Funding of pissedaboutgettingscammed.blogspot.com site

  

We have something to confess. This is our first post in five years. This is something that may be hard to trust/believe! It will upset some of our old contacts. We are sure that this will cause a stir in scamming industry. We tell the story anyway. Target here is to keep up the fighting spirit against boiler room scams/frauds. 

The blog pissedaboutgettingscammed.blogspot.com and a post about Hoshizaki Equities became quite popular in 2016. The blog was started by a private person, Antti. He was having Google advertisement on certain financial company names, which were easily spotted on various free press release sites. He got many email messages from "clients" of these companies. Almost every time he concluded that the company was a scam company. He got some additional info from victims "ie. clients", which lead him to new sources of info / Google ads keywords. Gradually there few other fellows doing same studies. There was a positive flow! 

Initially this was done just for fun (out of anger, since these guys were calling middle of the day asking money on fraudulent basis) and on Antti's own expenses. At some point someone suggested a Paypal donate link to the blog site. Well, donations were not much. It was 6 months from the start of the project, and Antti got a suspicious message, which was offering us "more in depth knowledge of the rogue companies", and also some donations. It was a easy deal, since Antti had spent almost 1000€ his own money to the project (and he was just about to quit!).

Deal was that Antti gets Bitcoins worth of 2500€ every month, and in case if some company name in the blog was not satisfied by the donor the name was removed from the blog&adlist.

Believe or not, the deal was valid for 5 years 1 months! Basically we have received "illegal" money worth of 152500€ in past 5 years. Taking account of rise of Bitcoin, this became a huge donation, totaling more than 60 Bitcoins. 

We have shared the bitcoins (cover our losses in fraudulent business), sometimes donated some Bitcoins to some other victims for exchange of info. We don't consider ourselves much of a crooks. One our contact hired a private investigator by using our donations. Unfortunately, Private Investigation project was not successful. 

We have spent about 2500€/year to google advertisements. This is a very small investment compared to our incomes. We have donated to archive.org since it is one of the best tools in our tasks. We have also bought some whois database data.

At some point of time Google noted that the blog does not make sense. A private person (Antti) is funding a site, which "does not have enough original content".  The blog has too many links to other sites etc?!.. This was fairly upsetting situation, but we decided to start advertising investmenthoax.com site.

List is not chronological, but Mizuho was the first name to be erased. Events lead to the deal makes us fairly confident that the donor is "Nicholas Carter". His voice sample is here
We have been following the blog visitors fairly active. We suspect that "Nicholas" lives/has been living in Zurich, Switzerland. Other sources of info state that this gang is from Kuala Lumpur/Malaysia. It was actually first suspicious clicks to the blog from Malaysia when it started November 2015

June 2021 we got an email from our donor contact

Just to let you know, we've ceased operations permanently so we're obviously no longer requiring any of your services. Thanks for the cooperation

We have hard time to believe that Nicholas has resigned from his job.


We will continue advertising rogue company names... We will cause still some stir in the scamming business..
We are sure that this post will raise number of questions to our inbox. We think that it's not our duty to answer to all "how do I get my money back" questions. We suggest to follow www.investment-scam-asia.com site, and join the group. We are not members of group behind the site, but they seem to be doing a better job than us. They are chasing the same gang. 

We apologize if someone feels betrayed or has lost money because of our actions. We have kind of assisted Nicholas & his colleagues scams. On the other hand, boiler room industry as a whole may have taken some bigger hits. Also, Antti's blog would have been lost in cyberspace in summer 2016 if such funding deal was not made. Birth of investmenthoax.com (nor investment-scam-asia.com!?) might not ever taken place.   

Certainly we are still open to new funding deals.

Most of these names were know to us, and they WERE advertised by us. Lifespan of these companies must have been shorter than it used to be before our greedy deal. Some names are found in investmenthoax.com. Many are not, since victims do not bother to contact us (as such it is understandable, do not deal with anon services!). We cannot list all of the suspicious keywords we have found since there are about 10000 of them. We study the company more detail only when we get a email complaint. Otherwise we might get in legal trouble ourselves.
