THE ART SCHWARTZ STORY
______________________________________________________________________________
Art Schwartz is an information broker from Florida. His business: For those
tired of going through hundreds of warez sites finding porn popups (and no
warez), Schwartz will sell valid links to good sites for a price of $24.95.
+aK00Kla is a self-appointed Usenet hall monitor, a 'Policeman Without a
Badge.' Every newsgroup dominated by +aK00Kla has turned into rubble.
http://groups.google.com/groups?th=e5f3f8a2c0735edf
When Schwartz started promoting his site in alt.binaries.cracks, +aK00Kla
attacked. Even though +aK00Kla had no facts he tried slandering Schwartz in
every way possible. aK00Kla called Schwartz a scam artist, claimed Schwartz
had a revoked license, had no employees, had no corporation, rooted through
garbage cans in the middle of the night, maxed out people's credit cards,
was a homosexual, was a pedophile, worked in his own kitchen, and beat up
on his own mother. To 'prove' his claims, +aK00Kla and his sockpuppets made
posts under forged aliases claiming to be people victimized by Schwartz. A
web site was made. A vanity newsgroup was created. An email was forged and
sent to VeriSign claiming Schwartz was under investigation causing VeriSign
to revoke their license with Schwartz. But no proof to back up anything
+aK00Kla ever said was ever really found. +aK00Kla's only hope was told by
one of his own 'supporters':

Repeat the same LIE long enough and people will believe it.
People were mad at Art Schwartz for using newsgroups to spam his ads. But
after over a year to listening to the same lie repeated, people are madder
now at +aK00Kla, realizing all of +aK00Kla's claims were fantasy.

Question: If this guy Art Schwartz is so bad, and doing all
these illegal things, then why hasn't he been busted yet?
Surely this newsgroup is read by the "authorities" (a.k.a. "Da
Man"), so they must be aware of what he's doing ... yet he
keeps posting, doing his "thing," and his site is still up.
I just don't get it.
Any ideas? (Sane ones, please)

Name ONE person who had unauthorized charges who isn't an aKooK

the unauthorized charges you NetKops talked about for MONTHS.

How do you know?
Post a copy of ONE person's credit card bill showing how Art
tried to steal their card. Shit for MONTHS. Let's see ONE bill.
Just ONE. Post a picture of ONE fucking bill.
If he really stole credit cards he would be in jail already and
he's not so obviously you are a LIAR Liartalker.
>If your curious about this person and his scam, please read:

I read it and saw one post from an @Home user CLAIMING he got
scammed a year ago. And Art has advertised for YEARS. So ONE
unhappy customer is what? All businesses have unhappy customers.
Then another post he said he didn't hear from Art for weeks
after signing up but the post is just a few days old. BOGUS LIE.
And if his license expired he got a new one, so??? And all the
other posts I saw were from the fuck head who put up the site.
Look at the other person who claimed he got scammed it's the guy
who put up the site posing under a SOCKPUPPET name!! BOGUS man!
Totally bogus. You just don't like him posting here. TOO FUCKING
BAD Liartalker. TOO FUCKING BAD. Art will post whenever the fuck
he pleases. And there ain't SHIT you can do about it except pop
a few for spamming but SHIT, that's part of bizness. Onto the
next.
You got NO proof Liartalker. You write what your leader aKooK
tells you to write. You have no brain you can't think for
yourself. Your a born follower and you'll die a follower. You
don't like when Artie sells stuff the Flamers give away for free
eh? But that's HIS right. Some people don't like getting flamed.
They just want cracks. So they'll pay $24.95 for it. And they can
and you CAN'T stop em. And you CAN'T stop Art no matter WHAT you
say. He's done NOTHING illegal.
He's got a case for a good slander suit against you, man. Be glad
he don't start one or YOU would be in deep shit not him.
I REALLY hope he does sue your ass and wins and uses the $$$ to
pump another billion ads in here. You fucks deserve it after the
shit you did to him. SLANDER man. That's what it is. SLANDER.

There is no law requiring him to respond to ANYTHING you ask....+aK00Kla!
His choice not to respond does not make him a thief.
But using forged posts to make it look like someone actually got ripped off
by him makes YOU look like an ASSHOLE.

Huh?? I see his page offering software for 1 convenient price. I see NO
actual proof of a scam. Just allegations and flames. And people who say they
got ripped off but those posts are FORGED by the people doing the flaming.

Nope, the documents show Perfect Shareware isn't. He could be incorporated
ANYWHERE under ANY name. He could be incorporated under Perfect Shareware in
another state or nation for safety and you wouldn't even know it. The same
kind of safety YOU want with that S00p3r SeKr3T Double Firewalled Slovak

PROVE IT. Post jpgs of him working on that kitchen table. Or a real picture

but you don't even know what his face looks like eh?

the ocean in a beautiful apartment complex in a clean safe part of Florida.
And while you're at it post jpgs of him looking through those garbage cans
at 3am.
And while you're at it post a copy of the complaint his mother made against
him when he hit her what that bat.
And while you're at it post the proof you have that he is a homosexual and
why you think we should not do business with him because he is a homosexual.
And while you're at it post the headers of all the pedo pictures you say he
posted.
And while you're at it tell us again why you find it strange that he wants
to sue you for SLANDER.
And while you're at it post the direct phone number for Det. Hunter in
Orlando PD so we can confirm you are Steve Repsis.
>4. Schwartz has no employees
PROVE IT. Post the transcript of the videotape you made when you and Luke
and Vrodok tortured Art and got him to confess he has no employees. YOU
DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT ART LOOKS LIKE!! You don't even know what his current
corporation name is. How in the fuck do you know what employees he has??
>5. Schwartz has no money to keep an attorney on retainer
PROVE IT. List all the asset searches you did.
All this is SLANDER.....SLANDER SLANDER SLANDER. TONS of allegations but NO
proof of anything. Absolutely NOTHING. Not a SHRED of proof.
>6. Schwartz is not insured as a business and has no workmans compensation
ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!! What insurance does he need? People injured on the job
from paper cuts?
You searched Perfect Shareware but you don't know what corp name he has now
so your claims are BOGUS once again.
Nice try Barnaby Jones.
>7. Schwartz does NOT have a FEI identification number from the US
> government as required to pay federal taxes as a corporation
Nope, Perfect Shareware doesn't. You don't know what corporation name he uses
now. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HIS FACE LOOKS LIKE.
And he needs no FEI and may not be required to pay U.S. taxes if his corp is
offshore like your S00p3r SeKr3T Double Firewalled Slovak Relay. A very smart
way he could protect himself and your TOO DUMB TO EVEN KNOW!!
>8. Schwartz, if pressed with legal action, is *personally* liable for all

PROVE IT. You have NO means to verify what corporate veils he uses. You can't
even post a jpg of his FACE!! Because you are so lame you don't even know
what he looks like but you know his veils eh? He got you where he wants you.
He says jump and you say HOW HIGH.
>9. Shwartz cannot afford to hire a web site designer to create a
>professional website
Or he doesn't need to waste money doing it because he makes enough money
without it.
>10. Schwartz is unlicensed to conduct business in the State of Florida
Nope, Perfect Shareware isn't and him living in Florida doesn't prove business
is conducted in Florida. His corp could conduct business ANYWHERE. It could
even be INTERNATIONAL. You have NO clue what corporation name he uses for
transactions or in what part of the world he conducts business. You can BARELY
find a Krispy Kreme donut store or a place that sells new cigarette butt
scoopers so you can keep your boss happy.
>11. Schwartz provides no added value for taking money from anyone using his

$25000 of software for $25 looks like added value to me. What added value do
your cracks and flames provide?
Jealousy is an evil emotion. How much do they pay these days for shoveling
dung and scraping up cigarette butts at Disneyworld? Can't be too much if
$100 every 6 months is a budget squeeze for you.

Sure they would! Advertising on usenet is looked down on. Spammers expect to
have accounts closed every so often. They just reopen again and continue. A
small inconvenience of the job. Happens all the time. It does NOT prove he
doesn't give customers what they want. It just proves you don't like him for
doing what he does cuz he makes money and you don't. YET. But when YOU start
charging for that S00p3r SeKr3T Double Firewalled Slovak Relay YOU will be
just like Art eh? Misleading people into paying for a server as insecure as
the ones others giveaway for free. And cash in advance will be pocketed
BEFORE the first piracy report hits home so you won't care right?

the people in your FORGED posts.
A S00p3r SeKr3T Double Firewalled Slovak Relay to distribute warez

Nope. I just sent my phone bill to a PO box. Art tells you where he lives.
He is not afraid of you. It DOES sound strange that YOU do not tell us
where YOU live. And what's the address of your Slovak server gonna be?
>15. Schwartz in currently under FBI investigation for fraud and interstate

So?? MILLIONS have FBI identification numbers. Art is not selling warez.
Art is selling links to warez. Art is an information broker. What he is
doing is legal. You may not like it but its legal. It is illegal to sell
drugs but it is NOT illegal for me to charge you $25 to tell you where to
go to find drugs. He is spamming usenet and he gets accounts closed now
and then. Big deal. Part of the job. For every 1 you close he will open 5
more. He don't care. He LOVES making money and getting his jollies off you
at the same time!! Name the FBI agent hot on his trail, Liar.

You are unbelievable akulass.

authors, yet you openly associate yourself with the feds and scream

Ladies and gentlemen, you've just witnessed a classic example of +aK00Kla's

******************************************************************
Blend something that IS the truth between two slices
of lies, put it all in ONE sentence, and then it sounds
like _ALL_ of it is true.
******************************************************************
That's how the 'truth sandwich' works.
Yes, Art is a spammer, that's the truth. But he is NOT a 'theif' <ROFLMAO>
and there is no FBI investigation and there never was one.
Post the full name, division, location AND direct telephone number of the
FBI agent 'hot on his trail', aK00Kla. Until then, shut your pie hole.
And don't even THINK about replying without posting the full name, division,
location and direct telephone number of that FBI agent.
And don't even THINK about snipping out the demand for that information in
your reply, because the demand for it is now on Google.
And if you reply WITHOUT providing that information, you will be shown to
be the LIAR we already know you are.
And if you DO provide that information, it MUST be fictitious and you MUST
be lying anyway, because there is NOTHING real you can provide - because
NOTHING EXISTS!
Kinda sucks for you now, don't it?
Looks to me like someone just reamed you a new asshole, to match the one on
top of your neck.
>I have seen the documentation.

You said it, Art!
Arthur Schwartz has NO moral leg to stand on. Arthur says that if you
give him 25 smackers a month, he will give you access to all the
"free" software that you "deserve". If you are not legitimately
purchasing these titles, YOU ARE COMMITING A CRIME by downloading and
using these titles. However, it is highly improbable that you will be
able to commit ANY crime as all the links that Arthur will provide to
you will be ALL dead.
=================================================
Hello;
I purchased a subscription to the perfect-shareware website. Upon
obtaining login and password information, I logged in. Sure there were
many titles listed, but none of these links worked. I am out money
even though this website offers a money back guarantee.
I even did a whois search and sent a request to Art Swartz. I then
received a threat telling me that he would turn me in to authorities
if I continued to demand my money back.
Tim Leasth****
*****@diamond.wes***.com
===================================================
Arthur is a common criminal. These stories are endless. And this
jackoff loser (wise1)sticks up for Arthur The Thief Schwartz.
What Arthur does is analogous to someone advertising "GET ALL THE
MONEY YOU DESERVE FOR FREE!" And selling a book telling how to rob
banks, burglarize homes, and cheat on your income tax return.
There IS comfort in knowing that sooner or later, the Usenet systems
that allow this piece of shit loser SPAM through them, they will soon
become depeered and shut down and we will never hear from Arthur Waste
of Breath Schwartz.
