I'm not sure where this Fred should be so I'll start here. I don't have much time with so much going on but I need to find out what to do about something I paid for and can't get it because the site has disappeared. How and/or where can I report an internet scam? Thanks for any info!

Bill I'm sorry I don't know but assuming you used a credit card be sure to notify the credit card bank.
I don't have experience with that but I'm sure they'll have a recommended procedure.

If you used a CC then along with disputing the charge I would have the CC company issue you a new card - if it is not already too late. Same if you used a debit card. The next place would be the Federal Trade Commission. They really won't do anything but if they get enough complaints they could go after them for wire fraud. You could try to do a whois on the domain but if they are scammers the info is probably hidden or just plain wrong. Might be worth checking though. http://www.netsol.com/whois If they are using a virtual server company you could file a complaint with them and they may be able to get you more contact info. They may require a police report or some other documents to release it to you though. This may be why they disappeared. They found out the site was a scam and took it down.

In the old days, we looked for information on the website, and turned it over to Network Solutions, and the real network cops. The only problem is, that many of those "websites" were spoofed due to poor security, and the message, or Fred, really came from Mars or Venus! It's Duck Dodgers' fault!
Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!
