 UPDATE: European MP "unbelievable" German high school student getting away
with fraud

*April 26, 2010*

Today a German member of the European Parliament said its "unbelievable that
this could happen" to the Gymnasium Querfurt in Germany. Christopher Mettin
a student at the prestigious German high school continues to sell Top-Level
Domains using his schools reputation as a marketing tool. Mettin is an
associate of Herman Xennt a convicted felon in the Netherlands (details at
main story below).

Dr. Hans-Jorg Daumer Principle of the Gymnasium Querfurt said "Christopher
is not commissioned to act on behalf of the Gymnasium Querfurt" and further
stated Mettin would be prohibited from using the schools name to sell
domains.

But to date the principles efforts have been in vein. Mettins
website<http://bit.ly/cUW3Z1>and the
INAIC.com <http://bit.ly/bxsJX7> site run by Herman Xennt continue to use
the schools reputation to sell a questionable product and service to
unsuspecting members of the public.

EU MP Jan Albrecht advises any victims in the fraud contact the German
police directly.
