Lying about who you are on a forum is one thing. And happens all the time.
Using that to scam people - including A TEENAGER DEALING WITH SERIOUS MEDICAL ISSUES WHO IS DESPERATE FOR HELP, that’s a different issue. Refunding 1200/1500 for ‘advice’ including a plagiarized workout program is not a fix for this problem.
And I don’t think paying back enough so people won’t call the state attorney general and report you for fraud is restitution, it’s desperation.
If you don’t call the authorities, this is going to happen to someone else. Nobody gets nabbed for selling 150K in fake Krispy Kreme stock, then defrauds people out of thousands posing as a doctor, then just goes clean because they got yelled at on the internet. If the courts couldn’t make him stop, you think this is “making it right”? Be real.
I agree, but I don’t want to be involved with the authorities, I I think I’ve got enough shit to deal with at home
Being in aus doesn’t help me out much either regarding getting involved
No, this won’t stop him, I 100% agree, I actually have a member of my close family who was like this (he’s 100% afflicted with narcissistic personality disorder)… no one talks to him anymore haha
I can almost guarantee no one will receive a refund. If we do I’ll be very suprised
On that note however, please keep in mind for future reference that a title behind ANYONE’S name on a public Internet forum should mean absolutely dick, no matter what the title says.
That’s the absolute best and worse truth about the Internet brother. Anybody can become anything they desire, with no effort whatsoever. Why do you think that I don’t have any social media accounts? It’s because I don’t have the time to parse through the liars to get to the very few who are legitimate, and don’t really care to associate with “friends” (what the hell does this word actually mean in 2020 anyway?) who are in truth as worthless as their online credentials lol.
It’s crazy you are attacking me for proposing the forum director ban a basically admitted liar and con. Who has taken money from members on this forum.
I spend countless hours on this forum and have certain expectations and standards I have in a forum and in life.
Absolutely incredible. I reached out to him via email and he asked me for 3000 dollars. When I refused his offer he said he could do it for 1500. I also refused that offer. I knew some people had payed him and that is terrible. Total con man. My family was watching “catch me if you can” last night and thats what this reminds me of.
I think @ChickenLittle has a valid point, the mods know by now, stuff is probably in the works, let’s drop this ‘ban him now’ shit.
I think people are just forgetting about the nature of the con man and the most IMPORTANT PART OF THE CON - when you are caught, and you will be caught, every con ends, how do you minimize your losses and avoid penalties? So far this guy has people actually giving him an out - if you apologize, if you refund, if you do this, if you do that - and saying they still like him.
YOU DONT LIKE THIS GUY. YOU DONT KNOW THIS GUY. THIS IS PART OF THE CON. Pay back a couple thousand to hold on to tens of thousands.
You may have stumbled on motive and inspiration at the same time. 10-20k over a few years is hardly a living, so maybe it was just the shear thrill of doing bad shit and getting away with it, just like the guy in “catch me if you can”?
Unless you are somewhere like Saudi Arabia or China, the fact that you have used whatever drugs is not a crime. Unless you are caught with them in your possession then nothing will happen.
As for your weed story, there is a chance that you won’t be allowed back into the US. If border security have any info that you have used illegal drugs then they will refuse entry. Since weed was legalized in Canada the US security has started regularly asking people at the border if they have ever used it and if so they are banned from entry. Just to show you how messed up it is, I have an uncle who was charged for marijuana possession back in the 70’s, in Canada, and the charges were eventually dropped. But he can’t get into the US as a result.
