    FTC busts domain name scammers

    http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/64740

    "The Federal Trade Commission said today that it had permanently killed the operations of a group that it said posed as domain name registrars and convinced thousands of US consumers, small businesses and non-profit organizations to pay bogus bills by leading them to believe they would lose their Web site addresses if they didn't."

          "includes a suspended judgment of $4,261,876, the total amount of consumer injury caused by the illegal activities. Based on what the FTC called the inability of the settling defendants to pay, they will turn over $10,000 to satisfy the judgment."

              Ugh, that's awful. Seriously, wtf is wrong with laws and agencies these days? A slap on the wrist for millions of dollars of scamming?
              Want to crush it in mainstream with Facebook ads? Hit me up.

                      Don't complain. Just hang out with the guy at the corner store and slip a candy
                      bar into his pocket and them scream "Shoplifter!"

                      He'll get six months in jail for that.
