Damn those Scams

It always warms my heart to see guys like this put away.

From the Kansas City Star:

Managers of an Iowa telemarketing firm were convicted in federal court Wednesday of conspiring to swindle more than $10 million from almost 50,000 people with poor credit. Jurors concluded that Zachery T. Whitehill, 29, of Sahuarita, Ariz.; Bradley L. Lovstad, 44, of Muscatine, Iowa; and Jaime E. Cook, 30, and Monty E. Wanless, 30, both of Kansas City, promised pre-approved credit cards for a $220 fee, but delivered only card applications. All of the managers worked for Gecko Communications Inc., which had offices in Kansas City, Shawnee and Lawrence. The men were convicted of conspiracy to commit telemarketing wire fraud. Whitehill, Lovstad and Wanless each were convicted of three additional counts of aiding and abetting the crime. Cook was acquitted on the aiding and abetting counts.

Here’s a thought, perhaps not enough scammers are hitting me (knock on wood) enough to have me enraged to the point of constantly posting about them.  Anyone want to contribute their stories or suggestions?  Just let me know and I’ll give you an account.
