It is alleged that from 2006 to 2008, through fake advertisements placed on legitimate companies' websites, Jain, Sundin and their accomplices deceived internet users into believing that their computers were infected with "malware" or had other critical errors to encourage them to buy "scareware" software products that had limited or no ability to remedy the purported defects. The men deceived victims, through browser hijacking, multiple fraudulent scams and false error messages, into purchasing full paid versions of software products offered by their company, Innovative Marketing Inc., the FBI said. The proceeds of these credit card sales were allegedly deposited into bank accounts controlled by the defendants and others around the world, and were then transferred to bank accounts in Europe. When customers complained that their purchases were actually fraudulent software, call center representatives were said to be instructed to lie or provide refunds to prevent fraud reports to law enforcement or credit card companies.
