HYIP scammers beware***33;

[getbig27]

Investigators have raided 120 sites across the globe to break up online piracy networks that distribute copyrighted music, movies and software, the U.S. Justice Department said on Thursday.

Do you think it can***39;t happen to you, scammers? Don***39;t forget - your account history is PERMANENTLY stored on e-gold***39;s computers. Even if you bounce funds from one account to another, it***39;s all easily traced. Perform a single transaction with an exchange provider, and your identity is known by someone who can be served with a subpoena. You are NOT as anonymous as you think you are***33;

Sooner or later, the US Justice Department WILL take notice of the online HYIP scams. Sooner or later, some of you are going to pay***33;

The problem with this thinking is that the government doesn***39;t really care. Not enough voters. It is that simple.

Fred, I disagree that nobody cares. All it takes is starting the ball rolling by talking to someone in the right position or office in the government. -_-

Have to keep in mind that even if they do care... he who is complaining has little grounds to stand on.

"I Invested into a program paying more than any legit investment in the world... and it didn***39;t pay me"

The government usually has a reply saying that you took a stupid risk, and there is nothing that can be done.

And then they would say, "Erm, did you declare your earnings in your last tax form?"

And you would be like, "Errrr"

Leave the Governments out of this. If you can***39;t regulate and control yourself, you shouldn***39;t be an adult.

Thank you Aceriker. I agree more than 110%.

By the way, HYIP reaches more than just Amerika. And cyberspace does not belong to any one country.

True. But if you follow the link in my original post in this thread, you***39;ll see that the US Justice Department staged raids in several countries besides the US. The same thing could easily happen in the HYIP arena, though I do agree somewhat with Fred that it***39;s pretty much a nonissue right now. But I also agree with brozo - all it takes is one person to get the ball rolling...
