Posted in: Uncategorized
The Federal Trade Commission is on a mission to protect consumers from unscrupulous mobile marketing. Today, it took aim against text messaging scammers and filed eight complaints against entities that used the promise of Best Buy, Target and Walmart gift cards to harvest personal information.
The texting organizations caught in the FTC crosshairs a host of obscure companies and individuals: AdvertMarketing, Superior Affiliate Management, Rentbro, Jason Q. Cruz (who does business as Appidemic), Rishab Verma (Verma Holdings), Henry Nolan Kelly and Seaside Building Marketing.
The site operators charged are SubscriberBASE Holdings, Jeffrey French, All Square Marketing, Threadpoint, PC Global Investments, Slash 20, Brent Cranmer, Christopher McVeigh (CMB Marketing), Michael Mazzella (Mazzco Marketing). Site operators hired the text message delivery firms to enable the gift card scams, according to the FTC.
