It could have been prevented months ago

If several of the individuals who were scammed by this guy back in April of this year had only made a small post detailing their experiences that might have stopped him from ripping off some of his other victims for almost $100,000

Instead, we have people now emailing, icq'ing and PM'ing each other about this guy saying how they were ripped off not only by him, but some of his 'associates' and that they didnt want to post anything in case it made them look bad.

Ive also been told that several people 'knew' this guys previous history of scamming (dating back YEARS) and kept that information to themselves because they didnt think it was 'their place' to inform anyone in the industry about this.. Crazy.

Ive had contact with 3 companies so far today that have told me this and im pretty sure that list is going to keep growing over the next few days

As one of our community members said in another thread, only by telling each other when we have a bad experience with an individual or company can we make a choice about whether or not we do business with them in the future.

Just think, a single post could have saved a lot of people, a lot of wasted time and money but that single post never materialized

Basically, if you have reason to think that someone is a scammer or cant be trusted, you dont have to accuse them of doing anything wrong, but, at least get their name out there so others who might have reason to do business with them know about your doubts, you dont have to post on the boards, you can contact people via PM or ICQ then, once you have enough information about wrong-doing, please post it, collectively. You might end up saving someone from a $40,000 chargeback.

It isnt about whether or not YOU look bad by outing a scammer operating in the industry, or about 'drama' (as it is so often called by those that want the information kept quiet) it is about YOU making sure that others dont make the same mistakes in trusting an unscrupulous individual or company.

After all, that is what being part of a community is about, helping and looking out for one another, through the good and the bad.

Hopefully the incidents we have all been made aware of over the last 48 hours will drum the message home that these scammers need to be named publicly and not left to continue festering behind the scenes finding more and more victims to swindle.

If you have documented evidence from elsewhere that someone on the GWW Community or, the industry at large might be a scammer, post it and help people to avoid being victimized like what has happened over the last few months with Pulz, Reece Dylan, and his associates.
