Some of you might know him- Evan Blass of @evleaks on Twitter- twitter.com/evleaks. Former phone leaker and has 179k followers on Twitter, including Microsoft CEO, etc. (I'm thinking a few phone geeks here might know him). He asked me to share this around, and I'd ask you for a few minutes of your time: www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sdoud8 |

Yeah, it is really sad. I was hoping sharing it here would give it some extra exposure.

The situation gets worse- his twitter account was DMCAd by TK and was suspended. I'm a friend of Blass, and he asked me not to publish the DMCAs, but I'll PM them to any member of this forum in good standing(as of now) that replies here. Edit: sorry, I just looked at this post and the wording wasn't too clear. If you want a copy, reply here saying that, I don't want to spam everyone with a copy of DMCA notices.  |

The thing that most strongly stands out to me from this -- do not let other people own the crowdfunding efforts held in your name. You must own them.

Damn. It just goes to show that you can never fully trust anyone you meet online.

Brutus Aurelius : I may be naive (and I probably am) but I very much trust people on this forum. OTOH as Cory said being cautious with crowdfunding is not an option. As a rule of thumb, I'm cautious in every site I visit and avoid giving out personal data anywhere. But the problem at hand seems to be due to that con artist that has managed to befriend his victim (s ?) enough to make them handing their crowdfunding...that's all the point with con artists, they are good at making you trust them.

I mean, obviously Cory and Andrew are who they say they are, and I have been on forums before with very friendly people who I trusted very much. |

This forum really has some outstanding and friendly individuals, especially compared to the rest of the internet. Wow, that story is just sad. Pretty cruel thing to do. |

Brutus Aurelius : sorry, that wasn't meant to hurt you in any way. I was just speaking for myself. It wasn't meant to criticize you.
