From the KWWL website .... Cedar Rapids Police have made an arrest after a two year internet crime investigation. The crimes involved genealogy websites. Victims researching family history posted requests for information. Many victims provided financial information. Website operators would bill the victims, who could not cancel their memberships. Today police arrested Elias Abodeely II of Cedar Rapids.. He faces four chages, 1st degree theft, identity theft, money laundering, and ongoing criminal conduct. Police say they expect to file charges against more suspects. www.kwwl.com/Global/story.asp?S=1386145 Enjoy. Jackie

Best Genie news in ages ! Congrats to all those folks who helped Law Enforcement bring Abodeely and his scumbags down!

It is 100% true, as a local I was able to scan the article in so you all could get your justification! Removed Images The thing that truely bothers me about this article, they estimate $14,000 & 200+ victims in 3 years! This is about 1/10 of the whole number. This is why it is so important that everyone file complaints with CRPD, Iowa Attorney General & FBI Internet Fraud Complaint Center. Now is not the time to give up, CRPD is now trying to total up everything and they NEED everyones info. I'm sure even if you received a refund or were told you would, CRPD would still like to know how many people he did take advantage of!! If I can be of any help, do not hesitate to email me Mr_Tipster@yahoo.com

Guess that is all the more reason why _anyone_ that has apparently been taken by (what ever name was used that day) needs to be sure to send a report to the authorities.....

Suggest that you/other affected parties contact the Prosecuting Attorney, offering your data as evidence in any upcoming trial/sentencing agreements. As for getting your money back: Depends on what sentence he gets...maybe "restitution" will be part of it. If YOUR name, address and data isn't in the hands of the Courts, there is no way the Court will know that YOU were one of the scammed.
