Three sites were quickly shut down recently when the Tennessee Consumer-Affairs division declared that the matrix sites were operating a pyramid scheme.
Abtract-Wallpaper, a matrix site that offered a spot on their prize lists in exchange for the purchase of digital wallpaper designs, closed down first. The owner left a brief message the website, as well as on his two other sites matrix--one.com and million-dollar-matrix.com, instructing members that he intends to give refunds to those who request them. His three sites closed shortly after he received a report from the Consumer-Affairs Division of the Better-Business Bureau stating that he was under investigation for violation of Tennessee-State laws against pyramid schemes.
