I recently received an email from a company titled “Atheist Social” asking for a renewal of membership. Because I do belong to a number of groups that have membership fees, I authorized the charges.
Big Mistake.
AtheistSocial is a part of a larger group which includes 757SocialClub, SPOIO.com, and a multitude of other “companies.” They work out of a “share office” in Virginia Beach, offering no return for the membership services.
SPOIO has no working telephone number and no working email address
In fact, I investigated such an organization in Ft. Lauderdale FL a number of years ago that was pulling the same scam. The FLPD shut them down and filed fraud changes on behalf of some thirty individuals.
If you receive an email from AtheistSocial ignore it. If you find an unauthorized payment from your PayPal account to SPOIO.com, call PayPal immediately. I have contacted the Virginia Beach BBB and will be filing a complaint with the Virginia Beach PD.
If you have received such charges, I urge you to contact the VBPD and file a formal complaint.

You are to return my $20 immediately to my PayPal account. I have already contacted the Virginia Beach newspaper (friends of mine) and the city licensing department. You are not a licensed business, your contact information does not work.

Contact the fucking Virginia State Corporation Commission, friends of yours too? Take your money you fucking idiot. Come to Virginia Beach and talk shit to my face at my contact information address, since it is real and I’ll be hear to kick yopur ficking ass, because I am very real and very capable of wiping that smile off your face.
UPDATE April 4, 2013
Sometimes I wonder about the language people use on their public blogs. This is from a few days ago. Does this man have any sense of what he is doing to himself?
