Default Federal Agents Raid Suntasia And The Media Blitz That Followed

According to Steve Baker, Director of the FTC’s Midwest Region, this is probably one of THE largest telemarketing scams in recent history. They estimated Suntasia aka Strategia made over $100 million dollars, operated in 18 different locations around Pinellas County, Florida and employed 800 employees.

Consumers complained in near-record numbers about Suntasia’s practices. In total, the FTC collected and reviewed more than 5,000 formal consumer complaints against Suntasia that were submitted to various law enforcement agencies and the Better Business Bureau.

You can't keep scamming people and get away with it. Yes I am very happy they shut down this shameful company. See what happens when you open your mouth and start bragging? Bryan Wolf and the rest of those crooked owners were simply just too over confident and cocky that they would never get caught. Well, well, well they finally were. Buying yachts and living the high life off the backs of innocent people. Chalk one up for the good guys.

So now here it is folks. The media blitz is on for what we all now know as possibly one of the biggest telemarketing scams in history. Click on the links below to see the video of the news stories on the feds bust.

Sadly there is always going to be other "Bryan Wolf's" out there who think they can get away with scamming the public. I am afraid to say that another "Suntasia" like company is always lurking around the corner but for now we can feel safe that our pocket books are out of the reach from these scam artists.
