i doubt if they realise the seriousness of the situation and howmany people are reporting them to any and every agency they can find....
The fact that a terms page can not superceide the law also seems lost on them.
This is why some folks initially waved the scam flag, or the "was legit but turned into a scam" flag, because it's not often people who've run businesses in the past (which they have) are *this* dumb.
This level of dumb is almost theatrical, which pushes it toward the edge of "was planned this way" in many folks' sight. While I don't believe they were a scam at the outset, I find this level of stupidity hard to comprehend without some piece of the puzzle we're not aware of yet.
