I was fairly certain that he never left. I have suspected the repayments are just shill repayments so people let their guard down.

For the record: we did NOT get scammed. This was an attempt to scam our service.

Also, I won't ever remove the DOX above unless we have to by law. Naturally, mods might decide (or get paid) to remove it.

That address belongs to his mother.  He resides in Walnut, CA which is 10-15 minutes from the Covina address

Here is the full dox from another thread.

How long ago was this attempted scam?  If its recent I would assume he has run out of funds to pay back his other victims

IP and login times from the OP:


If this is accurate and represent actual scam attempts, we can reasonably link where the money that he's paying back with is coming from.

I wasn't paying attention to anything past the IP address  :P

His attempt was Monday. He realized it wasn't going to work with us so he quickly gave up. I'm sure Walnut has police officers to teach him a lesson :)

I used to know a guy at that station, but he left :/

Wow, right after I say nothing but good things about him, he turns around and does this.

Once a scammer - Always a scammer.

He's a compulsive liar. He won't stop unless the law forces him to.

sooo...if you look at the docs, apparently it's a lady. Or, a lady who's doing whatever her husband asks her.

I agree with the above: once a scammer, always a scammer.

some of these photos are redundant:

throwaway account for obvious reasons.

this person should be fearing for his life at this point.

hey shut the fuck up and stop defending him.

do us all a favor and drown yourself.

From the BoA deposit receipt, how can you tell what form of money was deposited (check, cash, ?)?

If you look at the receipt, you will see one line towards the middle that says 'total deposit to CHK then on the right the total amount of the deposit ($402 in this case). The line underneath it gives you some kind of date, it looks like it might say something like 'credit will post to account on'. Then the third/bottom line says 'available now' and if you zoom in enough you will see that it says $0.00 on the right. I believe the total amount of deposit and the available now amounts should match if the deposit was entirely cash. I also believe that your online banking should tell you how much of a pending deposit was made up of cash and how much was made up of checks

A check deposit will yield the following in your online banking activity:

it will say CREDIT PENDING: $xxx amount

It will say directly underneath that: AVAILABLE NOW: $0 (ZERO)

LOL this guy is still at it

I don't understand how. No one that he scammed has contacted police in his area? The police won't do anything? I thought check fraud was a serious felony.

He got me too, and it isn't someone else using his checks.  The buyer sent me a picture (shown in my newsletter (http://eepurl.com/bjiRff)).  He now has $8507 worth of my bitcoins.

I would not call the police because they are worse criminals (look up "Civil Asset Forfeiture").

Rather, I'd like to set up a bitcoin bounty service.  This would be a community of folks who would essentially harass known criminals.  The hope is that the criminals would either attempt to get the authorities involved, in which case the community would provide evidence of the scam to the investigating officer.Yes, I see the irony.  It is intimately related to the fact that most cops are good people following horrible orders from an institution they don't realize is criminal.

The goal is to get the criminal to make his victims whole, and also pay the bounty service its fee.  Some victims may be willing to help the criminal because he has demonstrated a weakness in the victim's method of trade.  Marc, if you're reading this, you can count on me being one such person who will help you.  Yes, you fucked up, but you can make up for it, and I'm willing to help.

If anyone knows lawyers who might speak up, ask for input on this question:  How much can we bug someone who has proven to be a scam artist without breaking the law?  Not that I really care about the law...

What date did this happen?

Marc scammed me between 4/2 and 4/6.  When he writes on the receipts, he will attempt to write over the information that identifies what was deposited.

I think this guy just absconded with a BTCjam loan.

I've added addresses to the Geo coordinates that rgenito provided.
I am a voluntaryist.  I have been puzzling over whether or not I should do anything about Marc's theft of $8500 from me.  It seems that the best way to handle his criminal activity is to let him and those who know him that he has a chance to make things right.  I plan to do this for the rest of my life as long as it doesn't cost me too much, or until he relents to my demands for restitution.

Has anyone contacted Highland Skill Nursing to see if he works there?

He lives on Shadydale Ave... lmfao how fitting. What a p.o.s.

YES he works there.

Please critique the following.  If you just want to call me names or judge me as naive or idealistic, feel free to do so, but please also consider joining me, as those features are how the human race will make progress.  I'm really more interested in people who have good hearts but also understand how wrong the lives of others can go, and all the ways in which the rest of us can make them worse or better through revenge or patience and persistence.

Dear Highland Park Skilled Nursing,

One of your employees has engaged in criminal activity.  Some possible results of this are bad for Highland Park Skilled Nursing:
•   You may be ordered by a court to engage in activity that your employee will not like,
•   You may be required to engage lawyers which, as I’m sure you know, cost a lot of money,
•   Your employee may not continue providing you with his valuable services.
•   Your employee’s family may suffer at the hands of a criminal-justice system that has grown more reckless over time.

One actual result that has been bad for me is that I am out $8,500.

My understanding after these 45 years of living here in Southern California is that most people think the best way to handle someone who has engaged in criminal activity is to punish that person.  However, such punishment seldom leads to any kind of restitution to the victims, nor does it cause much of a reduction in the amount of crime he commits in the future.  Mostly, it marginalizes the criminal more than he was already marginalized, discourages him from respecting his fellow man any more than he already does, and wastes public resources.  I am interested in helping people become better people, not in hurting them for making mistakes, even when they knew, when they made the mistake, that it would hurt others.  I loathe revenge and vengeance.  For these reasons, I place myself at the mercy of you and everyone else with whom I can connect who is connected in some way to this employee.

If you are willing to help your employee regain at least some of the innocence with which he was born, please contact me, either at my email address, [--------------], or at my phone number, [-----------------].

I suspect your employee began engaging in criminal activity out of desperation, and would welcome help from his employer, as you are a legitimate institution which provides him with sustenance.  Other victims are taking harsher measures, and your employee may suffer less at their hands if he can show that he is availing himself of your help in order to undo the damage he has already done.  As far as I know, it’s just money.

Until I have your word that you will not terminate his employment based solely on the grounds that he committed a crime, I cannot reveal his identity.  He clearly needs more honest work, not less.

If you are interested in my background, feel free to google “dscotese” which is quite unique across the Internet.  I am also the webmaster for voluntaryist.com.

Thank you for any help you can provide,

Dave Scotese

The guy has scammed you and others for thousands and you want to protect him? Thats dumb. Its not our fault that even while employed he scammed for thousands. He deserves to lose his job and everything honestly.

I'm more interested in recovering what he took from me than in punishing him.  But thanks for calling me dumb.  :(

Do what others had to do, harass his family and work. Might sound a bit harsh at first but it's the only way others got their funds back. Other members will say his family is not involved but he continues to use their names and bank accounts and they are fully aware of this.

Reviving this thread:

I think he died but I will try to confirm it:

http://californiaobits.tributes.com/obituary/show/MarcHenry-Cabling-Hernandez-103577617

ForestLawn says his grave is at:
Memorial Park:    Covina Hills
Section:    Vale of Faith
Map #:    19
Lot:    10048
Space:    4
Property:    Ground

I signed his memorial book at tributes.com.
I almost made an obituary for "Dave Scortese", (almost my name), but I read their terms of service, which include an agreement not to do anything that "provides false or deceptive information" so I didn't post it.  However, tributes.com also says "Tributes may or may not pre-screen User Content" (where "Tributes" is referring to the company itself), so if I didn't have the strict integrity that I do, it seems that it would be easy to create a page like the obituary waterholeIO just posted.

Well, thanks for trying to verify his death in any case.  I won a judgement against him on 6/1/2016 and sent a letter to his work (Highland Park Skilled Nursing) on 7/28/2016, but I haven't heard back from them.  I haven't heard anything back.

Marc, I won't sell the judgement because I'd rather get $1 per month from you and help you become successful enough to get out of this mess honorably instead of by faking your own death, if that's what you're doing.  If you're really gone, then maybe you can read this from the beyond.  Either way, let me know!

[edit]For those who think I can talk to dead people (or they can talk to me), I haven't gotten anything since I posted this message six days ago, so there's some (questionable, of course) evidence that Marc isn't really gone.[/edit]
