Update on AIM/E-Credit solutions ripoff MUST READ

In April, 2001, the New York State Attorney General announced
a lawsuit against AIM which accused them of targeting
financially-strapped consumers in New York and other states
with false promises of easy access to credit cards.
^Alini International Marketing, Inc., and its officers Nicole^Bertrand and Neil Haboush, are accused of running an advance^fee credit card scam since at least December 1999. Instead of^sending a promised credit card, this firm sent consumers a^package containing: a catalog from which consumers could^purchase overpriced merchandise in installments; a credit^repair manual; and a promise that the consumers would be^approved for a major credit card after making consistent timely^payments to Alini. ^^To give the appearance of legitimacy, the company represented^that its business was located in upstate New York. However,^thefirm merely rented post boxes in either Plattsburgh or^Champlain.^^REPORT DATE: 10/04/2001^^COPYRIGHT DATE: 200
