ICM Registry – TheGrandIllusion.xxx?

As screenshotted before, they’re up to their same old games of hiding things. It seems their game is to see how quickly they can beat your readers to the punch. For example, let’s say your name is Amanda Hudson and you post a screenshot, showing proof that their lawyer did the unthinkable; squatted, well, immediately after reading your post, they run over to the Whois website and scramble to change the information. Latest case in point comes to us, compliments of Elliot Ness. What Mr. Ness isn’t aware of is that I actually captured a screenshot (a ‘before’, if you will) of what I had the feeling would lend credibility to my upcoming blog entry, once again, exposing ICM Registry for the liars that they are.

Here’s a copy-and-paste job of his post, along with a before-and-after screenshot, proving this information was indeed changed.

Wow, ICM changes the Whois information for Teaganpresley.xxx just hours after I post my comment to Michael Berkens’ Blog http://www.TheDomains.com but the time still shows that Monica Foster’s .XXX was changed before ICM registry’s example Teagan Presley of how generous they are to the adult performers, They continue to try to manipulate and control any information being put out to the public and when they are caught again and again with errors which are pointed out, they simply change the information to look all correct. I hope Manwin is being so diligent about watching everything that is being put out about ICM Registry and .XXX domains.

Nice try ICM Registry to make others look bad or wrong, good quick cover it all up but the truth always comes out and you can’t keep it all hidden for much longer!

If I had just an ounce of trust in me, where these companies (ICM Registry/Webpower Inc.) are concerned, I might have given them the benefit of the doubt, but I’ve seen what lies they are capable of. Lies and manipulation. Surprisingly, they are bold enough to change the information you see, right before your eyes, as though to say “well it isn’t there now, is it?”. They claim the member was not billed. Bullshit. This system doesn’t ever screw up like that sporadically or they would have been bankrupt a long time ago.  When someone gets caught with their hands in the cookie jar, do they ever admit to ill-intent? No. They try to cover it up, sugar-coat it, protect their own sorry rotten ass!

This is how Webpower solves problems. This is the member info, below that, an e-mail from iFriends/Webpower stating that the problem was fixed. Below that, a screenshot showing a change in that information, so that I can rest assured that they are looking out for my best interest. Look at Fanclub Cancel Date (near the bottom of the form) and compare with the 2nd form. Any programmers out there care to enlighten me on how this is even possible that an ‘automated system’ can screw up this badly? No surprise that they refused to give me a report of my revenues, like I asked right before I left over that financial dispute back in 2009.

 

This appears to be the same bold manner in which ICM also chooses to solve theirs. The one thing they didn’t anticipate with this (and numerous other examples I have saved from my days of being ripped off the 10 years I worked on their platform) was the fact that I have screenshots, page saves, copies and proof of everything in my dealings with these people. Similar behavior. Similar attitude towards adult industry performers, hell they even live and work stones throws away from each other, ICM and Webpower! Yet they continue to deny any connection. I’ve been waiting for the words “I never had internet relations with that company” to surface but sadly, they haven’t … yet.

 

Another great example of how they like to change things (bear with me here; I’m trying hard not to veer too far from the topic), is in a previous blog entry where I pointed out their lawyer Falco squatting and then how they changed the information. You can make things appear any way you want them to look, ICM/Webpower, but when the lights go on, the show’s over!

Fear (part 2)

Fear.
What prevents you from speaking out against people that have wronged you? Fear? Fear of being  criticized. Embarrassment? Made to feel like somehow it was your fault. Scrutinization? Having to defend yourself or dealing with the repercussions of speaking your mind, whether justified or not. Is this what lies at the root of people’s silence? Fear? In this day and age, after wars were fought for our freedom. Such a rich history behind our great nations, and we choose silence over the right to speak our mind?

 
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
- Martin Luther King Jr.

Silence.
The only thing silence ever solved for me was a headache. It’s no way to go through life. Unless, of course, you’re plagued with chronic headaches.

Why, when we, as a society know something is wrong, do we choose to look the other way, questioning not only our instincts but our own eyes and ears? Why, when we know we’re being taken advantage of, do we continue to accept it? Fear of ending up on the losing end of a lengthy court battle? Fear of being called “crazy”, “paranoid”? Fear of having wasted our precious time fighting something noone else cares enough to back us up on? 

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.”
- Mark Twain

Like hell fear is going to stop me from acting on what I feel is important. After all, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Screwed over. Royally butt-ended.

Why do we have to be the victim in order to have any fight in us? To have any desire for justice? To have the strength and agility to move forward on issues that otherwise we’d probably have ignored completely?

I will say it again … Fear could be the ace in the hole, allowing these companies to thrive while potentially getting away with major fraud. After all, who’s to stop them? Our worst enemy, Fear, just happens to be their best friend and greatest ally. The internet itself and the anonymity it provides is the perfect platform to manipulate and mold things exactly the way you want them to look. Some people look at things through a microscope though. They are harder to fool.

Last Night (another asshole instance)

Mr Perfect entered my room last night, with only one thing to say to me in guest chat:

mrperfect: your to fat and to old

It was the last thing typed in my chat. Glad I only noticed this after I had signed off. There are a number of things wrong with this, least of all the use of “your” and absence of an ”o” in the word “too” (twice, I might add, so this was obviously an error of the brain, not the keyboard). They seem to, for the most part, know how to spell simple three-letter words. So, the words “fat”, as well as “and”, plus “old” are their strong suits. Needless to say, it’s refreshing to know I’m not going head-to-head with someone who is my intellectual superior. In actuality, we all know by now who this is. Who stands to gain by seeing me offline? Having me out of the way? Quieted, perhaps?

They continue, oblivious to the fact that I am just not going to obey them or be brainwashed by them. Their games are not working and haven’t in the two straight years they have been harrassing me on Streamate (though their harrassment itself has been occurring way longer than that), so why do they think it will work now?

Signed, “fat” and “old” gal, signing off to go eat a big fat juicy steak dinner with mashed potatoes (drenched in old-fashioned salted butter)!

What’s Taking ICM Registry so Long to Finalize This “Performers Program”?

  I wanted my dot XXX long before they even announced a Performers Program. It was “reserved by ICM” when I went to check its status on Whois website. I hadn’t even inquired about it yet. Someone had reserved it prior to me. I asked about who and that’s when  they refused to tell me. They also refused to let me buy it, though I wanted to, I inquired about it, I even went through the steps to do so under their Sunrise A program but they blocked me. When I asked who tried to purchase it prior to me, they said “that information is confidential”. That’s why they couldn’t let me buy it under Sunrise A; they would have had to tell me who tried to buy it. So, they scrambled to create a Performers Program, a ‘special’ program which denies us access to the records that other customers of dot xxx are entitled to!  They just would not let me buy it! I own the dot com and have grandfathered it. Owned the dot com longer than iFriends/Webpower has owned the dot net of my name. What did ICM do? Rather than let me buy it, they just shoved me into this Performers Program (currently held in an ‘escrow’ account), which the details are still not ready. I’ve been waiting since october to hear something about this program. Nothing. Not a word. Still waiting. I’ve tweeted to them several times, and always the same response “soon”. This is really taking long. Are ICM Registry (and the lawyers they share with Webpower/iFriends) just too busy counting all their ‘chickens’ before they hatch? Perhaps they’re just counting their money, as we perfomers, who are “so important” to ICM Registry, count the days until they finally decide to let us in on the little secret that is their agreement and all the juicy terms and fancy lawyer wording, whose sole intention is to confuse, insult and baffle our minds to the point where we pass out, in a form resembling the mannequins that so cheaply portrayed us in their pathetic ads, trying to convince the world that porn was all moving to .XXX. Like hell it is! Hey ICM, lawyer up all you want, but you’re not dealing with a dummy here, as your ads suggest how low you really think of us performers. Take your cheap degrading, classless, corny, bubble-brained ads and shove them up your ass, where they belong.

 

Anyway, here’s a little humour, from one of the  little ‘mannequin’ people. You might like this, ICM! It should provoke you to want to respond, but please, leave D-Man out of this. He was rather rude and quite transparent. Wouldn’t want to embarrass yourselves further, would you? Let’s not go down that road again. ;)

 

Webpower/ICM Registry Hides Their Lawyer, Sheri Falco

In my previous blog entry, titled “Domains for Squat by ICM Registry/Webpower’s lawyers?”,   http://amanda36c.wordpress.com/2012/01/30/domains-for-squat-by-icm-registrywebpowers-lawyers/ I posted a screenshot which showed Sheri Falco as the registrant, at 2:42pm (est) and they made changes at 4:37pm (est). See the screenshots. It’s all there; even the dates and times of changes made.  Remember, Falco is the lawyer for Webpower (iFriends) and also for ICM Registry. The cam2cam.xxx she was shown as registrant under, shows the dot com belonging to FCI a competing site. Competitor buying competing sites’ dot XXX. ICM Registry’s very own lawyer registering dot XXX sites that compete with the one that she represents as legal counsel? And this is OK with everyone???

 

Here’s a screenshot of the changes that were made, days after I posted the aforementioned blog entry, pointing this out.

A peek back into the archives of the Whois servers will confirm the authenticity of my screenshots.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time that Webpower has chosen to manipulate the way things look, to their advantage. In fact, they did it to me when I worked on their platform, years back by changing how one of my fan club members’ renewals appeared after I complained I was not being paid for a membership fee.

This was uploaded on the 4th of march 2010. The info is much older. This was merely an example of how they cheat, lie, manipulate and steal.

… taken from this page (my report against them I filed with Ripoffreport.com). Dates, info … is all there. That screenshot is on the very bottom of the page. http://www.ripoffreport.com/adult-web-site/1-800-ifriends-ifrie/1-800-ifriends-ifriends-webpo-c9a5f.htm

We know the lawyers are involved, connecting the two companies (ICM Registry, the dot XXX people, along with Webpower/iFriends). As if that isn’t biased enough, I challenge anyone to explain to me how is this not squatting! Why hide your lawyer now, Webpower/iFriends/ICM Registry?
