My my is this embarassing!

It all started with the following bit of Internet ridiculous :

We'll leave aside the incredible impudence of that "with all due respect"-equivalent construction - it's been discussed elsewhere. We'll also leave aside the ethical or psychological considerations involved in its usage, as they seem scarcely worth the time. We're dealing with Internet people here after all, the sort of tiresome clods that have yet to form any sort of understanding of the fact that there exist things much more important than themselves. Of course they'd be self-centered to the exclusion of all else - this is after all their only characteristic, and discussing it is not really unlike discussing the wetly humid appearance of fish.

Instead, let's do a search for the email in question, who knows.

We'll leave aside the comedy goldmine of "Google sells advertising", intricately related to the piles of lolz known as "Google is a company, which has a product, and revenue, and consequently is worth money". You know, like Apple, and like other things.ⁱ

Instead, what the fuck is arbp.net ?! Consider :

Not bad for five minutes' work, is it ?

Digging a little more we find the following choice bits :

There is a person by the name of Joel Pritchard and Wolfgang Demmel they currently using XLHOST.com and other hosting companies to operate spam operation/scam to sell their lotions and potions, vpn's and other products services that do not work.. www.arbp.net

The people I am referring too are NOTORIOUS internet scammers! BUYER BEWARE!

This all started with Joel Pritchard coming to my business trying to sell IP addresses to our smalll business. Since it so hard today to get IP space for your business because the internet running out of IP space we fell for the bait our company felt as if we had no choice.

Joel Pritchard along with his partner WolfGang Demmel (A German Citizen living in the United States) approached my sales rep, gave her their song and dance about how they are the best at what they do. After sending 27,000 dollars in escrow to Mr. Demmel's company, they provided the IP space to our company. 2 days after this transaction, the IP space disappears and we are left with NOTHING.

After numerous attempts to find out the truth about this situation, Wolfgang stopped answering phone. We hired a private detective to find out exactly what Joel Pritchard and Wolfgan Demmel were up to. We find that the ip address they sold us did not belong to them, they simply were using a company by the name of XLHOST.com.

The investigation turned to find out many things about Wolfgang Demmel and Joel Pritchard (AMAZING DISGUSTING DEVIANT). The website they are cloaking themselves under is http://www.arbp.net

Our company started to get harassed by phone by Joel Pritchard demanding we pay him and Wolfmore money to supply crack cocaine habit. (This what Joel was claiming). We simply asked for our back then Wolfgang Demmel gets on the phone, screams at my partners DEMANDING that payment of another 48,000 dollars is paid to send Joel to REHAB. My parnter who happens to be my wife was on this phone call and asks what does this have to do with business? Wolfgang Replies "He need his DRUGS! I will email the photographs! DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY POSITION?!!?!)

We kindly accept these digusting photographs apparently Joel and Wolfgang in their underwear with Joel with a crackpipe in his hand!!!!

My wife is now is on XANAX, we lost 1000's of dollars because of this SCAM. I would not tolerate this and tried to contact the authorities but to no help whatsoevever.

In conclusion,

The investigation shows that Wolfgang Demmel works with Joel Pritchard selling IP addresses and lies. Supplies him with his "MEDICINE" Joel Pritchard used to work for a company called CRITICAL.NET and SUAVEMENTE.COM

They are spammers and scammers! BE CAREFUL these people are scary!

This comes from ripoffreport.com, a site doing reputation blackmailing in an unabashed fashionⁱⁱ worthy of the "revenge porn" roots of its owners (and for the record, BitBet's blackjack is apparently still very broken, not that it ever had any to begin with).

Make of it what you will, but if you're one of the ~25 million people whose emails were accidentally published by some spammers and ended up indexed by google... perhaps you have other priorities than to complain to me about it.

Then again, if experience's any guide...
