Consider yourself EXTREMELY fortunate. Countless hundreds, if not thousands, have fallen prey to Stashman / BenzoLee, or whichever of his innumerate alter egos he's using these days. I hadn't heard his name mentioned anywhere in a good 6 months or more. I hope this doesn't mean he's back in full glory and at it again. If you don't mind me asking, how did you run across this scum bag? Did you find that fake forum via Google search, or is he on the prowl on Topix again? Just curious. This guy is a real pro's pro among con men, so I try and keep tabs on him in an effort to head him off at the pass where I can. The only exception being Topix. I've never found many people over there that were willing to listen to logic and reason. In fact, the more you try and warn people over there, the more you're attacked and called a scammer, by the scammers themselves. It's the most ludicrous den of dirty dealings and double crosses that I've ever seen. Well, with the exception of this flea bag hotel we owned once for about 18 months, but that's another story entirely. Anyway, anything you can tell me regarding this bastard's current activities would be helpful and appreciated. With any luck, it might help prevent someone from losing their hard earned money.
Well, despite the fact that they're scum bags of the highest order, I have to give them credit for not being lazy anyway. They have to have spent hundreds of hours cramming that site full of completely fictitious content. If there were some sort of trophy for the world's largest load of horse sh*t, these guys would be the run away winner.
The site at first glance looked like a controlled substance haven for us with chronic pain issues. I did find them on a google search, trying to find the old drugbuyers site. What tipped me off, was the positive comments, and it would be the ONLY comment of that person for the entire site! Yes, stashman and his other pseudonyms spent alot of time putting his scam site together, and no doubt he is a millionaire. Wonder if someone can report him for mail fraud? Cannot get him for selling narcotics, cause he ain't selling that.
You're exactly right. You can't get the DEA interested in fake drug dealers. And by fake, I don't mean fake drugs, but being an imposter and not selling anything at all. Anyway, you're also correct in that he's committing mail fraud, among other fraud related crimes. Unfortunately, there are too many jurisdictional issues to get local or state authorities interested, and on a Fed level, it would have to be the DOJ that brings fraud charges, but with all of the Bernie Madoffs of the world and the like, I've heard credible sources say that unless it's in the tens of millions, or in excess of $500,000 in any one instance (or "customer" in this example), then they simply don't feel that it's worth their time to pursue it. Given the relatively small numbers per case versus the large individual losses incurred in Ponzi scheme type activities, it ratchets up investigation and prosecution costs, which is another detriment to getting LE support on the Fed level. Finally, and as sad as it is, the Feds just don't feel sympathetic towards anyone procuring controlled substances via the internet. As a unit supervisor for a Federal agency once told me, "No one gets promoted for using their budget allocation to chase around scum bags stealing from junkies". His words, verbatim. It's a sad reality, but in this case, the phrase "Caveat Emptor" is all we've got.
Skilled hackers are easy to come by. Unfortunately, it would be a never ending task. This is just one of many phoney forum sites created and operated by this crew. Hack and destroy them all, they'll be cloned and back up within days. A better use of time and resources is in educating and informing people in hopes that they'll heed the warnings and not be tempted by such sites.
Our motto here is you NEVER send more than youre willing to lose!
