McWhortle Enterprises, Inc.




McWhortle Enterprises is an established and well-known manufacturer of biological defense mechanisms. Fortune 500 companies routinely use McWhortle Defense systems to protect their far-flung executives living in dangerous areas. These discreet, confidential safeguards have for years given employees and their families peace of mind.

Now, for the first time, McWhortle Enterprises is offering a product to the general public: the new Bio-Hazard Alert Detector. Running quietly on two double-A batteries, the Bio-Hazard Alert Detector emits an audible beep and flashes when in the presence of all known bio-hazards. The Bio-Hazard Alert Detector, measuring only 3 by 7 inches, is small enough to slip into a man's jacket pocket, a woman's purse or a child's backpack.

The Bio-Hazard Alert Detector works by detecting microscopic levels of hazardous bio-organisms and deadly virus organisms. It can detect even the finest-milled, weapons-grade biohazards from 50 feet, long before the risk of inhalation or cutaneous infection, by testing for the distinctive surface leptins. When equipped with a patented McWhortle computer micro-chip, the Alert Detector has a proven effectiveness of just .02 microns per cubic meter of air. The Bio-Hazard Detector gained instant acceptance in all test markets, which were spread throughout the Midwest. Within hours the product sold out of each store, with no advertising and only word-of-mouth endorsement within each community. Stock prices have soared as the markets have recognized the huge potential of the Detector for combating virus-borne illness world-wide.

I don't know, but we'll put a stop to whatever this is right about now.

NEW YORK — The U.S. government is trying to save investors from themselves. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) created a fake scam Web site to warn investors about real con artists trying to tempt them to cash in on consumers' terrorism fears.
The site, mcwhortle.com, pitches investors a fictional company called "McWhortle Enterprises." It's eerily similar to real frauds popping up all over the Web in the post-Sept. 11 environment.

The make-believe company supposedly has the better mousetrap for the war on terror: the "Bio-Hazard Alert Detector." The handheld gizmo "emits an audible beep and flashes in the presence of all known biohazards" and is small enough to "slip into a woman's purse or a child's backpack," says the site.

Best of all, investors are told, they can get in on McWhortle's "pre-approved" initial public offering that promises to boost their investment "400 times" within three months. Rounding out the site are phony press releases and testimonials from Wall Street analysts, CEOs and customers. But surfers eventually hit this page: "Watch Out. If you responded to an investment idea like this, you could get scammed."

The site, launched in January, is a success, says Susan Wyderko, director of the SEC's office of investor education and assistance. McWhortle has had more than two million hits, and many consumers say it helped them avoid real con artists.

The problem? "We got calls and e-mails from people who were serious about investing," says Wyderko. The site is loaded with telltale signs of investment fraud, such as bogus terms like "pre-approved IPOs." But hundreds of consumers sent investment inquiries — and some even sent their bank account numbers.

Even scarier: The mock site cost the SEC only $50 to put up. Staffers wrote the copy in their spare time. "It's very easy and very cheap to put up a nice-looking Web site," says Wyderko. Emboldened by McWhortle, the SEC is posting more scam sites to warn about other types of scams promising unbelievable returns. The bottom line: Investors should do their homework, warns the SEC. Make sure the company exists and its products are genuine. Check if it's registered with the SEC on the Edgar database. If not, check with state securities regulators. "Our message is be very careful and investigate thoroughly before you spend your hard-earned money," says Wyderko.

Where is the McWhortle moniker from? Wyderko made it up after reading Dr. Seuss stories to her kids. The phony company's equally phony CEO, "Thomas James McWhortle III," is named for her son, Thomas.
