Internet: Spam Wars hots up.
The advert claims that the scheme has been featured in a publication called "Tycoon Magazine. The only reference to Tycoon Magazine WMLR found was a jpeg of several pages posted to a website called "synervision.com" According to Synervision, we were visitor 2384. Synervision seems to be a simple link site, basically one that collects commissions on referral programmes.
The page that says that US residents can legally pay no tax ever again promotes the use of the "tax statement" instead of a "tax return", saying that only those who receive any form of payment from a government source have to submit tax returns. The full extent of the plan (insofar as it is set out) is at www.taxstatement.com . There is another look at the same point at www.16thamendment.com which claims that the amendment to require income tax was never ratified by a majority of states and therefore there is no power to raise an income tax. Perhaps a US tax adviser can take a look at it and tell us if there is any validity in the claims.
The page for "accelerate your retirement" leads to www.successlinks. com/douglas which claims to be the "Institute of Global Prosperity" and is, it claims, involved in humanitarian projects. Clicking on the link takes the visitor to learn about Global Village Market and Yank Barry - readers will remember these names arose when we examined the Grenadian World International Stock Exchange when considering the problems at First International Bank of Grenada and IDIC .
The "founders" of the Institute for Global Prosperity" are Dan Anderson, David Struckman and Zo LaMantia. The purpose of it is seemingly to sell training courses to those who will then go out and sell advice on tax reduction measures. And, of course, those old standbys "asset protection," how to protect your privacy" and the classic "become lien, levy and judgment proof."
If visitors wish to find become a "non-filer" for tax reasons, they have to buy the Global 1 Audio Seminar which is a 12 hour course including how to use "domestic and offshore trusts and how to use them to dramatically and legally reduce…taxes."

So, to order the Millennium 2000 Package that includes advice on setting up the scheme, you pay USD2800. The Global 1 Seminar costs USD1,250. But once you have paid that, you can attend offshore seminars. If you feel confident that it's for you, you can buy Global 1, and Global 2 and 3 (a total of 8 days seminars after the 12 hour audio seminar) for USD23,625.00 - and then you can sell the products and services you have learned about.
The spam also refers to an article in "Entrepreneur Magazine. This is an article about Muhammad Ali and is PR puff.
The domains are mainly linked through the registrant or administrative contact - Claudia Hirmer - who has several addresses and whose e-mail address varies, including an AOL address that is used by registrant with a non-personal name.
The latest version of this spam to come to us was issued out of an address at "belize.net" and the remove address was at china.com - which is a web server we are seeing more and more. Like most web mail services, china.com is one that it is child's play to fake an identity on - and that's if the spammer bothers. This particular spam invites telephone calls rather than e-mail responses and does not offer a website to visit to find out what it on offer.
Like many, it is identified as spam by the device of including a number in the subject line. Like most that use this ploy, the number is separated from the main subject by a long space - so that the number is not visible in the subject line unless the user widens the column in his in box.
