This is such a great article. I read it and I almost signed up for this company until I got the information and saw how many unanswered questions I had after reading through the information. I was soooo thankful I stayed away from them even after they sent a follow up letter saying if you had any questions you could contact them. I still didn't trust it. Another one to stay away from is Billy Creek Crafts. They also are a scam and offer different craft projects and they send incomplete starter kits and then if you question them too many times they turn it around and make it your fault. Ugh! I am soooo glad they are cracking down of these people.

Article stated "more than 200 businesses nationally", are they going to release a list and if so where do we get one??!! I think we all could use this list! I am glad they are finally taking WAH serious enough to do something to these scammers.

I would like to see that list too. Hopefully as they bring down more of these scammers there will be more articles about it the newspaper. Someone else brought this to my attention when it showed up in their newspaper. I bet I could even add a few to the list for them. LOL

In the article in our paper it stated that the names or at least some of them would be made public when/if charges were brought.
There was also a reference to the IRS becoming involved but they weren't very specific about that issue.

WOW! Cheryl, that is some article. I have heard of some of those companies. I am glad they are cracking down on this but I also feel sorry for all those people who have been taken by them. Scary!

Hey elfinsnow. I lived in Sayre, PA for 10 years. My parents both grew up there. My father just retired from Williams Oil. I know the newspaper sounded familiar.
