Rudy's Shit list

The people or places listed below I don't like. If you are seaching on the web to find out about any of these people or places, I wholeheartedly recommend you stay away from them. I will attempt to refrain from corporation bashing. That is a futile and senseless endevor. Many people bash large companies to trick you into thinking that they, a fellow victim of monthly bills, are on your side. If you find your self on this list, and wish to be removed, you will have to convince your are not an ass. Feel free to email me!

    Lambart sends marketing-junk email to addresses he pulls out of Registrar records. Don't spam people, people!
  3. Real Magnet LLC
    This crappy company helps people circumvent spam filters.
    A spam sending solution! I received unsolicited junk mail via Real Magnet on behalf of one of their customers. Real Magnet uses email lists that have address that have NOT opted into their spam plan. Here is the email I sent them:
    " Please send me a list of all domains that are a part of Real Magnet LLC so I can add a filter to my mail server to block mail from Real Magnet LLC. I have no interest in doing business with unsolicited email senders."
    Let's see if they respond. In the mean time, consider them a 100% spam front! They need to erase their entire email list database as their list has ill-gained email addresses on it. Me unsubscribing is a waste of time: their list is tainted.
    Here is the sendmail block (access file) for this company:
    209.18.70 550 " Unsolicited Email has caused 208.18.70/24 to be blocked "
    You may want to make sure that is still their block with the whois command: 'whois 209.18.70.1';

  4. www.chakoumakos.com
    Some loser sent a spam email asking people to link to his domain to help his page rank. Apparently, the site is to help him in a high school election. Politics turns people into slimeballs at a young age. This person sent spam, don't elect him, don't hire him (he may drag your company name through the mud by sending spam from your domain), don't trust him.
    He (assuming he due to site content) didn't even sign his name on the email, he signed it ORHS Student. How many OR high schools are there? I don't care!
  5. getsecured.com
    On September 28, 2004, a representative tried to sell me tech support claiming to be from getsecure.com in Texas. Their Registar record points to Florida and has BOGUS contact info. Trust them? Hell no. Here was their number: 204.632.4322. A 'Todd' seems to be in charge. Here is the Registrar record:

    Did the sales rep doing the cold call to me get the domain name wrong? Who knows! If you own getsecured.com and can correct me, I'll pull you off this page.
  6. Some jerk Enoch Marduk
    Tue Mar 16 11:32:18 PST 2004
    This buttmunch sent me a random email out of the blue referencing my ARIN SWIP ID info. Yes, my business address and phone number a public information. Shit come visit me, I am happy to have guests in my office. Email me, but shove your random threats up your ass! If this person was mad at something I or one of my customers did, they should explain themselves and open a dialog. Here is the email I got out of the blue:

  7. Newest person on my shit list: Jason Strait
    Date added: Sat Nov 9 17:18:42 PST 2002
    I left Jason a phone message asking him to pay. He didn't respond and I locked his account. He called up the same evening and was begging for access. He said he would pay - he gave me his word - so I turned his account back on. That was about 2 months ago. His last dialup was noon October 30, 2002. Well, now his number got disconnected and he is gone. He owes me $214. Here is his sign up info from October 8th, 2001. If you run into a Jason Strait who lived on Balsam Way in Oakland, he is a liar and cheat.
    jason strait wishes to join as "spacin".

    Searching on the Net, I found a list of tapes and cds of Grateful Dead bootlegs with 'spacin@monkeybrains.net' as a contact. THe URL is/was http://www.geocities.com/spacin_74/tapes_and_cds.html ... also linked to from thejerrysite.com. Jason and a friend (Reba) trades these bootlegs with people who email them.
  8. Ms. X : This woman lives/lived in San Francisco.
    Date added: Wed Jan 24 02:13:56 PST 2001
    She was a monkeybrains customer and never paid a dime. I tried contacting her on the phone several times. Once, she stated she was leaving town, and could I call her back another time. I did. The next time, it was her Birthday and she had to get off the phone. I tried to talk with her. Work as barter for payment is something I accept. Would she pass out fliers for MonkeyBrains? No. I should take this woman to small claims court! Here is the sign up informaion for her account:

    hope you have a fast & steady connection!
    
    update #1
    I got an email from an individual about a benefit Ms. X is throwing in Oakland, she emailed this person: I left you a message yesterday regarding a benefit I am putting on November 9, 2002 at [a Venue] in Oakland. Ms. X. wanted this person to do a performance at her benefit for free. The individual searched on the web for Ms. X, found this page, and contacted me. Apparently, Ms. X. got sore at this individual for researching her background and felt she was being bullied. So, Ms. X. emailed me (about 10 times) tring to get me to take this page down. We reached an agreement that if she started to pay her debt off, I would take this page down. A month has passed, and never sent me a dime. She claimed that she was going through tuff times when a year ago and that is why she shirked her bills. Here is my analysis: either Ms. X. is still going through tuff times, or she IS and ALWAYS will be a flake and a liar! (This is the first report of someone being stung by this page.)

    update #2
    Two months have passed, and Ms. X. has made no attempt to reconcile her debt. Beware any dealings with Ms. X.
    update #3
    4 years later, the year is 2005. Ms. X. emailed me: "i am very sorry that you feel fucked over by me, and i would like to make ammends, as well as have my name cleared." Ms. X. is going to stop by the office and pay me $130. Lucky I don't charge late fees like DPT (Department of Parking Tickets). Her email appears sincere, will she stop by today or tomorrow and drop off the money? I hope so! I like to have uncomfortable situations resolved.
    update #4
    Here is an email from 9/8/05:
    it will either be today or tommorrow (friday) . If i
    pay you back wil you take my name off your site?
    
    please let me know for sure.
    
    A week has gone by, no Ms. X!
    update #5
    More emails... will update when some more dust settles. Now, Ms. X is getting angry at me! Ha! She called, 1:45 pm and said she will be here in 45 minutes with the money. If she does, all the "XXX" and other personal info will be removed from this page and replaced with Ms. X.
  9. Qwest this company hasseled me for a while. Here is the Full Story
  10. This case is just borderline Shit List material. Here is the deal I really needed the dough from this piece of hardware I had, and he went and stole my work (taking a photo, scanning, etc) and then had the gall to list his item at the same time my auction was going on. Couldn't he have waited a week? Plus his page was lame: this person is a con man as far as I can tell. UPDATE: his stupid company and people page is no more. Ha! I win!

    Dear 'mjf':
    
    You stole my image!  That is not YOUR portmaster, that is the
    one I am trying to sell!  Not only that, you took all the HTML
    that I took the time to generate!
    
    I am referring to your eBay posting:
     http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1210881060
    and mine (made a couple of days before yours):
     http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1210271956
    
    You may at first thought think I am a 'Stupid company or person to avoid'. 
    Upon further reflection, you may realize that I took time to gather
    data about the PM25, take a photo of my PM25, load it on the web, and to 
    consturct a descirption for eBay.  So you need to decide which route to 
    take: paypal me $10 or add me to your webpage:

Epilogue

Damn, I hate it when I get cheated!!!!! This page makes me want to be a better person. I am not perfect, but I strive to not be as rude to other people as the people presented here have been to me. When I am a totally 'good person' and have really learned to forgive and forget, I may need to delete this page: I need to think about the rational behind public humiliation and wether or not that is a good thingTM. paradoxal, to say the least...

Here is something I did learn, Ms. X. did not really say 'sorry' she only demanded that I take the page down t first. After a while, she made up excuses and more promises (to be broken) of payment. If you have a hunch someone is going to screw you, don't waste your time on them: in business, friendship, or love.

I haven't even added any matters of the heart to this page. People get so emotional in love relationships, that it is hard to say who is right or wrong. Perhaps exgirlfriends of mine feel I wronged them. If I did, I am sorry. This apology does not apply to I. B.

Well, don't steal from people, don't lie, and try to be good!

Current housing situation may end up on shit list.
