What's the basis for saying they're "crickets" on such scams? Those shady operators tend to be much smaller and less newsworthy than Facebook, so you don't read about them, but that doesn't mean it's not happening. I interned with the FTC's consumer protection division in Los Angeles during law school. My job was calling up people who had filed Better Business Bureau complaints and helping them to provide affidavits against the companies that scammed them. At the time we were focused on prepaid debit card scams. Have you complained to the FTC about the company with the 1k/yr subscription? Made a BBB complaint? Filed a small claims court suit?
