Trouble in FarmVille: Facebook, gaming company face lawsuit over deceptive ads

For the players of Mafia Wars, Vampires, FarmVille and a handful of other Facebook games, the temptation of earning "virtual currency" by clicking on the various offers that popped up on the page was too much to pass up. Unfortunately, what these gamers didn't realize at the time was that the advancement of their virtual characters came at the expense of their own personal bank accounts.

Now, some are fighting back by filing a lawsuit against Facebook and Zynga, the maker of the games. The suit, which is seeking class action status, claims that some offers in the games prompted a series of unauthorized charges or triggered enrollments in programs without the user's knowledge. More than 100,000 people fell victim to these offers, losing more than $5 million, the lawsuit claims.

Among several other examples, the lawsuit cites an IQ test that requires the user to provide their cell phone number. After doing so, some were billed for a text messaging service. Another example from the lawsuit involved an offer that asked consumers to sign up for a "risk-free" trial subscription to a green tea herbal supplement program. Yet somehow that trial became a difficult-to-cancel subscription that every month delivered tea and pills from China.

The only named plaintiff in the lawsuit, Rebecca Swift of Santa Cruz, Calif., said she was charged more than $165 for two months' worth of pills and tea before she was allowed to cancel. She said she first tried to cancel during the trial period, for which she was supposed to pay $5.95 to cover shipping.

In a written statement to WalletPop, a Facebook spokeswoman said the company was not involved in the ad placement and didn't profit from it. She also said Facebook has been working to clear its pages of scam ads and the company is committed to fighting the suit.

"The ads in question appeared in third-party applications, were not from Facebook, and provided no benefit to Facebook," she wrote. "However, we are concerned about any potential threat to our users' experience. As a result, we have, and will continue to, take action against both the ad networks and developers who violate our principles or policies. We do not see any merit in this suit and we will fight it vigorously."

Facebook said it is committed to banning ad providers that deliver content in violation of Facebook "principles or policies" and already has cut off four providers.

Zynga, billed as the most popular social gaming company, is in a different situation. Its CEO had the misfortune of being videotaped explaining that his hunger for cash outstripped his interest in keeping his users from being subjected to unsavory offers.

In the video, CEO Mark Pinkus said: "I did every horrible thing in the book to, just to get revenues right away. I mean we gave our users poker chips if they downloaded this ... toolbar which ...I downloaded it once and couldn't get rid of it. We did anything possible just to get revenues so that we could grow and be a real business."

A Zynga spokesperson said the company would not comment on the lawsuit, but said it will no longer let scam ads appear with its games.

"Our mission is to provide users with the best possible experience. We deeply regret any difficulty this may have caused users and to make sure we continue to offer the best user experience, we took all offers down," a Zynga spokesperson said in an email to WalletPop. "We take our responsibility to our users very seriously and will continue to take steps to ensure they have a fun and positive game play experience."

PEOPLE ARE CHANGING THEIR MINDS ABOUT ET’S

There are some of us who are about sharing our experiences.

Time Travel can be done while we are in our body or out of body. There are various ways to achieve a goal to share the universe.

I would like to take various beings with me on trips to experience life on earth in the realized dream state or alpha level but until we get enough intelligent beings understanding the mental capacity and abilities, it will be hard to single out only some to go to the next level of live in the universe. I call this Time Travel. I shall explain the reasons as we go on the path or journey into the unknown called the Xenoverse.

TJ shares what it is like as an Andremedian on earth. Memories shared while doing an MRI is shared for an example of what it is like having the use of various levels of thought.

ET/UFO COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING ANDROMEDIANS AND HUMAN IMMORTALS UPGRADES FOR FUTURE EXPANSION

We may not want to admit that we are programmed in various ways in our present existence on earth.

At one time, the subliminal messages we received in commercials was done away with or outlawed. However, this did not stop the action only in various subliminal ways used on the mass public.

There are still variations used now. Most of those who are subjected to this type of mental programming give their consent.

Some do not consent as we call it in writing. Therefore, I should like to make sure that all those who are aware of subliminal messages make sure that all our ET/UFO Community friends are aware.

There is a level of intelligence that we all have and some may find it an escape from the work, world, and reality that we share on earth.

I always enjoyed my sleep time because of the education that was offered me while I slept. I feel that in some ways on earth that I may have been programmed in the past while working for the government.

A class shows all of us how easy it is to program a being while they sleep. We use it in training in the military and intelligence field.

The mental programming is done in the United States of America. I cannot verify other countries.

All countries that are created on the earth plane at present will be organizing themselves for the future.

Other writers can verify this information with quotes and sources. I shall leave this job up to them who are much better at naming names and quoting what I submit for others to research.

However, I shall admit to the differences in various stages of thought.

I just this week went through various MRI’s for my physical body. I have always been different from most and I have a foreign factoid in my physical body. It is in my spine and is like an enigma to physicians at this time.

While I was in the MRI machine, those who do not know what it is, this is a magnetic resonance imaging machine and it is the latest and greatest used with a Cat Scan. I am sharing this to show how many levels of the mind we can use.

During this MRI, I could hear the loud pounding noise of the machine, I was given earphones to listen to music and I did while the long photos were created. I also was thinking to myself about other things, and a part of me was actually sleeping. I could hear myself snoring, which I hate to admit. That I was conscious at the time of the MRI appointment of this four levels. In addition, I had the other two levels of mind that are always me.
I could know my part, which lied as dormant as the alpha dream state while in the machine, and yet I had the observer.

The Andromedians Observer in me. Alternatively, Andromedan in me as some prefer to spell, was the part of me that records everything that happens to me. The observer that lives inside me as the Supreme Council is input or part that is observing all happens to me on earth.

Now, some of my friends and readers have chosen to stay on the path and share the life journey with me as I grow as one from another planet who actually journals the lifetime experiences on earth.

I know that I can leave at any time whether by death or by spacecraft. To me they take me to the same place but this is based on out of body and near death experiences. I know the difference.

I have been on spacecraft in what we call reality and in the physical or body-mind-spirit on several occasions in my lifetime. This alone should be a well-known story that is shared on the Internet. This is truth and not fiction.

The programming I share with everyone now is based on all of my experiences at various levels of mind while in the awakened state. There is also the dream state.

Last night I was taken into another world. This is common with my out of body experiences aka OBE. I travel at night and enjoy flying around out of body. The near death experience in 1974 was the first controlled death where I could see my body and my spirit as in the movie called “GHOST”/
Since then, it has been easy for me to leave my body. There is also the physical appearance of the spacecraft that has taken me to the above craft where we experience training.

There are some of us who are about sharing our experiences. Whitley Strieber and Brad Steiger are two men who I have a vibration and experience with. I also am connected to Robert Morningstar and Dirk Vander Ploeg. I have a fondness of George Filer and Stanton T. Friedman.
I hope to someday meet Jesse Marcel Jr. although I have a connection to his father as I met him in Louisiana where I was born. A Navy person took me to him in 1975 or 1976. I cannot remember which year it was that I was to make sure Jesse Marcel would come forth with his story.

As long as I am doing what I am supposed to do in life, I am left to my own decisions in life. When I am not doing what I should be doing then may things begin to happen to put me back on the right course. It is as if I am destined to do a certain job on a certain path and I am not to be deterred.

I wanted to share my dream I had last night and parts of it I cannot remember. I remember this time the feeling I had like a yearning to come back to earth which I had never had before. Usually when I dream it is with a purpose and a message from those above.

This time, the trip was for me to see another world and another way of being. I had to step into a certain place and there was a small blue type of placed 6” bottle shaped light on a doorway. It was open to my left except for this blue light. There was a wall to my right that was silver in color. I suspect I was on a spacecraft. I went to this other portal that allowed me to go on board a ship and I saw how slim lined and clean all the rooms were. We each had our own room with a shared toilet in blue and silver. I knew that we were to do our military mission and yet, I still wanted to go back to earth. I was now aware of the yearning for earth and had accepted that I would get homesick. This was the first time; I had this feeling of wanting to return to earth since my death on January 27, 1974.

For reasons, I cannot explain, someone needs to know this part of my journey. I know that I am a writer and journalist for others and the communication officer is the position I accepted in space on Andromeda.

There is something going to happen with the Disclosure of our world and it’s culmination with those of Andromeda.

I suspect that the truth will come out about something similar to the movie “JULY 4th” where there are aliens that come to planets to scavenge the resources and kill the living beings.

We are all programmed to understand that we have a story whether truth or folklore that we come from the heavens above and that a God or God and Goddess created us meaning we are seeded here on earth which was terra formed or created.

We also know that there are beings as the interim or Logos which lives above and have connections to these beings who are definitely Supreme to our level of existence as an intelligent being species.

We know that some beings are like me and can come and go and are taken and some are abducted for various reasons.

We need to begin accepting that we need to decide to communicate all our pieces of the puzzle for the plans for humankind.

I know we have to begin creating more nuclear weapons and laser cannons to use in space. This is something we cannot ignore any longer. TJ

    ETHICS IN GOVERNMENT

    Ethical Procurement
    Ethics dictates that business be conducted with integrity, fairness, and openness, which require open communication within and among both buying and supplying organizations, ensuring a competitive procurement, and thereby give any organization a chance to compete for contracts and win. It seems like a week does not go by without one hearing a story demonstrating lapses in business ethics stories, where lucky contract winners share close friends in strategic places, as was the case of Halliburton, which was awarded billions in federal no-bid contracts during the years when Dick Cheney was its chief executive officer (CEO).
    Recognizing this longstanding problem of competitive procurement becoming the exception, the US government launched the Federal Acquisition Regulation(FAR) more than twenty years ago, to help federal agencies manage procurement more efficiently. FAR is an official document setting forth procurement policies and procedures that US Federal agencies should follow when soliciting offers (bids or proposals) for goods, products, services, or construction from qualified suppliers. Rules are delineated into eight chapters:
    General Information, Definitions, Practices, and Administrative Matters

    In response to competition becoming the exception rather than the rule in procurement, Part 6 of the FAR, Competitive Requirements, incorporated the Competition In Contracting Act (CICA). It seeks to establish full and open competition (FOC) as the standard, in order to eradicate partiality, favoritism, political lobbying, and bribery.
    In light of these corporate scandals and the heightened scrutiny over corporate practices, FAR will have a greater impact on business. It contains key elements that all organizations should be aware of, whether they are conducting business with a government agency, or with private entities. Using the policies and procedures outlined by FAR, we will
    define what exactly is a competitive procurement, its purpose and benefits;
    present the different competitive and non-competitive procurement methods and their supporting processes; and
    detail the two key procurement methods:
    Invitation for bids (IFB), and
    Request for proposals (RFP).
    Competitive Procurement
    Benefits of Competitive Procurement
    The purpose of competition is to benefit your enterprise, and competition should not be promoted for the sake of competition. Indeed, in some cases, it may cost more to enter into a competitive procurement to do business directly with a supplier because of the unicity of the requested products, theinadequacy of other sources, the immediacy of your needs, or the emergencyor legitimacy of circumstances. In other words, competitive procurement should be promoted pragmatism, with other methods thus becoming exceptions.
    Competitive procurement is the contractual acquisition (purchase or lease) by an organization of any kind of asset, whether material (goods, products, or construction) or immaterial (services) with appropriated funds, enabling all deemed responsible sources to compete in a fair and open environment. Competitive procurement is also known as full and open competition (FOC), orcompetitive solicitation.
    While procurement is supposed to bring fairness, impartiality, transparency, and suitability to corporate practices, a competitive procurement process will ensure the highest level of openness, thus maximizing the suitability of the requested assets or services, and the best return on investment (ROI).
