Re: [ga] European MP says "unbelievable" German high school student getting away with domain scam

Hi Matthew:

In case you aren't aware, let me fill you in. Joe Baptista attempted to extort 
shares
of stock in a company called UNIDT back in 2005 and when they wouldn't give in 
to
his extortion attempts, he launched a campaign of slander and lies against the 
operators
of that company. The German student is a businessperson who is operating a 
business 
that is an affiliate of a company (INAIC - www.inaic.com) that is associated 
with UNIDT
the victim of this extortion attempt. Joe is using this poor student as a pawn 
in his
insane vendetta against the operators of INAIC, many of which were involved in 
the 
company UNIDT that was a victim of Joe. 

Joe Baptista is a known internet predator who has a long history of 
psychopathic behavior
on the internet, dating back to the days of the old BBS systems. He started out 
by fax-bombing
the Toronto police department in the early 90's and it has continued on from 
there.

He has been tossed out of almost all online forums and organizations to which 
he once belonged,
including the Top Level Domain Association lists. I can speak from experience 
as I am a member
of the TLDA Board of Directors and the former chairperson of that same board.

The "story" that Joe has posted on his website regarding the student at 
Gymnasium Querfurt
is a fabrication entirely of Joe's making. It is written by him to sound as if 
it is from an
authoritative journalistic source, but is actually entirely created by him as 
part of a carefully
crafted campaign of slander to discredit the people associated wn or peruse the 
archives of the e-mail list that has been set up to keep track of
Joe's antisocial online behavior. This list is located at

    Matthew thanks for taking the time to verify this. Unfortunately you didn't 
do a good job of it. 

  Hmm, I also have a record from his office - from a different assistant - 
we'll just have to see what comes back this time.  
   

    For the record here is the email from the office of Albrecht.


  I'm not going to forward the email that I received to a public list, that 
would be rather rude.  I have to say that the advice "if you think you have 
been defrauded go to the (relevant) police" isn't particularly startling, nor 
is it indicative that the MEP or their office consider that there has actually 
been a fraud.  I'll stick to my original statement that I know nothing about 
the facts of the case.



    Incidentally .. the story also contains a quote from Keith Teare the well 
known founder of RealNames who the sn or peruse the archives of the e-mail list

read the various sites", Teare said, "looks like a major scam".


   I don't know Keith - but then I'm on this list as a security person, not as 
a domain entrepreneur.  Although I used to be an EasyNet customer ...
