• https://rvlifestyle.com, Mike Wendland

Nomad Internet has been accused by the Texas Attorney General of perpetuating a $75 million deceptive scheme: "I have secured a temporary injunction with an asset freeze against Nomad Internet to make sure they cannot scam any more unsuspecting consumers," said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxon.

The April 20, 2023 action comes just a few weeks after we and numerous other YouTube RV creators exposed a long list of customer service complaints and controversy about the founder's criminal background.

Here's a video we just did explaining the law enforcement actions taken against Nomad and several of its top officers.

Details of the alleged scam

According to Paxon, the Texas lawsuit alleges violations of the state's Deceptive Trade Practices Act by Jessica Garza, her husband Homero "Josh" or "Jayden" Garza, and the company the couple manages and controls, GEV IO, LLC d/b/a Nomad Internet, "which perpetrated a $75 million deceptive scheme from their home in New Braunfels, Texas."

Paxon said the scheme saw Nomad acquire large quantities of SIM cards from legitimate wireless internet providers, reprogram those SIM cards to avoid detection, and then repackaged the telecommunication equipment for resale.   

"The Garzas mispresented their relationship with the legitimate wireless internet providers, inducing consumers to purchase expensive monthly internet service plans. Upon detection of their unauthorized use, the legitimate wireless internet providers terminated the SIM cards, leaving consumers without internet access.," said Paxon.
