ABOUT THE RECEIVERSHIP
(Phoenix, Ariz. – Aug. 21, 2008) Attorney General Terry Goddard announced the indictment of four individuals for an alleged Phoenix-based telemarketing fraud. The defendants allegedly obtained some $17 million selling fraudulent Internet business opportunities to customers throughout the country.
Brent D. Emerson, 36, of Phoenix, Anthony Kristian White, 30, of Phoenix, Gary D. Murdie, 32, of Scottsdale, and Tiffany Marie O’Donnell, 29, of Mesa, were each indicted on two counts of fraudulent schemes and artifices, two counts of money laundering, two counts of theft, two counts of illegally conducting an enterprise and one count of aggravated taking identity of another.From October 2003 to December 2006, the defendants sold online pharmacy Web sites. In January 2007, after the Maricopa County Superior Court issued a temporary restraining order restricting the defendants’ sales of online pharmacy Web sites, the defendants began selling online travel package Web sites.
The defendants allegedly did business under various names, including Guaranteed Prescriptions, Guaranteed Advertising, Premier Marketing Group and Executive Marketing Group.The indictment alleges that the defendants sold these “online pharmacy” Web sites by means of numerous false representations, including that:
- They had established relationships with major prescription drug manufacturers such as Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer and Merck.
- They had authorization to market and sell online pharmacies to process prescription drug orders over the Internet.
- The purchase of the Web sites was risk-free and came with a money-back guarantee.
- The Web sites could generate commissions in excess of $20,000 per month.
- Web site owners who purchased additional advertising packages from the defendants would have thousands of interested customers directed to their sites by the defendants.
