Burnt by BurnLounge

FTC sets its sights on BurnLounge (Download Squad)

Sep 2nd 2007 12:26AM I am one of those unfortunate people who was recruited into BurnLounge, a scheme whose "leaders" are as duplicitious as the insidious scheme itself. I paid $600 and was told by Bilbro, one of Rob DeBoer's followers, that my independently-produced music would gain exceptional promoting. Bilbro lied to me; my music did NOT get the promoting promised and I have no recourse to recover my $600. The folks I approached in order to recruit into the pyramid, were smarter than I, seeing BurnLounge for what it is---another way for scammers to make money. The presentations, the meetings, the pressure to recruit other unsuspecting suckers, are all classic characteritics of MLMs--Multi-Level-Marketing scams.
Does the U.S. Government, in this case the FTC, make a habit of suing people with no probable cause? Not likely. It will be a good day when BurnLounge is shut down--- then all those lying manipulators will have to go and get a real job.
