Innovative Marketing, Inc. was a fast-growing cyber fraud company based in Ukraina Kiew in the 2000s that primarily developed and sold fake security software (scareware). These software products displayed false warnings of virus infection and encouraged users to pay for the software by convincing them that they needed to purchase a paid version in order to solve the problem. Representative products include WinFixer and XP Antivirus. The company has more than 600 employees, customers in over 60 countries, and annual sales in excess of $100 million. The company also held company trips and other activities, and while on the outside it appeared to be a sound IT company, in reality it was an elaborate international fraud organization. In 2008, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a lawsuit against the company for fraud and ordered an asset freeze and domain injunction, bringing an end to the company's activities. The founders, Shaileshkumar Sam Jain and Bjorn Sundin, are
still wanted internationally by the FBI.
