Anyone hear about this D-Bag in the news? I first saw his name in a facebook ad a few days ago which popped up saying something along the lines of "Add me! I'm an internet millionaire" and linked to his facebook profile.

Apparently he dropped $500k for his "Birthday Bash" (where he invited Ludacris, Snooki, Bruce Jenner, etc) and goes around telling people that he is "an entrepreneur/philanthropist who supports local educational programs as wells as projects focusing on disease cures, scientific research, and biotechnology." <-- LOL

Now onto the juicy part:

He ran a company called "Cylon LLC" and had his own mobile offers that revolved around negative billing which bilked consumers into the tune of millions.

Now that he has made his millions, it's time follow the footsteps of Jesse Willms and remove all the bad press from search engines by creating fake sites that say good things about him and by (allegedly) paying ripoffreport.com, to soothe the situation.

He's being investigated by the Texas Attorney General


LOL, those parties sure as hell ain't gonna help you buddy:

Someone should hit the phone companies with an accessory charge. It's ridiculous that they allow negative billing and profit from it, then get to point the finger at the billing company.

It's the same with stolen phones. Someone steals your phone and runs up several thousand in call charges, calling pakistan when you've never called them before? They just sit there and let it happen, raking in the profit. Fraud prevention? Forget it.
 
wait you guys didnt know this is how mobile billing works? welcome to 2001... hes not going to jail... he will settle for a very small amount compared to what he has made

hope none of you promote rebills or use "deceptive" landing pages

from Gawker:
By day, Jason Hope runs a mobile technology company called Jawa, among other "pursuits in industries that leverage technology and computer information systems." On the side, he operates at least ten vanity websites, including JasonHope.com, JasonHopeScience.com, JasonHopeSpace.com, JasonHopeCures.com, JasonHopeAZ.com, JasonRandalHope.com, JasonRHope.com, JasonHope.net, JasonHope.me, and Jason-Hope.com. (Yes, each of those links go to a separate site.)
 
As much as I respect an internet marketer's hustle, don't go around and say you're a fucking philanthropist when the majority of your business revolves around tricking people with rebills and mobile offers (I don't have anything against these offers, but I do against the hypocrisy that Wilms and Hope display).
 
the majority of modern agribusiness revolves around foods with no nutritional value that are essentially sugar water or corn syrup mixed with wheat related shit. if we want to talk about harm to consumer then there are a lot of fortune 500 companies i'd put higher on the list than 10 dollar rebill charges to people who are ignorant about t&c pages. i'm not arguing morals here i'm just saying in the grand scheme of things if i had to take issue with something it certainly wouldn't be mobile rebills or even cpa rebills, it would be the pharmaceutical industry, the food industry, the health industry, and plenty of others. with the margins many fortune 500 companies make, they're essentially bilking consumers out of more money than acai rebills are, the consumers are just okay with it cause it's wrapped up in a pretty brand and has high perceived value. the biggest issue consumers seem to have with rebills is that they did not have knowledge of the continuity charges, as opposed to something like netflix or a mmorpg where they did. but regardless, they'll learn a lesson and next time read the fine print. there are a lot worse things perpetrated on them all the time. and again, i'm not arguing for or against internet scams, just commenting a little about the perspective i personally have. if we want to talk about deception in marketing then we have to examine the main differences between existing burger king commercials and the 'real commercial' which would be a burger king commercial showing a slaughterhouse with hundreds of cows having their throats slit upside down and the meat mixing vats filled with gore being squirted out of machines into patties; we have to compare this and an acai lp, or a bizop lp, or any other type of advertising that involves 'white lies' as to the reality of the product and it's physical creation.

i worked for a cell phone comp back in the day and these things were impossible to cancel. most of the time it was some kid who saw and ad on tv and used dad's phone to subscribe to a joke of the day or a daily horoscope.

bills would be like an extra hundred dollars a month.
