(((NAME(S) REDACTED DUE TO PERCEIVED HARASSMENT / CYBERSTALKING / CYBERBULLYING / REVENGE POST))) | RIPOFF REPORT POST-PUBLICATION CONTENT REVIEW: EDITORIAL REDACTIONS | artist, (((REDACTED))) uses the web, Facebook, and his famous brother's name to meet young girls online. (((REDACTED))), California

EDITOR’S COMMENT:  Ripoff Report strongly believes in the First Amendment, especially when consumers are truthfully warning other consumers about potential frauds, scams, rip-offs or the like by shady individuals or businesses.  Ripoff Report is by consumers, for consumers…and we want to keep it that way!  Unfortunately this Report was posted and, upon additional information, appears to have been primarily for the purpose of bullying or harassment.  In many instances Ripoff Report will reach out to the author of the Report to obtain further information.  In other instances, enough information is provided to Ripoff Report to warrant redactions without reaching out to the author.  Ripoff Report is working to combat tactics that are perceived to be cyberharassment, cyberstalking, cyberbullying and/or what is generally considered a “revenge post” as we do not condone such behavior. 

The Report was brought to our attention and, upon review of compiled information (which will be done on a case by case basis without any obligation as resources allow), and at Ripoff Report’s sole discretion, information that did not conform to current policies and/or the identifying information relating to the individual(s) and/or business(es) named in this “Report” and any subsequent comments thereto have been editorially redacted as indicated by the following “(((REDACTED)))” or (((REDACTED DUE TO PERCEIVED HARASSMENT / REVENGE POST)))”.

CONSUMERS:  Be kind.  Keep it honest.  Keep it fair.  Stick to the facts.  Do your research.  Keep the dirty laundry in the laundry hamper…not on Ripoff Report.

PLEASED TO SEE SUCH EFFORTS?  YOU CAN HELP RIPOFF REPORT COMBAT THOSE WHO ABUSE THE SYSTEM:  Ripoff Report, as resources allow, is working towards combatting Cyberharassment, Cyberstalking, Cyberbullying and/or other problems such as what is generically called “revenge posts” that can be riddled with nasty personal allegations that can be serious.   Ripoff Report would love to be able to timely address each and every review request we receive, however, this takes resources.  If you think this is a worth-while endeavor, we encourage you to make a donation so that we can expand the resources that we can devote to this project.  You can make a non-tax deductible donation by clicking on the PayPal icon at the bottom of the page located at the following URL:  http://www.ripoffreport.com/ConsumersSayThankYou/Donate.aspx.  The more resources we have, the more resources we can devote to this project and other forward thinking and positive initiatives like it.

Thank you!

(((REDACTED))) is a 40 something year old man living in (((REDACTED))) California and "working" as an artist and business man but his real business is luring young women off the web into questionable activities with himself for his own pleasure. My daughter signed up for a celebrity fan site for a television show actor who is (((REDACTED))) brother. She was contacted by (((REDACTED))) when he noticed her picture and saw what an attractive girl she is. My daughter is in high school. She is less than half his age and I'm told he is a father himself. He started with a friendly message that I still consider not ok considering her age. She was excited and flattered I guess to receive a message from the actors brother so she wrote him back and they began exchanging love letters without my knowledge.

My daughter was hours away from sneaking off half way across the country to meet this man when I happened to find a note from her friend that mentioned the plan and (((REDACTED))) name. After a long heated discussion with my daughter, she admitted to the entire relationship. She showed me each letter she received and they were full of his confessions of love for her and compliments about her looks and ideas about what he wanted to do when they finally met. They also contained information about his famous brother and all of the famous friends he had. He lured her in with this glamorous lifestyle and fast lane living including parties with rock stars and Hollywood events. Many young girls would fall for this type of trap and I have discovered they have.

I have spoken with several families and young women who met (((REDACTED))) the same way. He sends love letters to young girls and women across the country and world with promises of a glamorous lifestyle and undying love. There is something very wrong with this man and I think parents, young girls, and women alike should know to beware of his fast talking ways. Young women are the most likely to get lured into his games because they are impressed with his name and fame. His days of using the web as his playground are numbered and he has quickly been disappearing from Facebook and other sites he has been using to lure girls for years. He must be aware that many parents and individuals have discovered his wicked ways. There was a website put up recently by people who had fallen for the same lines and even gone to his home and become involved with him. Watch what young people are doing online. There are dangers everywhere. Who would think a grown man in his 40s with a famous brother would use the web to meet girls for his pleasure. Did he not think he would be discovered? Did he not care. My daughter knows it was wrong and she is glad I stopped her from making that mistake especially after seeing the website that detailed what happened to the women and girls who were not so lucky. He does all of this with a young son in his home who is aware of how his father meets women. (((REDACTED))) is a dangerous and fame driven man who has no regard for the women he lures into his online games.
