Yes Phil, I know how to stop it. You have to understand that if someone is advertizing a website that is guaranteed to make x dollars per month and they are selling it for a low fee compared to the guaranteed revenues then you have to avoid it.

I discussed this problem with one of my friends today and he mentioned the old phrase "a fool and his money is easily parted".

No one will sell a guaranteed money making business for less than it's worth. On the stock market, all companies have a price/earnings (PE) ratio. This is the number of years it takes for earnings to equal the stock market valuation of their business. Normally it's over 10x earnings.

Phil is probably one of these scammers since he wants to collect money to fight it? Just delele these problem posters! Or better still refer them to your contacts in the ex-soviet union and sort them out.

Sorry about that.  We banned the user, and deleted all posts made by "him".  Also, this forum can only be posted in now if you are a registered member.  Hopefully, that will stop any abuse.

Phil, people continue to remove your posts not because you have something positive to say about the company, but because we are all pretty sure you are lying through your teeth. If you review Andy's posts it becomes clear that this is not an honest, healthy way to do business. You know this, you work for them.

Seems like the abuse has not been stopped. I guess they are annoyed at the loss of a valuable source of income and like a baby, they are throwing a tantrum.  Grin

Fine, you left your positive statement.  But, do NOT knock anyone on here who has complained or spam this thread, or I will ban you.  I have no intention of deleting your last message nor banning you at this point.  Don't make me regret my decision.

Can you go back and errase critical comments that were made about me - like this one? Or is it O.K. to knock me?
When I read this I was really shocked and deeply offended!

Please, do us all a favor and stop posting.]

Nothing could be further from the truth! These comments were intended to bully and intimidate me off this site. And coming from a woman... no less!

I removed the please stop posting part of the post, but I left the rest.  The reason is because it was an explaination of why people were complaining about your post.  I didn't feel it was an attack on you.

With all of the negative input received about lilhost, it's very easy to assume someone who comes "charging to the rescue" is working for them.  Just do a Yahoo or Google search on them and you'll see what I mean.  So, at this point, I am not even convinced that you are just a satisfied customer.  However, I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Let's just move on.

Tried to locate where they are operating from.. Based on an IP trace, the scammers are operating out of some residence in British Columbia, Canada. I think I'll need to probably hire some private investigators to locate them and bring them to justice!

Herakles, have you got any news about these people and was you able to track them down?
