Stockup.com = telephone spammers. I just got a telephone solicitation call at my place of business from the aforementioned company, who abused the whois lookup to get my number. They want me to sell their product on my site. Not only am I not going to do that, but I'm going to discourage people from using products that are pushed by unsolicited telephone sales calls. Boy, do I hate that. google.com

CIVIL ACTION AGAINST NET WORLD MARKETING, INC., ET AL. On November 7, Judge Wesley Brown, U.S. District Judge for the District of Kansas, Wichita Division, issued various emergency orders sought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) to halt a securities fraud scheme that targeted victims throughout the Untied States, by various means, including the Internet. According to the Commission's complaint, the defendants raised over $1.3 million from at least 1,000 investors by selling unregistered securities of microcap companies. As part of their scheme, the Defendants caused the securities of two companies to be publicly traded, and then used the Internet, press releases and certain offering materials to distribute false information in an effort to inflate the share price of these companies. The named Defendants and Relief Defendant are: ú Edward B. Williamson III (Williamson), age 53, a securities recidivist, is a resident of Wichita, Kansas, and the owner and controlling officer of Defendant Fifth Avenue Communications, Inc. and Relief Defendant AGE Investment Company. Williamson is also an officer, director or undisclosed person of New Horizons, Andros Hotel and Casino, Inc., and Net World Marketing, Inc. ú Fifth Avenue Communications, Inc. (Fifth Avenue), is a domestic business corporation formed in 1996 within the State of New York, but operated by Williamson from Wichita, Kansas. A purported public relations firm, Fifth Avenue operates an Internet website known as www.stocksfifthavenue.com which is registered to Williamson. ú Net World Marketing, Inc. (Net World), is a Nevada corporation formed in 1997 with its only officer being Williamson's wife, Georganna Williamson. Net World claims to operate an Internet shopping mall. Edward Williamson is an authorized signatory for a Net World bank account. ú Andros Hotel and Casino, Inc. (Andros), is a Nevada corporation. Andros claims to own two tracts of undeveloped land located in the Caribbean. Its headquarters is an office in Wichita, Kansas that is also utilized by Net World and Fifth Avenue. ú AutoAuction.com, Inc. (AutoAuction), is a Nevada corporation. The Fifth Avenue website claims that AutoAuction operates Internet car auctions. ú AGE Investment Company (AGE), is named solely as a relief defendant. It is located in the same Wichita, Kansas office as Williamson and the other corporate Defendants. Williamson is the sole officer of AGE, and the AGE bank records indicate that AGE received $307,806 of Net World investor proceeds for no apparent consideration. In its lawsuit, filed today, the Commission sought and the Court granted emergency orders: (1) freezing the assets of the Defendants; (2) freezing the assets of Relief Defendant AGE, received, directly or indirectly, from the activities described in the Commission's complaint; (3) requiring the Defendants and Relief Defendant to furnish an accounting of monies raised from investors; (4) prohibiting the destruction of documents; (5) authorizing expedited discovery; and (6) appointing a receiver to recover assets for the benefit of investors. The Commission's lawsuit alleges that from at least April of 1997 to the present, Defendant Williamson organized a fraudulent scheme involving the Defendants, who singularly or in concert, fraudulently sold $1.3 million of securities to over 1000 investors nationwide. The lawsuit alleges that the Defendants provided investors with false and misleading information, and failed to disclose information that was material. During the course of the securities sales, investors were not informed of the key role Williamson played with the Defendant companies. This nondisclosure was significant because of Williamson's extensive criminal and regulatory history which includes: a 1997 wire fraud conviction for attempting to bribe Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents posing as stock brokers; expulsion from the financial services industry by the National Association of Securities Dealers in 1993; a 1992 conviction for felony theft of funds from his elderly mother; and a 1967 conviction for murder. In connection with his 1997 wire fraud conviction, the Commission, on June 13, 2000, ordered Williamson to cease-and-desist from committing securities fraud and barred him from participation in penny stock offerings. Additionally, the investors were falsely told that the proceeds from these offerings would be used by the companies for legitimate business purposes. The lawsuit alleges that the approximately one-half of the $1 million raised in the Net World offering, alone, was siphoned off and misappropriated by Williamson and other persons and entities connected with him Following the unregistered sales of common stock of Andros, Net World and New Horizons, Defendants caused the stock of Andros and AutoAuction to be publicly traded, as penny stocks, through listings on the Pink Sheets. The Defendants then attempted to manipulate the value of the securities by disseminating false information via the Internet and press releases. The SEC's complaint charges that Defendants violated Section 17(a) of the Securities and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Further, the complaint charges that Defendant Williamson failed to comply with the terms of the Commission's June 13, 2000 Order Making Findings, Imposing Remedial Sanctions and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order, In the Matter of Edward B. Williamson III, which ordered that Williamson cease-and-desist from violations of 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and also barred him from participating in penny stock offerings. In addition to the emergency relief set out above, the Commission is seeking preliminary and permanent injunctions, disgorgement and civil penalties against all Defendants, and disgorgement from the Relief Defendant. Additionally, The Commission is seeking an Order requiring Defendant Williamson to comply with the terms of the prior order issued by the Commission, as set forth in the Commission's Compliant, and an Order barring him from acting as an officer or director of a public company. The Commission wishes to acknowledge the assistance of the State of Kansas in this matter. The case was investigated jointly by the Commission and the Office of the Kansas Securities Commission. Investors are advised to read the SEC's Cyberspace Alert before purchasing any investment promoted on the Internet. The free publication, which alerts investors to the telltale signs of online investment fraud, is available on the Investor Assistance and Complaints link of the SEC's Home Page on the World Wide Web www.sec.gov.

NET WORLD MARKETING, INC. COMPLETES INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING; (PR Newswire; 04/01/99) Selling 10,000,000 Shares at 10-cents Per Share WICHITA, Kan., April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Net World Marketing, Inc. (NWMI), today announced that it completed its initial public offering (IPO) March 31, 1999, selling 10,000,000 common shares priced at 10-cents per share. The Company said that its offering was oversubscribed and that a number of investors will be receiving a return of their money. The Company said it was limited to the number of shareholders it could add in the offering from certain states and that investor interest in the offering was particularly strong in the states of California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and Washington. Georganna Williamson, President of the Company stated, "We are thrilled with the investor interest and with the level of interest prospective merchants have shown for our unique internet shopping mall, www.networldbuy.com. Our site is active and we are now beginning to add new merchants. Our goal is to offer unique, one-of-a-kind items for the cyber shopper. A merchant can rent a one- page 'cyber-kiosk' in our shopping mall for as little as $50 per month, with a one-time set-up fee of $50. Net World Marketing also receives 5% of the merchants' monthly gross sales. This is a great way for the small merchant or artist to offer products worldwide, literally. And we offer larger 'stores,' with the smallest being one to ten pages, for $180 per month, a one-time set-up fee of $180, and our standard 5% of gross monthly sales. Our cyber shopping center is attracting merchants of all kinds -- artists, crafters, antique dealers, collectors of Furbies, Beanie Babies, stamps, coins, rare books, etc., as well as people with interests as diverse as horses to investment securities! In today's global economy, even a grandmother in Jacksonville can market her arts and crafts to buyers in Japan without ever having to leave her house. "Our Company plans to complete our annual fiscal year-end audit during April. Upon completion, we will apply to the NASD for trading in the 'Pink Sheets.' The 'Pink Sheets' are owned by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., in New York. We are told that 'Pink Sheet' quotes are to be automated this May, which would make them available on-line similar to Bulletin Board quotes. Simultaneous to our application to the NASD, we will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission to become a fully-reporting public company, so that our quarterly reports and audited financial statements will be available on-line through the SEC's Edgar System (www.sec.gov). Once we have received notice that our SEC filing has been cleared, we will immediately request that our stock trade on the Bulletin Board. In the interim, we will pursue the possibility of our stock trading an the internet. Once our stock is trading, we will post our quotes on our web site at www.networldbuy.com." This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby.

How To Spot A Con Artist Investing in securities is risky enough without worrying about whether your salesperson is out to fleece you. To be an informed investor, you must know what danger signs to look for. Some are subtle, and some are easier to spot. Rule Number 1: Con Artists Do Not Like To Be Found Con artists know that being themselves hurts business. Effective con artists must disguise their true motives. Whether your first contact with the con artist is through an unsolicited telephone call or a stranger ringing your doorbell, the con artist takes great pains to look, sound and speak like you or me. Often, con artists like to blend in with others in your group whether that group be political, community (such as the local senior center), religious or other. They quickly get to know a lot of people in the group so they can count on this common bond to spread the word about their questionable investments and reel in unsuspecting investors. Rule Number 2: Con Artists Dress For Success Even though con artists would like you to believe that they are "just plain folk," they are smart enough to realize that this alone will not sway you to part with your money. They work very hard to come across as smooth, professional and successful. Con artists may dress like they are wealthy and work out of impressive looking offices. If your only contact is by mail, the office may bear a prestigious sounding address. Often, this is nothing more than a mail drop. Your best bet is to look behind the surface and do some serious investigating before you part with your money. Rule Number 3: Con Artists Often Push Poorly Understood Financial Products Today, a variety of institutions, from banks to brokerage firms to financial planners, offer a wide range of financial products. With such a confusing mix to choose from, it is no wonder that many people turn to financial advisers for guidance. Con artists know this and stand ready to assume full responsibility for your investment decisions. Don't let them! When it comes to your money, think things through for yourself after getting all the facts. Never give someone control over your purse strings just because you think you are too old, young or financially inexperienced. If you really need help, only deal with financial advisers, broker-dealers or financial institutions with a proven track record. Con artists also appeal to the dreamer in you. Many people secretly believe that Horatio Alger's rags-to-riches story can become a reality for them -- if only they get the right break. To them, investing in untested technologies and cutting edge product s before anyone else does is a sure-fire way to make money. International instruments such as letters of credit supposedly issued by foreign banks may spell stability for some people. Con artists sabotage your dreams. They promise you the investment chance of a lifetime without giving you any meaningful written information on the product or the pitfalls involved. Rule Number 4: Con Artists Bring Out The Worst In You Skilled con artists can bring out your worst traits, particularly greed, fear, and insecurity. Fear comes into play when the con artist warns you that complaining about a failed investment to the government may result in your spoiling it for others or "rocking the boat." Con artist try to make you feel inadequate if you don't believe them. In addition, con artists know how to make you believe that if you lack confidence in them, this is a personal slight to their abilities. If you find yourself making investment-related decisions based only on your emotions, watch out! Rule Number 5: Con Artists Are Fair Weather Friends Before you invest, con artists are very friendly. They take a personal interest in you out of the blue. They call back when they promised they would. Each time, they tell you even more good things about the investment. You may feel you're being pressured into investing. You are. Face it. Despite his or her kind words, the con artist will do anything in his or her power to make a sale. In fact, the contacts may become so repeated that you may wish that your first contact had been your last. Too of ten, however, once you have invested your money, contact with the con artist dwindles and then stops altogether. If you cannot get answers to your questions following your investment, this may signal danger. Rule Number 6: For Every Silver Lining, There Is A Cloud Every investment involves risk. But to hear the con artist explain it, the investment may be too good to be true. Trust your inner voice if you hear claims like these: "I just got a hot tip from an inside source that this stock will go through the roof." "The rumor on the Street is that this deal is ready to take off." "Your return is guaranteed. There's no way you can lose money." "Gotta get in on the ground floor now or you'll be left out in the cold. In fact, we'll send a messenger over tomorrow to pick up your check." (Con artists often use this device to avoid federal mail fraud charges.) "Where else can you earn such a large return? Not in CDs or in a savings account." "In just a short while, your profits will come rolling in." "This deal is so great, I invested in it myself." "If this doesn't perform as I just said, we'll refund your money no questions asked." "Everyone else that invested in this did very well." Be especially careful if the salesperson downplays any downside or denies that risk exists. Con artists usually are not very good at answering important questions. Watch out if the salesperson becomes reluctant to provide information on the following: The background, educational history and work experience of the deal's promoters, principals or general partners Information on whether your investment monies will be segregated from other funds available to the business Written information on the business' financial condition, such as a balance sheet and bank references The prior track record of the business and its principals The salesperson's name, where he or she is calling from, who he or she works for, his or her background and what commission or other compensation he or she will receive The salesperson's connection with the venture and any affiliates In addition, be wary if the salesperson doesn't ask you questions about your past investment experience and your ability to withstand risk. Even if the salesperson does ask a few related questions, take heed if you get the sense that he or she is merely going through the motions. Rule Number 7: Watch Out For The Man From P.O.N.Z.I (Pay-Out now, Zero Imminent) No self-respecting con artist would actually admit that he or she was involved in a Ponzi scheme. The Ponzi scheme was named after Charles Ponzi, an Italian immigrant who, after being jailed in Canada for fraud, moved to Boston in the early part of this century. Ponzi solicited people to invest in International Postal Reply Coupons which could be redeemed for stamps. He promised them a 40 percent return in just 90 days. Ultimately, the authorities discovered that there weren't enough coupons in circulation to support Ponzi's schemes. Ponzi was imprisoned in Massachusetts and then deported to Italy. The scheme he created, however, continues to survive in many forms. In a typical Ponzi scheme, large returns are paid to initial investors out of the funds of later investors. Not only does this give the first investors confidence in the deal, but it motivates others to invest. Unfortunately, the later investors lose all or most of their money to the con artist. If you are promised high, guaranteed profits and given no written explanation concerning the investment vehicle, the promoter's background or the risks involved, be careful. A Ponzi scheme may be at work. Ponzi operators also tend to persuade you to "roll over" your "profits" into still another investment - so your return only ends up being on paper. Rule Number 8: Steer Clear Of Pyramid Schemes Pyramid schemes are a variation of the Ponzi scam. Think of a pyramid. Money is collected from people on the bottom to pay off other individuals farther up the pyramid. As more people invest, new pyramid levels are created, and your position in the pyramid rises. In theory, you would be entitled to more money. Many times, you must also buy a product to join. However, unlike a true multi-level marketing plan, selling the product is less important than recruiting others to join the network. Ultimately, there comes a time when no new money flows in. When this happens, the pyramid collapses. Tips On Not Falling Prey To A Con Artist Avoiding being hurt by a con artist is as easy as doing your homework -- before you invest. Contact your state or provincial securities regulator to see if the investment vehicle and the person selling it are registered. Your state or provincial securities regulator will also be able to tell you if the salesperson has a disciplinary history, that is, whether any civil, criminal or administrative proceedings have been brought against him or her. Contact your local Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been filed against the venture's promoters or principals. Deal only with financial advisers, broker-dealers or financial institutions having a proven track record. Ask for written information on the investment product and the business. Such information, including financial data on the company and the risks involved in the investment, is contained in a prospectus. Read it carefully. Don't take everything you hear or read at face value. Ask questions if you don't understand, and do some sleuthing for yourself. If you need help in evaluating the investment, go to someone independent whom you can trust such as an attorney or an accountant. Steer clear of investments touted with no downside or risk.

SurgiCare, Inc. Terminates Relationship With Fifth Avenue Communications HOUSTON, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- SurgiCare, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: SXCR) a Houston-based ambulatory surgical center holding company (ASC), announced today that it has terminated its public relations and investor relations contract with Fifth Avenue Communications Inc. effective immediately. SurgiCare learned today that Fifth Avenue Communication and its founder, Edward B. Williamson III have are defendants in a civil action instituted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, alleging securities fraud. SurgiCare, which had recently engaged Fifth Avenue Communications for public relations and investor relation's services, decided immediately upon learning of the alleged fraud to cease all dealings, both formal and indirect with the troubled agency. "We were very surprised to hear of the SEC's allegations against Fifth Avenue Communications, Inc.," says Charles Cohen, COO of SurgiCare Inc. "While this alleged fraud in no way involves SurgiCare, we felt that the immediate termination of the PR contract is in the best interest of SurgiCare and its shareholders." About SurgiCare, Inc.

Stockreporter issues with a year 2000 price target of $24-30 per share on Preference Technologies, Inc. – PFER (formerly StockUp.com, Inc. - SKUP) NEW YORK. Preference Technologies™, Inc. (OTC BB: PFER), formerly StockUp.com™, Inc. (SKUP), today received a Research Report from Stockreporter, a leading European financial Internet publication located at www.stockreporter.de. The successful Stockreporter team, which specializes in micro-cap stocks and undervalued companies, is one of the first independent analysts to release an investment opinion on this Internet software firm. Stockreporter initiated coverage of Preference Technologies with a conservative price target of $24-30 per share for the year 2000, based on the explosive business opportunities presented by the Company’s extensive pipeline of second-generation Internet technologies. With a current stock valuation of roughly $12.00 per share, Stockreporter advises that PFER is substantially undervalued and offers investors superior earnings potential over the short, medium and long term. "Preference Technologies represents a phenomenal opportunity for investors to profit as the Internet shifts from first-generation information tools to second-generation technologies," said Torsten Prochnow of Stockreporter. "These technologies will offer significant improvements in customization and will increase website traffic and a site’s subscriber base over an extended period of time." Prochnow explained that Preference Technologies, along with Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq NM: MSFT), is one of the first to recognize the possibilities presented by the Internet’s second generation. Within the eminent industry shift from first-generation technologies, Stockreporter believes that PFER is extremely well positioned to achieve substantial market penetration in the medium term and revenue growth over the long term. The Company has significant advantages through its targeted focus on the business and financial sectors, with additional products designed for leisure segments such as health, entertainment, sports and travel. "Investors stand to benefit tremendously in the short term as the Company rolls out two new products later this week, with long-term earnings driven by the fact that the majority of PFER’s technologies now in the pipeline will be launched by year-end," Prochnow continued. "We foresee initial revenues in the fourth quarter of this year, with the second half of 2001 proving to be a blockbuster period for Preference Technologies in terms of market share and financial strength."

Michael Calderone - Please trust a lying spammer to give you Stock Market tips fortunecity.com Michael Calderone (means a "big pot" in Italian) an east coast fellow trying to make it big in Vegas (just think Elvis played by Joe Pechi) and his little buddy Rys Fairbrother first started spamming via junk email that directed people to their webpages. As we know, spammed webpages don't last too long, although his spammed Verio/Dakota.net pages were up for quite a while. Then with their combined intellect (not saying too much here!), they decided an even better way to spam was to send out phoney press-releases to PR Wire, Business Wire, and Yahoo Biz. These releases contain 100's of popular stock symbols so anyone watching for news on their favorite company would get the junk pointing them to the Stockup.com pages. Lame.

Starnet's wholly owned subsidiary World Gaming Services Inc.
