"What's the 411 on this guy? He looks familiar," I asked. "He ran the 'Do It All Travel' scam a while back. He's already on our wall," Val said as she turned and gestured to her left. "He calls this new scheme 'Travelogia.com'. They've already brought some Skybizzers on board." "Standard recruitment commission scheme," Val continued. "A clever idea built around some good software. but little more than a money game." "And let me guess," I said. "The marks are lining up around the block to hand over their cash." Val laughed, "By the thousands! This Gilmer is a charmer - a real ladies man. And a classic MLM huckster" I trained my gun's sight on his Wanted poster hung above, gritted my teeth, and said softly, "He's going down..." Val then said, "You'd better head out on recon."

"You're right, Val. I've gotta move out. We can't let this scam spread. People are very susceptible to these travel scams." "I'll stay here and do more intel. Maintain radio contact," Val replied. I headed out the back door, gazed back at our new radio dish satellite uplink, and turned right across the sand to the dock.

Our new patrol boat was equipped with a rapid fire AG29 mounted machine gun and a Mercury 225 horsepower 4-stroke dual prop inboard motor. We could outrun and outgun any boat in the Caribbean. The WWSN radar and informants within Travelogia had indicated that they were based on one of the eastern islands.

I guided the patrol boat away from the dock and out into the bay. From there I could see the blue skies and the mountains that surrounded our new island home. Almost paradise... Unfortunately, the isolation and lack of government regulation and control attracted numerous MLM scam operations, Internet con artists, and the worst kind of networking marketing swindlers. Adam Gilmer had run this game before - he knew the ropes - and he was surrounded by dozens of lackeys, lemmings and lawyers. This wasn't going to be easy; I was in for the fight of my life!
