Here is the guy's CA corporate registration (note the status):

http://kepler.ss.ca.gov/corpdata/ShowAllList?QueryCorpNumber=C2259881

JC SBICCA & COMPANY, INC.
Number: C2259881 Date Filed: 9/1/2000 Status: suspended
Jurisdiction: California
Address
701 PALOMAR AIRPORT RD STE 300
CARLSBAD, CA 92009
Agent for Service of Process
** RESIGNED ON 04/26/2001

And that address also appears on his web site. In an amazing coincidence, that's about three miles from me at the moment, and I was about to do a drive-by and check out the place for you. I know it's not a Mail Boxes, Etc., (now UPS store) but the address was strangely familiar. Yes! It's now the corporate offices for Global Domains, Inc., and I know their two founders and abuse guy because we've been rooting out a nest of spammers over there. (GDI runs the ".ws" top-level domain registry, so any spam you see with a spamvertised site with .ws as an extension can be reported to abuse@website.ws for termination).

I called my contact, in case Sbicca was an employee, and it doesn't seem like he is a current employee, so he must have rented that space before GDI. How he gets snail mail is a total mystery, but con artists don't need snail-mail anyway, I would guess.

If that's a false address, he's going to lose some web sites.

I have one guess, and it involves Sbicca possibly being a recently-terminated ex-employee of GDI, or an alias for somebody who left the company. Hmmmmm, I left some messages around and should hear back by Tuesday. I'll let you know.

Oh, this is precious:

Running an insurance company out of an address he doesn't own.

Evidence of something odd, now I know he was involved in the insurance industry. From the data base of the CA insurance Commissioner:

Hmmm. Make up your own mind.

He has no filings with the San Diego registry of ficticious business names, so his licensing with the state of CA is in jeopardy. He's not an LLC or Incorporated, but his phone with PacBell is listed as an Inc.
