SCAM ALERT - CRS - Central Registration Service is a SCAM - BEWARE

So yesterday I receive this notice in the mail. It looks like a bill; an invoice. But is it? It is printed on some pretty official looking invoice paper, has all kinds of information about my company, phone number, address, and a domain name I own called "wisconsinwireless.net".

The invoice simply states:

"standard registration via hosting service for"

URL: http://www.wisconsinwireless.net
contact address: Maria's Internet Access
referencenumber: ycxa 3796110********* (omitted)

Then there is a total listed in the amount of: 966,00$

I assume they mean, $966.00

There is a number on the invoice: 212-627-8877. So I call it. It rings... and rings... and rings.. Then eventually goes to a busy signal.

I read the invoice more carefully this time. That number, it says, to "forward the completed and signed form via fax to". Ah, so maybe it is a fax number. So I fax a penis length chart to them, using two different fax machines and numbers. Neither fax gets through; both fail.

So the next method of payment is to go online to: http://www.central-registration-service.com/payment

Which I do. I find that you can pay by check. They have listed the following address to send your money to:

CRS Corporation
1133 Broadway, Suite706
New York, NY 10010
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Or you can pay buy bank transfer using their swift code (LOYAVCVX) and Loyal Bank Limited (in Belize City, Central America) account number: 1040003940306. Yeah right.

Or finally you may simply choose to whip out your favorite credit card and simply pay fast and easily on line. Of course the online link takes you to paypal.

Now here is something interesting I did not mention before. The way I got to the payment options when visiting http://www.central-registration-services.com/payment was by entering completely bogus information. When you get to that page it will ask you for a reference number and company name. I put in the "example" they provided, "John Doe" and for a reference number "abcd-123456789". Then I clicked submit.



Instead of returning an error for inputing a reference number that would obviously not exist if this were a legitimate database query, it brought me to another page which asked me for my company name and URL. I entered something like, FUCK YOU for the company name, and "www.central-registration-services.com" as my URL.



When I clicked submit again, it showed me that $966.00 invoice amount, even though I inputed bogus information. When I clicked next it brought me to the payment options page.





So who exactly is this CRS place? Well, looking at their address they listed as being in NYC on Broadway, I was able to find out that the company that actually occupies this suite is:

So I called them up looking for Jame Lansdown and this CRS place. Oh, in case you did not see from above, their number is 212-465-2680. It rings and rings, but then I get a voice mail attendant answering Secure PC Solutions, telling me that they are either busy or it is after hours, please leave a message. I hang up.

Now this CRS place, their domain name anyway, was only registered about a month ago:

Nice how everything is hidden... Yeah, this is a company I am going to give nearly a grand to for my domain name "standard registration via hosting service", as they call it.

Looks like the server they are on belongs to some AMX HOST (http://www.amxhost.com) who claims to have this stellar network and multiple locations around the US. Meanwhile, they are nothing more than a reseller for Liquid Web:

From what I can tell, they are hosted by a company called Liquid Web (www.liquidweb.com) They are one of those ghetto scum web hosts that will hosting anything for nothing...

So if you happen to see one of these notices come in the mail from a CRS please do not send them any money. This is a SCAM. Other tell tail signs that should alert you to this obvious attempt at fraud are the fact that the envelop the invoice comes in is sent from Central America, not NYC where these guys claim to reside. The bank they want you to send money to is located in Central America, not in NYC where they claim to reside. The phone number they provide on the invoice is not valid.

The back of the invoice has a bunch of disclaimers, all of which are written in perfect "ENGRISH"

I highly doubt you will get any service from these guys, even if you do send them money. If they really are doing "Domain Registration", their should be some type of transfer initiation during the payment process. There is none.

I would have put a image of the invoice up, but my damn scanner does not like OSX for some reason... You can thank the fuck tards at Microtek for that. Idiots.

If anyone has more information on thihttp://beta.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifs CRS place and this apparently bogus software company, Secure PC Solutions, please let me know. Or if you are in the area, ie., around the 1100 block of Broadway, stop in at the following address and see if James Lansdown is there:

1133 broadway
suite 706
New York, New York 10010

That or send James and email: james@securepcsolutions.com

How desperate do you have to be to find porn?

Well, apparently a man in South Daytona was so hard up, broke into a home and began watching a porno on their DVD player. What's more, apparently all of this was caught on the home surveillance cameras. He even smoked crack on the porch of the home just prior to breaking in. What's worse is he was watching the porno in the bedroom of two young girls that lived their, while their parents lay sleeping..



Full disgusting story here.

ABBA Museum? It's about time! Mama Mia!

Mama Mia, that's right. Sweden is going to open an ABBA museum.



All I can say is, it is about time! Now I have an excuse to go to Sweden, aside from looking at large boobed blonds!

Peta attacks human Nativity scene

Well, we all know that the PETA folks (people for the ethical treatment of animals) are friggin loony Tunes! Apparently PETA has targeted an Alaskan Church and pastor over the treatment of animals in their church Nativity scene...

Only one problem. There are no real animals in their live Nativity. Only humans. When PETA heard that the http://beta.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifchurch had a "living nativity scene", they assumed animals where in use. So they high tailed (no pun) it up to Alaska to kick some church ass... As we all know, the Nativity was a place where animals where beaten routinely for the Christ Child's amusement.

Someone should start an organization that condones beating the shit out of PETA people. Morons... If you feel so incined as to read this story, here it is.

Shades of Gore and 2000 - Lib asks for recount

After losing by more than 1 million votes , A nutty Libertarian has asked for a recount in a Senate election. Apparently the 1 million vote deficit equated to only winning 13% of the vote, yet this guy wants the votes recounted...

I guess if you use the Gore factor for counting votes, assuming you count the votes enough, eventually I guess you might get the outcome you want... Yeah right.

Backyard Toilet Fence

Apparently some guy decided to use toilets in his back yard to repel golfers, much the way a farmer would use a scarecrow to chase away birds from their crops.



Rick Froebe made a fence out of some old toilets, some old bathtubs and some old water heaters. The idea was to prevent golfers for an adjoining country club from coming onto his yard.

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all in America.. Especially to my Muslim Friends.. May your day be filled with joy and logs of Turkey and Ham!

Gibson no at the Top of the "Frigid" list?

Apparently a site called FilmThreat Online has named Mel Gibson Number 1 among the "least powerful, least inspiring, least intriguing people in all of Tinseltown."

AP Photo

This after some anti-Semitic remarks made during an arrest after Gibson got all liquored up. The site not only gives him top honors but said of his upcoming movie, "Apocalypto" , "who cares."

This is the same site that lists people like Borat (a fictional character) on their list simply because he has "no future".

Michael Richards say the N Word

Apparently Michael Richards, the actor who played the laughable hyper neighbor across the hall on the classic TV sitcom "Seintfeld" reportedly called a couple of black people Niggers at a Los Angeles comedy club.



Apparently the episode was caught on tape as Richards launched into a violent rage, uncharacteristic of TV's Kramer. Here is a link to the crazy video.

Do be advised, it is a bit graphic...

We all live in a Cocaine Submarine

I get a kick out of the ingenuity here. Apparently 3 people were busted recently when each of their breathing pipes were spotted skimming the surface of the water. Apparently those breathing pipes were attached to a submarine made of wood and fiberglass, just 6 feet below the water's surface. Inside with the three men was 3 tons of cocaine. Looks like they were snorting air till they go caught that is.

Rangel wants the draft

I knew this guy has a screw loose somewhere, but I was just not certain of just how severe his loose screw was. Dumbocratic Rep. Charles Rangel wants to bring back the draft. Rangel claims bringing back the draft would deter politicians from launching wars.

Hey America... You put the dumbocrats back in power. Here's what you get. A loony liberal that wants to bring back the draft. No only does he want the draft re-instated, but he wants people as old as 44 to be eligible for it.

Way to go on election day America.

St. Pierre smacks down Hughes at the UFC 65

What a fight this was! Much better than that Shamrock Sham!

At just 23, mixed martial arts fighter St. Pierre from Montreal removed champion Matt Hughes from his glory. St. PierreUFC now holds Hughes' 170-pound title. Well worth my split on the $40 fight. Lots of good fights tonight actually...

As is always with UFC matches we got a group of friends together at the neighbors house and sucked down Corona's ate snacks and viewed UFC at it's finest in High Definition on 61 inches of TV real estate!

Tito Ortiz's selling out to the Man, or you and me, or anyone that can afford it!

It looks as though Tito Ortiz has decided to sell marketing/advertising space on this shorts, T-shirt and rob.

Apparently he has several logo placement opportunities available. What the hell, why not be a sell out. Hey, its not like he's banging a porn star or anything... Jenna Jameson?

Anyway, I should buy a spot on there for my Web Hosting Company! What would I put on there though?

Go Speed Racer Go

I always loved "Speed Racer" as a kid growing up. even have a nice tin sign of Speed in my custom garage. Here is a kick ass video of some kids mocking the "Speed Racer" theme song. It's pretty funny, and quite creative.

Gerald Ford to beat our Reagan!

If former President Gerald Ford can keep his crusty old near death feeble body in one piece he will have lived longer they former President Ronald Reagan. This Sunday will make Ford 93 years, 121 days old and officially older than President Reagan was before he passed back in June of 2004 at 93 years and 120 days old.

Only in Wisconsin - Bug up your dress

You have to love and respect the ingenuity of this guy. Apparently a man in Waukesha, Wisconsin was approaching woment and claiming they had a tick on them to which he would assert his assistance by asking them to disrobe so he could safely remove the nasty little critter.

"He was like 'It's right there.' That's when he took my pants, pulled them down, pulled them over, and that's when I jumped and started walking toward the bathroom,"

Just the people I want voting - Grandma Dial 911 to vote

She probably voted democrat the crusty old vacuum bag, social security sucking senior citizen. At 95 some granny decided to call 911 to get a lift to the polls when her ride fell through.

"To call 911 and ask for help to vote really says a lot," said Deborah M. Olivieri, election services director. "It meant a lot to everyone in this office; it made us feel what we do is worthwhile."

County Commissioner Judith L. Schwank immediately picked up Urban, and Urban walked to the voting booth at Millmont Elementary School on her arm.

"All my life I voted," said Urban, a Democrat, who cast her first ballot in the 1930s. "You need to vote to be a good citizen."

See, I knew it.. A democrat... Great, just what we need, our tax dollars giving these social security suckers rides to the polls.. Cops should stick to beating up innocent law breakers and eating doughnuts.

Grannys Story

Is Borat really Borat? You decide!

Some fruit cake named Mahir Cagri from Turkey (another one of those Axis of Evil countries) is claiming that he is the real Borat. He is convinced that Sacha Baron Cohen, who plays Borat in the movie "Borat" used his likeness to gain his recent celebrity.

From this story:

Mahir Cagri, 44, became a cyber celebrity after posting a personal Web site in 1999, featuring unintentionally amusing photos of himself playing pingpong or the accordion and sunbathing in a skimpy bathing suit. Fans were captivated by his broken English and hilarious invitation to women: "Who is want to come TURKEY I can invitate ... She can stay my home." (His site may be down due to high traffic.)

"The world knows he is copying Mahir," Cagri told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from his hometown of Izmir on Monday, minutes before he was to board a plane for Istanbul to appear on a talk show.

You decide:

Get a kidney, gain a new personality

That's just what happened to Ian Gammons, 51 of Briton, England. His wife of 31 years, Linda gave Ian a kidney. Now this once rugby loving man of the house now indulges in shopping, cooking and gardening. Why? He claims that he has taken on his wife's personality as a result of receiving her kidney.

I'd hate to see what would happen if Ian gave his wife a nut.

MySpace Sex Offender Photo

Meet Christian Paul Dutton, sex offender and avid MySpace user. Christian thought it would be a good idea to use his sex offender picture in his MySpace profile. What a winner



I guess his MySpace name was Bubba... Looks to me like he's gonna find a "bubba" raping him before long if he keeps this crap up.

Dolphins now have legs?

In a never end pursuit of deceit and delusion researchers assert that Dolphin's fins could be the remains of legs. After catching a four finned Dolphin scientists and researchers alike pin this obvious mutation's extra appendages on the belief in evolution. Keep reaching... How do we know that penis's and vagina's are not the remnants of prehistoric brains? Come on...

Naked man arrested for concealed weapon

You just have to think about that for a moment.... Just where the hell was he concealing that weapon if his body was devoid of clothing?

Well if you guessed "up his ass", you're correct. Apparently police happened upon the man lying naked on a tree stump masturbating beside a nature path. When found he warned police he had a "tool" in his rectum.

Once warned of the location of the "tool", police drew their weapons and called fire and rescue. Firefighters soon removed a 6 inch metal awl wrapped in black electrical tape from the perps asshole.

You've got to be kidding me...

Penis Flower?

Apparently Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens boasts the worlds larges penis-shaped flower. One problem though, it's one stinky, smelly penis of a flower.

Known as the titan arum, it is a native of Indonesia. It's botanical name, Amorphophallus titanum means, "very large, deformed penis", hence it's name as the penis flower.

Personally I think it looks nothing like a penis, at least no mine... It looks more like a crinkled up old brown paper bag.

ESPN Announcer fired for hugging intern

Man, between, page's and interns, there's a lot to be lost. Political careers, even multi-million dollar sports announcer contracts.

Harold Reynolds was fired for hugging an intern that he apparently had just had dinner with. He was apparently bounced in connection with some type of "sexual harassment."

Reynolds is now suing ESPN for more than 5 million dollars he feels he would have made under his new 6 year contract he had recently signed. Man, you can't make a comment, smack and ass, grab a boob, or otherwise cop a feel without fear of either criminal prosecution or loss of your job. What gives?

Bob Barker, "come on down" You're RETIRED!

Looks like Bob Barker is retiring after nearly 50 years on TV. He spent the last 35 of those years as host of the popular TV game show "The Price is Right". At 83, Bob decided to retire "while I'm still young", he joked! He will officially retire in June of 2007 marking exactly 50 years on television.
