He lives in Montreal.. If you can find him I think there are a lot of people that would gladly pay you..

Hey Unc, Choker needs more content for his Goldman ripoff page anyhow.
I rebooted, deleted temp files, history, cookies and everything...still cannot view the news clip. All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?

Frustrating to have your warnings about a scammer ignored, isn't it bro??
Arguing whether the Democratic or Republican party is better is like debating which steaming pile of shit is slightly less stinky.

is he the same steve that was running a movei site way back when, from quebec?
Originally posted by Jizar II I have heard a lot of scary stories about the idiot Steve goldman.. but why is he so hard to track down?
For one thing he has many names. Steve Goldman was the latest and greatest when he got caught. It may be his real name, it may not.
He is or has been known as: Steve Goldman, Steve Goobeldy, and Simon Masters
On boards he changes his nick every four or six months along with his current board, resource, sponsor program or traffic program (with the latter two his favorite ways of ripping people off, but not his only way.) Among his latest ventures this year was Smacke Cash.
That said, there seems to be a Montreal connection, a London connection and maybe a California one.
He's a chameleon which is why he has had and continues to have a sucessful run at his specialty: fucking webmasters is the only MO that never changes. He's made so many enemies now when he pops up, he gets spotted much quicker and has to burrow back down into his pile of garbage quicker ... but he always resurfaces.

Kind of....I was confident he was out to scam people because there was no way his business model to be profitable and he knew it. In that case as well he paid the very first people to gain their trust and talk about his programs to others. After that he didn't pay anyone. At the same time he was running several different scams.
Pipecrew, that's another Steve. The one you reffered from the info I have posts here as snowpimp. Still owes people money and he has scammed at least one guy I know under his new nickname. Some people never change habits.
Were you the guy that was trying to icq me about this earlier? My icq kept flipping out I got like every other message or something from you, couldn't understand what you were saying, please try again, thanks. If this was you.
If that proof is true - then that is not nice. Near 100k of debt owing to honest needing webmasters.
NOT cool.

Yea that was me.. I will hit you up again..
Well as for the new program he is running the thread title says it all Actually his program is the same as his BBS nickname www.newwaveconcepts.com
And it isn't near 100k of debt, he went over 110k when he scammed me out of 32k

And as Unc, said it's a lot more than what's listed at Choker's, honestly.
Besides All Of 'Em and PLR, Goldman took at *least* two other major resources within the last 3.5 years. That is a fact. Since it was told to me in secret that the names not be mentioned, I won't. But at the very least he's screwed four resources that I know of out of major advertising money. Oh and one large sponsor about six or seven years ago for an unknown amount. And those (obviously since it's not well-known) aren't listed there either.
So consider the amount to be at the very least $150k if not more. And that is only what we know of. Like said, not everybody wants to admit they've been had. So that's only those who've admited it.
I'd say when you toss in the silent ones who won't admit, the fact he's been in this industry since the very start (8 years easily), and some folks who have gotten taken don't know it was him (that he is the same person as x or y or z) .... it wouldn't surprise me in the least if the bastard's stolen $250,000+ from webmasters over the years.
And yeah, that pretty much makes him Public Enemy Number One.
That about sums it up.. It is just the nature of his scams that really makes me feel sad for the human race in the same way as when I see KKK gatherings on TV, or hear about some stupid ass punk kids rioting and destroying peoples property because their band didn't show up to make a performance... It is one thing to run an affiliate program and not pay your webmasters, but to consciously befriend someone, get close to them all the while planning on how you are going to get them to hand over cash and then dissapear, all the while knowing that you have probably just single-handedly ruined this persons life..
So know all we can do is make sure he doesn't do this to anymore honest webmasters and inform everyone about the scum out there like this..

exactly what i was thinking as soon as i saw this thread..
And people wonder why half of us are so jumpy about dealing with people we don't know!! It's gotten where no one is safe anymore with people like THIS around!!
Absolutely.. It is amazing how hard and suspiscious you get, I actually resent it.. It is a wonderful thing to be full of trust and naive in that way.. But man after 5 years here now it is the other way around, for the most part I will ONLY deal with companies who are incredibly well established, and it is always small at first..
But I just hate going into every deal imagining how this guy is going to fuck me over, how to spot it early on and how to prevent it or minimize my losses if he does fuck me.. I mean it is good to always have these kinds of things planned out in advance but it was so much nicer living in wonderland thinking everyone is a good guy and could be trusted..
FUCK YOU SCAMMERS YOU KILLED MY INNER CHILD!!!
