Plimus Scam Class Action Lawsuit
By Matt O’Donnell
“Defendants, in conjunction with third parties, actively promote and profit from an array of websites that purport to offer unlimited access to downloadable digital goods, such as eBooks, movies, TV shows, and video games, all for a low one-time fee,” the Plimus class action lawsuit states. “For this one-time fee, Plimus represents that consumers will receive lifetime access to thousands of digital goods, including bestselling books, newly released movies, current TV shows, and brand new video in games. In reality, these websites do not, in any manner, offer products in the manner advertised.”
According to the Plimus class action lawsuit, Plimus’ marketing campaigns include the “mass production of fabricated consumer reviews, testimonials and fake blogs that are all intended to deceive consumers seeking a legitimate product and induce them to pay. Yet, after consumers pay for access to any of these digital goods websites, they quickly realize that the promotional materials and representations were blatantly false.
The Plimus scam class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all persons in the United States who paid a fee through Plimus to access any of the Unlimited Download Websites found on page 4 of the class action lawsuit document. It is asking the Court award restitution to Class Members, as well as all economic, monetary, actual, consequential, statutory and compensatory damages caused by the Defendants’ conduct.
