Case Summary: |
Jason P. Christensen started and ran an internet "get out of debt scam" in Richland, Washington from late 2004 through January 2006. Christensen recruited over 1,000 victims from across the U.S. and collected in excess of $1.7 million. Christensen marketed his services under the following business names on the web: Contended Services, Inertia International, Family Financial Services, and Controlled Options. Christensen abruptly left Washington in January 2006 after an acquaintance went to local police about the scam. In April 2008, Jason Christensen was indicted in the Eastern District of Washington on more than 100 counts of mail fraud and money laundering. He is believed to be in California where he has family, and is likely involved in other internet scams. Christensen is believed to travel throughout the U.S. attending money making conferences.
