Every day we receive warnings, scam reports and other disturbing information about traps to part privacy seekers from their hard earned cash. We will publish those warnings here, hoping that it is of some help to our audience.
ALERT: We created a new section within our privacy-forum called 'Caveat emptor', where further cases are published. This is a direct link to it.
Since years there is an outfit on the internet at appleby.net, which is listing some of our domains having been involved to scam the site owner, Renata Hensmann, German, back in 2000. Numerous efforts have been undertaken from our side to get those listings removed, as they plain and simple are libel and far away from the truth. The final word from Renata Hensmann a few years back was: Oh, no problem, please pay my loss (approx. 2000 USD), plus for my time, effort etc, making it 5000 USD!
An outrages effort to extort us, which we of course turned down.
We approached the hosting company, www.tierra.net, but they cover their client Hensmann, although she is in clear breach of the host's TOS.
We have done a quick due diligence on Renata Hensmann and found the following interesting facts about her:
- escaped from German authorities in 1997, warrant for her outstanding (fraud, embezzlement of small investors in Germany, from 1991- 1996, damage 18 million EURO, at that time about 36 million Deutsch Mark)
- She is currently hiding in Jordan, Amman (no treaty with Germany)
- Her web siteswww.appleby.net and www.mideastgate.com are the innocent looking frontpages for a continued fraud and unethical behavior.
We suggest you do not use any of the offered services at www.appleby.net and www.mideastgate.com, even better, stay completely away.
If you want to help privacy.li you may of course write yourself to abuse@tierra.net, complaining about appleby.net.
Buyer Beware!
