Keith,

That is the first time I've heard about this. If that is true, then that makes Joey a douche bag in my book. However, it does not make him a scammer. You were out nothing.

You guys are grasping for straws here. I repeat, if someone can show me where Joey Farino scammed them out of money/cards, then I'll admit I was wrong. But if you can't, isn't it really time to drop it?

David- why the big deal? Who cares? The guy makes 0 difference in our lives and he isn't on this board. Regardless of anything else out all, the emails he sent me were enough to not want our members to have to put up with him. Admittedly I asked for id, he gave it and then I asked for more because of new revelations, but that doesn't mean the guy should go ballistic on me. He should have thanked me if anything for trying to keep this place as safe as possible. He shot himself in the foot with the way he acted, forgetting everything and anything else.

Honestly, thank you Leon making this board as safe as possible. You personally stopped a transaction I nearly made and would have been burned on in the past (not by Joey). I'd just asoon not have any liars, double identity or any dishonest people on the board and you are the sheriff in town. Thank you Leon.

Leon,

I agree with you 100%. I have no problem with him being booted from the board. You made a reasonable request and if he didn't comply then he should pound sand.

I'm just not sure why this thread was revived three and a half months later just to beat a dead horse and drag his name through the mud? I repeat what I said earlier: Joey Farino is a lot of things (liar, idiot, moron, douche, alt, not a man of his word or whatever you want to call him), but that doesn't make him a scammer. He's had tens of thousands of dollars worth of transactions and as far as I know (and once again, somebody please correct me if I am wrong) nobody ever got taken for a dime.

I don't particularly like the guy, but on the other hand I don't like to see anybody falsely accused of things either. You're right, it makes 0 difference in our lives. That said, I'm just not sure why the thread was bumped just to continue to assassinate his character w/o any proof.

I do concur with the others in that I'm glad you make this a safe place for all of us. Thanks!

I wouldn't have revived the thread but it's a very open board so anyone can do that with old threads. I also don't know of Joey actually ripping anyone off. I didn't ever say that.

And lastly thanks for the kind words on efforts to keep this place as safe as possible. It's still caveat emptor and I do want to know of any crap that goes on on the BST.....fortunately I don't have to get involved even a few times a year. I stay away as much as possible. If anyone ever doesn't want to give a reference I would like to know, or if anyone needs to ask anything about someone, I am always here to try to help. best regards

While I am glad that Joey (and a few other folks) are not on these boards any more, I do agree with what David is saying.
