Alec Difrawi Redirect Job Posted Online via Indeed.com and other sites to his
Complaint
Kakebu
Country: United States
The new marketing ploy of Alec Difrawi aka Softrock, Inc. is to hijacked legitimate jobs posted on job sites such as Indeed.com, beyond.com, craigslist.org, juju.com, jobvertise.com, snag.com and many local search engines re-posting these jobs by directing job seekers to his many bogus sites of which some are listed below.
These sites are masquerading as legitimate job search engines when in reality they are fronts for CAREER EDUCATION RECRUITMENT.
Accordingly business must be really good for Mr. Difrawi/Defrawi/Defrawy/Difrawy as he plans on hiring additional staffs of 500 new employees as published in the Orlando Sentinel.

The FTC Guideline: Division of Advertising Practices
The Division of Advertising Practices protects consumers from unfair or deceptive advertising and marketing practices that raise health and safety concerns, as well as those that cause economic injury. It brings law enforcement actions in federal district court to stop fraudulent advertising practices, coordinates FTC actions with federal and international law enforcement agencies sharing authority over health and safety products and services, and monitors advertising and marketing of alcohol, tobacco, violent entertainment media, and food to children. The Division also brings administrative lawsuits to stop unfair and deceptive advertising.
Enforcement Priorities
The Division’s enforcement priorities include:
combating deceptive advertising of fraudulent cure-all claims for dietary supplements and weight loss products monitoring and stopping deceptive Internet marketing practices that develop in response to public health issues monitoring and developing effective enforcement strategies for new advertising techniques and media, such as word-of-mouth marketing;
monitoring and reporting on the advertising of food to children, including the impact of practices by food companies and the media on childhood obesity;
monitoring and reporting on industry practices regarding the marketing of violent movies, music, and electronic games to children;
monitoring and reporting on alcohol and tobacco marketing practices.
Rules and Guides
The Division develops, reviews, and enforces a variety of consumer protection laws, regulations, and Guides, including:
The Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act and the Contact Lens Rule, which increases consumers’ ability to shop around when buying contact lenses;
The Federal Cigarette and Smokeless Tobacco Acts, which require the FTC to review and approve tobacco company plans for rotating and displaying the statutory health warnings on tobacco labels and in ads; and Dietary Supplement Guides, which provide businesses with guidance for claims they make for dietary supplements.
Consumer Protection Initiatives
The Division coordinates and addresses current consumer protection issues with state, federal, and international law enforcement agencies, as well as with industry self-regulation groups. These initiatives include:
working with the Food and Drug Administration to combat fraudulent products on the Internet through joint warning letters; participating on the Inter-agency Coordinating Committee to Prevent Underage Drinking;
convening workshops with other government agencies, businesses, consumer groups, and community-based organizations;
working with sister agencies in other countries to combat the cross-border marketing of fraudulent and potentially harmful health products; and
reviewing referrals for non-participation or non-compliance from self-regulatory groups.
Guidance Documents: Advertising
This guys seems to have gotten a break in-spite this is his second or third offense of him engaging in job scams. He finally has been added to the FTC database. Over the years beginning in 2007, this individual threaten and terrorize online Bloggers. Three bloggers refused to sitcom to his threats. They are Archie Garga-Richardson (Founder of scamFRAUDalert) Investigative Reporter Les Henderson (Canada) and Tabatha Marshal (Founder of Phishbucket.com). He deserve to be in JAIL.

My name Dannye Mello-Thompson and I worked at Softrock, Inc. D/b/a Gigats.com D/b/a Three Stars Media D/b/a Internet Solutions Corporation under Alec Difrawi and Myra P. Nicholson. I participated in orchestrating many of the frauds that have marketed to unsuspecting job seekers as well helped with the legal complaints.
As an employee, I knew better but was promoted along the way and the money was good.
NeJame’s former partner, Thomas A. Sadaka, was suspended recently by the Florida Bar for 91 days. He pleaded guilty to charges from the Florida Bar that he represented clients that came in through NeJame’s firm, while billing through his own firm, Sadaka law. NeJame accused Sadaka of diverting funds from the NeJame firm while Sadaka was a non-equity partner.
Sadaka, of Celebration, initially argued in the Bar’s case that he accidentally signed a retainer agreement that said NeJame Law, when it should have said Sadaka Law. But he wound up agreeing to the suspension through a consent order from the Florida Supreme Court.
NeJame said he only discovered Sadaka’s billing issue when an outside attorney, Tucker Byrd of Orlando, raised questions about an invoice in a case Byrd had taken over from Sadaka.

Breakdown Services sues controversial Internet company.
July 24, 2008
By Halley Bondy
The words "seeking actor" or "auditions by appointment," written by reputable producers, may seem innocuous no matter where they are posted. But when it comes to breakdowns and casting notices, copyright laws and the threat of scams make the source as significant as the offer.
In April, Breakdown Services, a company that has compiled and disseminated script breakdowns since 1971, filed a civil suit in U.S. District Court, Central District of California, against Internet Solutions Corporation, the parent company of the currently defunct website TooSpoiled.com, which has been described as a user-generated site for actors and the talent community. Breakdown Services founder Gary Marsh alleges ISC stole breakdowns for five upcoming features including Beethoven: The Reel Story, Space Buddies, and White Jazz, all of which were licensed exclusively to Breakdown Services. Marsh claimed he received complaints from five casting directors who said their breakdowns were posted on the TooSpoiled site, and many of them had received phone calls or emails from actors responding to the TooSpoiled posting.
Speaking with Back Stage, Marsh said casting directors don't accept actors submissions to breakdowns the actors find on unauthorized sites. "We file these lawsuits to stop these companies from taking our information, selling it to actors, and ripping actors off," said Marsh. "Casting directors aren't looking at these submissions. It serves to frustrate actors and build up false hope."
According to a man identifying himself as ISC media director Mark Davis, TooSpoiled.com was a free, user-generated, ad-supported site for talent scouts, actors, and models, and the administrators had little control over the posted content. "There were disclaimers that [said] were not supposed to post anything copyrighted," said Davis. "But [TooSpoiled users] were as anonymous as someone posting on YouTube."
Davis said TooSpoiled.com was taken down when the lawsuit began because the company had "barely enough [funds] to keep the site going." ISC, according to Davis, is an Orlando, Fla.-based company that operates five other sites: VeriResume, USAVoice, Instant Human Resources, Consumer Resources Bureau, and Titan Website and Gigats, Softrock, Inc., Career Network, Three Stars Media, Monkeyjar, EmploymentMatchcom, Applicanttree.com, Monkeyjar.com, etc. etc
A History of Di-Frauding?
A suit over alleged stolen breakdowns is nothing new. The suit against ISC is the 10th filed by Breakdown Services since the early 1990s, according to Breakdowns lawyer Steven Krakowsky.
However, the suit against ISC is notable because the companys 100 percent shareholder, according to allegations in court documents, is Ayman A. El-Difrawi aka Alec Difrawi aka Ayman A Difrawi aka Alex Simon, one of the most controversial parties in the history of talent-scam lawsuits. El-Difrawi, who also goes by Alec Defrawy and has gone by Michael Difrawi and Michael El-Difrawi, has been charged with illegal taping, child abuse, conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, and misdemeanor assault. El-Difrawi also allegedly played an integral role in the Wilhelmina Scouting Network scandal, one of the largest talent and modeling scams in America.
Headed by Lou Pearlman, former manager of the Backstreet Boys and N Sync, the online network, run under the name Wilhelmina Scouting Network and other names, charged aspiring actors and models up to $2,000 each to upload their headshots into an online database supposedly frequented by top CDs, producers, directors, and agents. El-Difrawi was listed as a principal player in the formation of the scouting network in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pearlman told the Orlando Sentinel in 2003 that El-Difrawi was "the one that put it together."
A two-year investigation by Floridas attorney generals office did not lead to any charges, and Pearlmans companies eventually went bankrupt. Pearlman was recently sentenced to 25 years in prison for scamming investors and major U.S. banks out of more than $300 million through various operations.
According to Les Henderson, who wrote about the Wilhelmina scandal in his book Under Investigation, El-Difrawi was a mastermind of the scam, is still "dangerous," and currently owns the domains of about 3,000 sites.
"He never quits. He is a career criminal," said Henderson, who is currently being sued by ISC for defamation. "Hes figured out, rather than charging people for the chance of a nonexistent job, he gets people to provide their personal information, which then ensures that he has a qualified lead for advertisers."
Keith Kress, a lawyer for Internet Solution Company (ISC) DBA Three Stars Media, declined to comment on El-Difrawi's involvement with ISC or the Breakdown Services suit due to ongoing litigation. El-Difrawi did not respond to Back Stages requests for comment sent through his consulting company, Defrawi Consulting Group.
Case Breakdown
ISC has been the subject of controversy since its inception in 2006. At least one other litigant, Dominion Enterprises, has sued ISC, for allegedly stealing information from Dominions employment website and posting it.
According to the Better Business Bureau of Orlando, 12 complaints have been submitted about ISC, primarily regarding the sharing of information, and the BBB confirms that there have been more than 3,000 requests for its report on the company. Eleven of the 12 complaints have gone unanswered because, according to Kress, the company did not know about them. Kress has responded to one complaint filed by a customer who was concerned that he/she had revealed his/her Social Security number on one of ISCs sites, VeriResume. Kress responded that VeriResume does not ask for Social Security numbers.
However, Davis said ISC is the real victim. He said numerous bloggers and authors such as Henderson have defamed the company by accusing it of scamming its visitors. According to court documents, sites that have posted comments against ISC for perpetrating scams ranging from claiming false clients to soliciting personal information include PhishBucket.org, a database of information about companies that reportedly send suspicious or bogus offers to job seekers; EasyBackgroundCheck.com, which calls itself a "model industry watchdog"; and a currently defunct site called TheTruthAboutISC.com.
In December 2007, ISC sued administrators of PhishBucket.org Tabatha Marshall, EasyBackgroundCheck.com, TheTruthAboutISC.com, and individual bloggers for defamation.
Davis said the site VeriResume, which has received the most complaints, only posts job information from companies that have registered with the site. Davis also said VeriResume never solicited personal information from job seekers except in the interest of contacting employers.
"We believe [the defamation] was started by a programmer who was terminated, and essentially theres been a pile-on," said Davis. "All of a sudden a lot of posts are coming, saying, If you sign up for this company, its identity theft. If I write it enough times on the Internet, I could have you labeled tomorrow as a child molester."
Our Day in Court
According to Krakowsky, a case management conference for the Breakdown Services suit will be held in Los Angeles in late August, and he expects the trial to be held toward the end of the year. In April, ISC filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction because its business is based in Orlando and not in Los Angeles, where the suit was filed. The motion was denied on the basis that ISC was aware that "the brunt of the harm would be suffered in California" and because the TooSpoiled site directed visitors to a corporate office in L.A.
Although Marsh said he cannot comment on ISCs motives in posting copyrighted breakdowns, he said he believes the actions of TooSpoiled were malicious. "These companies are going to continue to rip off actors unless we step in to protect the community," he said. Said Kress, "Were looking forward to our day in court."
Using Web Judgment
Judy Pepper, president of the Better Business Bureau of Central Florida, said consumers must understand that getting a job is not as easy as submitting a rsum online. Here are her tips for avoiding online employment and talent scams:
o Make sure the job-listing site has a privacy policy, and read it carefully before giving any information.
o Make sure the company is public about its contact information.
o Remember, there is a process involved when it comes to getting a job. If someone says, "You're hired!" based on your rsum alone, be suspicious.
o Check the Better Business Bureau website at www.bbb.org for complaints as most complaints relating to Ayman Difrawi and his bogus companies have either been removed or watered down.

Of course, his Attorneys participated in his scheme. To name a few, Attorney Keith E. Kress (Three Stars Media), Attorneys Myra P. Nicholson and Laurance Pino, and most notably Attorney Thomas A. Sadaka, suspended from practice for stealing his former employer clients one of which was Alec Difrawi.
