Megadownload.pass Bait and Switch Scheme International Scam Nationwide

An internationally based illegal bait and switch activity is targeting users of the Internet who are trying to search for drivers for their computers or other information on the web. A ruse is set up on the internet that purports to be a legitimate software driver download club but is actuality a front to a website that features XXX Porn pictures. The consumer is duped when he searches on Google for a software driver such as Windows 2000 USB Driver or other types of common information (music, videos, etc.). When the user clicks on a particular link he is directed to a software page that indicates for $4.87 (or other similar amount) he can download a specific driver for his computer which does exactly what he wants it to do. After providing credit card and security information, he is immediately redirected to an XXX porn site that features unending shows of naked women in explicit compromising positions. His credit card is charged the $4.87, a $1 assist fee and a recurring $39.95 per month fee which he cannot get rid of because the toll free numbers are bogus. There are at least 17 specific complaints I immediately found on your site about this fraud and is continuing several months of time and is INTERNATIONAL in scope.

Warning!! This is a sophisticated scam which appears to directly involve the central porn sites as shown in the attachments, www.cyberotica.com, www.megadownloadpass.com, various names@live.com, and www.cswebhelp.com is one front organization handling the money transfer. I looked hard for the link I originally followed but could not find it (this would show you how the person is duped into providing credit card information). Note that several duped customers describe this problem, report occurrences as this is a massive and continuing scam. Cancel your credit card immediately if you believe you have been sucked into this scam.
