Royal Mystery Shopper website shut down
#2Consumer Suggestion
Thu, June 29, 2006
I just wanted to let anyone know that fell for this scam like I did is that I got Royal Mystery Shopper's website shut down a couple of weeks ago after several persistent attempts to communicate with the web hosting co - freewebs.com
However, I just did some research and it looks like another company may be now hosting the site.
go to:
www.networksolutions.com and type in www.royalmysteryshopper.com
If you have been a victim of a scam like this, the next best thing is to get their website shut down to out a severe damper in their illegitimate efforts. Calling and harrassing the scam artists also lets you blow off steam.
You should also file reports with the following sites/agencies:
ripoffreport.com
FTC - Federal Trade Commission
phonebusters.com (if Canadian company)
FBI
Your state Attorney General
Shut shysters like Royal Mystery Shopper down!
