Dear Sir,
Subject to my previous report of fraud emailing posing as Spybot Spyware.
This fraud spyware site has contacted me again today, offering a service at a fixed cost.
I fell for this 2 weeks ago and it cost me $80-00 usd for my ignorance, which may be non recoverable.
Spybot anti spyware is a donation only web site and have no set fees.
Please warn other internet users of this danger which is still at hand.
The web page looks legitimate but I can assure you it is a fraud.
I hope something can be done to place these criminals behind prison bars.
I have lost complete faith in the internet system, and shall in future make direct contact only.
Yours faithfully,
Derek Marvelley

I WAS APPROACHED BY THIS COMPANY TO UPGRADE MY SPYBOT PROGRAM
BEFORE I FINISHED MY APPLICATION I GREW SUSPICIOUS OF THE WEB ADDRESS MBCONTACT.COM
AND CANCELED MY APPLICATION DUE TO IT BEING A SPAM SITE.
HOWEVER THEY STILL DREW FROM MY CREDIT CARD THE SUM OF $80-00AU
I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MY CREDIT CARD AUTHORITY AND MADE A FORMAL COMPLAINT.
I AM SURE YOU HAVE HEARD OF THESE PEOPLE BEFORE AND PROBABLY NOT THE LAST TIME.
I HOPE YOU CATCH UP WITH THESE CRIMINALS AND PUT THEM WHERE THEY CAN DO NO HARM.
I AM A PENSIONER WITH LIMITED MEANS SO THIS IS A BLOW TO MY CONFIDENCE IN THE INTERNET.

REGARDS

DEREK MARVELLEY

tried to order PDF 2009 on-line. offer stated 3yr vip acc & support only12.97 and then another offer at half that price but my credit card was billed 48.38, I immediately asked them to remove

On Friday September 26, 2008 I was attempting to download the free version of OpenOffice.org when they asked for a donation of $11.99 USD. Somehow I was redirected to the MBcontact.com web page and my account was actually charged $35.01 USD. I received a receipt from them stating it was for a 3 year VIP membership. I was also charged a $0.70 international fee. This caused my account to over-drawn. What recourse do I have in this matter?

I wish to report the activities of mbcontact, and their quasi-download sites of legitimate software. Last night I fell for their ‘2008search-destroy’ scam on Spybot software, costing me £17.91 GBP. Apparently they are busy using everything from Google Earth, Grisoft AVG, Spybot and many other legitimate company logos to hook people in. My bank has absolutely no interest in pursuing this matter as a fraud, and neither can the UK police do much either. I have reported this to the FBI site IC3, who will action this report of fraud.
Whilst no company seems too worried about their identity being misused, mbcontact.com will continue to generate millions of dollars from their reputations. I am very interested in what they are doing as a victims of this crime in proactively dealing with these scammers. I am intent on taking the following action:
I will purchase the domain name ‘www.mbcontact-fraudsters.com’ with the sole aim of making a website alerting the dangers of this criminal outfit. It will include a bulletin board giving warnings and details of their latest scams. One section will deal with how companies and banks respond to dealing with mbcontacts activities, and what steps (or lack of) they are taking to bring the guilty parties to justice.
The site will strive to identify the people and their home addresses, photos etc. behind this scam. A Paypal account will be set up for people to donate to a fund so that a bounty can be offered on their capture and prosecution. My point is if no organisation will do anything about this situation, then individuals must take control of the internet.
