!

WTF!

Conclusion – or should that be Con, Clue? Shun!

One thing lacking from the “British” google thing is any mention of County Durham – in Britain! The Philippines & Cyprus, Gibraltar & Nevis are also lacking. Previously, in the Google Treasure Chest scam, these places popped up all the time. Myself, @Not Kevin and others have spent many an hour chasing these things down.

PWW is certainly responding to the hits it’s getting both legal from the courts and verbal from all the various websites devoted to pulling apart their shady dealings.

The T&Cs make this clear in the “British” Google thing. Specific mention is made that forces the “customer” not to start any chargeback proceedings no matter what the cause…. (..er What about UK distance-selling regulations? Isn’t this a “British” site? Ha Ha. Don’t you believe it.)

This PROVES that chargebacks work and is the thing that PWW are most afraid of. Here’s two bits from the T&Cs that prove this:

1.2 You unconditionally and expressly agree and accept the Conditions set forth herein as a binding contract (“the Agreement”) enforceable by law.

AND

4.1 You agree that any disputed fee will not be charged back to Your credit card issuer. You expressly agree to submit in writing any objection regarding fees to 230 West 400 South, Suite 100 SLC UT, 84101
4.2 PCO, in its sole discretion, shall determine the validity of Your objection and notify You of its decision. Should You disagree with PCO decision, You agree to mediate the dispute before litigation.
4.3 You agree to indemnify PCO or associated product owners or resellers for any financial harm or any losses caused by Your objections to fees that do not comply with this Agreement. You will be held responsible for the reimbursement of any fees and losses incurred as a result of Your failure to comply with any provision in this Agreement.

Q.E.D.

They’re just putting the frighteners on. PCO, by the way, stands for http://www.profitcenteronline.com, Profit Center Online. It’s really PWW and is in Utah at the same PWW address.

Economists and Scams

Why Economists and Scam Merchants are the Same

Today’s news that the cost of the global credit crunch meltdown has quadrupled in a year should come as no surprise to followers of the GoogleTreasureChest scamsters. See :

Meltdown losses of ‘$4 trillion’

Last year, the highly salaried ‘professional’ economists at the IMF, many having spent a lifetime in the field, said the cost would be $1T. Now it’s going to be $4T. Presumably next year it will be $16T? I think my guess is as good as anyone’s – and that’s all they appear to be doing for their pay – guessing.

It’s not a skill being an economist. It’s certainly not a science.

It’s actually more like the Google Treasure Chest scam than a professional approach to money management. All they’ve actually done is say the cost is small, and then whack on huge bills afterwards.

If they knew things would get this bad then they should have said so initially instead of lying.
If they didn’t know, then what are they being paid for? They should be sacked for incompetence. Can they not add up?

The worst part of it all is that the IMF can and do impose swingeing conditions on national bailouts. Ghana is the latest country to feel their whip. All Ghana is asking for is $1G, 1/4000^th of the IMF’s miscalculation! Ghana will have to sell it’s soul, grow cash crops instead of food for it’s people, and be in hoc with the IMF devil for decades. If the rich countries had kept their 2005 promises, none of this would have been necessary.

Now can you see the similarity between an economist and a Scam merchant?

Banks Withdraw Tracker Mortgages, What an Odd Job?

Happenstance, Circumstance or Co-incidence?

In Ian Fleming’s “Goldfinger”, the villain, Auric Goldfinger uses part of the above phrase after bumping into James Bond several times. The second time he actually says to Mister Bond;

Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action

In this article (Warning signs that may force committee to think big) from yesterday, Larry Elliott of the Guardian lists his probabilities for the next possible Bank of England interest rate change, later in the day.

The Base Lending Rate, since Labour gave the responsibility to the Bank of England shortly after the 1997 landslide election, is set by a bunch of folk called the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). They meet every month and almost without exception, by definition, are career economists to some degree. This means, by definition, that they’ve had close ties to all the financial shenanigans that have brought us the global chaos we now are enduring.

Mysteriously, the day before yesterday, virtually all banks withdrew their tracker mortgages. The rest followed suit late yesterday. The Abbey even put up tracker rates!

Lenders pull tracker ranges ahead of likely cut in rates

Co-incidentally, the rate shot down a virtually unprecedented 1.5% straight afterwards!

BANK RATE CUT CAUSES CHAOS, Banks under pressure to cut rates

So apart from some initial speculation like here, the only people who knew about this big rate cut were the MPC and maybe the Chancellor Alistair Darling, the Prime Minister Brown and any secret service folk listening in on private conversations….

Lloyds TSB & Northern Rock were some that withdrew tracker rates ahead of the MPC meeting. Many others have made them unattainable by the kind of folk that currently have them (~90% of mortgages!) BTW, I’m one of the 10% that have a SVR mortgage :roll: Trackers are unobtainable to the many because of pecunious LTV ratios which, because of the property slump, many people cannot achieve.

Now get your crystal ball out, and look forward a few years and see where these people, (who had a good chance of real knowledge about the rate changes), are working. Check them through here, and then later decide, that if now, there has been a conflict of interest.

Don’t decide now, the waters are too muddy. But they will clear with the passage of time. Adam Smith‘s “Wealth of Nations” makes this clear when he says that even though all people act through personal greed, the free market self regulates this for the common good. In this process, motives, quite often, are only recognised well after an event.

It’s Adam Smith’s creed that we’ve been operating under for some years now.

Georgia: Disaster looms for the West while it Watches the East

Strangely post on August 9th, 2008

If the nation is destroyed and people’s homes are wiped out, then where can one flee for safety? If you care anything about your personal security, you should first of all pray for order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land, should you not? – Nichiren Daishonin / On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land – WND1, page 24

In a previous post here I warned about the impending chaos in Georgia. Now the walls are shaking, the ground is trembling and the people are quaking under the onslaught of modern weaponry from both sides.

So is it about tanks and guns and independence and freedom? Possibly.

How will it affect the West, and thus the rest of the world?

_44905628_d9867d03_6f68_44f7_ad3d_43ffc98647fe_1_

Two tanks burn after being hit in the fierce fighting in the breakaway Georgian region of South Ossetia, where Georgian troops have been attempting to regain control from rebels.

In this Times article, they say,

More than a thousand civilians were reported to have been killed and large parts of Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia, were reduced to ruins as a conflict with potentially global repercussions erupted after months of rising tension (…) Georgia has said that it was withdrawing half of its 2,000 troops from Iraq as it ordered an all-out military mobilisation.

The country is the West’s strongest ally in the region (…) and a vital conduit for Western oil and gas supplies from Central Asia.(my emphasis)

This pipeline is one of many running through the area.

The fact that an increasingly belligerent Russia, striving to prove itself as a major power again after a decade or so in the doldrums, may control the taps on the pipelines supplying the West, isn’t the immediate problem.

The fact that supplies can be interrupted at any moment is the problem.

Because when a major source of energy is broken, prices increase to reflect the reduced supply.

So the West and the rest of the World, China, India, Japan etc will all have to argue and pay more for their fuel.

This could be the trigger the economists have been waiting for to tip the world into a depression.

And we are all captivated, looking East at the Olympics, while an ethnic, political and economic crisis with potential effects much worse than those in Kosovo, Ruanda or Sudan, develops like an infected boil on the back of the neck of a beautiful woman.

Bizarrely, for China and America who have been so worried about who’s thunder might drown out the other’s trumpeting over the last few months, may find that this conflict might escalate to overshadow the human rights abuses of both countries or the self-publicity machine that is the Olympics.

The Olympics might just become a side show on a much wider stage. Which would be sad.
