4Daily scam: sometimes you just have to laugh

There are just some people who simply BEG to be ridiculed and, I am sorry - made fun of. Take Jim Hunt aka Kevin Hewitt of one of the biggest scams to hit the paid to surf industry in 2005 http://4daily.com/. (Please - someone take him to jail for instance…lol)

First he grovels and pleads and begs to his membership to upgrade, compound and otherwise purchase surf levels to keep his business afloat. THEN, after he figured he had gotten all the suckers to buy, he pulls the plug, takes the site down, wipes out all those purchases and membership levels and re-launches 4D as a revitalized site. He calls it a readjustment... a reduction of earnings. Ok - he STOLE from those members.

Naturally, members were not pleased.

They complained. Loudly and on many venues established for people to report complaints and abuse. Some are pursuing the matter on other venues and reporting him to government agencies and law enforcement offices.

Jim/Kevin baby is not pleased. Having raped the members he is now incensed that they dare complain saying it is in the terms of service that they cannot. Rigggggttttt. Like any Judge on the face of the planet is going to honor THAT! Tos is important: establishes the playing field and the rules which everyone abides by. But, really important here: they (the tos statements and what you agree to) must be LEGAL.

So, Jim/Kevin put things in his tos that are not legal in most countries and in most civilized lands. He then steals from his members and now he is upset because they complain. Most people DO object to being raped. To them tell them that it was in the tos that he could do so - well, just plain ludicrous.

Now he is huffing and puffing and threatening to sue everyone and you just have to laugh. Not that what he did was funny. How he is acting is. And very, very sad. But, as no one has control over how Jim Hunt behaves or manages 4Daily, everyone has the right to pursue their own course of redress.

There are many forums, blogs and other venues addressing Jim’s crimes and actions. There are some doing so with humor. This is an example: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/NURSEPOWER/JELLY%20PROJECT/notyou.jpg

Sometimes it takes a good laugh to heal.
