So Jeff...You Wanna Be a Cowboy?

[sybian]

To the Dude who said he was me.....I'm on to you!
Your 5 foot 9 or 10 and about 155...I'm 6 foot ,and a square jawed 192...And I don't have a tattoo on my arm like you.
You have longer hair, and wear a Harley Davidson belt buckle...I have a Jar Head, and wear a Trophy Rodeo buckle that I won ,and didn't buy.
You drive a Toyota shit box....I drive a full sized diesel.
You wear Runners..I wear a size 13 and 1/2 cowboy boot...And would never dream of wearing designer jeans.
I also don't stutter when asked how many horses, acres, and cows I have.
You made an appointment with a young lady that is an unpaid member here, and you claimed that you were me.
I'm not sure why you did that, but I'm not impressed, although you did conduct yourself like a gentleman..So I've been told.
Pull that kinda shit again and I'll be phoning you, ....Thats right ,..you left a track or two.
You know who you made your appointment with...You know a little about me from my posts here, and she contacted me through PM on this site.
I'm not sure who you are here..but I do have your cell number, and I'm not the guy you want to see when you look over your shoulder.
If there is any part of this you don't understand....Your welcome to private message me...Don't make me come outta these mountains and tear apart your life......I'll let this slide once, but not again.
And to all the young ladies here....I don't have a cell phone, there is no service for 100 klms....If I contact you ,it will be through here, with a time and number when I'll call you to talk.
I'd also like to know if any of you have seen a client that claimed to be myself and would give you a good review if you "performed" well..That is something I would never do ,or say...I would like to think that I would never conduct myself in such a manner.

:doh: Wooah... someone seems to be short a few brain cells to think he'd get away with this one.
Maybe you should be flattered, Sybian, that someone would want to pass themselves off as you... but really? If you've have the cash to play, why would you need to do that?
:doh: :crazy:

 

[badbadboy]

These unfortunately are things that happen here for whatever reason. An on the ball SP (non advertiser here) pm'd me asking if I had booked a date with here via her email from leolist.

I said nope, not me. Not sure what the guy's motive was but I was as pissed off as you Sybian.

 

[eazy]

Don't mess with Syb.

Talk about piss on the fire & call the dog before you burn him down!!! Get at him, sy!!! :clap2:

OK, Sybian is rightfully angry. But there's another thing here, that in my view makes a bad thing worse. The idiot client did not actually harm the SP. Yet, it would appear that she gave the client's cell phone number to a third party. That third party is now threatening the client.

Does this not bother anyone else? How many potential clients reading this would want to see that SP? Am I the only one who is surprised to see reputable SPs jumping on this crazy bandwagon?

Who threw the first stone? The guy posing as Sybian FFS.

Is it ok to pose as someone and use their good reputation for whatever devious deceptive reason and get out of this thing unscathed?

SP's do communicate with other pooners and other SP's for security and reference checks.

I gave one guy a reference to one of my ATF's after meeting him for drinks etc.

How is "Give me special service or I'll write a bad review" not hurting the SP? Having some asshole pretend to be you while doing it would be especially galling. If the SP has seen the OP in the past and knows what he looks like, why wouldn't she warn the person that the asshole is pretending to be? The asshole needs some help with victim identification.

Hooray for you, for providing cover for an asshole to do his work.

He didn't harm her this time.

Seems that you are....the only one surprised that is. I'm just surprised with all that have been posted on the board about this sort of shit, you would ask that question.

Here's syb, out in the wilds of British Columbia doing his cowboy thing..........so that folks like me can enjoy a good steak when the urge hits.

In the meantime, some hump............is pretending to be him with the ladies. Now, while imitation is supposed to be the sincerest form of flattery and if it had stayed at that...syb probably could have lived with it.

But, when this hump goes the " good review for...... " route, that's a hanging offence. As pointed out, SP's do talk to each other and I for one would be some pissed if I called one of the ladies and was told to hit the bricks because I had an undeserved reputation for trying to trade reviews for.....? Would I go see the SP in question, why the hell not...even if only to say "good job" and buy her a beer.


Plus, you have to consider what he has to go through to get down from his mountains.....after he finds his horse and shirt.....




...it's not like he can Uber...

 

[sybian]

Uncleg.....I need to borrow ten feet of rope.
I'd hate to cut up a good lariat over this...So far he's not responded to me calling him out.
From the PM's from all the lovely Ladies here, and I thank you all....He just may have started to try my boots on.

Well, I guess if you need an alter ego to get out of Moms basement, your's is probably as good as any.....though I've found that if you want to go cowboy, you got to start young.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

I doubt if he will reply. The kind of person who would do something like this is more the run and hide type.

A couple of years ago I had a guy go see a local lady and tell her he was Jethro from PERB. He tried the "If you give me a deal I'll write you a nice review" thing.
I guess she threw him out on his ass.
I only found out about this after she sent me a pretty nasty PM a few days later. She was really pissed and threatened to tell all the lades here about it. Of course I was totally caught off guard by this and it took some "splaining" on my part, including actually going to see her to prove to her I was not the guy who came to see her. She even had me log into PERB to show her I was Jethro.
In the end it did get straightened out.
I've never seen her professionally. She's not my type but we communicate occasionally and she's never heard from him again.

Cheers

 

[Cock Throppled]

This happened to me a few years ago when I was more active on the board.

Fortunately, the first SP the guy picked knew me quite well and knew it wasn't me so shut him down before he got anywhere. She let me know.

I called an SP I had never seen before and she mentioned I sounded different. I asked what she meant and she told me she had a session with a guy claiming to be me, knew about my history, etc from posts on the board. Her description was nothing close to me. He also said he'd post a good review (but didn't say, "If she performed well").

What can you do? I have no idea if other SP's also got visits from somebody claimiing to be me.

How can anyone know imposters aren't trying to get on the good side of SP's by using board identities?

 

[sdw]

If I remember correctly there have been a few active reviewers that were banned for asking for "special pricing" or "special service" for a "good" review on PERB.

One would hope that the person that pulled this scam isn't the one who's actions got them unfairly banned. But we'll never know because very often the SP doesn't know what the active reviewer actually looks like. This scammer was just unlucky because he picked an SP that the OP was a client of and she warned him.

It happened to me about ten years ago. After getting over the shock I proved myself by logging on to perb from her computer. I also showed her my emails.

Might not work for others, and might cause trouble over IP matches, but it worked at the time.

Still don't know why anyone would want to be an underachiever like me LOL

This is a greasy, greasy move. The guy that did this is unaware of etiquette and has little respect for others, and, most likely, himself! He would not be someone I would even shake hands with.

 

[meaghanmcleodDELETED]

Unfortunately, this happens more then we like. It's their way of getting past our screening and quite frankly tells me they are untrustworthy.

The only way you know for sure if it is the board member, is for them to send you a PM SAYING THE WILL BE CALLING YOU AT TELEPHONE #xxx-xxx-xxxx. Other then that we really have no way of determining their true identity and if the are in fact who they say they are.

Sorry this happened.

 

[sybian]

Still no response from him....But most girls are now aware, which makes me feel a little better.
It astounds me how many times this has happened here to other members.....I mean...REALLY?
I'd also like to thank those that supported my decision to post this, it wasn't something I took lightly, nor was it a knee-jerk reaction...I felt it made the Ladies aware, and could possibly flush out a potential problem...I just don't understand what he was thinking.

 

[clu]

So far he's not responded to me calling him out.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest maybe his name isn't really Jeff, so maybe he doesn't even realise this thread is directed at him.

Personally I think the guy's partial number (subject to the usual redaction) should be shared in the PSA section. I would expect other SPs would want to be alerted to potential creepy/suspicious behaviour.

ETA: just because this thread alerts people to a Sybian imposter doesn't mean he won't try it again with somebody else's identity.
