FIGURING YOUR LOSS/CLAIM

[YMSurvivor]

The reason for this post is that there appears to be some confusion as to what constitutes a legitimate claim for losses.

Again, for your convenience, here is the statement from WLD Admin:

As part of a continuing public service, lawyers within the World Law Direct group are filing fraud and other charges against Kim Inman. Charges will be filed with Attorneys General in two states, and in U.S. Federal Court. If you want your claim to be added to these specific filings kindly provide us with 1) your name, 2) current physical address, 3) current telephone number and 4) the amount you sent to Inman or his entities. Even if you've contacted us before, you must provide this current information or we will be unable to include your claim. Information should be sent at the following link, and there is no charge on this matter: http://www.worldlawdirect.com/asklawyer.php We look forward to working with you.

Open the link given and enter something like this:

"I wish to add my information to the claims against Kim Inman YMMSS/STA

Your name:
Your address:
Your phone number:
Amount of loss $ _____"

Your legitimate loss/claim equals: the total amount of REAL MONEY you originally paid into YMMSS/STA, minus the total amount of REAL MONEY (if any) you received from YMMSS/STA. "Repurchases" and "credits" are VIRTUAL and therefore have nothing to do with the amounts WLD will be seeking for us.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Thanks for posting this I am new and personally very confused.

I am one who did much repurchase out of my account. I see I cant use that and never would try to claim anything not legit. I am devistated though as we put a set amount in and a lot that we purchased from our account. I am beyond words and dont know If its worth it to me now. Thanks for all the help.

I didn't mean to imply that anyone here would intentionally do anything illegitimate, only to point out the guidelines of what will (and won't) be sought for us. We can't expect WLD to go after money that only existed in a virtual state ...

As Cheryl pointed out in another thread, that was the name of Kim's dastardly game, convincing us to "let it roll" so victims would remain lulled into thinking their money was really still doubling. If you Google "cult psychology," you will find some very familiar descriptions. Truly despicable.

It's too bad we will never be (able to be) recompensed for the dreams we were sold - but surely, it's worth adding your claim, no matter how small? It's such a simple procedure ...

Additionally, many scam artists take on a new identity and start new scams even before the old ones have closed. Who's to say Inman hasn't already done that? Did anyone here get emails for Bring-Your-Buddy? And how about that "Rescue Plan?" Apparently, those who still believe are dumping money into that!

We can stop the scammers by learning our lesson and refusing to participate. Meanwhile, thank Goodness for WLD.

Thanks YM survivor. I feel embarrassed that I thought I could claim that I really truely thought it was ok . I know you didnt imply anything negative and have been here to help us all. Its just not worth the small amount now I would actually get back. Please continue being the caring and informative person you have been in this forum. I wish you well.

No need to be embarrassed, you simply didn't know! Please keep in mind that this sense of shame is something that scammers commonly rely upon - it prevents victims from coming forward, enabling the conmen to continue!

Plus, IMHO, you're not giving yourself enough credit - there were some who "invested" HUGE sums into YMMSS/STA. I mean NO offense to them, because highly intelligent, educated people have been taken in by similar scams. For example, many doctors were drawn into Seed International, Ltd. (which WLD helped prosecute - in that case they were able to seek triple damages) and famed attorney Greta Van Susteren and her husband (among others) were sucked into the Reverend Reed Slatkin scam.

For even a $10 loss, a few minutes to add your name seems like a good hourly wage - especially when compared to the hours and hours of ad reading you must have done?

Also, we must remember that there is a chance that there will be NO funds to recover. For many of us, helping to ensure that Inman isn't readily able to scam again is the main motivation. Adding your claim, no matter how small, will surely count toward that.

Therefore, I would encourage every victim to submit their information. Attorney/client privilege ensures your confidentiality.

Thank You I now have alot to think about. Just didnt look at it that way

Question here would our name If on the suit be availble for Mr Inman to view?

Every individual name? I doubt it. Are you thinking of Alexi Goulobev?

A little something encouraging while we're waiting:
Riverside County's largest-ever fraud case heads for trial
Swindler Sentenced in $8 Million Ponzi Scam

I dont know who that person is? I was asking If Inman would would see or know of our personal identitiy on the suit?
