Spammers get felony sentence
Ellie
There have been various times when I hoped wistfully for work-at-home employment. Once I was all set to sign up for a home medical billing business, with a price about half of it's competitor's. Common sense made me do a web search, typing in the name of the business followed by scam. And low and behold, site after site, listed stories of people, wanting to work at home, forked out their hard earned dollars for this "business opportunity".
Turned out, the sofware included with the purchase price only had a database for one person. in order to generate medical record billing for additional patients, you had to fork out roughly the same amount of money as the other companies were charging.
Remember the Fex-Ex Refund Processor work at home jobs listed on various web-sites and touted in countless emails? The creators of this so-called "opportunity",Jeremy D. Jaynes, 30, and Jessica DeGroot, 28, were convicted today on felony charges. They were sending spam emails to millions of America touting this and other wonderful products and work at home jobs. They were sentenced to 9 years each and fined $7500 for sending untraceable, fraudulent emails.
The convictions today are being touted as the first, sending a message to the online community. There will be others. Maybe next time I see this wonderful, spectacular ad about a in-home job, it will be for real. Sigh...
