Those machines weren't cheap at $35,000 each.

Today I found that the website http://www.aed1.com/ is gone, the phone and fax #s ring but aren't answered, no VM ....

The corporation still shows active in Florida.

The listed officer/director:

MACARTHUR, JAMES
2514 HOLLYWOOD BLVD., STE. 200
HOLLYWOOD FL 33020

The number on the junk fax: 800-440-3920
removal: 866-693-2284 (disconnected)

Other numbers:

800-311-1002
954-929-6860
866-669-4371
fax: 954-929-6859


Was this a scam? What happened to those machines?

Was anything actually ever sold and set up?

Or did they take the money and run?

After doing some reading at http://www.ripoffreport.com/results.asp?q1...5=virtual+media (VMS) and http://www.ripoffreport.com/results.asp?q1...7=&searchtype=0 (AED) it looks like they're associated.

I decided to send the summons and complaint, I want to know what's going on with the FTC and I couldn't find anything at their site.

There was a suit filed in NJ district court, but the judge denied the plaintiff's request for default and ordered that AED file a motion for arbitration in FL. Then the FTC thing happened and I guess everything is on hold now.

I saw another case in FL disctrict court, but still get only "page cannot be displayed" for the FL PACER, sent them an e-mail about that.
