Steve H. Carney Author makes false claims against everyone he does business with. Rip-off! Denver Colorado

John of writers Universe posted these ridiculous postings several years ago after I exposed his rip-off of me and other writers. He used numerous fake sites to lure poeple into his scam services for book distrubution, movie opportunities, etc.

He was also known to the writing community for using fake names (male and female) to use these types of false postings to dafame you. See my post here under the "Writers Universe" heading in November, 2004 for the story.

I hired an attorney years ago and John stopped the postings in 2005.

None of the complaints he has posted against me here are true.

Steve

This is some wonderful stuff here - I work in securities fraud and the pieces and connections to this entire puzzle is the red sox/Schmor****z/boats/securities and office products -

Smile guys you are now on my candid camera :)

InsuranceGuys Insurance Services, Inc is a California based business insurance borkerage. Its owners Greg Mishkin and Stephen J. Carney have no affiliation with the STEVE H. CARNEY IN QUESTION here.

This is a case of mistaken identity.

If you would like to ask us any questions or reply to my comments, please contact us at www.InsuranceGuys.com.

I teach management classes for a University. I don't know Steve Carney but from reading his comments that say the same thing over and over and over it's easy to see that he is hurting his own credability. Logical and ethical professionals and experts don't rant and rave and point fingers at others.

Anyone of high Practical and Professional Ethics
aims to help set the agenda and identify the emerging issues in practical ethics, promote public dialogue on those issues, and facilitate high quality. I don't see any of this from Steve.

Steve, get some help.

Steve,

Your memory must be short term only. You hired me to market your book Teamwork Chronicles and after we we only 3-4 weeks you had printing problems (which I found out that your printer told you they didn't want to work with you anymore because you are so difficult to work with). You raised your voice to me over the phone and became very difficult to work with and talk to. I returned the remaining fee and you still wrote a letter to the BBB.

How can a person who represnts "Taeamwork" and the "Workplace" have so many paths of bad relationships and bad communication,. Steve, you need to stop all of this "Bad" energy you are throwmg around and turn inward. You need help. Get some help Steve. The problem is not everyone else. The problem is you and your attitude. You have been representing your product poorly.

My letter went to the attorney General regarding Steve. Steve you can get a copy from her.

Frist, I have never had a client in California. Second, I have never filed a report on anyone who gave me a refund.

This is the typical childish postings by John Weaver who claims to be 39 but who is clearly going on 9. He uses many aliases to post defamatory postings on anyone he doesn't like. I have counted 10 aliases so far and I'm very confident that he has posted all of the false postings on this site, which would bring the total to probably 20! Talk about a twisted person, I can hardly keep up.

John Weaver of WritersUniverse.net, getbookorders@aol.com, and bookstofilm.com are among his many business names. He is a known scammer and spammer. See these few of the many posts about his rip-off scams and spams:

http://www.RipOffReport.com/view.asp?id=123698

He is as deceptive and dishonest as anyone I have ever met. What kind of coward uses all these fake names to post utterly false information on people? He is into an irrational realm I've never encountered before.

Steve Carney "The Workplace Guy" is the worst client I have ever had. He raised his voice to me over the phone and was very very threatening. I was scared and feared for my life. This man has what they call a "Fixation" problem. It's a mental problem. Anyone who works for Steve will have more problems than it's worth.

Steve's book wasn't well received and he puts the fault on others (publishers, printers, publicists and presses) . The book just isn't interesting and there are better books for your money.

Steve reported me to the BBB after I gave him a refund. What does that say about him. He raises his voice and loses control very easy.

Signed,

SSS -- Scared of Steve

Is this 'The Workplace Guy" the same as "The Insurance Guy"? Both companies are Steve Careny except one is in Colorado and the other is in California

Steve Carney, the Workplace Guy, has a background with many teams, industries, and volunteer organizations. He has experienced roles from laborer to draftsman and manager to president. Recently, he has appeared on radio as a workplace and management expert and has published several articles on workplace and leadership issues.

Steve,

I have no idea who the hell this John Or james or whatever the hell you say their names are I was just reading this and decided to respond thats all.

As for you doing thats a different stort all together.

I myself own a business and I would never run my business in the manner that you have conducted business. Word of mouth spreads quick as you can see from this site.
Good Luck Buddy it shounds like you'll need it.

Sounds like what you do for a living Steve is sue companies. Here you admit :


This guy needs to be investigated.

Peter

I am more than a little suspicious of Kevin who claims to be a news reporter. Having been one myself for many years, I am not sure I understand how he could not know the difference between libel and slander - it is a rather fundamental element of the profession. Based on this, I find this entire report to be less than credible.

Hopefully, anyone who reads these false reports has a brain and can see the ridiculous and fake way John Weaver and his annomyous friends have carried on this campaign.

Let's start with the fact that I have a great reputation with any customer I have ever done busienss with in my life. Never a single complaint of lawsuit of nay kind filed against me because I know how to treat a customer, unlike most poor business people who ripped me off and are harassing me here.

As for Sherry, Melissa, and Kevin (who doesn't seem to know which New York he lives in), there are no bad postings on me on the internet except the sleazy postings here done by people like John Weaver and James Bradshaw and friends who have posted these things using fake names and locations.

This posting went up on December 20, 2004 and didn't hit search engins until December 24, 2004. No professor would use this trash and sleaze as an example for a legal class. What I have posted on John Weaver was truthful and not slander, libel, or anything else. However, the false postings on me here are defamation. By now, I think the public can see the ridiculous nature and bullying going on here.

Kevin, although anyone can file a fake lawsuit, posting truthful information or filing legitimate complaints against companies that screw their clients is not illegal and no legal case would be won on those grounds. But hey, tell us about yourself and the case. Tell us some names and dates and specifics. I'd be happy to look into this cases. Oh, you said it went to court today and the customer lost and had to pay $100,000?
You're joking, fight? I've won a case in Federal court against a company that grossed 250 million in sales. It took over 6 months to resolve but we brought thier operations to a standstill. Are you sure it wasn't a movie or a fantasy where you filed a frivelous case and woke up befor you lost and had to pay the other sides lefgal fees and costs, resulting in bankrupcy? Give me a break. You're as bogus as the rest. Say Hi to John for me.

This sounds so very similiar to a story/case that went to federal courts today where a consumer was proven habitual in running and calling the alert to the BBB and Attny General with many businesses. Because of work/wages lost and future work/wages lost, slander and defamation among other things the tables were completely turned on the 'habitual consumer' and the consumer is being sued for $100,000.00.

What's interesting to me is the people who have the time to waste on all of this. I've always been one who looks down the road and what might be rather than in the rear view and what was...

My name is Kevin Daniels and I'm a news reporter in New York and I have been watching this thread. I do not know any of you here but what I've read and seen so far I can easily say Mr. Steve Carney should learn that everyone is innocent until proven guilty and you should have proof and proof of guilt before you publish stuff like this about businesses on the internet or you can be be guilty yourself of slander and defamation.

Looks like this is a civil situation where Carney is trying to play it out on the playground rather than in front of the teachers. Carney sounds like a sad person to deal with and from his tone alone , if I was a business, I would think twice before working for him.

I may do a story on "Habitual people who sue and slander at will."

OK Steve,

1st things 1st.... If you would of read the rebuttal right Sherry from Detroit said that she read about you on the internet and that a college teacher used you as an example.
She DIDNT in anyway say that she did/will do/any business with you.
Maybe you should get your facts straight before you start freaking out about false reports against you.
That reason alone is probably why the people you did business with are saying these things about you. Your always trying to defend yourself before even listening to what is said. Thats why they are saying that you can never be made happy.
And just to get it clear....I(Melissa)have NEVER done business with Steve. And Melissa is my real name and I am not a fake madeup person by whoever you say is making up this names or things about you.
What you are doing Steve is Fraud.
I just saw a news program about the same thing a couple of days ago and the people that you have done this to can sue you in court and win hefty amounts because you would be considered a habitual offender.

I don't know who Sherry W is. I've never done business with anyone in Detroit, MI. Like the others filing these utterly false and defamatory charges, she is a sick and twisted bully. People like John Weaver and James Bradshaw in Texas. These people who enjoy harassing others for no real gain--it's a sport to them. Hey John and James, ever heard of an IP address? OOPS!

None of these businesses were sued or lost money. They ripped me off. Sherry's charge that I've scammed anyone is completely false and she can be sued for it like the others posting false charges on this site. However, I think "Sherry" is a false name used by John Weaver or one of his thug friends. Why don't you post your real contact information, "Sherry"? Or are you too much of a coward? You prefer to hide in the shadows, no doubt. You lack the courage to stand up for what you believe.

I've lost thousands of dollars on these lousy business people who refuse to stand by their claims, statements, and promises. Once they get your money, they think it's theirs to keep, whether they do a good job or not. When they do a lousy job, they make excuses and blame me for their incompetance. They ripped me off, not the other way around and anyone who supports them is just warped.

This harassment campaign is more about mental illness then I ever imagined. This is about a group of twisted and sick people who think this is fun. In fact, it tells me that the few complaints I filed legitmately and legally because I was ripped off were right on. The way these business people have instigated the illegal campaign speaks volumes about their poor business and customer service skills, and their refusal to deal with problems they created in an open and honest way.

We're talking scum and trash.

I just came across this RipOffReport.com story and I think it's a shame that people like him use businesses and then try to sue them. This is why cost and prices go up. This seems to me to be a scam that could be premeditated and it's good that Ripoffreport.com is showcasing this. I've seen other stories online about this person and how hard they are to get along with in business. It seems no matter what everyone does to make them happy nothing makes him happy. There was a long letter posted somewhere else where a law/business professor used this person as an example of "Quasi Legal Extortion" These businesses can sue for big bucks by providing a pattern of behavior especially if state and federal organizations are involved.

It's like pulling the fire alarm at the school too many false times.

You Go RipOffReport.com - Shine your beacon of light against these DeadBeat people.

I have known Steve Carney for 20 years and done business with him for 15 of those years. I have always found him to be ethical, considerate and willing to provide an excellent product/service at a fair price. Why would he expect anything less to be provided to him?

It is hard to imagine that Bob from Bolder's comments warrant space on this web site without being legitimized. It would help if he were to reference who is making the comments about Mr. Carney and his methods of doing business. Is this simply Bob form Bolder making up comments to fill space?

In case Bob from 'BOLDER' isn't aware, it is perfectly legal to record phone conversations as long as one of the partys is aware of the recording. Is he saying things that he is ashamed or embarrased to have recorded?

Once again, John Weaver and his bully friends are posting ridiculous charges against me on this site using fake names. I have no idea who Bob in Boulder is. This is part of a campaign of continuing harassment that John Weaver of WritersUniverse has participated in. Every few days, they take out another fake e-mail and send it along or file false charges here. See my postings on WritersWeekly for more information on about this ugly and trashy behavior. We're talking disturbed people here.

This report is false and untrue. It doesn't belong on your site.

I was a client of several book and PR firms that didn't do very good work last year. Of the dozens of companies I've worked with in the last year or more, I've only filed a few complaints but those companies wouldn't resolve the problems. They kept money they didn't earn and ripped me off.

Now they have filed this false and defamatory report purely to harass me. They've used fake names, charges, and locations. Notice that none of the so-called quotes have any names associated with them--they are anonymous. I have no idea who Robert of Bolder Colorado is. (There is no such place. There is a Boulder, CO but I haven't done business with anyone in Boulder in 5 years or more. I've never done business with someone named "Robert" in Bolder, CO). The entire complaint is a fabrication and I ask that you remove it.

I just sent you 2 e-mails on the false report against me, Steven H. Carney. Here is the link:
