Someone on Ripoffreport.com reported that the founders of the site are Jay Edelson, Rafey Balabanian, Kevin Yu. This Kevin has been identified on Crunchbase.com as the Creative Director. As you can see, this gets more confusing and deceptive. Our inclination is that these characters are all SURROGATES.

FTC Moves Against Massive Mobile Cramming Operation That Heaped Millions in Unwanted Charges on Consumers’ Bills
Defendants Pitched ‘Love Tips,’ ‘Fun Facts,’ and Free Justin Bieber Tickets
For Release
December 16, 2013
The Federal Trade Commission is taking action to stop a mobile phone cramming operation that has placed tens of millions of dollars on consumers’ mobile phone bills without their permission. In its complaint, the FTC seeks to shut down the operation and recover money lost by consumers.
The FTC’s complaint charges that Lin Miao and Andrew Bachman, through a number of companies they owned and controlled, pitched “love tips,” “fun facts,” and celebrity gossip alerts sent by text message to consumers, but placed monthly subscription fees for these “services” on consumers’ mobile phone bills without their authorization. The practice, known as mobile cramming, relies on the fact that consumers often don’t closely examine their monthly statements, or many assume that charges are legitimate.
“This case puts another dent in the armor of scammers who use mobile cramming to take advantage of consumers across the country,” said Jessica Rich, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “The FTC will continue working to protect consumers from unwanted third-party charges on their mobile phone bills.”
According to the complaint, consumers allegedly received text messages with random factoids that they dismissed as spam without realizing they had received them through a paid subscription service they did not knowingly buy. The defendants also allegedly used misleading website offers to obtain valid consumer phone numbers that they used to sign up consumers for their services without their knowledge.
In one instance, a website told visitors they had won free Justin Bieber tickets, which they could claim by filling out an online quiz. Part of the process required consumers to enter their phone number, and while consumers didn’t receive the Justin Bieber tickets, their phone numbers were likely signed up for one of the defendants’ paid services.
The charges continued to appear on consumers’ bills until the consumers noticed them and took action to unsubscribe. The charges, typically $9.99 per month, often appeared on consumers’ bills with inscrutable names like “77050IQ12CALL8663611606” and “25184USBFIQMIG” and in many instances, consumers did not notice the variations in the amount of their bills from month to month.
When consumers did notice the charges, the process of getting a refund was often highly cumbersome. In some cases, consumers could reach representatives of the company, who would promise refunds that never arrived. In other cases, consumers were able to get partial refunds from their phone company, but only for a limited number of months – sometimes far less than the length of time they were billed. The number of consumers seeking refunds from their phone companies was as high as 40 percent in some months, and some carriers suspended the defendants from placing charges on consumers’ bills.
The FTC’s complaint alleges that the defendants violated the FTC Act by deceiving consumers, leading them to believe they were obligated to pay for the defendants’ premium text message services. The defendants also violated the FTC Act by unfairly billing consumers for services they did not ask for.
The defendants in the case are Tatto, Inc. (also doing business as WinBigBidLow and Tatto Media); Bullroarer, Inc. (also doing business as Bullroarer Corporation Pty. Ltd.); Shaboom Media, LLC (also doing business as Tatto Media); Bune, LLC; Mobile Media Products, LLC; Chairman Ventures, LLC; Galactic Media, LLC; Virtus Media, LLC; Lin Miao and Andrew Bachman.
The Commission vote authorizing the staff to file the complaint was 4-0. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on Dec. 4, 2013, and a temporary restraining order with an asset freeze was granted against the defendants on Dec. 5, 2013.
NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has “reason to believe” that the law has been or is being violated and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The case will be decided by the court.
The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC’s online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 2,000 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. The FTC’s website provides free information on a variety of consumer topics. Like the FTC on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and subscribe to press releases for the latest FTC news and resources.

Andrew Bachman and Lin Miao
Founder Scambook.com
Built Tatto Media from Babson College dorm room in 2006, sold in April 2011 for $60million USD. Founded Scambook.com, the leading consumer complaint forum on the internet to force deceptive businesses to provide real value to their customers. Founded the Bachman Miao Scholarship fund at Babson College.

Hello,
This year Tatto Media manage to cheat my company out of a very large sum of money, and after being promised my money countless times I was never paid a dime. It wasn’t just me who was cheated out of money, however; for a period of months, nearly all their affiliates had their payments withheld for absolutely no apparent reason, under orders by Lin Miao and Andrew Bachman, Tatto’s founders.
I’ve gathered a lot of very incriminating information concerning Tatto, Lin, and Andy from a variety of sources, outlining illegal and deceptive practices related to things from payment practices all the way to their fake acquisition by Ozura World. If you are owed money from Tatto Media, do not bother trying to contact them for your payment, it’s a lost cause. Do not try to threaten them or take legal action alone, as they have created fake “evidence” apparently showing (fake) illegal placements for affiliates who threatened them, and fabricated other excuses for non-payment. The best way to get your money back is in a group.
Instead, PM me here and I’ll come into contact with you. I am gathering a group of people who have been cheated by Tatto, so we can take legal action as a group and have more power and leverage. They may be able to create false excuses for non-payment for a single affiliate who sues them, but when they have 100 affiliate knocking on their door requesting their money, and inside information detailing the fact that they instructed their employees not to pay their affiliates and instead to lie to them, they’re not going to lie their way out of that one.
Be Great Partners Launches New Incubator/Accelerator
posted on Tuesday, February 26, 2013
It seems like there are almost nearly as many startup incubators and accelerators launching in the Los Angeles area as startups. The newest? Be Great Partners said Monday that it has launched a new technology incubator and accelerator, in the Variety Building at 5900 Wilshire Blvd. Be Great Partners said its flagship company it has been incubating is Scambook, an online service which helps people complain about businesses and help get those issues resolved. The incubator said it was founded by Lin Miao. The incubator/accelerator did not give any details on its acceleration program, how or whether it makes investments, or other details.
The firm’s founder, Lin Miao, also has drawn some controversy in the past—TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington has called Miao’s last company, Tatto Media, a scam, for billing people for products they never receive and using mobile billing text to sign people up for unwanted services.
Be Great Partners’ press contact not reply to requests for comments on the TechCrunch article. Tatto Media was also fined by Washington Attorney General for its “Internet come-ons” and unauthorized text-messaging billing.

Attorney general dumps creator of Internet come-ons
Seattle company to pay $500,000 under new settlement
SEATTLE – After the Washington Attorney General’s Office found an Internet company’s “MyLuvCrush” promotion to be a not-so-sweet nothing designed to prey on hopeful romantics, its creator agreed to dump the ads. Seattle-based Tatto Media, Inc. agreed last November to stop misrepresenting to computer users that someone had a “crush” on them. Instead, the company continued its misleading come-ons. So the state returned to court, securing a new $500,000 settlement and a warning to businesses that attempt similar ploys:
“Tatto Media will pay for its broken hearts and broken promises,” Attorney General Rob McKenna said.
“The lawsuit and $500,000 settlement sends a clear message,” added Senior Counsel Paula Selis, an assistant attorney general who heads up the Consumer Protection High-Tech Unit. “We don’t tolerate businesses that repeatedly flirt with the law.”
The Attorney General’s Office alleged that Tatto Media, which designs advertising promotions for other online companies, violated the November 2008 agreement that prohibits it from misrepresenting to computer users that someone in their local area has a romantic interest in them.
The company will pay $487,272 in civil penalties under a new settlement filed today in King County Superior Court, as well as $12,700 in attorneys’ costs and fees. An additional $250,000 in civil penalties are suspended, provided Tatto Media doesn’t violate the new agreement.
The Attorney General’s Office doesn’t know how many Internet users may have been duped by the company’s advertisements but began investigating after reading negative comments on blogs and discussion sites about a promotion called MyLuvCrush. The promo targeted users of Reunion.com, Facebook and MySpace with an ad resembling an e-mail message sent from a secret admirer. Users who tried to read the message were taken to a Web site where they were instructed to enter a cell phone number and enrolled in a text-messaging horoscope service. A fictitious suitor’s name was then sent to the user’s cell phone.
Selis said the company broke the agreement by running similar promotions on sites such as Facebook, PerfSpot.com and True.com. They included more secret crush ads to promote the horoscope service, as well as bogus e-cards aimed at enticing users to install a “MyFunCards” browser toolbar for sending e-cards.

http://www.pivcorp.com scam / Cocacolacake.com?
Hello! New Poster here. I came here because I was doing some research on an email I got in response to a CraigsList job posting I applied to. Since I’m kind of wary to begin with, I decided to do some research. Yeah, it’s a scam, and every posting on this forum verified it. The email address this guy gave me was Daniel@cocacolacake.com. It’s the same wording as previous posters :
“My name is Daniel Jacobs and I am the hiring manager for our company. I took some time going over your resume and I find everything very impressive and interesting. I then took it upon myself to compare your credentials to those of other applicants, and yours surely stands out the most, and I would say you are a great fit for the position.
That being said, we would like to get you situated in your starting $21/hour position ASAP. We have one of the highest started paying salaries in the city at the moment, and large room for growing. Not to mention that the average employee at our company is employed with us for at least 5 years.
I do have one document to request from you that I had not found in your resume. We require all potential candidates for our company to get a credit report done. You may use your very own credit report agency, or use an accredited one that we have had prior experience with such as FreeCreditReport which can be found here:click here. It’s free and we have had success with them in the past. I do not expect you to e-mail the personal information in your credit report over the internet but we do expect you to bring it with you to the interview. Your score will not affect your chances of being hired, it is just a formality we need to abide by.
After you have that done and printed out, or saved on a USB drive, let me know and we will schedule a meeting within 5 business days, so we can discuss and go over your jobs duties, salary, employee benefits, and other important information. Additionally, I will give you a tour of our offices, and my colleagues.”
Funny – if you try to research Daniel Jacobs, nothing comes up. Also, the website was recently created (like so many others posted on here), and if you go to the domain, it’s “under construction.” Hm! A little shifty, don’t you think?
»whois.domaintools.com/cocacolacake.com
So – thank you, everyone, for posting the previous information. Now that I know this is a definite scam I will no longer be sending out any resumes off of CraigsList posts. These guys are total jags… it’s extremely disappointing, but oh well
Yes, we have a new topic that has been discussing that.
»www.yldcorp.com is a scam
They have the following sites active.
• »yldcorp.com/ aka »www.yldcorp.com/
• »pivcorporation.com/ aka »www.pivcorporation.com/
• »fidsky.com/ aka »www.fidsky.com/
Applied for a position with YLD Corp, got pretty much the same email in response as the ones previously posted, except that I noticed they changed the name of the credit reporting sight with each email and the name of the HR representative is different with each one. It was blatantly obvious from the initial email it was a scam of some sort but I replied just to see what the response would be. No way did I go to the credit reporting sight, just made up a credit score. When you look at the YLD website it’s obvious they’re not real. Everything on the website reads in a very odd manner, there are grammatical errors that NO company would make on their website!
Also, the initial email I sent them had my resume pasted in it (which has my phone number, address, etc)…what are the odds my personal information is now in danger?! I have a Master’s degree for crying out loud, I just want a job, stupid scammers!!!

Here’s my email from today from them –
need to talk to you cis12,
We appreciate you e-mailing your resume to us. The responsibilities of employment are very clear: you will be answering the phone, work on scheduling all company meetings, and performing company errands such as purchasing office supplies, and we will provide a corporate car. When you are errand running, you always are given one of our company credit card(s) to make all corporate purchases, et cetera.
I get the feeling that you are all around more accomplished than other people I have received e-mails sent from today, about the position. We would like to take on our next step with you, but before I am able to set up an interview, YLD will require you to obtain your credit scored. YLD very much prefers that you use »freecreditreportrus.com to obtain your check as they are running a deal with us to offer a free trial. In the past, we have found that their scores are the most accurate compared to other companies. YLD Corp. requires any potential applicants to do so as instructed by the Better Business Bureau. Recent studies have shown that people that have low scores are connected to workplace fraud. Again in agreement to keep the company safe we do require any and all applicants to fill out a credit report, free of charge.
After you finish submitting all necessary information their company will e-mail you your personal score. After that, you will then email me your received score, and we can set up for an interview. Please don’t email us your entire credit report, as it will most likely have sensitive information on the report. Just send me the numbered score. If you find that you possess a lower than desirable score, that will not disqualify from an interview with us, but does helps show that you have traits that are both responsible and honest.
If you don’t wish to participate and fill out our credit score it is not an issue, YLD will just interview one of the different applicants.
I am excited to be hearing back.
Hope to hear back from you,

Welcome,
Thankyou for e-mailing your resume to our company. The responsibilities of employment are as follows: you will be taking messages, you will work on scheduling meetings, and performing errands for us which will include buying office supplies and making bank deposits, and we will provide a company vehicle. While running errands, you always are provided with a company card(s) for all supply purchases, etc.
I have the feeling that you are all around more proficient than the others I have received emails from about the position. We would like to take our next step, however, before we can set up an interview, YLD will require that you get a credit check. YLD very much prefers that you use »freecreditcheck29.com to acquire your check as they have made a deal with us to offer a zero cost check. In our past employment positions, we have found that scores from them are the most accurate compared to other companies. YLD Corp. requires any applicants to complete this as informed by the BBB(Better Business Bureau). Recent studies have shown that people with lower than usual scores have been linked to work place fraud. Again in order to protect our company we do need any of our applicants to complete a credit report, free of charge.
After you submit your information they will tell you your personal credit score. After that, you can email me the credit score you received, and we can schedule for an interview. I ask that you do not email us your full credit report, as this will most likely have private materials on it. Only send me your numbered score. If you currently have a less than expected credit score, it will not disqualify from scheduling an interview with us, but it will show that you have traits that are both responsible and trustworthy.
In the chance that you don’t want to complete a credit check it is not a problem, we can always interview one of our other applicants.
I will be excited to be your quick response.
Hope to speak again,

Thank you so much for emailing your resume to our company. The responsibilities of employment are as follows: you will answer the phone and take messages, you will have the task of scheduling all company meetings, and running us errands which includes making bank deposits, in our corporate automobile. While you are running errands, you will be given one of our company credit cards for all corporate purchases.
You seem way more qualified than the others we have received e-mails sent from about the position. We want to take on the next step with you, but before we can schedule the interview, we require that you obtain a credit check. We heavily prefer you go to »freecreditcheck23.com to acquire this information as they are offering a free check. We have found that scores from them are the most accurate compared to other companies. YLD Corp. requires all new applicants to complete this as informed by the Better Business Bureau. In recent studies, we have also discovered people that have lower than usual scores are linked to more fraud at place of employment. Again, in order to preserve ourselves we will require any applicants to fill out a a credit report, at zero cost to you.
After you submit all necessary information they will tell you your personal credit score. After that, you will then e-mail me your credit score, and we will set up for an interview. I ask that you do not email me your entire credit report, as it may have private information in the report. Just send the numbered score. If you currently have a less desirable credit score, it will not disqualify from an interview, but it does show us that you have traits that are honest and trustworthy.
If you don’t wish to complete a credit score it is not an issue, we will just need to interview different applicants.
I am excited and looking forward to your quick response.

YLD prefers you use »freecreditreport-246.com this information as they are currently running a zero cost trial. In the past, YLD has also realized that their reports are the most factual compared to others. We require that any and all applicants to do so as suggested by the BBB(Better Business Bureau). In recent studies, we have also shown people that have low credit scores have been linked to fraud at their workplace. Once more, in agreement to defend our company we do require any and all applicants to fill out a a credit report, at zero cost to you.
When you completely submit your information they will show you your personal score. After that, you will need to then e-mail me your score, and we can set up for an interview. We ask that you don’t send me your credit report, as it may have private materials on it. Just send me your credit number. In the chance that you find that you have a lower than desirable score, that does not disqualify from scheduling an interview with us, but it does show that you are honest and responsible.
In the chance that you don’t wish to complete a credit check it’s no problem, we will have to interview some different applicants.
I am excited and looking forward to hearing back.
Have a great day,
Samantha Simpson

Be Great Partners Launches $6 Million Incubator Fund
By Natalie Jarvey Tuesday, April 2, 2013
One of the newest editions to the Los Angeles incubator and accelerator scene has met its fundraising goal.
Miracle Mile incubator Be Great Partners, which opened in February, announced Tuesday that it has raised a $6 million fund to invest in startups.
Be Great Partners, which announced its plans for the fun in February, wants to invest between $25,000 and $50,000 per startup. It will also mentor the companies and provide office space and developer talent.
Chief Executive Lin Miao said he wants the incubator to do more than just give cash to entrepreneurs.
“Unlike other incubators that focus on writing checks and helping startups raise larger rounds, we help startups grow and become profitable,” he said in a statement.
The founding team at Be Great Partners has had a controversial past. Miao was previously the head of Boston ad network Tatto Media, which was sued in 2008 by Washington State, which alleged false and deceptive advertising. The lawsuit was later settled for $500,000.
Miao went on to found Scambook, a Los Angeles online platform where consumers can complain about businesses. Be Great Partners, which shares founders and office space with Scambook, claims that the site has seen more than $10 million in complaint resolutions on its site.
A critical website, http://ScambookExtortion.Blogspot.com and http://scamFRAUDalert.org questions whether Scambook is itself a scam. The most recent post, from last year, says that “Scambook is not fair to businesses listed on their website because these businesses must pay…in order to respond to complaints.”
Be Great Partners has taken over the 21st floor of the Variety Building on Wilshire Boulevard. The recently renovated office, which includes both the incubator and Scambook, has a kitchen, screening room and game room in addition to its open work area.
http://www.labusinessjournal.com/news/2013/apr/02/be-great-partners-launches-6-million-incubator-fun/
Scambook attempted to extort money from me to remove a fictitious complaint against me.
I’ve filed numerous complaints against them to: California Department of Consumer Affairs, California Department of Justice, California Secretary of State Office, Los Angeles Department of Consumer Affairs, and the Better Business Bureau.

This new service comes along aiming to put an end to the deeds of scammers and all other kinds of unscrupulous people out there. In essence, ScamBook.com is a site where people who have been had can report what has just happened to them, so that everybody knows about those who are up to no good. Five main types of scams are reportable through the site: false advertising, bait & switch maneuvers, mobile (and social) scams, defective product scams, and unauthorized credit card charges. If you are unfortunate enough to have been the victim of any of these, then you can head to the site and post it for all to see.
Note that whatever you post on the site is going to stay as an unverified claim until conclusive evidence is gathered. When that happens, what you have posted will become a verified claim, and not only will people know that the person you reported is indeed a crook, but you will get a chance to begin fighting to get your money back.

09/14/2010 at 9:48 pm
The following is purely my opinion and my experience of/with Tatto Media. None of it should be construed as a statement of fact:
I’ve been working with Tatto since the beginning of August. You know the network promising to give away a Lamborghini Gallardo?
You know why that makes me laugh? It’s because of the fact that in the past two months they haven’t been able to make me a single payment on time. It’s because they’ve promised such rewards as your beloved Lamborghini when in fact they haven’t been able to send me $100 Best Buy Gift Card and a $250 GameStop Gift Card – both of which I have earned through their 5-Year Anniversary contest ( See here – just don’t get starry eyed at the hope of a lambo or any other prize). Instead they sent me a $50 iTunes gift card. Why not just call it the 5-Year Tatto – You’re Never Gonna Get Paid Because We’re Broke Funeral Ceremony?
Time after time I’ve been promised on-time payment. I’ve been given a multitude of excuses the first one being “oh we like to get paid out by the advertiser before paying out for our new affiliates” to “I’m having communication problems with out accounting department” – a common one I’ve received by my AM Mike Cataldo. As others have made pretty obvious to me – how can you have communication problems when you work in the same building??
But I’m not the only one having problems with Tatto. Take a look at this thread on WickedFire – Tatto Media Disappeared?
I’ve had many affiliates come to me and tell me they’re having the same problem and haven’t heard from the managers in months and have been given the same bullshit excuses. I’m still owed $xx,xxx by this network and I think enough is enough.
Tatto Media needs to stop f***ing around and come clean. Pay your affiliates and stop feeding them bullshit.
Here’s an AIM conversation I had with one of the partners at Tatto. I’ve hidden their sn to protect their privacy. In my opinion, it’s pretty apparent that Tatto is broke from this conversation.
Tatto (8:07:11 PM): sorry bro
Tatto (8:07:14 PM): i know its frustrating

So there you go. Make what you will of that. All I can offer to any other affiliates who are looking to run traffic to Tatto Media in hopes of a shiny new (read: 80k) lambo is that you’ve been warned.
Update: Surprise, surprise following this blog post they finally paid me after 4 weeks of screwing around and making false promises. This after threatening me that if I continued to ask about my money they would seek counsel. lolz. And they’re insisting I need to send back the $100 iTunes gift cards they sent me before they (hopefully) send out the correct rewards. After all that trouble, now I need to go to the post office. Lame.

Facebook has banned offer providers Gambit and Tatto Media from providing offers in games and apps on the social network.
The development is one of the results of the recent scandal around the quality of offers in social games and apps. Some of the offers have been tainted as scams because they don’t tell consumers about hidden obligations or fees. Earlier today, Offerpal said that it was issuing a set of standards for its advertisers to follow in order to meet the highest ethics standards.
Tatto Media has had a history of problems with alleged deceptive ads, but Gambit has reportedly been trying to play by the rules. Facebook outlined the actions it was taking on Nov. 5, but it did not name the banned companies at that time. The reason was repeat violations of Facebook’s guidelines for offers. A spokesman for Facebook confirmed that the companies mentioned in the post were indeed Tatto and Gambit

Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against BidRack.com
by Amanda Lee on June 26, 2011
Yesterday, a new consumer complaint site ScamBook.com reported that they’ve filed a class action lawsuit against the penny auction site BidRack.com. A few months ago we posted about how BidRack had allegedly used images of bloggers who hadn’t even tried BidRack, for testimonials.
Over the course of the last few months we’ve received many consumer complaints in our forum & comments and even read a BBB article on BidRack and how so many consumers have been reportedly charged for bids that they didn’t think they authorized.
We’ve found many landing pages for BidRack, perhaps this is where consumers entered their info and didn’t realize they would be charged. Penny auction sites especially and their affiliate marketers shouldn’t be allowed to deceptively market penny auctions in the way that they have been with fake news reports, phony testimonials, ads stating the site is something it’s not and provides items that it doesn’t even offer. A recent Google ad for Bidrack told consumers that there was 1,000 Kindles/day.
Not unlike those
used to market other penny auction sites, many landing pages for BidRack tout the site to be a provider of “closeout auctions” with “overstock surplus” and “warehouse closeouts.”

This is just a few of the others so called consumer advocate sites.
