What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Booming Bookkeeping Business over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.
We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.
The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Booming Bookkeeping Business - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.
In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.

What are they trying to censor
Booming Bookkeeping Business (BBB) is one of those online programs that promises financial freedom with minimal effort—just take their course, follow their blueprint, and voilà, you’ll have a thriving bookkeeping business. Or at least, that’s the dream they’re selling. Founded by Bill Von Fumetti, BBB aggressively markets itself as the ultimate shortcut to launching a profitable virtual bookkeeping business, even for those with zero experience.
But like most things that sound too good to be true, a closer look at BBB reveals some serious red flags. From questionable marketing claims to issues with QuickBooks certification, and even allegations of suppressing negative reviews, BBB has developed a reputation that’s far from the glowing image it wants you to see. If this course is really as life-changing as it claims, why is there a growing list of complaints, and why does the company seem so eager to silence criticism?
Questionable Marketing Practices
BBB’s promotional materials are replete with grandiose claims about the profitability and ease of starting a bookkeeping business through their program. Such assertions warrant scrutiny, as they may set unrealistic expectations for enrollees. While the course provides foundational knowledge in bookkeeping and QuickBooks, it may oversimplify the challenges inherent in building a client base and managing a sustainable business. This discrepancy between promise and reality has led some to question the integrity of BBB’s marketing strategies.
Challenges with QuickBooks ProAdvisor Certification
A significant component of the BBB curriculum involves training students to become QuickBooks ProAdvisors, a designation intended to enhance credibility and attract clients. However, numerous students have reported difficulties in having their ProAdvisor profiles listed in the “Find a ProAdvisor” directory—a critical platform for client acquisition. Despite obtaining certification, these individuals found their requests for directory inclusion denied, effectively undermining a key benefit touted by the BBB program. This issue raises concerns about the course’s ability to deliver on its promises and the adequacy of its support for students navigating such challenges.
Allegations of Information Suppression
Perhaps most troubling are allegations that BBB engages in active suppression of negative reviews and adverse media coverage. Reports have surfaced accusing the company of attempting to conceal critical assessments by improperly submitting copyright takedown notices, actions that could constitute impersonation, fraud, and perjury. Such behavior not only raises ethical questions but also suggests a concerted effort to control the narrative surrounding the program, potentially at the expense of transparency and accountability.
Mixed Reviews and Student Experiences
The landscape of student feedback on BBB is varied. While some participants praise the course for its comprehensive content and supportive community, others express dissatisfaction, citing unmet expectations and unforeseen challenges. For instance, certain reviews highlight the course’s thorough coverage of accounting fundamentals and business setup processes. Conversely, critiques often focus on the oversimplification of client acquisition strategies and the underrepresentation of the competitive nature of the bookkeeping market. This dichotomy underscores the importance of prospective students approaching the program with cautious optimism and a critical eye.
Exaggerated Income Claims
Booming Bookkeeping Business frequently markets itself with success stories of students earning six-figure incomes within months of completing the course. However, independent reviews suggest that these claims may be misleading. While some students have found success, many report struggling to land their first client, let alone generate a stable income. The bookkeeping industry is competitive, and the idea that anyone can quickly turn a profit with minimal effort is, at best, an oversimplification—and at worst, a deliberate misrepresentation.
High-Pressure Sales Tactics
Many prospective students have reported being subjected to aggressive sales tactics, including urgent “limited-time” offers that push them to enroll without sufficient time to research the program. These tactics are commonly associated with high-ticket coaching programs that prioritize profit over student outcomes. Once enrolled, students often realize that the course lacks the depth or hands-on support necessary to build a real bookkeeping business, leading to frustration and buyer’s remorse.
Lack of Accreditation and Industry Recognition
Despite positioning itself as a premier bookkeeping training program, BBB lacks accreditation from recognized professional accounting organizations. While it teaches bookkeeping fundamentals, it does not provide an industry-recognized certification like CPA or AIPB (American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers). Without a legitimate credential, graduates may struggle to establish credibility with potential clients, further reducing their chances of success.
Conclusion
While the “Booming Bookkeeping Business” course offers a structured pathway into the world of virtual bookkeeping, it is imperative for potential enrollees to approach with discernment. The program’s ambitious promises, coupled with reports of marketing inconsistencies, challenges in leveraging certifications, and alleged efforts to suppress criticism, cast a shadow over its credibility. Aspiring bookkeepers should conduct thorough due diligence, seek out diverse perspectives, and weigh the potential risks before investing time and resources into this program. Transparency, realistic expectations, and a commitment to ethical practices are essential components of any educational endeavor, and BBB’s adherence to these principles remains a subject of scrutiny.

How This Was Done
The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original

What Happens Next?
Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
