"I'm not going to mention any of the websites by name, because they are extremely litigous, and I don't want it to be said I directly accused any particular company of scamming."
I hate this aspect of our legal system.
- exposethescam 17y agoThis comment explains how to find the sites: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1260609 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1260609 Since nobody has posted the site names yet, it's EliteMeeting.com (also run under MeetingMillionaires.com)
- rdl 17y agoI really have no idea why people are so afraid of them. Maybe I'm foolish, but compared to someone like Scientology, I doubt they're terribly effective at harassment. I posted their URL on the original blog in a comment. If they contact me, I'll probably post it widely and contact the EFF. (if they'd like to try some kind of extrajudicial methods, I hope they visit me at my office, behind the 3 machine-gun-armed checkpoints)
- dschobel 17y agoTruth is the ultimate defense for libel suits. Saying "elite dating.com (or whatever site it is) sued a person I know for $800 for contesting the charges of a CC and here is the proof" cannot be libel, plain and simple.
- jarek 17y agoThat's not going to stop these people from filing vexatious lawsuits. Many are not enthusiastic about the idea of defending against a libel suit. Baseless or not, it can still take a lot of time, money, and energy. The woman who paid $800 for peace of mind is the perfect example.
