About

When I sued a number of junk faxers I discovered penny stocks. I read Steve Kirsch's fascinating research about Tom Heysek and the junk faxers, spammers and scammers.

Some people watch mysteries on TV, I'm watching the players in this market, the SEC's and Steve Kirsch's next moves, it's exciting!

Will the criminals go to prison?

Who wins? How?

Since I'm getting an incredible amount of stock spam, I decided to track some of the companies and especially the people who aggravate me. If/when the SEC and attorneys have a look at them, the documenation will be helpful.

How do you make money?

SEC took bribe from criminals involved in TWTN - AHFI - CNDD fraud - NC AG sues

U.S. charges Quebec man with securities fraud

Peter Brieger, Canwest News Service
Published: Saturday, April 26, 2008

TORONTO - A Montreal penny-stock promoter has been charged in North Carolina with securities fraud for his alleged role in a $23.4-million US pump-and-dump scheme.

State authorities laid conspiracy and money laundering charges this week against Bryan Kos and American David Hagen after a grand jury returned a two-count indictment. None of the allegations has been proven.

The charges come just more than a year after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission imposed fines on the Montrealer and another American colleague, Donald Oehmke, of $650,000 and $1.5-million, respectively, for fraudulently selling shares in public companies. The SEC settlement did not carry an admission of wrongdoing.

****Oehmke is listed in the criminal charges as one of eight unindicted co-conspirators.

In a 29-page indictment, the U.S. attorney in Charlotte, N.C., alleges that Kos and Hagen—who was convicted in 1990 of mail and bankruptcy fraud as well as money laundering—earned $23.4 million by artificially creating demand for shares in virtually worthless companies between 2003 and 2006.

Those companies included BodyScan, Twister, Absolute Health, Concorde, BioHeal and GTX Global. Hagen was GTX’s chief executive, according to the indictment.

Both men and the alleged co-conspirators are alleged to have hidden their ownership in the companies through various offshore entities and marketed the shares via the Internet, unsolicited faxes, press releases and disclosure documents.

Those promotional materials contained “material factual misrepresentations and omissions,” including earnings projections that were known to be “unrealistic and unjustifiable,” statements about company operations that were “false,” and did not disclose that two of the co-conspirators have criminal records, the indictment says.

It blows my mind to see how long they take to press charges.

“The SEC settlement did not carry an admission of wrongdoing.”

The SEC is as guilty as anyone.

The SEC took the money that these criminals stole from investors to settle the charges.

The SEC got its cut like the Mafia, protection money called “fine.” According to the figures in this article they got about 10%.  I suspect some SEC officials got a few bucks on the side.  And the victims got nothing.

The NC AG should go after the officers in those entirely FAKE companies like Absolute Fitness and Twister Networks.

It’s been a long time since I looked at my research at Twister Networks and Absolute Fitness

It was pretty intense for a while, getting involved with all these crooks.

RESTITUTION for the defrauded investors is unlikely.

The SEC is happy it got paid off and I doubt that Oehmke et al were dumb enough to NOT hide the loot.  Thought I’d check the NC complaint to see whether they froze assets.

I couldn’t find a press release or the complaint at the NC AG’s site.

I couldn’t even find a way to search the site.  Here is another article.

Hope for CNDD, AHFI, TWTN, BDYS, SGNJ, BHLL fraud victims

Steve Kirsch announced at the Yahoo group CNDD stock fraud:

Great news. I obtained some key evidence in the mail today that I believe proves beyond any reasonable doubt that Bush Ross is liable for your loss. I believe this evidence is strong enough to take to any attorney to pursue our case against them.

If you would like to recover the money you lost on the stocks promoted by these guys (Kos, Jaynes, Ross, etc.) on the stock fraud page on
junkfax.org, then please fill out this form asap:

Loss Survey

Thanks.

I generally do NOT recommend that you sign up at websites after you lost money because you’re likely to get on a new SUCKER list.  However, you don’t have to worry about that with Steve Kirsch - go ahead, sign up, hope for the best.

I previously posted: Is Bush Ross co-founder Jere Ross (aka Jeremy Ross) a crook?

It sure looks to me like he’s a crook.

WYSK—Wysak Petroleum, Inc. illegal promotions: 555 SPAMS as of right now

As of right now, I have 555 SPAMS for WYSK.  As you can see, the SPAM is effective even though prices are down, some suckers ere buying.  Heavy spam started 3/6/05 with several spams a day and on 4/4 I got 14 spams.

From http://www.wysak.com/

“Wysak Petroleum Inc, advises its shareholders that it has not in the past or otherwise approved spam emails from any “third parties”. Specifically, Wysak confirms that it has not authorized any information that has been used in a recent email spam. The Company is pursing with vigor these third parties and expects to be able to stop the misuse of information by legal action if necessary.”

My form submission at http://www.wysak.com/investor/contacts.php and e-mailed to :

“What is the result of your vigorous investigation?  Who do I sue for the $5,550 owed to me for 555 SPAMS?

What has the SEC done and who is your SEC contact?

Thank you,

Christine Baker

c: Posted at http://pennystock-fraud.info”

Update 5/29/05:

I haven’t received a single spam since the 2 spams on 5/12 - on 5/11 I got 12 spams and on 5/10 I got 18 spams.

Maybe somebody got pissed and had them shut down?  They didn’t respond to my notification.

FRAUD ALERT:  Reynaldos—RYNL (fka Twister Networks TWTN) Mafia intimidation tactics

The long story is at the Twister Networks / Reynaldos Fight Back!!! topic.

In short, some slimebag associated with them called me numerous times and made anoymous legal threats.  Since he wouldn’t identify himself, I posted an excerpt of one of the calls.

Then he was upset because I recorded his call without his permission and posted it for identification.  Some people sure have a lot of nerve!

It’s quite likely that he’s associated with Twister Networks, I had sued them for sending me the pump and dump faxes.

These people operate like the Mafia - I’m beginning to understand why so few people go public with stock fraud info.  Of course that won’t stop me from sending out a press release with a headline such as

“FRAUD ALERT:  Twister Networks—TWTN acquisition of Reynaldos Mexican Food—RYNL—may result in many millions in losses for investors.”

Well, something like that.  I’ll attach some TWTN charts, the SEC suit, etc.

I don’t understand why the SEC lets them get away with it.

I’ve received several e-mails from readers asking for additional info and help - I already posted what I know and I’m doing some more research on TWTN.

Please sign up for the Yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cnddStockFraud/ and of course I’ll post future news here.

I expect class actions to be filed if there are any assets.

TWTN—Twister Networks, Inc. turns into—RYNL - Reynaldos Mexican Food Company, Inc.

VOIP turns into enchilada

I posted my research at the Fight Back!!! Forum

They changed the symbol and name on 3/5/05, but still list the http://www.twisternetworks.com site.

I did a google for Reynaldos Mexican Food and there is a real company in California at http://reynaldosmexicanfood.com/

Their website says nothing about Bruce Thomsen and Steven Dao, listed as officers on the NV corporate records for Reynaldos Mexican Food Company. There is of course a possibility that they made enough cash on the pump and dump to buy out the Garcias.

Or maybe it’s another scam like the AHFI fitness centers.

Reynaldos Mexican Food corporation in California is suspended. - that’s the Garcias’ company.  Maybe they ran into tax trouble and Dao and Thomson explained to them how a quick pump and dump will solve their financial problems.

On 1/7/05, Thomsen REFUSED my mailing with the summons and complaint, despite the fact that he is listed as registered agent for Twister Networks with the California Secretary of State.

How can the president of a company refuse service when he is named as registered agent? 

Note: Thomsen is still the registered agent for Twister Networks - the Cal. corporation, but the address changed to Irvine, CA.

RYNL had a 40 for 1 split and closed at .60 on Friday. Not exactly heavy trading, but who in their right mind would buy those shares?

1.05 1000 12:42:22
1.00 1000 12:42:05
0.95 2722 12:39:42

Who are these people and why are they buying RYNL?

There must be a whole bunch of default judgments against Twister, but I’m now considering spending the $$$ to serve Dao and Thomsen personally, just to find out what the heck is going on.

The full story including my correspondence with their attorney Michael Spadaccini

CTTG—Claremont Tech—“product owner” complaint

I received this complaint today:

“Hello from:cros

why is cttge in here listed as a scam i own the product i
know the company i think your site has done the company great harm and you
should be sued. in all your listings i havent seen anything justifying cttge
as a scam in anyway.  you paniced investors i know a few investors who lost
thousands while vacationing to come back to see their accounts at close to
nill. whos christine a bimbo with a closed mind to good technology sheesh

Sent at: 02 06 2005 “

Interesting.  I’m a bimbo because I sued CTTG for the illegal junk faxes promoting Claremont Technologies.

My e-mail correspondence with CTTG establishes that they have done NOTHING to stop the illegal promotions.  They have NOT provided me with any information about their investigation, they did not submit a copy of their SEC complaint, they were served on 1/7/05 and they have yet to contact me.

If they answer my complaint, I will of course demand complete disclosure of their “investigation” through discovery.  *A FEW* people made a lot of money through the illegal promotions, *MANY* investors lost.

You may think it’s wrong to alert investors to securities fraud, I think it’s the right thing to do.  If anyone wants to sue me for publishing the truth, there’s no need to incur the cost of serving me - please fax the waiver of service to 571-222-1000.  I’m not hiding and I’m convinced that it is legal to publish the truth.  I gave CTTG the opportunity to settle my claims or provide me with the ID for the responsible parties or at least share the results of their investigation, but they failed to do so.

As of right now there are at least 30 companies that SHOULD be listed here, I’ve been saving the spam and junk faxes, but just haven’t had time to post.

Keeping up with the promos and publishing everything would be a full-time job.  I’m very busy with my suits and I do have to earn a living too.

It would be cool to have current alerts for investors so that they do NOT fall for the illegal promotions, but then again, most don’t do ANY research at all until after they lost their investment.  I’ll never understand how people can be so lazy, gullible, whatever it is that makes them purchase penny stock in response to spam and other illegal promotions.

UPDATE:  Got another reply from cros:

“i apoligise for name calling. what was illegal about the faxes i believe in
the product i use the product if their is a chance that it does work great
brain tumors are not a good thing.i get faxes all the time spaming us crap
its up to the investor to decipher whats good and bad thanks “

Yeah, brain tumor is not a good thing.  There’ve been major problems with cell phones and kids.  And that’s why it’s so important not to fall for a phony product.  If it worked, every cell phone company would use it.

And I agree that it’s up to the investor to decipher what’s good and bad - I created this site to assist with the deciphering.

What’s illegal abouf faxes? Well, I just yesterday posted this wonderful Court order - the judge explains it MUCH better than I could.

TWTN—Twister Networks, Inc. Nevada corporation “in DEFAULT”

Oh well ... that was to be expected.

Apparently they’re facing lots of lawsuits.

TWTN—Twister Networks, Inc. president Bruce Thomsen refused summons and complaint

My e-mail to TWTN and their attorney Michael Spadaccini:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I updated my postings at http://fight-back.us/forum/index.php?showtopic=223 and TWTN is also listed at http://pennystock-fraud.info and http://junkfaxsuit.info/

Please advise if there’s anything I’m misunderstanding, especially with regards to Mr. Thomsen’s refusal of my certified mailing.

I plan to send out a press release similar to “Mortgage Banker Dana Capital Group Named in Junk Fax Lawsuit”
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/1/prwebxml195723.php (accessed at PRweb over 72,000 times and reposted at many financial websites)

I also hope to soon find the time to submit my complaint to the SEC.  Therefore, it is obviously very important that you advise of any inaccuracies in my postings.

Sincerely,

Christine Baker

--------------------------------------

Obviously, if I owned any TWTN shares, I’d be selling ASAP - if I owned enough to cover the trading fee.

Do you want to own shares in a company likely to be sued by numerous individuals and possibly the SEC?

AHFI, TWTN, CNDD, BDYS, SGNJ scam - possible legal action

If you are an investor who lost money on AHFI, TWTN, CNDD, BDYS, SGNJ, please sign up for the Yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cnddStockFraud/

Steve Kirsch has done a tremenous amout of work, read his fascinating research about Tom Heysek and the junk faxers, spammers and scammers at How Bryan Kos, Tom Heysek, Jeremy Jaynes rip people off for over $100 million without getting caught

Maybe the title of this page will be changed to reflect some prison terms - although it rarely happens that criminal charges are brought against the crooks.

At the Yahoo group you can read updates and if you’re in California and you lost money, you can contact Steve Kirsch.  Please don’t ask me for info - all I know is what’s posted. 

I can tell you that the TWTN president Bruce Thomsen refused service by certified mail.  He’s a crook and they know what’s up.  Notably, he is also the registered agent for Twister Networks.  I actually sent two separate mailings - one for him and one for the corporation, but the other mailing was signed by another person on1/7/05.  That’s despite the $3.50 I paid for restricted delivery.  Have to get some legal advice on what to do next.  I doubt they’ll answer.

Crooks.

Darrel Uselton—UACP: Notice of publication and demand for $1,130 for SPAM

From http://protrading.com/about.html

“… Mr. Uselton is currently the founder, Chairman and CEO of Land Investors of America, Inc., a publicly-held LAND investment company (OTCPK: “LIVA").  (See: LandInvestorsOfAmerica). In 1999, Mr. Uselton founded unHatched.com, Inc., a technology incubator, which ultimately became uAuthorize Corporation, a publicly-held internet holding company (OTCPK: “UACP") that currently operates in excess of 30 ecommerce websites, for which he also serves as Chairman & CEO.  (See: uAuthorize).. Mr. Uselton has further owned, operated, funded, or advised hundreds of other businesses in a variety of industries throughout the past 15 years. ...”

My e-mail to Darrel Uselton:

1/13/05

Dear Mr. Uselton:

You caught my attention due to the many spams I received for UACP and I posted my observations at http://pennystock-fraud.info/news.php/stock/symbol/UACP/

As of right now, I have received 113 spams for UACP and I hereby request payment of my statutory damages of $1,130 for violations of the AZ Commercial Electronic Mail statues.

While the CAN Spam Act preempts state spam laws, it specifically does NOT preempt claims relating to false and deceptive spam. 

The charts prove that the promises in the UACP spam were entirely false.

I believe that you are a crook.  Please review my postings and should you disagree with my assessment of your operations, please notify me in writing.

To gain a better understanding of my motivation and lawsuits, please review my related press releases:

12/29/04: Mortgage Banker Dana Capital Group Named in Junk Fax Lawsuit
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/12/prweb192051.php

10/10/04:  Consumer Sues Ameriquest Mortgage Company for Spamming, False Promises, Misrepresentation and Incompetence
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/9/prweb156653.php

To settle my claims or if you feel that you are not responsible for the illegal UACP promotions, please contact me by Monday, 1/17/05, as I will take legal action against you and/or your companies.

Sincerely,

Christine Baker

c: posted at http://pennystock-fraud.info/

----------------------------------------------------------

Mr. Uselton’s reply:

---------------------------------

Ms. Baker,

First of all, we do not succumb to extortion, and are furthermore NOT responsible for the emails being sent.  We are working diligently to discover who in fact are sending these illegal emails as we do not, and never have condoned such activity.  We have a large shareholder base, and it is our belief at this point, that a substantial shareholder hired an Investor Relations firm who has in turn utilized illegal spamming activities without our prior knowledge.  We have, and have had for some time, a strict anti-spam policy at uAuthorize Corp. (see: http://www.uauthorize.com/spam.htm) and are actively conducting an investigation to cause an immediate cease and desist order against all such activity and parties conducting such activities

Our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience that whoever out there has caused, but please do not threaten us without the facts and demand money, as extortion is certainly more illegal than anything you have wrongly accused us of.

Sincerely,

Darrel Uselton

--------------------------------------

And my response:

1/14/05

Dear Mr. Uselton:

1) Please explain which part of my e-mail constitutes extortion.  I have a legal claim, I believe that you’re a crook, as detailed at my websites, and I have reason to believe that you or one of your companies sent out or ordered the spam.

2) Who are the shareholder and the “Investor Relations� firm who you belief to be responsible for the spam?

3) Please provide me with a copy of your complaint with the SEC about the illegal promotions.

It is intolerable that the SEC has done nothing to stop the illegal promotions, you must be outraged!  I will forward a copy of your complaint to the SEC and inquire about the status of their investigation.  Please fax to 571-222-1000 ASAP.

Sincerely,

Christine Baker

-----------------------------------------

1/15/05:  I have not received a response from Mr. Uselton.

Could it be that he didn’t file a complaint with the SEC?

Could it be that there is no investigation by Uselton, that there is no *other shareholder* responsible for the SPAM?

UACP - Uauthorize Inc. - SPAMMER gone public!  ProTrading.com - WarrierCapital.com

They have no fear. 

Mike contacted me because his domain planetmike.com was used as return address in the spam and he received thousands of bounced emails.

This happened to me once, my webhost shut down my e-mail and I had to move to a VPS because hundreds of thousands of returned mails were bringing down the server - never a good thing but really bad on a shared server.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time and money to find out who the spammer was.  Since I depend on email for my business, my life was hell for several months until they finally quit using my domain.

http://www.planetmike.com/spammers/uauthorize.com/ has some info with Mike’s research.

Uauthorize Corporation owns Protrading.com, interestingly, this domain was created in 1998.  http://protrading.com/ advertises “Public Shells”.

Of course http://www.publicshellmerger.com/ is also a uAuthorize domain.

So is http://warriorcapital.com/

“Warrior Capital, LLC is private investment firm headquartered in Houston that is primarily engaged in a continuous investment program of acquiring private companies and/or taking companies public, and secondarily on providing trading management (see: http://www.protrading.com/) for small to mid-size public companies and companies seeking to go public. ...”
