"WORLD VENDOR DIRECTORY" FRAUD ALERT - MATTHEW FRIEDMAN PARTY PLANNING WEBSITE SCAM!
>

THE FASTEST GROWING INTERNET SCAM IS TO TARGET EVENT PLANNERS AND PARTY VENDORS WHO ADVERTISE ON ONLINE PARTY PLANNING DIRECTORIES LIKE HotWireMedia.com. 

HAVE YOU RECENTLY BEEN CALLED OR EMAILED BY SOMEONE YOU DO NOT KNOW, FROM A COMPANY YOU NEVER HEARD OF, CLAIMING "IT IS TIME TO RENEW YOUR WEBSITE" IN A PARTY PLANNING DIRECTORY? WERE YOU TOLD IF YOU RENEW NOW YOU WILL RECIEVE A "FREE BANNER AD"? WERE YOU TOLD YOUR WEB SITE WILL BE VISITED BY THOUSANDS OF VISITORS, AND YOUR SITE WILL BE RANKED HIGHER IN GOOGLE.COM? HAVE YOU RECEIVED A FRAUDULENT EMAIL FROM:  mark.customerservice@bat-mitzvah.org?

(Sent: Monday, October 12, 2009 11:53 AM to Felix Alexander of www.alexanderevent.com, a HotWireMedia.com client)

HERE IS HOW THIS MATTHEW FRIEDMAN & BENJAMIN TESSER "WORLD VENDOR DIRECTORY" SCAM WORKS. 

THESE SCAMMERS ARE SALESMAN AND TELEMARKETERS, WORKING WITH A WEBMASTER. THE WEBMASTER BUILDS SEVERAL WEBSITES WITH PARTY PLANNING NAMES, MAYBE SIMILIAR TO OFFICIAL NAMES TO CONFUSE CLIENTS, LIKE THE NEW MATTHEW FRIEDMAN & BENJAMIN TESSER "WORLD VENDOR DIRECTORY" SITE: WWW.BARMITVAHDJS.COM. (THE "Z" IS MISSING) THE WEBMASTER THEN ADDS YOUR COMPANY INFORMATION TO THESE FRAUDULENT PARTY PLANNING WEBSITES. THE SCAMMER THEN CALLS AND EMAILS THE COMPANY, AND CLAIMS "IT IS TIME TO RENEW YOUR WEBSITE" FOR $99 PER YEAR, AND IF YOU RENEW TODAY, YOU RECIEVE A "FREE BANNER AD". ($199 VALUE) 

MATTHEW FRIEDMAN CALLS AND EMAILS PARTY VENDORS SAYING HE IS FROM BAT-MITZVAH.ORG (A NEW MATTHEW FRIEDMAN & BENJAMIN TESSER "WORLD VENDOR DIRECTORY" SITE) THIS SITE WAS STARTED BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE BARMITZVAHS.ORG, OR BATMITZVAHS.ORG (BOTH LEGITIMATE HOTWIREMEDIA.COM PARTY PLANNING DIRECTORIES) NOTE THE MARKETING TEXT IN THE ABOVE MATT FRIEDMAN (AKA MARK) EMAIL: "Over the past 10 years..." MATTHEW FRIEDMAN COPIED AND PASTED THIS FROM HIS FORMER EMPLOYERS WEBSITE: www.hotwiremedia.com/promotion.

THE SCAMMER IS WELL VERSED IN INTERNET LINGO:
 • GOOGLE OPTIMIZATION...
 • MONTHLY HITS...
 • WEB TRAFFIC...
 • KEYWORDS...
 • METATAGS...
 • MULTIPLE PARTY PLANNING SITES...
 • STATE CATEGORIES...
 • VENDOR CATEGORIES...
 • NATIONWIDE CATEGORY...
 • ETC.

WARNING: THESE FRAUDULENT PLANNING WEBSITES RECEIVE NO VISITS & NO WEB TRAFFIC. JUST BECAUSE THESE FRAUDULENT PARTY PLANNING SITES ARE IN GOOGLE, DOESNT MEAN PEOPLE ARE VISITING THEM. IT IS EASY AND FREE TO ADD YOUR WEBSITE TO GOOGLE.COM. JUST GO TO www.google.com/addurl.html

THINGS YOU SHOULD ASK WHEN YOU RECIEVE A CALL FROM A PARTY PLANNING DIRECTORY ASKING YOU TO RENEW:

CAN YOU PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL SO I KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT WEBSITE YOU ARE FROM. NOTE: THE ONLY WAY TO PROVE THIS SCAMMER IS WORKING FOR A SPECIFIC WEBSITE, IS TO HAVE HIM SEND YOU AN EMAIL FROM THAT SITE. 
(THE WEBSITE IS LISTED AFTER THE "@" SYMBOL IN THE EMAIL ADDRESS)
WHEN DID YOU START THESE PARTY PLANNING SITES?
WHO OWNS THE SITES?
WHEN DID I ADD MY SITE TO YOUR DIRECTORY?
CAN YOU EMAIL ME MY ORIGINAL CONTRACT/AGREEMENT?
HOW ARE MY POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS FINDING MY COMPANY ON YOUR WEBSITES?
WHAT DO MY POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS TYPE IN GOOGLE.COM TO FIND YOUR PARTY PLANNING SITES?
CAN YOU GIVE ME A LIST OF YOUR TOP PARTY VENDORS, I WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT THEM, AND VERIFY YOUR COMPANY, THERE LISTING, AND SUCCESS.
IF I GIVE YOU MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER, WILL YOU FAX OR EMAIL ME A COPY OF YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE?
HOW DO I KNOW I AM GETTING POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS CLICKING ON MY WEB LISTING OR BANNER AD IF THERE IS NO HIT COUNTER?
THE ABOVE QUESTIONS ARE A STARTING POINT IN YOUR INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH INTO THIS ONLINE PARTY PLANNING DIRECTORY.

CALL OTHER PARTY VENDORS IN THIS PARTY PLANNING DIRECTORY TO VERIFY AND CONFIRM IT IS LEGIT. 
RESEARCH WHO OWNS THE PARTY PLANNING WEBSITE (matthew friedman), AND WHEN IT WAS STARTED AT www.networksolutions.com/whois,
RESEARCH THE WEBSITES ONLINE BY TYPING IN THE WEBSITE NAME IN GOOGLE.COM. (EXAMPLE: www.planningforevents.com)
REMEMBER, ONCE YOU GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER OVER THE PHONE OR THE INTERNET, YOU ARE EXPOSING YOURSELF TO CREDIT CARD FRAUD AND IDENTITY THEFT.

Subject: Mat Freidman Scam

Hi Nick,
Just got off the phone with you. As per request, here are the details of the fraudulent charge Matt Friedman made to my credit card. I noticed a $200.00 charge on my MBNA Vista card from Natpartysvc through PayPal on June 26th. I didn't recognize the charge and saw it had a 516 and 914 telephone # on it. I called and got Matt on the phone who told me it was my annual renewal. He said since I have been with the company since it's start 4 years ago, I would get top listing on all the categories of the 18 websites. 3 hours later, my site and link did appear at the top of all the categories as well as my banner. I was very pleased until I got your fraud alert. I read the entire alert and followed your instructions. I called Officer Sulz and left my name, # and breif description of what had happened. the officer I spoke with said he would pass the info. on to officer Shulz when he gets back to the precinct. I also called my credit card company and told them of the fraud and they suspended the charge and are sending me an affidavit to sign so they can investigate and remove the charges.
My company is based in Shirley, NY which is on Long Island, not far from Matt Friedman. I appreciate your alert, otherwise I would not have known what was really going on. I also appreciate and thank you for your offer of the lifetime membership at no charge and placement at the top of your sites, although if you are making the same offer to everyone else who got scammed, there is no way for us all to be on top unless we are rotated which will give each person a top listing at various times. Eitherway, I APPRECIATE THE GESTURE AND ALERT. IF I CAN BE OF FURTHER ASSISTANCE, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME.
