YourFreeMusicDownloads.com - Scammer with a lot of websites and identities

YourFreeMusicDownloads.com is a SCAMRecently I read a news release regarding a website called YourFreeMusicDownloads.Com, claiming to offer free mp3 downloads by filling out surveys.  I figured it was a scam, but I went through the entire process to check it out for myself. 

The website first asks for a valid email address, and the addresses for two friends.  I opted to provide that information with my own email address, which is heavily filtered, and two free email services. 

The next step is to fill out a survey.  I signed up for the first survey on the list, and proceeded to complete every step.  As it turns out, the survey was a legitimate company called YourTopBrands.com, and after signing up for three services they gave me a voucher for a free $100 Visa gift card.

I waited several weeks for access to the mp3 downloads, but received no access code.  I then contacted YourTopBrands.com to ask if they were affiliated with the referring website.  The answer was No.  YourTopBrands.com has never heard of, nor do they have any business relations with YourFreeMusicDownloads.com.  I forwarded this information to contact@yourfreemusicdownloads.com and waited for a response, which never arrived.

I waited several more weeks, and still had no access to the promised mp3 downloads.  However, my inbox now receives hundreds of spam messages per day (graciously filtered at the mail server).  Now that I have established that YourFreeMusicDownloads.Com is indeed a scam, I did some research on Google. 

As it turns out, the same contact phone number and address are listed for several other shady websites located in California.  Top it off with the fact that the retard is a webhosting reseller under the domain svws.net.  The funny part is, the phone number has a Florida area code, and the business that resides at the address listed for YourFreeMusicDownloads.com is actually SK Donut Shop.  Here are the sites I’ve found so far:
