It seems that the Cambridgebusinessacademy.com scam website has been shut down, after taking over $3million from subscribers, claiming the website and business has been 'sold'.
On their forum, kevin Potts and Paul Lynch:

You guys seem to have your heads so far in the sand it is unbelievable. Here are the facts about Kevin Potts and Paul Lynch:
Kevin Potts:
On the 07/12/2010 Kevin changed the business name from CAMBRIDGE
BUSINESS ACADEMY LIMITED to KEVIN POTTS CONSULTING LIMITED but the
business is still actually in his name. He is both the director and the
company secretary. It does seem that the business has been sold BUT it
is looking like he has sold it to himself.
Also on the 27/09/2010 he setup a new company - GLOBAL NET PUBLICATIONS LTD with his daughter as the other director.
The fact that he has been claiming for the last 2 years, that he "only
started making money 7 months ago" should say it all to you. The
website was even registered 2 years before!
Nobody sells a website with so much traffic, and rankings, and then
places a holding page on it, screwing all their masses of subscribers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paul Lynch
It would seem that on 24/09/2010 Paul setup his own academy DOT COM ACADEMY LTD - thedotcomacademy.com
He looks as though he is also going into the video market with another
new business setup on the 27/09/2010 - EXTREME VIDEO MEDIA LTD - extremevideomedia.com(Paul Lynch owns this and uses himself as a client testimonial !!!).
Paul will know exactly what is happening with Kevin Potts. Don't
forget, it was not that long ago that they were both squealing like
children, drinking champagne after watching those poor souls pay them $3million for the (cough) 'Churchill Apprenticeship'
Talk about being lead down the garden path. This whole forum is
dictated by those two guys, with more 'smoke and mirrors' than a smoke
and mirrors factory!
CAMBRIDGE BUSINESS ACADEMY sold? Don't believe a word of it. The
Churchill Apprenticeship made them $3million+ They boasted about it on
an article on the site, and that is a lot of money not to be tempted to
close down a limited company, or pretend to sell it on.
Come on forum members, you know exactly what has happened here.
------------------------------
Kevin Potts and Paul Lynch who runs the
www.thedotcomacademy.com scam site
have scam written all over them!
Off into the sunset with $3million in their back pockets.

Paul Lynch,
Think before you reply, Paul. You really are starting to look pathetic, in your attempt to escape the fact that you have scammed a lot of money, from a lot of people, and are dictating a lot of people on your fake forum, without them even realising.
Also Paul, from your other suspicious website: thedotcomacademy.com
Interestingly, this image was named "cambridge-foundation_08":

In just 11 short months? Really, Paul? It seems you have just a short a memory as the other scammer, Kevin Potts.
Because you have been running a business online since at least 2006:
http://www.rapidsitecheck.com/whois....howtodoseo.com
Incidentally, I have 3 associates who have used your link-building
services, where you use low earners in Peru, and all 3 of them claim
that the links provided were total trash. Unrelated, on spam type blogs,
and zero value domains, and that they were refused a refund, and would
never use the service again. They also stated how rude the emails were
when the poor service was questioned.
So, yet another attempt to fool, and scam visitors on one of your websites.

ExtremeVideo: This is one of my affilaite businesses. The testimonial is true because I got the videos made by the owner in the USA called Tim Pipher who runs and owns http://www.majorleaguevideo.com/ which has got nothing to do with me.
My extension was built a couple of years ago before I even knew Kevin!
Not sure how you can scam anyone who is STILL on the programme! Again Churchill is STILL ongoing only the web site was sold.
I will not get drawn into this and just leave these testimonials and let others decide:

Paul Lynch,
You really should show some manners when you have been caught scamming people out of considerable sums of money. A paid contractor? Is that why yourself and Kevin Potts were squealing with delight, sipping champagne when that $3million you conned our of vulnerable people started flowing into your bank accounts?
You are, and were, right in Kevin Potts's pocket, and still are.And you can try and convince your pathetic little shhep forum otherwise, but we all know the truth.
It is easy to claim this when the brown stuff hits the fan. The fact is, you both cooked up this scam together, in a direct attempt to defraud people of their money. Kevin Potts lied, and so did you. You are both scammers of the highest order.
And it looks like you have paid for a nice little extension on your house with the foresight of the proceeds -
Nice, Paul. Is there now a swimming pool around the back now, too, with the scammed money?..
Also, why are you posting FAKE TESTIMONIALS on your video website extremevideomedia.com, claiming yourself as the customer. This is a lie, Paul. You are tricking potential buyers into falsehood, as you own this website.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Although, with $3million in the bank between you and the other scammer, Kevin Potts, the shame quickly goes way.
Another bottle of champagne paid for, with the proceeds of this scam should help..
All you are, Paul Lynch, is somebody who pays for slave labour for your link building company, offering services which are shoddy, and poorly executed. Another scam.
This obviously wasn't paying enough, so you decided to take it further, portraying yourself as some kind of internet marketing guru, and take the scam to a much higher level, with the help of Kevin Potts, falsely advertising himself as a vicar who only started online 9 months ago, when his company was registered years before. You knew this, still decided to partner with him, making you equally a SCAMMER.
Kevin Potts and Paul Lynch, you are both scammers, and updates will follow.

You really should get your facts straight before posting this rubbish!
Firstly the Churchill Students (20K) are very much being looked after full time by Kevin Potts.
Here is a video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/howtodoseo#p/u/0/8QyRjqOPXc4
And secondly the CBA website sale had NOTHING to do with me. Since you like looking on companies house please do another search on the CBA and tell me if I was a director of that company?
I simply worked as a paid contractor on thetraffic side of KEVINS business thats it.
