Many years ago Janice Shell was written about in Fortune Magazine.
"October 26, 1998
(FORTUNE Magazine)
The unofficial queen of the cybervigilantes is Janice Shell, a art historian who lives in Milan and got hooked on busting online con men after she was burned in an Internet investment scheme two years ago. A tireless--even obsessive--pursuer of online malefactors, Shell says she spends 12 hours a day trolling the Internet, looking for crooks. Thanks to this single-minded dedication, she has become a celebrity--at least to those who hang out on Silicon Investor."
The Article is very long but Janice is well known for busting scams as well as nodummy and Tenkay. It is educational to read anything they post.

Over the years we have shutdown many OTC scams. There more than a few that have been involved - to name a few Surfcast, Huggy Bear, now we have Yolo... At least a dozen more.
