Complaint Review: Blossoms.com Cherryblossoms.com Mike Krosky - Kapaau Hawaii

I think you should be informed of daily fraud, that is being committed via www.Blossoms.com in Hawaii through their negligence .

I first used the site late 2006, and have been monitoring it since I was defrauded by a female site member in April 2007. That fraud only happened because the company failed to inform me that they had deactivated the female member that I had contacted via their website. I continued emailing her for six weeks unaware that she had been added to a little know area of their site called scammers and spammers.

I discovered afterwards that she was in contact with numerous other men from the same site, and actually managed to stopped one in Cuba sending her further funds. He also was unaware she had been deactivated by blossoms.com over two months earlier.

In December this year they deleted the same known fraudster called Nancy Paul from their scammers list, thus allowing the same persons photo to be listed under another name to potentially commit another fraud on their website.

Nancy Paul [email protected] became Lucy Simth ( correct spelling ) [email protected] within a short period of being removed from the scammers list. ( I have all photographs and membership numbers, including a copy of Nancy Paul's forged drivers licence if required. )

When I informed blossoms.com of the activity, they deactivated the fraudster while she was being traced, when specifically requested not to do so. This action allowed the criminal to go undetected for a second time, to commit further crimes via Western Union money transfer. The profile of the fraudster known as Nancy Paul or Lucy Simth has still not been re added to the sites scammers list even though its been deactivated for a second time.

I currently note that blossoms.com show only a few African scammers on their internal site list. This is a completely inaccurate, and is actually false.

I have directly informed blossoms.com of 30 fraudulent females profiles on their site from just one small African area around Benin, during the last 11 months. The global total must be far greater than their advertised figures suggest, and I'm certain that they are manipulating the amount of deactivated females on the website. This action keeps the male members uninformed of the actual risks they are exposed to on Blossoms.com. and also maintains the figures well below one percent of their total female members, for public relations purposes.

A simple weekly list of deactivated profiles to paying members email address, would have avoided the whole problem I encountered at blossoms.com, but sadly I never reached the point where I was able to put this point to the site owner Mike Krosky. The lack of concern he showed regarding the fraud on blossoms.com is appalling. He showed no integrity, by completely failing to respond in a meaningful manner to several recent emails, having only replied with glib and ridiculous comments.

( All emails have been kept for reference if required.)

Females join blossoms.com for free, with no identity check, and only a possible record their computers IP address to confirm their location. All male members pay for membership, so their credit or debit details are recorded. Needless to say, there are no male members listed in the scammers section, because they could be traced via the banking system. Male fraudsters appear get on the site by posting a females picture they copy from the internet, and then ad a suitable false profile to match their location.

If the fraudsters IP address matches his location on their profile, they only need to send a couple of messages to male contacts via the internal system on the site, and then switch the victim to regular email or messaging service, to completely avoid being detected by the site monitors. If they only escape detection for even a week, they can collect numerous email address of potential targets to develop off the site in the coming months. If they get deactivated meanwhile, they simply inform their victims that they have removed their profile from the site themselves, out of loyalty to the contact.

The male members are hooked in most cases, and shortly after agree to send them money via Western Union for passports fees, airline tickets, or both. The women never arrive, but they request further funds for whatever reason they think their contact will accept.

I recently discovered one male who sent 8000 in five payments of his mother money via Western Union before accepting the obvious.

Mike Krosky's message of not sending females money, fobs of most disgruntled members, but as we all know, men have been giving money to women they fall in love with for hundreds of years, and it will not change.

I note that the Scammer totals have increased since I first posted this story on another fraud site, and they have had to take notice. Even so the scammer figures are still obviously false.

If each female on the site paid a nominal fee of $12 a year, or $1 a month, the amount of fraud would be cut be a huge amount, because they could all be traced by the credit, debit, or banking details. This would obviously cut the amount of females using the site, but the quality of contacts would improve for male members who are paying the full fee. Blossoms.com should have a duty of care to paying members, not aid and abet the fraudsters at paying members expense.

At the moment, cherry blossoms.com or CB as it's known, is actually Carte Blanche, for fraudsters, and Mike Krosky doesn't give a dam because he's getting very rich by using about 60 thousand girls as bait in an irresponsible way.

The bulk of this type of crime could easily be cut by requiring all similar site owners to check members ID in a responsible manner.
