\"From Bloomberg News
September 28, 2006
The Securities and Exchange Commission is seeking to shut down a network of 25,000
websites, accusing operators of running a $15-million pyramid scheme that promises
to shower participants with easy cash.

Prosperity Automated System, which bills itself as a marketing network, \"is destined
to collapse and leave the vast majority of investors with substantial losses,\" the
SEC said Wednesday.

The complaint targets the network and its creator, William M. Osterhout of Citrus
Heights, Calif.

The websites, with such names as lazyandrich.net and profits4doingnothing.com
typically offer testimonies from people claiming to make thousands of dollars by
buying into the group, the SEC said.

One site says the network \"Showers You with Hands-Free Cash!\"

Visitors to the sites fill out forms and are later called by representatives selling
memberships for as much as $3,895, the SEC said. New members are issued their own
websites and eventually can receive a share of the money when more people buy
memberships via their sites, according to the allegations.

\"Websites that come with the memberships do nothing but sell more memberships,\" said
Stephen Donahue, an SEC enforcement official in Atlanta.

Though some websites offer links to products or services, \"those were attempts to
cloak what is a fraudulent pyramid scheme, giving it the appearance of multilevel
marketing,\" Donahue said.

The defendants\' attorney, D.J. Poyfair, could not be reached for comment.\"
