Looking at all the "Calalily fangirl" sigs - I will have a harem of prison bitches.  I will be lesbi-king of the prison.

thankyou for the entertaining read of the new forum. Hawkgirl already checked with the FBI this morning and as she posted this is not what that site is about. Actually, this site is more for people that have had scams with phishing emails, fraud orders on your credit card like Amazon.com.

Greg, thanks for posting this info! I had no idea the ICCC existed and I agree that this is a great way to handle this situation. And being that all of the pirated files are being held on a site owned by a US citizen, this avenue looks like it holds some real potential. Thanks Again, great info!

Well I'm new here and I have to say thank you also to Greg. I had no idea the ICCC existed, and yes as the pirated files are all in one place, and they advertise it so proudly, this is a great route to go.

I recommend we get really serious about this. Fortunately, a new agency of the U.S. federal government exists for the sole purpose of helping with this sort of thing.

According to the U.S. government's Internet Crime Complaint Center, theft and distribution of intellectual property on the Internet is a crime in the United States. Over a certain amount, it becomes a felony crime involving stiff prison sentences and fines. International trafficking in stolen goods is also a felony crime.

We know of at least one theft ring which by far exceeds the minimum amount to be guilty of felony crime, trafficking in stolen property that exceeds a million dollars.

See the Sun Sims front page for my notes about my contact with the Internet Crime Complaint Center. This new center is a partnership between the United States government's Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National White Collar Crime Center. They exist for the sole purpose of investigating and prosecuting this kind of crime, and they have the resources necessary to identify, arrest, and prosecute the criminals.

Everyone who has suffered from intellectual property being stolen and redistributed by these criminals needs to file a complaint with the ICCC. Be as professional, polite, and factual as you can in your complaint.

You do not need to a U.S. citizen to file a complaint. If any part of the crime ring in the United States, the ICCC can and will take action.

When people see the big criminals prosecuted and sentenced to prison, the crimes will stop.

Once the criminals are positively identified, then it will be time to file civil lawsuits for damages.

These criminals have gotten away with their crimes by hiding behind a mask of Internet anonimity, and because previously there was no government agency equipped to deal with it. The ICCC solves both of those problems. All we need do is get their attention on the problem and file enough complaints that they realize it's serious business.

She is just so yesterday. Unless she comes up with better than another personality... I am bored with her. LOL

Um, are there going to be any more rants like that one this morning
sent to my mailbox? Because it seriously ticked me off to find
something like that in MY mailbox when I have no clue what it is I as a
group member am supposed to have done. ?? Besides make the mistake
of signing up and downloading files. I've been in about 40 or so sims
groups over the years and I can't ever remember the whole group getting
screamed at over anything! Especially when I can't find a hint of what
anyone did wrong anywhere in the messages

You gotta love this phorum. Somehow a discussion about a pay site going free has evolved into Harry Potter ships, and when you look at the front page and then the last page? That's pretty amusing.

googled her number and name, and came up with 2 results.....and one listed a male name under hers..........hmmmm.......maybe her "husband", perhaps?
