Online Gaming Corp / Worldwide Web Designs / Dean Sparaino / Howard Brandwein / Steve Horner BEWARE - Company is a set-up used to SCAM YOU out of your money!!! Phoenix Or Scottsdale Arizona
After following a business opportunity ad on www.franchiseopportunites.com, I began the saga of involving myself with "Online Gaming Corp" a.k.a. "Worldwide Web Designs LLC".
Long story short, Dean Sparaino sells you on how lucrative online gambling is, and that they have an opportunity to legally earn commissions on game play by signing you up as an affiliate of various gaming sites around the world. That concept is sound.
However, after securing you a $10 domain name from GoDaddy.com, and "designing" what amounts to be a canned website, they supposedly begin what's most important to any website - MARKETING. They won't. Instead you'll get excuses as to why it's not working; they'll try to blame you for not spending enough, thus not getting the exposure you need to get hits.
Then Howard Brandwein steps in. He's supposedly the big shot, well- connected-in-the-gaming-industry owner, who has a "proposition for you". Because the initial $3,000 isn't yielding the results I like, he'll slash the price of a new marketing idea to only $4,500 "just for me". Supposedly he was to set up a website that will capture players as they exit online casinos, then provide a pop-down ad to guide them to his list of client sites.
I know, I know - it all seems obvious to me now, but...
So as of this date (five weeks after last contact), neither he, nor Dean Sparaino returns calls or e-mails; "Worldwide Web Designs LLC" seems not to exist where it says it does; nor does "Online Gaming Corp's" address. I have a Scottsdale address supposedly Dean Sparaino's home, but further investigation looks otherwise.
I even tracked Dean to another firm, "Pureform Design Group LLC", also out of Scottsdale; called for Dean, but "receptionist" says she is off-site. Only passes messages on. Even the actual Casinos which I'm signed up with can't seem to find contact info for these guys. I even have an address for their bank, Bank of America in Scottsdale, AZ, but they won't assist me at all.
And Franchise Opportunities claimed they would would make a note of my complaint, and provided me with another contact phone number associated with Dean Sparaino - but of course he doesn't answer my calls. I even tried to e-mail other supposed clients of theirs, by remembering some example domain names that people had "reserved" already. No one replied.
I think they prey on your greed like any other scam, and hope that because online gaming has some gray legal areas in America, you won't pursue them. I'm out $7,500.00 and I'M MAD! Mad at myself for falling victim, but way more angry at these SLIMY SCAM ARTISTS!!! Give me my money back!!!

This guy you're looking for named .Howard Brandwein is now working for another scam called UnitedWorkForce.org. See the other posts about him on ripoff report with this company. He has the same modis operandi It sounds like he is up to the same crap. Maybe you should call the company and get them take a look at his background and make him pay you back. They may not know about his schemes Good luck! We hope you find him
