Post FM Fan Club Victims Bring Out the Big Guns?

May I present: The Internet Fraud Complaint Center (Or, as Bugs Bunny once said, "Ain't I a stinker?")

http://www1.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp

Description:
(IFCC) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C). IFCC's mission is to address fraud committed over the Internet. For victims of Internet fraud, IFCC provides a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of a suspected criminal or civil violation. For law enforcement and regulatory agencies at all levels, IFCC offers a central repository for complaints related to Internet fraud, works to quantify fraud patterns, and provides timely statistical data of current fraud trends.

Collective Ledgie deep breath, everyone. It's kind of heavy.
However, enough is enough-bring out the big guns. I feel that we, as FM Fan Club Members, were terribly screwed, and have been chasing our collective tails. I know many of us have "irons in the fire", so to speak, and are willing to wait to see how things turn out, but every time I come online I read of new ways we are, or have been, misled and shafted again. To those that may say, "let it go, already", I say, if we weren't so upset about it, we wouldn't be bringing it up so damned much. We'd much prefer to go back to our families, and friends, and the music that we love that has brought us all together. We all regret that the "Fan Club Fiasco" occurred-but not as sorry as Jonathan Todd and SabreMark should be to have ever lied to us, taken our hard-earned money and trust, and disappointed us as fans of Fleetwood Mac. Accountability must take place.

Just an idea, and let me know what you all think:
I propose we make a very clear-cut, point-by-point list here of our Fan Club grievances (doubtless many of you already have lists like these). Perhaps we could use this thread as an information clearinghouse, point-by-simple-straightforward-point. Facts only. That list would be used as a basic backbone to refer to, as we fill out our individual complaints (in addition to adding our individual, personal experiences on the complaints.)

Shall we, friends? I believe that 50 complaints, to start out with, would cause enough interest to be raised at the IFCC and an investigation to be started, at least. We've all got the documentation, and we have got a case, you know.

Ideas, comments, anything, anyone? I would like to know that there's some grouping of support- that although we would go in and fill out our forms individually, that we would also be doing it as a group. Because the Internet Fraud Complaint Center may not investigate 10 or 20 complaints as deeply as they would if 50 rolled in about the same company, and focused on the same basic problems and grievances. That's why I suggest we take the time to do it properly, say, over the span of a week?

Hm. Let me know what you think, y'all.

Regards,
Gypsy

p.s. I know seeknpeace posted a link to this a while back, just sayin' thanks.
