Polish emigrees living in North America? Relatives of Flippy from Torrentz.com, I wouldn’t wonder

Not all the pay sites are scammers, to be fair, some simply sell access to the means to download for a one off charge, hold the hands of the noobs who wouldn’t have a clue otherwise and give them plenty of support. $20 or so isn’t necessarily a high one-off cost to pay for the help it takes to get a noob into P2P.

Good article though

Whoever put that site up (fileclub.info) is a fucken loser and putting up pics of girlfriends and all other info is a personal attack and not news. Whoever believes this crap must have an iq of like 50.

If you believe that katz made it, you are a seriously dumb person.

“their entire network (katz.to/.cd, warez-bb.org, pornbb.org etc)”

Katz do not own WBB you idiot.
They dont even own PornBB, a member of their staff does.

Seriously you dumb shit gtfo, matt and jake are faggots who deserve to die.

EWNET was good though, people were generally very helpful not just with downloads but with techy stuff as well, ah well shame they were greedy.

WOW I had these guys on my ICQ years ago and they are (or were) actually stand-up guys at the time. Yes they were in a shady business overall but if it makes them money why not do it.

I had a chance to talk to one of their other partners/associates and basically this is what he says happened in cliffnotes: They ran a few porn and download membership sites, using clickbank (there are still many out there using clickbank operated by other people) and decided to change to a billing company from ukraine (wtf were you thinking). The billing guys then started charging users even after they called to cancel etc, and/or not letting them cancel overall. FYI the billing is not owned by the same people as the fileclub.info website says.

Anyways he says they are 99.99% certain Katz (a competitor) was the one that published the original fileclub.info website with the pics etc because their entire network (katz.to/.cd, warez-bb.org, pornbb.org etc) dropped HEAVY in traffic and that they were scared of the new software that was being released by Fullreleases.com and the rest of the network.

I will post more if I get any more information on this.

i always suspected it was a scam. the fact that it always came up with an exact result for what ever i was looking for then it told me i had to login to get the stuff made me suspicious…

This is not correct, TorrentfFreak.
Just because some guys lost a few bucks, you link to a site with all their personal information on it.

Frankly, it’s not like they murdered or tortured someone.

For those asking for personal details like addresses, etc. you need to read the comments before posting.

But here’s the link again for you….

The trouble is the community is so full of it’s self that a simple request from a newbie is to flame back with obscene comments etc, so the newbies keep their heads down to avoid the flak and make bad decisions.

To get anywhere in the community you have to do a lot of hard work, searching,googling and most of all know someone who has already done it.

To prove the point, name the best torrent sites for people to go to and I bet there is at least one negative comment which proves the point I am making.

The billing company they used is supposedly ran out of Ukraine. Does anyone have any information on this?

Somehow I doubt you can just “randomly” charge people’s credit cards – to me that sounds like a Mafia play and these guys just don’t look bright enough…
