SCAM ALERT Part 11: Harvey Responds

Zile and Bea @ Iron Troll

It’s been over a month and I finally heard from Harvey Edwards regarding Marlene Nadeau and her We Political Consulting scam.Harvey says he had nothing to do with her scam but he sounds like he knew about it. And he says they aren’t married and were never engaged. Harvey should have made public corrections on his timeline to correct Marlene’s tweets rather than allow lies to be told.And if he knew there was a scam going on, he should have reported it. That was his duty as a citizen. Twitter has nothing to do with personal ethics. Harvey Edwards ‏@HarveyEdwards12 18m18 … Continue reading SCAM ALERT Part 11: Harvey Responds

SCAM Alert PART 10; Marlena And Harvey

Zile and Bea @ Iron Troll

Marlene told so many whoppers on Twitter so it’s hard to know what’s actually true. She claimed to have been raped by a senator, that she was a friend of Ann Richards and knew the Kennedy family. And, of course, she was pals with both Bill and Hillary Clinton. Marlene also hinted that she was secretly famous and after the election of 2016 everyone would find out who she really is…  I think we all know.Going through her deleted @marlenan21 account it becomes pretty obvious that while running her WE Political Consulting scam Marlene was also having an internet romance … Continue reading SCAM Alert PART 10; Marlena And Harvey

SCAM Alert PART 9; Marlena GoldNFeather Cherokee Catfish

Zile and Bea @ Iron Troll

 You might be thinking that the individuals who fell for Marlene Nadeau’s schemes were gullible but then Social Engineers and Con Artists always looks blatantly obvious in hindsight. Marlene Nadeau was very well known on twitter as @marlenan21, she interacted on Twitter quite a bit and a lot of people believed things she told them that weren’t true. Con Artists and Social Engineers often have little or no conscience so lying comes easy to them. They can tell you a whopper while looking you right in the eye and many can pass a lie detector test. Marlene was very creative with … Continue reading SCAM Alert PART 9; Marlena GoldNFeather Cherokee Catfish

SCAM Alert PART 8; Scam Site Taken Down

Zile and Bea @ Iron Troll

I recently checked Marlene’s latest scam website, 3DMasterLifePlan.com only to find that it had been taken down and replaced with a 451 Error page. Google says a 451 error is: Error 451 is a new error code that we want ISPs to show when people visit websites blocked for legal reasons. Courts can require ISPs to block access to certain websites. Showing the Error 451 message makes it clear when a website has been blocked after a court order I have no idea if the site was taken down due to an investigation into the scam or for some other legal reason, but I have … Continue reading SCAM Alert PART 8; Scam Site Taken Down

SCAM Alert PART 7; Marlene The Mastermind

Zile and Bea @ Iron Troll

The WE Are America Campaign scam was a crude attempt at political astroturfing composed of too much imagination and not enough common sense or financing to back up its grandiose plans. The WE Are America Campaign and We Political Consulting recruited victims through social media and Craigslist. The recruited members were communicated with via email and Direct Messaging to get them involved. They were encouraged to purchase tickets in advance for a training conference with tickets oddly ranging in price from $125 to $725.  Recruited members were also solicited to lend money to the organization with those loans to be … Continue reading SCAM Alert PART 7; Marlene The Mastermind

TimeLine of Jueseppi aka @MrNegroMilitant; September 2015

Zile and Bea @ Iron Troll

In his quest to be the blackest Black man in America, Jueseppi thought that tweeting a picture of Obama with a noose around his neck would be a good idea. That it was in extreme bad taste, not to mention inherently racist seemed to escape him.  Naturally some people thought his tweet was in bad taste and got on his case. Jueseppi claimed the tweet was photoshopped…which was odd cuz the original was still on his timeline. He finally deleted the tweet today but forgot that many people had retweeted it and screen capped it. He also forgot he embedded the … Continue reading TimeLine of Jueseppi aka @MrNegroMilitant; September 2015

SCAM Alert PART 6; Was Missoula Community Access Television Scammed?

Zile and Bea @ Iron Troll

At least money wasn’t exchanged but it looks like WE Political Consulting found a recruit in Montana who in turn involved Missoula Community Access Television in WE’s political pyramid scheme. WE was awarded “up to 12 hours of MCAT staff time and all the television equipment needed” to produce a program to be broadcast on community TV.I’d be willing to bet the Montana chapter of WE Political Consulting has a few angry members who haven’t heard from headquarters in a long time. I wonder if they were bilked out of money also? Link to original here Continue reading SCAM Alert PART 6; Was Missoula Community Access Television Scammed?

SCAM ALERT PART 5: MrMilitantNegro and We Political Consulting

Zile and Bea @ Iron Troll

How strange!I noticed that @MrNegroMilitant, formerly @MrMilitantNegro, had some interactions with the scam site WePoliticalConsulting.com. I assumed he’d been recruited and bilked out of money like the other people involved with that site and the We Are America Campaign I thought I’d ask and find out.My goodness!Jueseppi’s response was very rude.  Certainly not what one would expect from someone who’d been swindled. It was more like someone who had a guilty conscience. I hope he doesn’t sic his anon family on me.Now that I think about it, MrMilitantNegro wasn’t retweeting wepoliticalconsulting…he originated the tweet and pasted the link to the … Continue reading SCAM ALERT PART 5: MrMilitantNegro and We Political Consulting

SCAM ALERT PART 4: An Email To We Are America

Zile and Bea @ Iron Troll

There could be a logical explanation for why someone would create a political organization that solicited loans from its members and then disappeared when the members wanted the loans repaid. I can’t actually think of an explanation…but there could be one.I am a very open minded person. Dear “REDACTED” and REDACTED; Or should I call you REDACTED? This email is to notify you that the loans made to REDACTED and We Are America are being called in. Repayments on all of those loans are long overdue. You have until Thursday at 3 pm to reply with a concrete repayment plan to repay the … Continue reading SCAM ALERT PART 4: An Email To We Are America
