WANTED Scam Artist: Abhishek Tripathi of India

April 08, 2008

The chubby dude above claims to be Abhishek Tripathi

 WANTED

Name:  Abhishek Tripathi

Location: India

Alias:  Mukesh Guruchal  (probably many more by now)

Crime:  Scam artist - Has cheated many out of money for website and/or blog work.  He completed my blog but never delivered my website.

Lies:  Pretends to be a 17 year old boy. Claims to be depressed and uses his so-called depression as an excuse for disappearing for months at a time while owing money to people

His final note to me before he ran off into the woods:

- Your refund will be in place shortly. Blog work will be completed within 20 hours from now, with a few new surprise cherries i have for you,…
- Also point changes on your website…
Abhishek

FYI - No updated blog work was ever done.  No website work was ever done. No “surprise cherries”. Nothing.

If anyone has seen this criminal scam artist, please contact me. I’d like to hog tie him and take him to the Counsel of Witches over there in India for a good flogging under a tree. What a jerk!

He’s also been written up HERE and HERE

Here is a LINK to his website where he writes his depression article. Yeah, right.  He’d be far less depressed if he’d pay folks back the money he owes them. And given how fat he is, his depression certainly has not affected his appetite in an adverse way. 

In that article he also lies again about being a boy of 17. What’s up with that???  And claims he was the victim of fraud (he’s really talking about himself victimizing others).

His Mediawick website (business website) is now down due to him not paying the bill. I fully expect that the website above will also be taken down as soon as the bill is due. This trick does not pay bills, obviously.  I guess all the money he scams from folks goes into his belly.

Beware of Abhishek Tripathi, Indian Scam Artist/Web Designer

April 05, 2008

This is the second call for internet scam artist/web developer, Abhishek Tripathi (also known as Abby). He lives in India. Anyone seen this trick?

a. He designed the blog, HickTown Press and I must say he did a great job for me, which is why I trusted him to do some more work for me which he has not delivered on.

b. Initially I used his company to host my blog on his server. However, when my blog went off line one time too many, I switched servers. When I asked him why my blog went offline, he said that the server host he used “accused him” of not paying the bill so they took him offline. Keep in mind that I paid him $100 in advance so where did my money go? Obviously it did not go to paying the bill!

c. The scam came in with a website I was having him design for me. I paid for my blog in advance and he delivered but he did not deliver my website. He had a trillion excuses as to why he was unable to complete it and finally he promised to return to my money. Then he disappeared into the wind.

I actually liked Abby. We became email buddies when he was designing my blog and I enjoyed conversing with him about the differences between India and the U.S., etc.

I knew he had emotional problems though because he kept lying about being 17 years old and though I knew he was lying, I just wrote it off as him being a grown man who refused to grow up. Much like Michael Jackson.

In fact, I recall finding information on him from 3 years ago where he was claiming to be 17. How long can a man remain the same age? So I knew he was disturbed but I liked the quality of his work.

d. He claims to be depressed, which may or may not be true. He is a habitual liar, I’ve discovered. Whenever he disappears and re-emerges, he claims that he was hospitalized with depression. Again, he lies so much that it’s difficult to know the truth from fiction with this character.

e. After he disappeared the last time, I discovered that he has disappeared with the money of quite of few folks. This is how he gets folks. He builds up a trust. Keep in mind that he DID complete my blog. You are reading it at this moment.

In fact, I still don’t believe that Abby started off intending to scam me. I believe he genuinely liked me. The guy spent a great deal of time giving me advice about how to build up the blog, how to use it, etc.

But as he sunk deeper into his web of deception and taking on too much work, he deteriorated into a sad scam artist.

Several of us are going to report Abby to PayPal. It still bothers me because I liked Abby. But the guy is mentally ill and he needs to be stopped from using PayPal in his scams.

Again, if you’ve seen Abhishek Tripathi, tell him that his “depression” will certainly decrease if he stops scamming folks. Surely he’ll feel much better about himself.

Virginia Volner, Accused Scam artist is NO Aunt Bee!

April 03, 2008

  This is the REAL “Aunt Bee”    This is the FAKE ”Aunt Bee!” 

If you believe that pastors are the only ones going astray in these last days, think twice. Virginia Volner is actually a pastor’s wife. But don’t be fooled. Although her congregation said that she reminded them of Aunt Bee from the Andy Griffith show, this woman has been accused of being a notorious scam artist who has bilked at least 30 people in five states out of  FIVE million dollars!

Virginia Volner reminded many people at her Henderson County church of Aunt Bee, the lovable character on “The Andy Griffith Show.”

But a federal fraud indictment says Volner and former Memphis banker Patsy A. Wilkerson conspired for six years to bilk more than 30 people in five states out of $5 million.

One of those people, Jack May, said Volner owes him more than $145,000 after she persuaded him to give her money while she waited to inherit a billion-dollar estate.

Of her claims about an estate, May says, “It was all a lie.”

Volner and Wilkerson, whose attorneys declined to comment, have pleaded not guilty and are scheduled for a May trial.

Meanwhile, May and 28 others are suing Volner and Wilkerson, seeking more than $25 million.

Volner was married to the pastor at Shady Grove Pentecostal Church. May and other plaintiffs met there recently to talk to The Jackson Sun newspaper about the case.

“During Sunday school, (Volner) never failed to talk about how God hated a liar,” May said.

According to the indictment handed down in October, Volner and Wilkerson ran their scheme for more than six years. Some of the alleged victims said Volner claimed she needed money because it was taking a long time to settle the estate but promised to reward them generously once she got her inheritance.

May, 80, said he lent Volner money twice and has had to come out of retirement because of his financial problems.

“The first money she paid back all but $5,000,” said May’s wife, Pat. “That’s why we trusted her the second time. Of course, she had that banker lady backing her, too.”

GO HERE for remainder of article

This broken down gal used every trick in the book to get people’s money, including lying on the Holy Spirit, crying when questioned and witchcraft:

Volner also established a counseling business in Scotts Hill, where she worked as an unlicensed spiritual adviser and psychic, according to the federal indictment against her.

Excuse me, Mrs. No Name, Your Children Need You

January 06, 2008

Excuse me, Mrs. No Name. But if you happen to be reading HickTownPress, would you do me a small favor and return home to your five children, please? I cannot imagine what that man you met on the internet could have told you for you to up and abandon your flesh and blood as you persue a pipe dream. Girl, please. No sex in the world could be that good.

Investigators searched for more information on Friday about a mother accused of leaving her five children and two other children home alone in northwest Harris County while she flew to Nigeria, KPRC Local 2 reported.

The children were found Wednesday night in a home in the 11000 block of Barker Grove at Barker Cypress.

Investigators said the mother left her 15-year-old daughter to take care of four of her children, including a 1-year-old, along with two other children left in her care.

Harris County officials said the children had no money and barely any food, and said the mother was not planning on coming home any time soon. She flew to Nigeria to marry a man she met on the Internet, according to authorities.

Child Protective Services located the children’s grandmother, who lives in New Orleans, and an aunt.

The children were placed in foster homes.

Hey HickTowners, please put a watchful eye out for Miss No Name. She’s over in Africa right now—more than likely being scammed by a creep who has multiple wives, but her butt will be back. Let’s do a stake out at the airport.

Bria and Diva and Dee Love, I’m grabbing my shoes and coat. Let’s go meet that heifer at the airport!

Christians Waking Up to Reality that Blessings Cannot be Purchased

December 29, 2007

The brainwashed segment of the Christian community that honestly thought that they could purchase a blessing from God is starting to wake up. So many Christians world wide have been hoodwinked, brainwashed and bamboozled into believing that if they send in a large enough seed, tithe beyond the 10%, rub on a prayer cloth, give the pastor their mortgage or rent check…basically rub on the belly of the beast, that a blessing would miraculously rain down.

You will see most of the big ministers doing that. Watch TBN and you will see a long line of clownish pimps in the pulpit tricking gullible people, mostly women, into believing that they can purchase their way into prosperity and blessings. It’s really sad. But many are waking up. Check this out:

The message flickered into Cindy Fleenor’s living room each night: Be faithful in how you live and how you give, the television preachers said, and God will shower you with material riches.

And so the 53-year-old accountant from the Tampa, Fla., area pledged $500 a year to Joyce Meyer, the evangelist whose frank talk about recovering from childhood sexual abuse was so inspirational. She wrote checks to flamboyant faith healer Benny Hinn and a local preacher-made-good, Paula White.

Only the blessings didn’t come. Fleenor ended up borrowing money from friends and payday loan companies just to buy groceries. At first she believed the explanation given on television: Her faith wasn’t strong enough.

“I wanted to believe God wanted to do something great with me like he was doing with them,” she said. “I’m angry and bitter about it. Right now, I don’t watch anyone on TV hardly.”

Pause there. Now this is pitiful. This woman was basically lulled into sending huge amounts of money to multi-millionaires like Joyce Myer who can afford to sit on $23,000 toilet seats.

The question is, how do people like Joyce Myer sleep at night? That would really bother me to know that women are not paying bills because they are sending me money in the hope of purchasing a blessing!

And sadly, whenever these panhandling pimps and crooks are questioned, they simply rid themselves of those who can keep them in check:

The checks and balances central to Christian denominations are largely lacking in prosperity churches. One of the pastors in the Grassley probe, Bishop Eddie Long of suburban Atlanta, has written that God told him to get rid of the “ungodly governmental structure” of a deacon board.

Some ministers hold up their own wealth as evidence that the teaching works. Atlanta-area pastor Creflo Dollar, who is fighting Grassley’s inquiry, owns a Rolls Royce and multimillion-dollar homes and travels in a church-owned Learjet.

In a letter to Grassley, Dollar’s attorney calls the prosperity gospel a “deeply held religious belief” grounded in Scripture and therefore a protected religious freedom. Grassley has said his probe is not about theology.

But even some prosperity gospel critics — like the Rev. Adam Hamilton of 15,000-member United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in suburban Kansas City, Mo. — say that the investigation is entering a minefield.

“How do you determine how much money a minister like this is able to make when the basic theology is that wealth is OK?” said Hamilton, an Oral Roberts graduate who later left the charismatic movement. “That gets into theological questions.”

There is evidence of change. Joyce Meyer Ministries, for one, enacted financial reforms in recent years, including making audited financial statements public.

Meyer, who has promised to cooperate fully with Grassley, issued a statement emphasizing that a prosperity gospel “that solely equates blessing with financial gain is out of balance and could damage a person’s walk with God.”

Bynum - Weeks CLOWN Case is on “Dead Docket”: Translation, “Dead in the Water”

December 23, 2007

I’m awaiting word from the newscasters in Atlanta, Georgia regarding what is going to happen in the Weeks-Bynum situation.

I received a tip from a sister named “Covina”. She led me to the FoxAtlanta newsboard where a man named “Not Your Typical Negro” (NYTN) often posts on the Bynum-Weeks situation.

NYTN went to the local courthouse in Georgia to get a copy of the case and an update. What he discovered is that since OCTOBER, 2007 the case has been on “Dead Docket”.

There is controversy over what Dead Docket means, but it appears to mean that the case is closed.

Check this definition out:

“Dead-docketing has been characterized as a procedural device by which ‘the prosecution is postponed indefinitely but may be reinstated at any time at the pleasure of the court.’”1 “‘Placing a case upon the dead docket certainly constitutes neither a dismissal nor a termination of the prosecution in the accused’s favor. A case is still pending which can be called for trial at the judge’s pleasure, or upon which the accused can make a demand for trial.’”2        Source

   Here is the million dollar question. In light of the fact that both of these fighting clowns—Weeks and Bynum, know that the case is postponed indefinitely, why are they parading in front of the media, pretending that they are still in litigation?   What we are dealing with is what we have said all along. Two pieces of garbage met each other, were mentally and physically abusive to one another and deserved each other.

Advice:

1. STOP sending your money to those two fighting CLOWNS

2. STOP supporting those two fighting CLOWNS

3. STOP listening to the false doctrines taught by those two  fighting CLOWNS

Trust me, your life will be better off minus those TWO FIGHTING CLOWNS. When you look back at those perverted lust videos and bizarre, unscriptural lust doctrines that Weeks sponsored (with Bynum’s support), I would not be surprised at all if this mutual combat and abuse was part of their foreplay strategies.

Have You Seen “Psychic”, Miss Donna Miller?

November 26, 2007

     Have you seen this woman?

 

 

It never ceases to amaze me how it is that human beings will open their wallets to give thousands of dollars to quacks. If you think that some of these pulpit pimps out here are the only ones stealing and cheating people out of money, think twice. Psychics are doing a pretty good job of bilking folks too.   People, put your future into the hands of JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth.   Nothing and NO ONE less will do!

Santa Clara County prosecutors are seeking possible victims of a San Jose psychic who is thought to have bilked almost $500,000 from a client whom she promised to have cleansed from evil.

Stop there. Does that make sense to you? Can you imagine emptying out your account to pay a chick who looks like she fell off of a turnip truck half a million to purge you of evil? It is cheaper to go to Jesus. At least He is FREE!

Assistant Deputy District Attorney Stan Voyles said the psychic goes by Lola Miller or Donna Miller, and her customers know her as Miss Donna.

Miller was arrested about a month ago in New Jersey, Voyles said, and was extradited to San Jose, although she made bail. Her next court date is Dec. 5.

Voyles did not know exactly how and why she was arrested in New Brunswick, N.J.  he simply got a call from police there saying Miller was in custody.

Miller was charged with grand theft in Santa Clara County two years ago, and was last known working around Santana Row. Her past listed addresses were 327 Baywood Ave. and 341 Cypress Ave., both in San Jose. Her business card says she’s a reader and advisor   whose specialties include tarot cards, palm readings and who gives advice on all matters of life such as love, marriage and health. She told her victims that God sent her, Voyles said.

Specifically, prosecutors allege Miller bilked about $450,000 from a San Jose woman in her 40s between August 2004 and March 2005. During those sessions, prosecutors say, Miller told the woman her relatives were cursed and she needed to pay money to have that evil cleansed, after verbally threatening the victim. Authorities say the victim gave Miller about $350,000 in cash, and another $95,000 in goods and services. The victim, Voyles said, and her family had more money than people normally do.

If you have seen Miss Donna would you please call the following number:

Prosecutors suspect that there may be other victims of her alleged scams. They are asking that anyone with information, or who may be a victim, to call District Attorney Investigator Dennis Brookins at (408)792-2851.

Tawana Brawley’s Family Says NY “OWES” Their Daughter

November 19, 2007
   Twenty years after her allegations of a racially charged rape became a national flashpoint, Tawana Brawley’s mother and stepfather want to reopen the case, a newspaper reported Sunday.Glenda Brawley and Ralph King want to press Gov. Eliot Spitzer and state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to re-examine the November 1987 incident, which a state grand jury ultimately concluded was a hoax, the Daily News reported.

You would think that they would want to disappear into the sunset and forget about all of this. Why are they re-hashing this hoax?

“New York State owes my daughter. They owe her the truth,” said Glenda Brawley. She reiterated her stance that her daughter was indeed raped by a group of white men who smeared her with feces and scrawled racial epithets on her body.

Hmm….Or does NY state owe her daughter MONEY? Is that what the family is after?

Brawley was 15 when she went missing for four days from her home in Wappingers Falls, about 75 miles north of New York City. After being found, she made the shocking allegation that she had been abducted and raped by six white law enforcement officials.

The case quickly made headlines and drew the attention of the Rev. Al Sharpton, who became an outspoken advocate for the teen.

But a special state grand jury found evidence Brawley had fabricated her story. A former Dutchess County prosecutor who had been implicated in the case later sued Brawley, Sharpton and other Brawley advisers for defamation, winning a $345,000 judgment against the advisers and a $185,000 judgment against Brawley.

A spokeswoman for Sharpton, who was held liable for $65,000 in the case, did not immediately respond to an e-mail message early Sunday. The former prosecutor’s lawyer did not immediately return a telephone message.

Brawley has changed her name and become a nurse, the Daily News reported.

I say let this mess go, please! The truth of the matter is, the girl ran away from home and came up with this grand scheme.  It’s over. Let it go!

Is the Financial Situation Surrounding Jena Six a Fraud?

November 11, 2007

I told ya’ll to stop sending your money to the Jena Six fundany of the funds that are set up for them around the nation. I warned you all that until they can give us some answers AND AN APOLOGY regarding why two of the Jena Six were photographed on their MySpace pages profiling and acting like they had hit the lottery with HUNDREDS of dollars donated by hard working, well meaning citizens, to keep your wallets CLOSED.

Now check this out:

Just weeks after some 20,000 demonstrators protested what they decried as unequal justice aimed at six black teenagers in the Louisiana town of Jena, controversy is growing over the accounting and disbursing of at least $500,000 donated to pay for the teenagers’ legal defense.

Parents of the “Jena 6″ teenagers have refused to publicly account for how they are spending a large portion of the cash, estimated at up to $250,000, that resides in a bank account they control.

source

I still would like to see Mychal Bell released from jail. I would like to see any money donated to the Jena Six fund go directly to lawyers and/or put away for them to go either to college or trade school. However, to just give them money is crazy. And it needs to STOP IMMEDIATELY.

Regarding that organization, Color of Change, don’t send them any money either. Something must be wrong with them if they are insisting on collecting money after being insulted and told to stop collecting it. And quite frankly, the legal bills are taken care of, so what is their purpose at this point in insisting on collecting money for this group of ungrateful, backwards idiots? I really resent them posing in sunglasses and wads of money at the expense of the general public.

Get smart, people. Close your wallets and bank accounts.
