Nicholas & Andrea Wells New Accomplace
Nicholas and Andrea Wells would like you to believe they have an awesome apartment in New York City or now Houston for rent. In addition their "representative's" name has changed three times in the past three weeks. They claim Jason Stern or now Simon Baker has been suddenly taken ill in Chicago of all places and cannot show the apartment that is for rent.
Of course Nicholas and Andrea Wells live in the UK and have multiple children so they cannot show the apartment themselves. Instead of hiring a rental agency they want their victim to wire them a deposit via Western Union (a scam artists best friend) in return for a set of keys to the place. These people are pathetic and we really want to obtain photos of them.

Internet Dating Scam Featuring Emmanuel Perry & John Freider
Exposed con man Emmanuel Perry has changed his tactics as of late. He once trolled CL in an attempt to cheat money out of people, however since being featured here, he has moved on to internet dating. First a person named John Freider contacts women on a singles dating site. He poses as a businessman in China and after a while attempts to send his victims fake checks. The checks are from Emmanuel Perry and eventually the victim is asked to wire him a portion of the money.
This tactic is known as a Nigerian 419 scam, whereby a scam artist sends a fake check and requests a portion of the amount. The victims bank will eventually catch the fake check, whereby the victim is then required to pay back any of the amount used or risk losing their bank account, and possibly face banking fraud charges if they cannot pay the amount owed.

New Scam Artists: Nick Karson & Jeannie Raleigh
Thank you to the CL user who provided the following information. There are two new scam artists to avoid. They are calling themselves Nick Karson and Jeannie Raleigh. We believe they are attempting to victimize people through the classic overpayment scam. Essentially these people pose as buyers, email the seller and send them a bogus check for more than the selling price. Next the seller is suppose to wire them the extra funds. Of course the seller's bank will eventually catch the fake check and the seller is on the hook for the money.
Do not do business with these people, but you can stall them and waste their time. When considering this route, remember never to send personal information. Be creative because we need more info on these people.

Go Away James Russell
By now it should be aparent that James Russell is nothing more than a petty thief operating on CL. He once claimed to be a Reverend, but shed that identity when we started tracking him. Now old James is a pathetic person forced to change email address on a weekly basis. Since we are not going away, please make sure he does.

USANA Health Sciences Scam?
USANA Health Sciences claims to be the #1 network marketing company. Unfortunately, as a business model, network marketing fails miserably. Even though USANA's products are superior in their respective marketplace, the model for distribution is not conducive for successful business practices. If you want to own or start your own business, be creative and do so with your own merit. Don't join a network marketing company. Pyramid schemes have a negative connotation in today's real business community. Don't lose your validity or respect by becoming part of a corrupt industry.
- 74% of distributers fail within the first 12months
- 70% of compensation went to the top 3% of distributers at the company
- 87% of current distrubers are loosing money
- There is no 75% direct to customer savings on products
"Usana charges associates $40 for a 28-day supply of its top-selling multivitamin,usana essentials, more than double the retail price of other premium vitamins. A premium vitamin from competitor gnc corp., the Ultra mega green multivitamin, sells for $17 for a 28-day supply" The Wall Street Journal

TAG Leadership, T.A.G, Cydcor Scam - Los Angeles
We have another Scam company to report.
TAG Leadership
8999 Overland
Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.
Just wanted to give everyone a 'heads up' on TAG Leadership or 'T.A.G.', etc. Do yourself a favor and do a search for Cydcor-these guys are all the same. They're known to crank through applicants for the sole purpose of recruiting new sales people. Don't walk away people, run! They lead you to believe that you are luck that you made it to the 2nd round of interviews, and then you become part of their cult where you are a total slave, simply put. They ask you to wear "comfortable shoes" for the second interview. Why? Because you will be walking door to door trying to get companies to buy phone service, staples, or whatever it is they try to get you to peddle. Spread the word- TAG, Cydcor, and all of the affiliates participate in questionable to shady business practices. It is a scam so beware.

Xtreme Promotions Scam Atlanta Georgia
The following testomony can be found at ripoffreport.com
Xtreme Promotions
1100 Spring Street
Atlanta, Georgia, 30309
Phone: 404-879-0376
Fax: 404-873-8331
Many of you in the Atlanta area, have no doubt seen the ads for Xtreme Promotions, Inc. on Career Builder, AJC Jobs, Craigs List and Monster. You're subjected to the typical MLM ad jargon, such as 'fast-paced career', 'unlimited income potential', 'need managers', etc.
I consider myself an ambitious, hard-working and intelligent individual. Admittedly, however, I was quite naive when it came to the likes of Xtreme Promotions, Cydcor, and DS-Max. As much as the business was hyped by the ad, and the manager Bruno Alvim (who did my first-round interview), I was extremely surprised to be called back for a 2nd interview.
I should have seen the scam coming, I should have known better. Let's just say that Xtreme Promotions took away 4 and 1/2 months of my life that I will never get back. It's a corporate cult to its truest form. 100% door-to-door sells, 11-12 hour days (six days per week), isolation from your friends and family, an organization centered around the whims of a charismatic leader, ritual chants and phrases, people who are 'negative' are often ostracized, if not fired outright, and a cutthroat competitive we/they mentality.
Bruno Alvim, the manager, I think deep down is a good guy. But he is sucked so far into this Cydcor dream. The only way for him to be more successful is to get others sucked into this stupid dream and so on and so forth. Please, don't waste your time with Xtreme Promotions or any other Cydcor/DS-Max affiliate.
Here is the truth about the 'business' as they call it:
(1) It's 100% Commission at EVERY level. Even managers, consultants, and organizational consultants get paid based on what the Corporate Trainers and Account Executives below them make.
(2) The business isn't 'experiencing rapid growth' or 'always expanding'. For every new office that opens up, another goes under. For every market that opens up, another becomes over-saturated. The 'business' can only sustain so many managers and so many organizational consultants.
(3) As long as you are in the 'business' you will be working 12 hour days, plus Saturdays. It's that simple. You will be going door-to-door, sweating in the summer, freezing in the winter to scam an extra $12 off of an old lady who really doesn't need Unlimited Long Distance.
(4) You will put your own ethics into question. When the choice is between ripping someone off or not paying your rent, you will rip someone off. Trust me. That said, you are NEVER decreasing someone's bill. Anything you sell for the AT&T Campaign that I was on required adding additional charges to someones bill and convincing them that you were lowering it.
(5) If you are in the business, you will not look for another job. It's engineered so that when you go home at night, you have time to do the essentials and go to bed. That's it. I was lucky enough to have knocked on someone's door who had been through the DS-Max system before and he offered me a better job.
(6) You will knock on doors in the worst parts of town. My friend had his car broken into. I have walked up and down the streets of the worst ghettos in Atlanta. Residents of these 'burbs have straight up told me that I was extremely lucky to still be walking and knocking.
The Cydcor 'dream' is filled with countless stories of deception, isolation, prison, divorce, and bankruptcy.Xtreme Promotions isn't the only Cydcor/DS Max affiliate operating in Atlanta. I know of a few others, along with the names of their managers:
Wentworth Marketing, Ed Cunliffe

New Tutor Scam Featuring Crowell Edmond
There is a new tutor scam circulating on CL these days. One of the key scam artists is Crowell Edmonds who desperately needs a tutor for his child (James or insert any name). Mr. Edmonds claims to live in Denmark but is planning to move to the USA due to a job promotion ( or any other factitious scenario).
The scam works by first soliciting unsuspecting women with the prospect of a job. Next a fake check is mailed with the instructions to deposit it ASAP. The would be tutor is then instructed to purchase video games or other electronic devices for the child, and mail them to Denmark, USA, or where ever. After a couple of weeks the tutors banking institution will inform them about the bogus check and now they will be on the hook for the amount used from the fake check.
This scam can be avoided by always dealing locally and never from anyone claiming to live in a foreign country.

Hunting Down Nigerian Scam Artists
We are currently working to hunt down a Nigerian scam artist who frequents Craigslist to cheat and steal from people. Since being featured here, they have actually visited this site on numerous occasions. What they didn't realize is that their multiple visits to clscambuster.blogspot.com were recorded and monitored. As a result we are in the process of triangulating their location in Nigeria.
The photos above are actual images from the registered triangulated area. For a while now we have reported that these scam artists are not bright. They do not understand that any computer can be tracked and traced to its location. Technology is casting an ever widening net and these guys are dumb enough to get snagged in it. Too many people have wasted their time and resources on Nigerian scams and now there is something that can be done.
Nicole Wilson Photos Wanted
We have heard rumor that known scam artist Nicole Wilson has started to use an online dating service as a means to perpetuate lying, cheating, and stealing. Her scam is old and works by contacting men in a desperate attempt to sell an unbelievable sob story. Currently she is stuck in Laos West Africa (a.k.a. Nigeria) and has run afoul with customs. So naturally she has turned to internet dating in an attempt to find a true soul mate who is sympathetic to her situation, and will rescue her from a terrible demise.
In truth this is a classic Nigerian 419 scam. For all we know Nicole Wilson is most likely a dude with a psychological issues, like passing himself off as a woman. Sexy right? Stay away from this confused loser who has no future or prospects. But in the mean time please email us any photos that you may have obtained from this individual. Please email them to: bhemporium@gmail.com

Nicholas & Andrea Wells (Formerly Rachel & Christopher Clark)
A while ago we featured Rachel and Christopher Clark, fake landlords who claim to own an apartment in New York City. At first their apartment was located in Brooklyn, then it changed to various locations around Manhattan, and eventually to a house in Queens. Now that enough pressure has been turned up, they have opted to change their identities in an attempt to perpetuate their crimes.
As of today their new names are Andrea & Nicholas Wells. These people claim to live in the UK and willing provide UK telephone numbers. The red flag in their operation begins with their alleged rental agent, John Stanford who is injured or ill in Chicago and cannot show the apartment. As such they need the potential renter to wire them $200 via Western Union (a scam artists favorite friend) for a key deposit. By now the potential victim should be asking themselves, what kind of landlord would send a total stranger a key to an apartment while living in another country?
This is a classic rental scam and has appeared more and more on the New York City CL listings. Once the money has been wired, you will never hear from these people again, let alone obtaining a set of keys. Please beware of these scum bags and their true intentions.

New Tutor and Nanny Scam
Craigslist can be a great way to find a Nanny or Tutor. However there is a new scam being perpetuated by a person named Michael Kelly. The scam works by preying on unsuspecting women who eventually receive a fraudulent check. The victim is then asked to purchase toys and other items for the child they will eventually take care of. Next the victim mails the toys and items to the scam artist and is never heard from again.
A couple of weeks later the victims bank finds out about the fake check. If the victim used any of the money from the fake check, they are now on the hook and must repay their bank the amount used or face criminal charges.
