Where do I start concidering a lot has already been said on this site. She and John Carmody (Carmody Ford) have disgraced the dealership his father built many years ago. Distroyed any peasure in working there. Brought fear on the dedicated employees and some friends. Alienated customers because of the drama that has seepeded into the community. Caused a police presence at the dealership. For what? So John and his 22 year old asian escort can play while his employees are left to deal with the B.S.
Everyone is tired of the of it! No one wants to be interrogated by John about who is leaking info. No one wants shallow calls from her about how concerened she is about John. This whole thing is so pathetic and immature. She leads him around by the nose. And manipulates him easily. Look, she's 22 years old. This idiot thinks she wants him, instead of his money. If chasing Albany hood rats is his thing, he should sell the dealership to someone who respects it and be on his way.
I received a few sketchy email from members of this site before I became a paying member. A very attractive woman is contacting me from 1000 miles away. I just figured they're marketing by using their own fake profiles. I became a paying member and contacted a couple of women who peaked my interest. Little did I know during the 2 weeks I was a member, they were using my profile to do a similar thing to women. I received responses from women I never contacted and who were too far away. I have a screen cap of an example of what was transpiring. I also have the user names of 3 other women who also received the same messages that were purported to be from me. I asked several to send me a screen cap. Only one did, but that was all I needed. I'm not going to include the screen cap here for privacy reasons.
If you run into Valetine on Seekingarrangement.com, run very far away. She is a professional scam artist going from city to city. She will get what she wants from you, give you a fake address and then vanish.
She is certainly gorgeous and sophisticated, so you will fall into her trap very easily, and I hope you haven't already.
I think her name is Valerie Bodmer although there is no record of her anywhere. so it's probably fake. She claims to be 34 which is probably close. No children, never been married. Swiss in origin, lived in London, Toronto, Phoenix, Florida, etc.
Very fashionable, knows her stuff. Very expensive tastes, and she gets what she wants.
"Bob" JCrew1 on SeekingArrangement.com Miami Beach Yacht LIQUIDITY Small yacht with GIANT black all capps letters spell LIQUIDITY Doubt he owns it. Wealth Management Louisville, KY 502-653-052 Fraud. Met in Miami Beach Marina Pier K Says he dry docks the boat every time he goes back to Louisville Uses Fake phone number BEWARE. DO NOT SEE Likes to offer parking in the Marina Parking lot. Walks you to boat. Gets you a drink. Walks you to Smith & Wollensky on the boardwalk. Sits at an outside bar in the heat. Orders appetizers at 7pm. 9pm says he has to be up at 4am to fly out. Says he flew in a day early. But has an emergency to Leave the next day. Uses a bunch of photos with him and race cars. Never talks about racing. Totally a bore. He's just a scammer looking to use women. The ones stupid enough to fall for him.
Recently I was contacted by Brandon wade of seeking arrnagement on facebook. He requested to help me work for him, in trade he would pay me. I offered to let him pay my rent instead. He then offered me 1800 dollars to ghost write a book for him. recently he cancalled my rent payment, and then called me scum, white trash. While men pay for his dating site, he is using it to pick up on women. While his girlfriend sleeps in bed. He got upset because I didn't wnat to sleep with him. He made brags that when men would cancel memberships he would threaten to call their wives. I would highly recommend if your 1. married don't go to his site, he will out your affair, and plus while you search for all these women he will actually be contacting them as well. He provided me with identities of men "well powered" men who was on his site.
Many of the ladies’ profiles resemble the output of an industrial-scale production machinery. I imagine a team of men sitting in an office constructing ladies’ profiles all day long, attaching photos from some large stock archive.
Many profiles on SA contain several of these phrases:
- Let me bring light back into your life.
- I am a force to be reckoned with, but emit only positivity - something I'd love to see in the world
- Something many can attest to, is the radiance and glow that often follow me
- I am seeking a gentleman. Someone honest, direct, and kind.
- has the means and desire to support, dote on, and guide me
- wise, generous and willing to share his insight
- I want financial support and great memories.
- I'm certain we'll get along just fine - don't sigh too loudly at my corny jokes.
- Treat me respectfully and I will do the same for you. We are both here for a reason.
You can search for these phrases on the internet and see how common they are. This is obviously industrial-scale production. It would be very easy for SA to set up an alert to the administrator every time a profile is created containing the above phrases, and then shut down those accounts for obvious fakery. The question is why they don't do this. Another question is how many of their "millions" of profiles, a number they use to encourage people to hand over money to them, are such fakes.
I have reported the fakery to SA's customer service, but they never respond, never take down the offending profiles, and indeed new ones continue to appear.
Often there are contradictions in these profiles, e.g. in the profile attributes they select the box for seeking "Men" and "Women", but in the free-text description they write "I'm looking for a man". I've seen quotation marks at the beginning or end of descriptions containing the above phrases, and other indications of sloppy and impersonal industrial-scale copy/paste in the profiles.
SA's founder Brandon Wade responded in report #684478 that "we never employ fake profiles". So, Brandon, if it's other people who are creating these obviously fake profiles, many of which are months, even years old, what prevents you from automatically detecting them and immediately removing them?
In the last couple of days just before your paid membership expires, there is a surge of interest in you, and a number of carefully crafted but generic incoming messages from people who obviously have an incompatible personality and goals, and nothing in common with you, but write lengthy messages praising your profile and expressing a desire to develop a relationship, without quoting a single specific attribute from your profile that they actually liked. They could send this "let's talk" message to hundreds of departing members and it would be equally valid. To continue messaging at this point, you have to pay more money to the site. These people act like the "retentions dept", even if they weren't actually hired by Brandon Wade.
Having said all that, I have called, met up with, and personally gotten to know a few good people from that site in real life. There is no doubt there are SOME real people on SA, just not as many as SA claims when they take your money.
Seekingarrangements.com is a website that gives the APPEARANCE that it provides a SAFE AND SECURE environment to meet people and exchange information. Nothing can be further from the truth. This company is really run half-a**ed, the technology is often broken (and I will give specific examples) and they won't give refunds. if they did honor their service, they would have to give everyone refunds!!
Its very scammy, does not delete your personal data when you tell it to and they will use your images as if they are their own copyright despite your claim otherwise. They are very open to another breach just like the Ashley Madison incident and will not confirm or deny security measures of any substance. They DON"T encrypt your personal information and everyone who is on there is very, very vulnerable.
I think anyone who has ever signed up with Seekingarrangements.com shoudl immediatley file a fraud chargeback and file a complaint with the US Secret service for abuse of credit cards. And then file a complaint with your states attorney general and the FTC.
Their service does not work and often displays warnings that are false and misleading, warnings that you are doing something that you are clearly not doing. The technology is broken and when you bring it to their attention, a lady by the name of Amanda (or an alias for some fat guy) completely ignores the content of the email or concern. Even when its about technology related or privacy related complaint.
Stay away from this service, its very shady and there are no refunds. I even think that they populate people in your local signup area to give the impression that there are people using their service when in fact, they are not. Shady, decieptive, broken Las Vegas company....slots must not be working for them.

Also goes by Anlora, she's in Phoenix now
Scammer, don't fall for her bs, she'll take you for lots of $$ then give you a wrong address.
