Setting the stage of urgency, dire circumstances with the clock ticking, like a fuse on dynamite, have been the constant elements in the con for 12 years now; it's his standard frame work. Using his wife's health, or his own, is another alternating tool to tug on the marks' heartstrings. With focus on that, he often overlooks things that might seem nonsensical, or transparent to his targets (or anyone reading). <br /><br />Remember too, that this is the beginning of the month, so he and his wife both, either have or will soon receive their respective SS checks. Additionally he admits receiving <i>ad revenue,</i> presumably paid on a monthly basis. Moreover, even though he has been exposed for his nefarious, long term behavior (thank you Mr. Brewer, et al) he still is partially successful with the con. <br /><br />Given the hours spent on the internet with all he does, driving for Uber or Lyft enough to produce any meaningful income has always been suspect IMHO. Taking what he says at face value isn't prudent to be polite. <b>This is a guy who has been prosecuted for check fraud (and multiple civil suits from a myriad of creditors, etc.) has recently, publicly admitted facilitating hot e-checks to his landlords and entered into rental/lease contracts with same, while publicly acknowledging he doesn't have the means to fulfill his obligation via a legal, signed contract, thus resulting in <i>four evictions</i> in the last 18 months (not to mention a history of earlier evictions as evidenced by court records).</b> <br /><br />The only way Steinberg will be stopped is if his victims file complaints with the authorities. Anyone who feels that they donated or loaned money in <i>bad faith</i> should file a complaint. <br /><br /><b>To be clear this means–if your decision was based on one of Steinberg's solicitations, indicating that his emergency (at the time) was temporary or a one off, only to find out later, that it's a way of life, then you should file a complaint with one or all of the following agencies:</b><br /><br /><a href="https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx" rel="nofollow">• The IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center)</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-3" rel="nofollow">• The FTC (Federal Trade Commission)</a><br /><br /><a href="https://gateway-sis.azag.gov/PublicComplaint/begin.aspx" rel="nofollow">• Attorney’s General Office Of Arizona</a><br /><br />Finally, along with his almost daily solicitations to his sucker lists, he has fundraisers at both GoFundMe and FaceBook. As to the latter, anyone who establishes an FB fundraiser and states <i>factually incorrect information</i> (lies) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/158214581358048?helpref=faq_content" rel="nofollow">can be reported for fraud. </a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/donate/574274462954391/10156348724771081/" rel="nofollow">In Steinberg's Fundraiser,</a> he states:<br /><br /><i>"I'm a senior citizen who lost his retirement funds as the result of helping another family member in need. Ironically, it wiped us out. As a result, my wife and I have been forced to move five times, including recently when we spent almost a month in cheap motels, barely avoiding homelessness."</i><br /><br />This is a demonstrable lie! Steinberg has repeatedly stated, <i>in writing</i> that he <i><b>lost his life's savings,</b></i> beginning in the early 2000's. He paints a picture that this just happened, and uses that as an excuse for the fundraiser. This is clearly (one example) a violation of FB's TOS and can be reported for <b>fraud.</b><br /><br />In the next few days Steinberg will state that he barely had enough to pay for his registration, cover the movers and pay a few more days on the motel. He'll give thanks to his followers for donating money to "help him get his life back," giving the impression that multitudes are giving him money, so why not you?!<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297935984616304783.post-66178445706842170712018-07-06T12:10:30.306-04:002018-07-06T12:10:30.306-04:00I'd say the contradictions you highlight here ...I'd say the contradictions you highlight here are the Steinberg dynamic laid largely bare:<br /><br />- The Steinbergs have some money, just not enough to live as they expect to live.<br /><br />- To make up the shortfall, Gene has resorted to begging - some would say conning or scamming.<br /><br />- Just saying "Well I can afford movers and license plates and a storage space and a pay-by-the-week motel, but won't you donate to help us get back to the Desert Mirage, where we belong?" doesn't seem to cut the mustard, so the emails need to convey crisis. The movers are coming and Gene doesn't have the cash to pay them! (He did this last time he was evicted, too.) Etc., etc.<br /><br />- This also explains why we hear about Barbara's health (the condition of which I suspect is exaggerated however Gene sees fit), the "online stalkers and criminals" (whose activities have no bearing on circumstances the Steinbergs brought entirely on themselves and they now worsen for God knows what reasons), the dog, how Poor Gene should be sipping lemonade from his rocking chair, and so on.<br /><br />- Occasionally Gene's true sentiments creep through - having to actually pay for anything such as movers is an affront to him, stiffing his landlords is "fighting the good fight".<br /><br />But here's the thing. All this is not working. Maybe it did for a time, briefly, but four evictions in eighteen months is ample evidence of dysfunction. <br /><br />It is possible I think that some psychological compulsion is at work there, but I think there is evidence they live beyond their means - thus the evictions.<br /><br />A child could understand the math problem you laid out, but not the Steinbergs. That and, Gene knows he must present things a certain way in hopes of getting another trickle of unearned cash via Paypal - and for God's sake use the "Friends and Family" option when sending him money, I mean, are you crazy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297935984616304783.post-88065869697115707652018-07-06T07:01:32.113-04:002018-07-06T07:01:32.113-04:00Gene's recent communique has a glaring contrad...Gene's recent communique has a glaring contradiction: he states he needs money for immediate rent and assorted bills, yet states he is setting aside money for his next apartment. What? <br /><br />Steinberg says: "I have hours to pay the motel to extend my stay." and then says: "I am continuing to search for an affordable place to live and I am setting aside money to cover what it’ll cost to occupy the residence."<br /><br />So right there Gene is admitting he has money, but rather than pay the bills of his current situation he is 'setting money aside' for some future 'other place'.<br /><br />Steinberg says: "I have to pay a deposit today so the mover shows up tomorrow to remove my stuff from the old apartment and store it."<br /><br />I'd say pay them out of the money you are 'setting aside'.<br /><br />Steinberg says: "I have to renew my car registration today to resume driving for Lyft and Uber."<br /><br />I'd say pay them out of the money you are 'setting aside'.<br /><br />Steinberg says: "The deadlines are killers and I need help really fast!"<br /><br />I don't think you need help. You are 'setting aside money'. Use that money!<br /><br />Steinberg says: "In the meantime, Barbara is trying to recover from her recent surgery. I don’t want her to go with me Friday when the movers arrive; she needs bed rest and she’s suffered enough already."<br /><br />I'm curious why you think anyone needs to know this? Sympathy perhaps? If so, you should know, Gene, that your use of your wife's illnesses garner no sympathy. Rather it reflects very badly on you.<br /><br />Steinberg says: "I am continuing to search for an affordable place to live and I am setting aside money to cover what it’ll cost to occupy the residence. But even a low-end motel drains money fast."<br /><br />Gene, if a low-end motel is draining money fast for you, you are demonstrating that you cannot afford an apartment. It looks like your life is now at a pay-by-the-week motel. Make that work for a year. If you can't make a motel work for even a few weeks, you are not going to be able to get an apartment to work (as you have shown now for months) so don't even go there.<br /><br />Steinberg says: "I could also use some legal help to deal with the pack of online stalkers and criminals that continue to harass me."<br /><br />With this request one can only assume you've been denied pro bono legal help in your community. It means you don't have a case if no one local would take you on pro bono.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297935984616304783.post-63010600725208687592018-07-05T01:55:10.222-04:002018-07-05T01:55:10.222-04:00Who will be SHOCKED when Friday passes and NONE of...Who will be SHOCKED when Friday passes and NONE of the horrors happen?<br /><br />I have to meet critical deadlines on Thursday and Friday.<br /><br />This blog has an update on my personal situation: https://www.technightowl.com/gene-steinberg-emergencies/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297935984616304783.post-74777762026685640652018-07-04T18:32:08.847-04:002018-07-04T18:32:08.847-04:00Scheming Gene is spending July 4 sending more begg...Scheming Gene is spending July 4 sending more begging emails.
