Follow-up on Frozen Midnight

Last month (13th July) I wrote a post highlighting some major flaws in the way Frozen Midnight (or Jamie Timbre) does business, seemingly defrauding innocent customers out of money with claims of DoS attacks, phishing, etc.

Shortly after making the post, I was contacted by somebody claiming to be a fellow school pupil of Jamie at the International Academy in Michigan. That is, until Jamie was kicked out of the IA for ‘hacking’ the school system and forging his grades. Of course, because of his age he’s not named in the article and I had no absolute proof that he was in fact one of the students. This morning however, another person came forward stating exactly the same thing. Hardly just coincidence or copycat — the first person contacted me privately by e-mail.

Since the post, Jamie Timbre has made several spam/blatant attacking comments on my blog, and the blogs of others who backed up or plugged my initial entry. Each time using a fake name such as “Lauren” or “Melanie”, but not bothering to cover his tracks leaving an IP which traces back to the Bloomfield Hills area of Michigan (his locality).

Spamage aside, the post did work as intended. A statement was released by Frozen Midnight (all bullshit, but nonetheless effort was made). Several people have since moved away from Frozen Midnight and Jamie has resorted to looking for cheap work online. Most importantly, more and more people are aware of the risk of going with backstreet hosts like FM and are choosing to spend a little more time and effort looking into the possible hosting solutions.
