Bad Guy Yuki Maeda Scam Fauna Name: (Sergei)

[hhmoore]

I just got back, but I think I can answer that without looking.
Yuki Maeda had a few other accounts, with that name listed - all but sergei have been banned.
ChocolateBacon - "Bryce Coloian" - banned
SetThingsStr8 & two others that were registered this morning (I'm pretty sure both were Hoover + numbers) - I don't recall any of the names; but all of those accounts were deleted rather than being approved, so there is no way of checking.

 

[nickolasanastasiou]

Ah, okay. Thanks.

 

[WebSlave]

Rich, Dennis, and Harald -

Would it be okay if you listed the names associated with the usernames?

So far:

sergei = Yuki Maeda

ChocolateBacon = Bryce Coloian

And so on.

While people can make up new names, it might be useful to get as many of them as possible collected in the thread as a converged resource for the individual in question.

If that request is deemed inappropriate, I would understand and then withdraw, but it seems to me like it would have potential value for those doing research to avoid being similarly scammed as others seem to have been.

----------------------------------------------

As an aside, I find zero plausible deniability remaining for assertions levied against the individual in question after the ChocolateBacon persona's unsophisticated display. The individual in question spent a lot of time casting himself/herself in a somehow even worse light than before.

OK, but it's a pretty tangled weave, and apparently an unrelenting attempt to register more accounts here. I just blocked (by banning this time) a new one under the user name of "emptykegs".

For the record, I don't often care to take the time to do something like this, but in this case SOMEONE seems intent to try to create as many accounts as they can for some reason. So in my opinion, something just smells wrong about what is going on here.

Much appreciated!

I especially like that "Law enforcement" Bryce is located on the west coast using an IP from the east coast,

To me, it smells like a private bet perhaps made with a group of like minded rule breakers.

I'll be back with a different username like everyone else here does.

I work in law and deal primarily with internet crime

My bet is he probably knows quite a bit about internet crime

 

[johnnyb123]

I just wanted to chime in on this thread. This may be my first post but i have been on here since i descovered it and am constantly checking it out. I think the BOI is Great!

 

[misthold]

same here.. members are REALLY good at finding a lot of info..

Saying the BOI does not help.. insulting.. about the only limit is waiting a reasonable, professional amount of time for a resolution.. something that has been warned to posters about.. with a scammer they count on quick multiple get it and out before notice.. so minimum timelines is a down side..to wronged parties and a plus to scammers..

sorry chocolate what ever screen name for such a expert in "internet" crime. A service provider, group, page or heck forum is NOT responsible for members committing a crime..

As chocolate has some concerns about ID theft.. has anyone called Lowell Hospital?? asked if said person is in or been in recent??

Congrats, you guys are so smart! ChocolateBacon's post was one sent to me by my attorney, who has contacted Andrew Covert. IP addresses include mine and attorney's offices. He wanted to be able to access member information on here, which he can only do by being a registered member. Yes, lawyers are allowed to use dirty tricks. None of this is against the law. So where has Mr. Andrew B. Covert been? And mods, try sending Mr. Covert an email to the address has registered. Let me know if it's even a valid email address, then get back to me. He was all talk until my attorney contacted him, and now he's deleting email accounts and not returning any of my attorney's attempts to get a hold of him. He was so confident that I was a scammer, what would he have to hide? Why couldn't he stand firmly and insist the attorney wouldn't find him at fault for anything? Oh, maybe because we found out that he was advertising (and sold) the Nosy Be that I supposedly never sent to him, on craigslist. My attorney has managed to contact the person who purchased him from Andrew Covert, off of craigslist. He sent us the link and forwarded all email communications they have had. He insisted they meet for the sale of this nano mail for $400 on the Purdue University campus, where he's a student. We were able to contact Purdue's Admin office to confirm this. Now, he's got claims filed against him for libel, as well as dissemination of privileged information. Oddly enough, the craigslist link shows "the ad has been deleted by the poster" after my attorney attempted to contact Mr. Covert. Before that, the ad was still live. Even if he deleted the ad, we saved a copy of it, and it wouldn't be hard to contact craiglist's admin to find an ad placed within their system that is of the same posting ID, who the return email address is for, etc.

Speaking of which, Bray's Chameleons hasn't responded either. They were asked where I told them that they sent me sick and dying chameleons, that Andrew Covert has been telling others this, and that we'd like evidence of where this was said. They haven't replied. Why? Because it was never said. I made a comment as to how I must over feed my guys because theirs were the size of my 2 month olds. Literally, I have photos of the ones I got from them, which they claimed to be 4 months, when I first got them. They're unbelievably small for 4 months. But last I checked, calling them small does not translate to sick and dying...

We have been looking into filing claims against this site as well, but that's been easier said than done. Even if we know who the individual admins are, would they all be responsible? Or would the blame just fall on the site owner or manager? Mods, any ideas? We've tried emailing the webmaster's email account, but it seems to just be an automated account.

Anybody else who has decided to participate in acts of libel on here, please do not be surprised when you receive a notice to cut the poop from my attorney. I would likely not take any legal action against each and every member simply for defamation, but at least it would be an eye-opening enough experience for you to realize that it's easy to figure out who you are, and what your contact info is. You can continue to state that I'm making this all up. That's fine - we'll settle the rest in the courtroom. When Mr. Covert and I face off in court, how would the site like to be notified of the outcome, in a way in which you would believe the information?

It's so funny how these people talk like big guys, rambling off negative comments about someone without evidence, but once a real attorney for real legal ramifications are pushed into their face, they hide their tails between their legs and cower in the corner. Boo!

And site admins, please just allow my attorney to open an account on this site so that he can do what he needs to from his account. Please don't make this harder for us. It'd really be much easier if he had access to this site.

Amazing recovery from that "Death bed"!

How about the name of that "attorney", eh?

As someone who's actually worked Network Security (Google AFNOSC), most of that rambling post was laughable.

 

[laterob]

This is like a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

 

[sergei]

You doubters can let me know, what evidence you want. Andrew Covert posted photos of boxes as evidence, and you guys all jump on and believe his story, about how he picked up two packages that weren't even addressed to him?

And with absolutely no evidence of your own, you believe him just because he opened this bad guy thread? Guess I'll just have to go open a bad guy thread of my own for him.

 

[tkevan]

And site admins, please just allow my attorney to open an account on this site so that he can do what he needs to from his account. Please don't make this harder for us. It'd really be much easier if he had access to this site.

Your "Attorney" should have no problem opening an account. His IP is not your IP, unless he's setting at your computer. You see, every device with a MAC address gets its own IP from the provider, via Dynamic IP allocation.

Like to try again??

(it's actually a little more complicated than that, but close enough for Sergei)

 

[sergei]

I was with my attorney when we were trying to set up an account. He sat right next to me and watched me as I tried to register. Omfg. Who guys live in a box? You guys all drones? Can't think for yourselves anymore?

 

[sergei]

I really should not be sharing this

 

[RoyalPythonPros]

I'm no genius but you want us to believe that your attorney was at your computer at 2:54AM EST when his account clearly states he lives in Seattle, WA?
