:mad Scammer alert - Patty Similien aka Starlita aka Alison Guriani aka James Richards etc

This is a reeeeally long and active thread at DNF that outed an apparent complete scammer and pathological liar that goes by a number of aliases. Here's a summary of this person including all the names they go by, their various profiles, even links to court cases she's been involved in (when DNF smells a major scammer, the investigation takes off to say the least).

The catalyst was that she/he/it stole $5,600 total from 2 DNF members (one paid $5,000 for 2 LLL.com's she had no rights to sell and she's trying to game PayPal to effectively steal the money, another paid her upfront to broker names, she promised upfront a refund if her services were not to his liking, she did no provable brokering, he sought refund, and nothing yet) as well as didn't pay for link building and other services from another handful of members. I say she/he/it because while she seems to go by female monikers, she has posed as men and even one of her pictures on her multitude of profiles throughout the web honestly looks like a man complete with slight mustache and goatee (go to page 38 of the linked-to thread and scroll down). The weird thing is that at one point, a legit member of the board did actually meet her in person, so she does in fact seem to be a she, but something's definitely up.

Just wanted to spread the word so that people don't get scammed by her. I'm not sure if she's ever tried to do anything pertaining to adult domains or services in particular, but scammers tend to change industries to try and get fresh new victims, so wouldn't put it past her to attempt something on people in this industry.

My only interaction with her was sending her a list of high end names I had for sale because she supposedly had a client with a $xxx,xxx budget seeking such names. She never responded after I sent the list, which is typical but from the looks of things, I'm definitely glad she didn't try anything.

The trick with her is that she generally speaks very well and has quick answers for everything...she really garnered the trust of people there before starting to try shit. If you look through the thread somewhat, she was seriously trying to defend herself throughout the thread, not once admitting to having scammed anyone, at most admitting to be a "habitual mistake maker". Beware!
