Default GreenZap-Any one heard of it?

Hey I came across this PayPal like site called GreenZap. It's aiming to become like PayPal and interestingly, it offers an affiliate program thru which you earn money by referring other people to it? It looks like a scam to me.

You guys heard of this GreenZap??

If you Google the name of the owner / founder, "Damon Westmoreland" you will find voluminous information about his history of scamming. He is a PURE scum bag. In the last 2 1/2 years, the longest forum thread in the history of the SCAM.com is all about GreenZap and Damon Westmoreland. Currently he is being investigated by the FBI & IRS criminal investigation division, and at some point (hopefully soon) the FBI will arrest him. Check out the last page or two of the SCAM.com thread, started in April, 2005, now with over 10,000 postings, here:

Westmoreland is located in San Diego. The San Diego based FBI Special Agent investigating the Damon Westmoreland's international crime spree set up a web page just for complaints related to Westmoreland and GreenZap:

Hearing about stuff like this makes me so excited! I want to be a computer forensics expert someday. Perhaps I will bring people like him to justice. =D

First of i want to say that nobody and i mean no company can be like paypal and can beat them because it takes a lot of time to reach the top and to reach the top one has to go through lots of ups and downs and after all these stuffs,paypal has brought them to the place where they are now--worlds number one online payment processor--with almost 100 million people taking their service.

And i never heard of GreenZap you are talking about and above all it's run by a skilled scammer, Damon Westmoreland, who is going to be arrested soon by the FBI.And i don't even want or suggest to use or take the service of a company which is controlled by a dirty scammer.Thanks for the information guys.
