FTC Cracks down on Illegal “X-rated” Spam

From: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2005/07/alrsweep.shtm

In a crackdown on operations that illegally expose unwitting consumers to
graphic sexual content, the Federal Trade Commission has charged seven companies
with violating federal laws requiring warning labels on e-mail that contains
sexually-explicit content. U.S. District Court suits filed against three
operations seek civil penalties and a permanent bar on the illegal marketing.
Settlements with four other operations have imposed $1.159 million in civil
penalties. The settlements bar the illegal marketing practices in the future and
require that the defendants monitor their affiliates to ensure they are not
violating the law.

The settlements bar future violations of the CAN-SPAM Act and the Adult Labeling Rule. They also require that the defendants closely monitor the practices of their affiliate marketers to insure that they are not violating the law. ... Pure Marketing Solutions, LLC, a Florida company, and Internet Matrix Technology, a corporation based in Louisiana, will together pay $50,000. The settlements contain record-keeping provisions to allow the FTC to monitor the defendants’ compliance with the orders.

The complaint: http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/0523045/050720comp0523045.pdf

The stipulated judgement: http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/0523045/050720stip0523045.pdf

This is the PureCash.com death-blow.

In the judgement is this bit:

A big link to SPAM

From http://www.usdoj.gov/opa/pr/2007/June/07_crm_453.html

The jury convicted, Jeffrey A. Kilbride, 41, of Venice, Calif., and James
R. Schaffer, 41, of Paradise Valley, Ariz., on eight counts arising out of the
international pornographic spamming business they organized and ran in 2004. The
trial, which began on June 5, 2007, was the first to include charges under the
Controlling the Assault of Non-solicited Pornography and Marketing (CAN-SPAM)
Act of 2003. The law created by the CAN-SPAM Act was designed to crack down on
the transmission of pornography in commercial bulk unsolicited electronic mail
messages.

And from http://www.informationweek.com/news/management/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=202402908

Jeffrey A. Kilbride, 41, of Venice, Calif., and James R. Schaffer, 41, of
Paradise Valley, Ariz., had been sentenced to 72 months and 63 months in prison,
respectively, for running an international pornographic spam ring that took in
more than $1 million.

Kilbride and Schaffer were fined $100,000, ordered to pay $77,500 to AOL,
and will forfeit more than $1.1 million in illegal proceeds from their spam
operation.

So, where's the connection? Well, let's have a look at a little company called "Modern Internet Ventures, LLC" based in Louisiana. It was created in 2002 and it's still active according to the corporations database. It's members are Jeff Kilbride, Jim Schaffer (listed as JLM Media which connects to Jim ofcourse) and Michael Gardner. And the Registered agent is Sigmund J Solares.

Connection to convicted spammers? Check. That is what you are getting if you deal with Intercosmos, Directnic, Parked.com, The Producers, Modern Domainer, etc....

Dell Inc. v. Sigmund J. Solares

http://www.newmanlaw.com/download/directnic.com/

Dell Inc v. Sigmund J Solares; Intercosmos Media Group, Inc d/b/a Directnic.com; Domain Contender LLC; Alternative Identity, Inc f/k/a NOLDC, Inc; and Zipa LLC

Yes a case against Sig and some of his companies for cybersquatting.

I truely LOVE this part:
"Defendants have attempted to conceal their involvement in this scheme by acting under fictitious names, including "Kenyatech," Kentech, Inc.," "Kentech Co Ltd.," "Spiral Matrix," "Titan Net," "Orion Web," "Domain Master," "Helios Lab," "Panda Ventures," and "Domain Purchase" (collectively, "Kenyatech Monikers")."

It's a long read through it all but it's worth it. I'll even give away the ending. Sig gets his ass handed to him and settles with Dell. I've heard it was a multimillion dollar settlement.

How long until something like this happens again with Belize Domain Whois Service?

For all those who have emailed me wondering who Belize Domain Whois Service Lt is, these are the guys.

Domainer Mardi Gras

Modern Domainer cordially invites you to the 2009 Domainer Mardi Gras at the Westin Canal Place, in New Orleans Louisiana!

Taking place February 19th through February 21, 2009, Domainer Mardi Gras is a one of kind event that the industry will remember for years to come. Domainer Mardi Gras will be held the weekend before the actual Mardi Gras “Fat Tuesday”. Plenty of city-wide carnival action will be available during the conference, and revelers may want to plan to stick around for a couple of days after the conference to enjoy Fat Tuesday.

Domainer Mardi Gras is opened to all domainers and internet domain name related professionals. Domainer Mardi Gras will blend conference sessions on the hottest industry issues with the flavor and uniqueness of New Orleans’ carnival.

So I've been chatting with Donny Simonton on Facebook for a while before my account was suspended (hmm, I wonder why??) Anyway we were talking about how I have all these links that connect The Producers to Kenyatech and Belize Whois Domain Services. He pleads his innocence as expected and offers another explanation and then claims that I'll never be able to prove it in court. Can I prove it in court? No. But I know the truth. Anyway, then he invites me to Domainer Mardi Gras where he has graciously offered to introduce me to the cyber-squatting owner(s) of Kenyatech. So Donny, are you paying for my entrance to this event as well?

Modern Domainer LLC is owned by:

SOLARS, SIGMUND J 5505 WEST GRAY STREET TAMPA FL 33609 US

AND

THE PRODUCERS, INC. 5505 WEST GRAY STREET TAMPA FL 33609 US

Parked.com will be there. Directnic will be there. I'd be guessing that Donny, Sig, Michael and more than a few of their minions would be attending. So if my invitation is revoked but you happen to go, please ask Sigmund, Donny and/or Michael about Kenyatech and Belize Whois Domain Service. Ask them about Dell Inc v. Intercosmos Media Group and why they settled. Tell them "Those Producers" sent you. They will love it!

Rate Directnic online...

Mark, a frequent visitor to this site, has sent me this in email:

"You should post this, then everyone can post their gripes in an even more public forum"

http://domainnamewire.com/2008/11/24/new-registrars-added-to-registrarjudgecom/

which links to http://registrarjudge.com/


Thanks Mark... so, scammed by those producers recently? :)

Happy Thanksgiving to Those Producers

I hope they have a great holiday!

I received a very interesting message through Facebook (yes, search for "Those Producers"!) from Mark DeShong. He works with Michael Gardner on Vexes Media and a new company HOAX.COM LLC. Anyway, he's not very happy with me. He claims I am a bad parent, bad husband and a bad Christian because of this blog. I tend to disagree. He wants me to delete this blog and then goes on to threaten me. I'm merely providing publicly available information to those interested in one simple blog. It's certainly not worth being threatened over...

Donny Simonton also sent me a message on Facebook: "Who are you?" Hilarious. Talk to Mark.

I noticed that whoever owns the photobucket account that I linked to a few weeks ago added a great video to the selection of pictures. Thanks to whoever it is. Check it out.

Oh and Christmas is fast approaching. Don't forget to send your favorite producer a card/gift:
Michael H. Gardner
Sigmund J. Solares
Noah S. Lieske
Donald Simonton
William Moore
Vernon Decosas
etc.
can all be reached at 5505 West Gray Street, Tampa, FL 33609! (Listed as the Producers head office. Also Parked.com, etc)

Also 650 Poydras Street Suite 1150 New Orleans, LA 70130 (Intercosmos, Directnic, etc.)

But really if you want to be personal, I'd recommend sending a card or a nice gift to home addresses. I won't post these addresses publicly but they are available by email or Facebook! And any Producer reading that doesn't want gifts/cards can let me know and I won't pass on your address.

I had something else to mention but I've forgotten it now. Next time!

Classic old article about Intercosmos...

Squatters Exposed!
by anonymous

I had my domain name stolen by squatters.  Now, before you start
complaining that I should have renewed it if I wanted to keep it, let me
explain.  When your domain expires, it goes into a redemption period where
it can be renewed. In my case, the redemption period was cut short and I
was unable to renew my domain.  My domain was stolen by a group of squatters
who also happen to be spammers, pornographers, and domain registrars.  How this
group became domain registrars is beyond me.

Now, before I get ahead of myself, a little background information and some
detective work:

This is the relevant whois data from my domain:

Sponsoring Registrar:Intercosmos Media Group Inc. (R48-LROR)
Registrant ID:ODN-676871
Registrant Name:Orion Web
Registrant Organization:Orion Web
Registrant Street1:1st Floor Muya House
Registrant Street2:Kenyatta Ave.
Registrant Street3:p. o. box 4276-30100
Registrant City:Eldoret
Registrant State/Province:KE
Registrant Postal Code:30100
Registrant Country:KE
Registrant Phone:+254.0735434737
Registrant Phone Ext.:
Registrant FAX:
Registrant FAX Ext.:
Registrant Email:info@kenyatech.com

The admin and tech contacts are the same as above.

Name Server:NS0.DIRECTNIC.COM
Name Server:NS1.DIRECTNIC.COM

This shows that a company called Orion Web in Kenya, Africa now owns my
domain. Pulling up the web page for my domain shows a page filled with ads,
with a "Click here to buy this domain" button that leads to
www.kenyatech.com, the company that now owns my domain name.  They also own lots
of other domain names. Lots and lots, in the range of 140,000 or more.

Kenyatech claims that they're located in Kenya, Africa.  They also accept
PayPal.  Paypal does not do business with firms located in Kenya.  Using
GeoBytes reports that the ip address for www.kenyatech.com, 209.16.83.2,
is located in Larose, Louisiana.  Looking up the same address in the ARIN
database shows this IP is assigned to I-55 Internet Services in Hammond,
Louisiana.

A little research on the www.kenyatech.com site, browsing through all the
domains, shows a few patterns.  The oldest dated domain I could find
registered to them was in August of 2004.  The most current I could find
was August 23 2005, a week before this writing.  Most are registerd to
kenyatech, but some of the older ones are registered to:

NOLDC, Inc.
838 Camp Street
4th Floor
New Orleans, LA 70130
US
504-523-0360

Some of the domains are registered to Domain Contender, with the majority
being registered through InterCosmos Media Group, DBA directnic.com.
Curious about where they're from?  They're both owned by the same people,
and the address is:

650 Poydras Street
Suite 1150
New Orleans, LA 70130
US
(504) 679-5170

Is it just me, or is there a pattern developing with all these Louisiana
addresses??  The Camp Street address and the Poydras street address are
within blocks of each other.

I filled out a form on www.kenyatech.com offering to buy the domain for $50.
This offer was turned down. They instead suggested that I pay $300 plus a $30
fee, according to the following:

Hello,

NOLDC, Inc. accepts wire, money order or certified or cashiers check
(international checks please add an additional US$50 processing fee) only.

Checks and money orders must be made payable to NOLDC, Inc., and sent to:

Also, be sure to include the domain name that you are purchasing in the
Additional Information Section.)

This links the Camp Street address with the Poydras Street address, by their own
admission.  Now, who owns Intercosmos a.k.a directnic.com, who owns Domain
Contenders, and who owns NOLDC, Inc?  A man by the name of Sigmund Solares.  I
suspect that kenyatech.com is also owned by Sigmund Solares, given all the
evidence provided above.  Sigmund Solares has a history of domain squatting, and
a history of hiding behind non-existant entities for the purpose of hiding his
squatting.  This WIPO arbitration decision clearly outlines this:

Complainant claims that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests
in the disputed domain name. According to Complainant, this conclusion is
suggested by Respondent's name: "Legal Services." Additionally, based on
an investigation conducted by Complainant, Complainant claims that Legal
Services is a fictitious identity adopted for the sole purpose of
registering the disputed domain name. According to the investigation report
there is no business by the name of Legal Services at the address listed in the
.biz Whois database. Further, there is no business by the name of Legal Services
at the address provided in the registration information. The only business
listing found at that address is a business called "Ingrid's Beauty Salon."
Likewise, the telephone number listed in the .biz Whois database is the number
for an individual named "Sigmund Solares" who claims that he is not affiliated
with Respondent. In fact, according to Complainant, Sigmund Solares is a
principal in and primary contact for the Registrar of Respondent's domain name.
Based on the above, Complainant asserts that Respondent has taken active steps
to conceal its true identity and provided false contact details in connection
with its domain name registration. Complainant concludes that the use of false
and misleading contact information suggests that the domain name was registered
for improper purposes.

Complainant also asserts that the fact that its trademark has a strong
reputation and is widely known is further support of Respondent's bad faith.
Finally, Complainant notes that the administrative, billing and technical
contacts for the registration is Joseph Tambert whose e-mail address is
listed as "josephtambert@homeville.com". Complainant states that the
website at  is a pornographic website. Thus, Complainant
claims that a risk exists that Complainant's valuable and well-known
trademark and service mark will be associated with a pornographic site and
will be tarnished as a result.

SOURCE:
http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/decisions/html/2002/dbiz2002-00190.html

Joseph Tambert may be Sigmund's partner.  This is his address:

Joseph Tambert
838 Camp Street
New Orleans

Notice the Camp Street?  Sigmund and Joseph are linked together on the
whois info for fbi.biz, as well as the above arbitration case.  Joseph's
email address, as explained in the above WIPO arbitration quote, links to
a pornographic website.  Sigmund's email, as listed on the whois for
sigmundsolares.com, also points to a porn site.  This group has had IP
addresses blocked for sending spam.  They have a history of domain
squatting.  How the hell did they become domain registrars?

As domain registrars, this gives them access to the whois database.  I
believe that they use that access to aquire a list of domains entering the
expiration period.  They would then be able to flag that domain as being
under their control, allowing them to transfer ownership to the Kenyatech
entity and cutting short the redemption period.

There is also evidence that suggests they abuse the whois database.  The
whois database is used to find information on a domain name, including if
it is available for purchase.  They may have access to what names are
looked up, and if it is available, and there is evidence to suggest that
they register these names for themselves before others have a chance to.

They also have a script on every domain they own, to judge the domain's
popularity.  This script stores its data on a machine owned by
directnic.com.  The more popular sites have to pay more money to buy the
domain back.  I have seen less popular sites go for as little as $50, and
I've seen some offers of a thousand dollars turned down.  The more popular
sites are renewed, and the less popular are allowed to expire.  Being
domain registrars, they might not have had to pay anything to aquire the
144,000+ domains they own.

So, what can you do?  If your domain was snatched, by all means don't
visit it or the kenyatech web site.  Hopefully it will be allowed to
expire.  Contact anyone linking to your website, and have them change the
link.  If you have a popular domain, your only hope may be to go through
arbitration, or sue.  There is a class action lawsuit being organized by
rederon.net.  Complain to ICANN.org, and hopefully we can have their
domain registrar status revoked.  By all means, don't pay them and support
their bad habits!

Donny Simonton

I don't have anything against Donny personally but he is a long time partner with the producers and is now an official Producer... However, IF they have profited from cybersquating, which is an opinion that MANY people have, then Donny is certainly involved.

An interview with Donny from ygrab.com:

I am proud to present everyone with a Donny Simonton of Parked.com for the first interview for the blog. Donny is very nice and curtious and found the time in his busy day to do this for me. So take the time out and visit Parked.com.

1. Could you tell us just a little bit about yourself?

I’ve been working in the domain business for almost 9 years now. 8 years ago I helped start the domain registrar directNIC.com after Yun Ye had picked up one of our domains that we let expire. Today I currently run the day to day operations of Parked.com.

2. When did you first start getting involved in the domaining industry?

In 1996 is when I would say that I first became a Domainer. My fiancé and I lived in New Orleans at the time and we were going to drive to see her family who live about 12 hours away. I decided to take a dictionary of about 80k words and run them against the Internic WHOIS server and see what was available and what wasn’t. I remember there was right at 40k domains available and I printed the whole list on paper to give me something to do on the ride. By the time we got back home a week later I had a list of really good domains that I wanted to register.

3. What was the very first domain you every bought?

In 1996 I registered my first domain, it was fettuccine.com. Then my fiancé and I argued for about three hours on whether the correct spelling was fettuccini or fettuccine. We had two different boxes of pasta in our kitchen cabinet and both were spelled differently. Unfortunately back then renewing a domain was $70, and I didn’t renew 90% of the domains I owned back then.

4. What is a typical day in the life of Donny Simonton?

I wake up around 6am. I check my email for about an hour or so. Try to eat breakfast with my son every morning. Then try to get to work by 8am. Get another 1-2 hours of checking email and other quick projects. Start at the top of my OWL (Ongoing Working List) List, which is basically a list of things that I need to get done, it’s like a to-do list, but you don’t skip anything you always work your way down the list. Check the status on all of the different projects that are going on and what information I will need for people once they are done with different projects. QA anything that is new before it goes on any of the sites. Have meetings with programmers and account managers on a daily basis on how to make things better. Check in on the different message boards. Try to get out of the office by 6pm so I can dinner with my family. At 8pm I start checking email again until around 11pm when I finally go to sleep for the night. Then I start the process again the next day.

5. Best piece of advice for a new domainer or a domainer in general?

Buy domains that mean something to you and something you enjoy. If you are in medical school, why not buy some “medical” domains, I promise you know more about medical domains than I ever would. And especially now, stay away from trademarks. They will only cause you more problems in the future.

6. What, in your opinion, is the best investment in the domain industry right now?

Generic keyword domains. I only stick with .com domains when possible. And you also want to buy something that makes sense to most of the world.

7. Tell us about Parked.com and how it started.

Parked or as we called it parking started for me in 2003. Myself and one of programmers (Baron) took over managing the domain parking for our domain registrar. We decided to spend 2-3 weeks trying to improve the system that another group had created a few years before. Within a month we were generating about 50x more revenue than before and we knew we were on to something exciting. From there we created the basis for all of our different technologies that are used on Parked.com today, like our automated self learning technology and our Domain Magic technology. In 2005 we were finally allowed to make our system available to the outside world, unfortunately Hurricane Katrina decided to hit New Orleans and change our plans. But on May 3, 2006 at the Las Vegas Traffic Conference we launched Parked.com.

8. What are you future plans for the industry?

Help the Domainer make more money. What else is there?

9. Do you have any future projects you would like the domaining world to know about?

Without going into too many details and giving away all of our secrets we want to make sure that the Domainer can create the site that they want to create. Not your normal page that when somebody goes to it they know it’s a domain parking page. Our plan is to make it that when people go to a parked.com page it is unique for that Domainer and if the Domainer wants unique for that domain.

10. Where does your inspiration come from to do things like Parked.com?

It’s fun. It’s challenging. And if you do it right everybody makes good money. One of the projects I worked on for years was a domain registrar, a person came to us, they paid us for a domain, we handed them the domain from the registry. In that case, we made money, the registry made money, but the domain owner didn’t. In domain parking if it’s done right, everybody makes money, so everybody is usually happy.

11. Anything else you would like to say?

Thanks for the opportunity.

Thank you much for doing this for me Donny! Also dont forget to visit Parked.com!

And the beat goes on...

and more on the way unfortunately.

All run by Vexes as I've said before. (check previous posts for details)

I've been asked many times so I'll post it here too, aidsmapper.com, abortiontracker.com, childtrader.com, etc. are not real sites. Well, they are "real" but they are meant to be "shock" sites used to generate income...

Want to contact the guys running these shock sites? Send me an email : thoseproducers [at] gmail

PS: Have I mentioned what can be found at http://www.hcpafl.org before? It's fun to search for certain peoples names on this website. Try it... and there is also: http://pcpao.org/

OK flexo...

give me some advice as to how I canpunch him out for his bs AIDS site, bc
thats sick and illegal and we bothknow it.

Mr. flexo has been emailing me and he's the one who is STILL convinced that I am Michael Gardner... obviously I'm not. Why would I be writing this blog if I was? Anyway, he's finally asked me the direct question above. Well, Mr. flexo, I think the only way to "punch out" Mike / Vexes Media / insulting.com / The Producers / etc is to go to the FBI and see what they have to say. You see, I can give you practically any info you want on the whole setup but you have no chance with The Producers in court. Mike almost became a lawyer himself. His friend and business partner Sigmund Solares IS a lawyer. They have an entire fleet of lawyers on payroll... Sam, David, etc. Mike has only been "punched out" once (that I can think of off the top of my head) and that was when his PureCash.com company got sued out of the porn business. These aidsmapper.com, abortiontracker.com, etc. sites are virtually untouchable using regular methods. That's why I'd say try the FBI.

Now, Mr. flexo (and anyone else!) please, if you have a direct question just ask! thoseproducers [at] gmail . com

Almost forgot to mention a few Vexes sites that I haven't posted before:

OK, back to Sig Solares...

Can anyone tell me what is at 121 Chartres Street in New Orleans? I haven't been to downtown New Orleans for awhile now. Last time I was there I made sure to check out all the interesting spots like 650 Poydras Ste 1150, 838 Camp Street, 337 Baronne Street, 1027 Freidreck in Gretna, etc. (For fun, check out the Camp and Baronne adresses at http://www.opboa.org and do a little digging into the companies that own them and what business occurs there!) EDIT: forgot about 2201 Fern Street as well!

Anyway, Sig has an interest in 121 Chartres Street. According to almighty Google, there is a Daisy Dukes Restaurant and a KFC/Taco Bell. According to Louisiana State Corporate database (http://www400.sos.louisiana.gov/app1/paygate/crpinq.jsp), there are a few other businesses operating there as well. First up is R and S Restaurants, LLC which is a company set up by Sigmund Solares and a Robert M Kagan Jr. Originally I thought it was for the Daisy Dukes, but Robert has his own company setup for that(Daisy Dukes Restaurant, LLC). So it must be the KFC/Taco Bell... Sig runs a KFC/Taco Bell... I wonder if domains are on the menu?

Also run from that location is a company called Various Entities, LLC which surprisingly has no mention of Sig in the company info. It's owners are Robert Kagan and Brenda Arlene Yacher (someone close to Sig who apparently lives in Tampa according to the info... Follow that one and you'll not be surprised who owns her little place there.) Also the registering agent is none other than David A. Vinterella, the top Intercosmos lawyer.

I'm going to Taco Bell next week, ordering a few tacos and I'm asking to talk to Sig. Should be fun!
