The catch is that you give them your money and you get nothing except a massive
credit card bill in return. Complain, and Art Schwartz, the convicted felon who
sent you the email, will threaten to publish your credit card number on the
Internet, and/or report you to the authorities for attempting to steal
software.
Art's site, perfect-shareware.com (and all the various domains which redirect
to it) used to be hosted by Cove Software Systems, a Web hosting company known
in the past for hosting kiddie porn sites [1]. Art himself is a long-term
spammer [2] and convicted felon [3] who's been running this scam for a number
of years [4].
Cove Software was a good match for Art; Cove doesn't mind hosting illegal
sites, and Art runs a criminal enterprise. Cove, as most such hosting companies
go, has run into financial trouble, and recently sold their Web hosting to a
different company, Superb Internet. I spoke with a gentleman at Superb internet
today, who said that unlike Cove, Superb internet does not like spammers or
criminals and will not host for them.
I would suggest that you send a copy of the email you received to Superb at
abuse (at) superb.net
Let them know that the email is advertising a pirate site they acquired when
they bought Cove's assets. You can also give them a call; their toll-free
number is 888-354-6128.
Art's security certificate was revoked some time ago; he has a new one now, and
is using Authorize.net to process credit card transactions.

Hmm. So, I check my email this morning to find a bunch of emails from good ol'

I keep posting information about his scam. About the same time, "Barry

Hey, Art, do you really think that creating bogus email accounts and posting
fake testamonials for your fraudulent "service" will help you any? :)
One of the more amusing parts of Art's pile of emails:
"I have a good housewarming party planed for you! Back off! Don't think for a
minute I will let you get away with what you are doing if you continue libeling
me and your other actions. Do you want to see what I can do to your livelihood,

story from AP that ran yesterday:

Dozens of Internet crime suspects nabbed
By CURT ANDERSON
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A summer-long effort targeting Internet crime has resulted
in dozens of arrests and convictions on charges including use of "spam" e-mail
to steal credit card numbers, computer hacking and online fraud, Justice
Department officials said Thursday.
The suspects were identified during more than 160 federal investigations into a
variety of Internet crimes that victimized about 150,000 people and caused $215
million in estimated losses, Attorney General John Ashcroft said. The
initiative began June 1 and ended Thursday.
Although the arrests make only a tiny dent in overall online crime, Ashcroft
said it was important that law enforcement officials demonstrate they take the
problem seriously. Identity theft alone, he said, costs the U.S. economy an
estimated $50 billion a year.
"This is a series of cases that is designed to signal that we do not believe
the Internet to be off-base for law enforcement," Ashcroft told reporters.
John A. Greco Jr., president and chief executive officer of the Direct
Marketing Association, said the cases targeting purveyors of e-mail spam would
help build trust among consumers about using the Internet to buy legitimate
goods and services.
"For too long, spammers have operated with impunity," he said. "For too long,
they have taken comfort in the shadows of cyberspace."
Announcement of the initiative came one day after the Justice Department
disclosed the FBI had searched homes and an Internet service provider in the
nation's first federal copyright infringement action taken against a
peer-to-peer, or P2P, network, in which users can access files directly from
one another's computer hard drives.
The effort described Thursday, dubbed "Operation Web Snare," produced 103
arrests and 53 convictions during the three-month time frame, although some of
them overlap and some convictions were included in the total for people
arrested before the initiative began. The Federal Trade Commission, FBI, Postal
Inspection Service and foreign agencies were all involved.
Among the cases:
-The June arrests of two men on charges of conspiring to steal a copy of the
entire list of 92 million America Online members, with the goal of selling it
to e-mail "spammers" who would then be able to send members unwanted messages.
-Roman Vega, a Ukrainian arrested in Cyprus, was extradited to California in
June to face charges of buying and selling credit card numbers obtained
illegally from sources around the world, including online merchants and
financial processing companies.
-Jay R. Echouafni, chief executive officer of Orbit Communications Corp. in
Massachusetts, was indicted this week along with five others on charges that he
hired computer hackers to attack his firm's online competitors. Prosecutors say
the attack cost the competitors $2 million and temporarily disrupted Web sites
for the Homeland Security Department and Amazon.com.
-In Utah, R. Mark Pentrack is serving an 11-year prison sentence after pleading
guilty to several charges stemming from a scheme in which he purported to sell
car parts, aircraft parts and other items over the Internet but never delivered
them. Pentrack's victims sent him more than $200,000.

Many people understand that local authorities can't directly intervene in
internet-related scams, theft and soforth if the perpetrator is out of their
district, BUT many con-artists on the Net are also criminals in their
community. Case-in-point: An ebay thief was screwing over buyers on rather
petty items, but one victim wrote to the seller's local police. The cops
could do nothing, but they did file the complaint. The next year a young
girl in his town disappeared. The cops, working with the FBI did the usual
scan of suspects and this petty-thief's name came up. A quick check showed
that he lived near the missing girl. A visit to his home found him missing.
The parents said "She knew that man!" and two weeks later the man was
arrested in another state and today he is in jail for the rest of his life.
So feel free to report it to local authorities anyway.
Chances are that Art already has a local profile to add to.

years ago. This company has been around for a long time. Now I see why very
few people still use Newsgroups (to many nasty kooks). Just use some common
sense. If any company used their card for anything other than they were
suppose to they would be charged back and not make any money. This company
is located in the US, so they would have been caught by now if they were
doing what the kooks have said. The credit card companies fully protect you
anyway and you are not responsible for unauthorized credit card charges. See
links from Visa and MasterCard below. But if these kooks are really 14 years
old none of this is going to make much since they never had a real credit
card anyway.

three way gay relationships? Being an admitted hacker, involved in a gay
marriage and stalker who takes photos of children is highly illegal in
Florida. I am sure you will enjoy your stay in State Prison. I have a few
friends who are prison guards in the State Prison near you, so I will make
sure you get the special attention you need.
About Franklin http://www.xeromag.com/fvabout.html
What to say about me? Hmm. Okay: Let's start with the fact that I'm pierced,
tattooed, jaded, kinky, and polyamorous; I take pictures and dabble in
electronics; and I've been known to blow up donuts.
I've been a computer hacker since the early 1970's, when I got my first
TRS-80 Model I (and a 300 baud modem!).
THINGS I LIKE include thrash and industrial music, body piercing (standard
answers: Both nipples and navel; because I like the aesthetics, why else
would anyone decorate their body?; and yes, of COURSE it hurts, but not as
much as you think); tattoos (standard answers: Yes, on the small of my back;
the Japanese Kanji character meaning "chaos;" and yes, of COURSE it hurts,
probably more than you think); Apple computers (one purple iMac, one
graphite iMac, one Power Macintosh, two Powerbooks, one Apple Lisa, and one
decked-out //C); role-playing games; antique computing machinery; cyberpunk,
and chaos.
Religion and Philosophy
I'm an ordained reverend in the Church of the Subgenius, which means that I
know that the only thing better than Divine Forgiveness is an Excuse. I am
also a practicing Discordian, which means I like tossing the occasional
golden apple into a banquet hall. If you don't know what any of that means,
that's okay...just beware the Stark Fist of Removal.
Work and Play
I own a small graphic design, training, and consulting firm called Obsidian;
and spend nights photographing people and things; writing shareware programs
for the Macintosh; playing chess, pool, and Age of Empires; and occasionally
taking the odd random dive out of a perfectly good airplane while it's
flying. I spend part of my weekends running a role-playing game, loosely
based on Steve Jackson's Generic Universal Roleplaying System.
Home Life
I am a BDSM switch (a who what? Visit my BDSM page if that doesn't make
sense to you); I'm mostly dominant, but not always.

cool. I always find a lot of good tips here, actual user tips that the
manual often doesn't cover. I then save them in a file for future reference.
Guys that get picked on here are usually newbies that some of the

>three way gay relationships? Being an admitted hacker, involved in a gay

Art, Art, Art. You silly, silly man, you can't even get the details right.
My handle is "Tacit," not "Tactic." I'm in a straight three-way relationship,
not a gay three-way relationship--both of my partners are female. And I have no
pictures of children; the youngest model in my gallrty is 22, the oldest 38.
Art's continued to send me emails daily; the most recent round begins "Stop
your Libel & Harassment of me and my company now before it is to late" (I
assume he means "too late") and then, bizarrely, takes an abrupt segue into
weird accusations of child pornography: "Your Child pornography will get you
many years in jail." From there, it takes a turn for the weirder: "But that is
only the tip of the iceberg as they say. If I see any more attempts of you
libeling my business or trying to hurt me or my business in any way I will make
it my life's work to see you put in jail for all your illegal activities. Maybe
you have a rich family who has been supporting your life style because I can't
imagine anyone wanting to do business with you. But once they learn of what you
have really been doing, I am sure you will be cut off."
And believe it or not, that's the most coherent part of the email.
IOn any event, since this issue is now wildly off-topic for this newsgroup, I'm
planning to post all Art's email (with full headers) on the Web, so it'll not
be necessary to clutter the Photoshop newsgroup with this ongoing drama. The
URL will be
http://www.xeromag.com/artschwartz.html
for anyone who's interested in seeing this play out. (It's not up yet, but
should be this afternoon.) That'll spare those newsgroup readers who're
uninterested in Art and his doings from having to skip over these threads.
On a related note, I'm definitely interested in hearing from anyone who's
received any of Art's spam promoting his "business," or even copies of his spam
(with full Internet headers). If you've received any spam advertising low-cost
or free software, and can email it to me, please contact me off-list.

kids like jjs and his kook friends on this Newsgroup fail to understand
that if a company does not deliver on what is promised you just dispute the
credit card charges and don't have to pay for the service. If there is any
unauthorized credit card charges you are not responsible for the credit card
charges. So there is no way to get ripped off because you will not have to
pay. Would not be any point in paying for an expensive fast Internet Web
Server like this company has if they always had charge backs. I am sure
these kooks can make up all sorts of other lies in response to this. But a
company that has been in business for as many years as this one must be
doing something right or they would have been closed down long ago. Just use
a little common sense

Why would I go out of my way to reward a criminal? Goodness ... I'd have
to be an IDIOT to give a criminal money just because it doesn't come
directly out of my pocket.

this one will do it to a real criminal organization. I don't think the real
criminals will take it so lightly. Two wrongs don't make a right. But try
telling it to them. What goes around comes around. :)

You know, Art, it's hard to make you out when you're whining like a bitch.
Big hand for Art Schwartz, folks, who still hasn't learned that changing
his name and acting like he's someone else isn't going to impress anyone.

Poor Eric, thinks that everyone is just like him... out to impress someone,
anyone.

Yep.

Art, Art, Art. You're as dumb as you are crooked. Don't you know that anyone
who can read newsgroup headers can tell that "Peter Egan" is you? Do you really
believe you're fooling anyone?

Not all credit cards cover all the charges...and besides, anyone who disputes
the charges gets an email from you threatening to report them to the FBI for
software piracy and threatening to post their credit card number publicly,
remember?
Let's see what a real testimonial, not one faked by Art Schwartz, looks like,
shall we? There's an angry "customer" of your phony "business" who has a lot to
say about you here:

(Note: watch the line wrap!)
Give it up, Art. Your fake testamonials are painfully transparent, your phony
personas make the same spelling and grammar errors you do, and your crooked
business is a sham.

There is no justification of software piracy fullstop.
It bleeds resource from software houses, government and local communities.
It smells and smells purty darn powerful too
If individuals require locost software there are fantastic open source
programs available
These include The Gimp (wonderful and great hands on for thosenew to digital
imagery, math and arts - a wonderful blend of technologies and artistic
expression as well as computer sciences) and Open Office.
Academic users may avail themselves of these products for little to no cost
Commercial users may avail themselves for very moderate costs
So, to state it again: there ain't no justification for hacked, cracked or
pirated software. It is illegal fullstop

IOW, no, you still have no idea what "trolling," one of the most universal

You mean, of course, "How many times must I keep pretending I haven't made
a complete fool of myself before anyone believes me."

You don't make the rules, goofball. I play the game like I wish, you get to
respond how you wish. Now take the hook out of your eye again.

That is how you play the game, I have no need to trick anyone. I troll as I
wish and you can suck it up.
