I was searching the internet, and I kept getting redirected to the website for Antivirus 2008. It said my computer was severly infected and I needed to download it. I didn't have a very good anti-virus program so I assumed it was true. I wasn't able to visit any website until I downloaded it.

I spent $50 and downloaded the program. I proceeded to to scan my computer and was a little surprised that it didn't find anything wrong with my computer, but I didn't think much of it.

About a month later my Norton security scan picked it up as a virus and deleted it. I typed Antivirus 2008 into google and found it that it was a scam and that it was actually a virus!!!

Marrero/Louisiana Motek Wheels & Accessories TA Hello, A report was filed on June 6, 2008, by Marrero from Louisiana--against a company that apparently went by the company came of Motek Wheels and Accessories. Motek Industreis, LLC, a Maryland USA based firm in in no way affiliated with the Motek in the filer's 'bait & switch' complaint filed way back in June 6th of 2008. However, due to the fact that my firm, Motek Industries, LLC, ands internet firm, also sells tires & wheels, the complainant and their posting is posing potential and unwarranted reputational hardship to Motek Industries, LLC of Maryland, USA, due to the similarity of Names-Motek~and this unfair contrast is being perpetuated by the fact that internet searches for my firm Motek Industries, LLC for which we hold the exclusion REGISTRERED trademark to is potentially having its regarded reputation placed at a high risk level due to the proximetry of yoiur complainant's VERY OLD outdated complaint. Can this outdated complaint at issue possibly be omitted at this point so as to limit any further adverse associations with my internet firm with essentially the same internet recognized name? Please advise. And thank you in advance for all help you will be able to offer in this regard. Steve Houston, Owner, Motek Industries, LLC, Maryland USA. The association of the term Motek posted on the internet could unfairly be impugning my company's reputation by association.

Auto View LLC Auto View LLC (Tampa, FL 33604) is a criminal enterprise. They sell very unsafe vehicles--not fit for purchase or travel. Unfortunately, recently, I was tricked into purchasing a 2008 Nissan Altima from them with missing andor damaged parts for oil, transmission, braking, and wiper fluid. To make matters worse, I made a terrible error while using CashApp. Accidentally, I pressed send instead of request for an amount totalling $2820 (to $Ahmed Autoview). I was requesting a refund for a criminally dangerous vehicle that I bought in haste from said disreputable car dealer.To further complicate matters, the CashApp account that I sent all of those payments to is a salesman for said car dealer and after I contacted him,he suspiciously claimed that though he and Auto View now have $5640 from me for a car that only required $4380 for full payment,only a manager can send back at least the $1260 excess. Avoid these thieves at all costs! payPFASAPAMAP; Thank you very much! Tampa Florida

Rebecca Vasconcellos, Rebecca Rosa Vasconcellos, Credere Organics, LLC, Vasconcellos, Rebecca, Credere Organics Rebecca Vasconcellos aka Credere Organics — Stalker, Email/bank account/computer hacker, Fake lawsuit filer, defendant in restraining order cases in CA and Florida, suspect in grand theft in bel air, identity theft suspect, bank account hacker suspect, mentally ill patient of Dr. Soraya Bacchus. PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL OF REBECCA ROSA VASCONCELLOS AKA CREDERE ORGANICS now living in Idyllwild, CA. Introduction: STALKER, PORNO WRITER, COMPUTER/E-MAIL/BANK ACCOUNT HACKER, RESTRAINING ORDERS DEFENDANT IN LA SUPERIOR COURT, STANLEY MOSS COURT HOUSE & BREVARD COUNTY COURT IN FLORIDA.  Introduction: REBECCA ROSA VASCONCELLOS Born on December 17, 1964 or December 16, 1964 to Mother Maria Vasconcellos in wooddale, IL at 458 Grove Ave, Wooddale, IL 60106, Telephone number: [protected], Sister Elizabeth Vasconcellos in the same address who helps her sell E-cig (Liquid cig without a license), Dead father: Edward Vasconcellos and Other brother Peter Vasconcellos D.O. (doctor of osteopathy NOT an M.D.) in Wisconsin, Green bay. who take medicaid from UHC and Medicare. Victoria vasconcellos, family member! Rebecca Rosa Vasconcellos AKA Nicotine lady and [protected]@ Amazon conducts in my opinion very criminally illegal type of activities such as computer/e-mail and bank account hacking business from 3113 North Atlantic Ave. Unit 16, Long Beach, CA 90807.  At a young age of 20s Rebecca moved from IL to LA to follow a boy friend, and began working as a porno writer under Ambrosia Vynne name and Ambrosia Vynne productions. Had an APT bought in Long beach at 3113 North Atlantic Ave, Unit 16, Long Beach, CA 90807 with a help of an OLD MARRIED man (80 years old) by the name of Maury Hoag in APT 12 at the same address who use to own a real estate company, and then became involved with a man who had a bike business and had an altercation with his partner in Danville CA that owns a bike shop called pegasus Bike shop. Rebecca sued the owner when he discovered that multiple alleged fake charges were done to his capital one credit card under Ambrosia Vynne who he has NEVER met or done business with before. Of course Rebecca Lost the lawsuit. In court she claimed that the business owner of the pegasus bike shop, who she had never met tried to threaten her life, stalked her and fabricated crazy stories to the judge. She LOST the lawsuit!  She later got involved with another MARRIED man by the name of Ali Gohlam Nasiri and decided to get involved in a FAKE lawsuit against his family. She filed a Fabricated & fake lawsuit against an innocent family in Florida who had never met her for stalking. She claimed that: strange men came to her house seeking sex because phone number [protected] who belonged to her boy friend's dead wife & him with his address in Redondo beach, California had been posted on the internet and these men found her based on that very same phone number in long beach, CA. This Woman is a Complete liar, a delusional mentally ill psychopath, very dangerous and becomes obsessed with people for years in my opinion. She loves stalking, prank calling, computer hacking into e-mails/computers/bank accounts and harassing her victims and their families and friends for years. She will pose as a young pretty girl with a fake picture on plenty of fish.com and try to solicit men and her victims! She will have breakfast with VERY OLD men in their 80s just to manipulate them to help her financially. She will go on a Million websites and tries to make friends with people and ask them to help her get even with her foes based on fabricated delusional lies she makes up to the public. She is VERY DANGEROUS SO STAY AWAY FROM HER!  You will get tons of prank calls that are made from fake internet phone numbers forwarded to various real agencies and your loved ones will be harassed, their e-mails/computers/bank accounts hacked into so thousands of dollars will be pulled out and you will be stalked for ever. She has tried to steal an identity of an innocent person by stealing her social security number & date of birth from and try to buy cars, get 6 cell phones and try to get a $100, 000.00 capital one credit card. She is an alleged suspect in a grand theft of high end jewels and diamonds in Bel air, CA and identity theft in Lancaster, ca. She is a Vindictive, very immature, uneducated and mentally ill psychopath with, she hears and sees things all the time according to her doctor Soraya Bacchus who has treated this schizophrenic sicko in the past and given her meds including Zoloft. She claims to have graduated college but besides a few classes, she is an uneducated college drop out. These all of our opinions, we invite you to do your own back ground search on this criminal!  She claims to be a successfully well off business woman but in reality besides the used books she sells on amazon, and the E-cigs that she gets from her sister in Illinois she has NO money and that's why in my opinion she poses as a successfully well off business woman to CON others. She even claims to be an energy healer and charges cash for her scam! We can't believe any one would pay her or even associate with her but they do and soon they too become victims! She will try to steal and sleep with all her friend's boy friends, husbands and friends in our opinions.  There are TWO restraining orders against Rebecca rosa Vasconcellos one in Brevard county court house in Melbourne, FL and the other in LA superior court in North Hill street in Los Angeles. You can do a name search under Rebecca Rosa Vasconcellos on LA superior court to see all the lawsuits.The FL restraining order is: 05-2008-DR-025624-XXXX-XX.Rebecca Rosa Vasconcellos, Last four digits of Social: 0026.
