Hello Dave!
I've been scambusting in my spare time, for a long time. LOL In fact, there is a scammer that I have tracked and written about with such passion, that he has changed his name several times, and even posted to scam.com, accusing me of all of the things he's done/ doing.
A reader of mine, brought him to my attention way back when (2001), and since the first article I wrote about him, I've had my mailbox fill up with letters from others whom he has ripped off.
His name is: Dave Turner a.k.a. Dean Phillips a.k.a. Clinton Walker a.k.a. Inside Reporter a.k.a. Marketing Basics
If you go to my RSS feed, and do a search for the name Dave Turner, you can find all of the dirt I dug up on this scumbag. He's even written to me personally, with threats. (Oh Boy!)
Unfortunately, exposing him has not shut him down. For some reason, the FTC, FBI and the Attorney General's Office are more interested in jailing porn mongers than scam artists. Even with more than 30 victims, who have joined together, the law won't go after him.
He just changes his name and sets up shop under a new domain. So, keep your eyes open for him. He promises to set people up with a marketing business, web site and all the trimmings for $1995.00, and then delivers nothing.
He is, however, finding it harder and harder to collect his money. I've reported him to PayPal, Clickbank and Western Union.
From the victims that have contacted me, I figure that he's stolen at least $80K from 30 people, world wide.
Look out for this guy, and run the other way!
