  • ‘Traffic Hurricane’ Members Beware: Preliminary Injunction Prohibits Traffic Monsoon, Scoville From Benefiting From ‘AdPack’ Businesses

    2ND UPDATE 6:58 P.M. EDT U.S.A. Here’s a news flash for individuals who joined a “program” called Traffic Hurricane with the belief they somehow were helping the defense of Charles Scoville and Traffic Monsoon: Both Scoville and Traffic Monsoon  are “prohibited from soliciting, accepting, or depositing any monies obtained from actual or prospective investors, individuals, customers, companies, and/or entities, through the Internet or other electronic means for Traffic Monsoon or a business model substantially similar to Traffic Monsoon’s sale of AdPacks.” (Bold emphasis added.)

    The quoted passage is from the very first paragraph of a preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Jill N. Parrish March 28 against Traffic Monsoon and Scoville. The order effectively bars Scoville from being an owner, silent partner or beneficiary of an adpack business.

    Though the passage doesn’t specifically reference Traffic Hurricane, it is known that Traffic Hurricane operates over the Internet and surfaced after the SEC brought Ponzi charges against Traffic Monsoon in July 2016 and that Traffic Hurricane traded on a theme of assisting Scoville and Traffic Monsoon with defense costs.

    In August 2016, the PP Blog reported that Traffic Hurricane was a reload scheme targeting Traffic Monsoon participants.

    Huyugadal!!

    Ernie Ganz, a onetime associate of Scoville’s, reportedly is the operator of Traffic Hurricane. Earlier this month BehindMLM reported on a falling out between Ganz and Scoville.

    Peggy Hunt, the court-appointed receiver for Traffic Monsoon, once subpoenaed Ganz, according to BehindMLM.

    Hunt today published the March 28 preliminary injunction that includes the adpack ban.

    Because the prohibition appeared in the very first paragraph of the preliminary injunction, it appears as though the judge, the receiver and the SEC are aware of reload schemes aimed at members of Traffic Monsoon.

    The receivership website today announced that Parrish had “found that Traffic Monsoon, LLC operated as a Ponzi scheme.”

    Some supporters of Traffic Monsoon and Scoville have claimed on Facebook that that never happened.

    This document on the receivership website today says that it did happen, and Hunt urged Traffic Monsoon members to review the March 28 court rulings against Traffic Monoon and Scoville “in their entirety.”

  • Does Mysterious TrafficMonsoon.plus Domain Have A Bogus Comodo Security Logo?

    trafficmonsoonlogoThe last time the PP Blog covered something such as this was in February 2015. That’s when “Moore Fund,” a preposterous Ponzi-board “program” that later vanished with an unknown haul, was using a “Norton Secured” logo unauthorized by Symantec to fool the masses.

    Unfortunately, the masses included members of The Achieve Community, who’d already been ripped off in that preposterous Ponzi-board scam.

    On July 26, 2016, the SEC accused Traffic Monsoon and alleged operator Charles Scoville of Utah of operating a Ponzi scheme that had gathered at least $207 million.

    Like Moore Fund and Achieve Community, Traffic Monsoon was a Ponzi-board scheme. The scheme operated from TrafficMonsoon.com, which now rotates to the website of Peggy Hunt, the court-appointed receiver.

    With TrafficMonsoon.com now under the control of the receiver, a new domain has surfaced: TrafficMonsoon.plus.

    To hear some TrafficMonsoon promoters tell it on YouTube and other web venues,  Traffic Monsoon will start anew at the .plus domain and somehow will rally the membership to defeat the SEC. The .plus site appears to a virtual duplicate of the .com as allegedly operated by Scoville, except for a few edits that claim the “program” now is operating from Finland.

    There have been scattered reports that whoever is operating the .plus site has access to the TrafficMonsoon database, property that may be counted among the seized assets.

    The TrafficMonsoon.plus domain has a “COMODO SECURED” logo in the lower-right corner. When clicked, it resolves to a page on the Comodo site that in part reads, “IdAuthority Credentials not available for this site.”

    As was the case with Moore Fund, the Comodo logo may be a bid to trick visitors to TrafficMonsoon.plus that a well-known global Internet security company is aboard the Traffic Monsoon train — or the train of the purported Traffic Monsoon members trying to reboot an alleged $207 million Ponzi scheme during an asset freeze.

    Comodo did not respond immediately to a request for comment.




  • Some Traffic Monsoon Promoters Are Zeek Clawback Defendants

    trafficmonsoonlogoUPDATED 11:51 A.M. EDT U.S.A. Zeek Rewards’ receiver Kenneth D. Bell had no comment this morning on reports that some Zeek clawback defendants also were participants in Traffic Monsoon, alleged last week by the SEC to have been a Ponzi scheme that had gathered at least $207 million.

    The reports appeared on RealScam.com.

    In March 2015, Bell sued Adrian Hibbert of the United Kingdom, alleging he had received more than $82,000 in Ponzi proceeds from Zeek. Zeek was charged with fraud by the SEC in August 2012.

    Another Zeek promoter listed by Bell as a winner in that scheme — Frank Calabro Jr. of the United States — also promoted Traffic Monsoon. Bell has expressed concern about online pitchmen moving from one fraud scheme to another.

    “Winnings” from MLM or direct-sales fraud schemes may be subject to return through clawback litigation.

    Both Zeek and Traffic Monsoon were purported “revenue sharing” programs. Paul Burks, the operator of Zeek Rewards, potentially faces a long prison term after his conviction earlier this month on multiple fraud counts.

    On July 26, the SEC civilly charged alleged Traffic Monsoon operator Charles Scoville of Utah with fraud. He has not been charged criminally and is believed to be residing overseas.

    Peggy Hunt of the Salt Lake City office of the Dorsey & Whitney law firm has been appointed receiver over Traffic Monsoon. Neither she nor the firm responded immediately this morning to a request for comment on the issue of common promoters between Traffic Monsoon and Zeek.

    The law firm confirmed to the PP Blog last week that there would be a receivership website for Traffic Monsoon, but the site was not yet live. The URL has not been released.

    Some Zeek clawback defendants also were participants in the AdSurfDaily Ponzi scheme. ASD was a “program” similar to Traffic Monsoon broken up by the U.S. Secret Service in 2008 in a highly publicized action.

    In U.S. domestic clawback litigation and in cases filed against non-U.S. residents, Bell has sued thousands of alleged Zeek winners for return of their gains and interest.

    Hunt’s plans with Traffic Monsoon are unclear.

    Hibbert appears also to have a page promoting the “My Advertising Pays” scheme.  MAPS, as it is known, has caught the attention of class-action attorneys involved in litigation against the TelexFree scheme broken up by the SEC and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2014. The litigation also includes Zeek figures.

    TelexFree and Zeek may be the two largest combined Ponzi- and pyramid schemes in history, generating on the order of $4 billion in illicit, cross-border business and affecting hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people.

    The MAPS’ page attributed to Hibbert claims that MAPs operator Mike Deese “has been in the trenches with Zeek, ASD, Banners Broker, Ad Hit Profits, and many other advertising revenue sharing companies some of which continue to thrive and some that are not.”

    AdHitProfits also was a Scoville scheme. BannersBroker was a cross-border fraud that led to arrests in Canada.

    Separately, the Zeek page attributed to Hibbert claims, “If you want to make money and get paid everyday, you have to look at Zeek Rewards and understand how it works.”

    The SEC and federal prosecutors in the Western District of North Carolina said Zeek worked as a Ponzi scheme.
