    Quoted from zacaj:

    He basically just seems to be stealing a variety of pinball repair stuff from around the internet, reformatting it, and uploading it to his.

    Not just that... uses Scrooge McDuck on his "Profit Sharing" page... I doubt it is enough to sic Disney on him, but that would certainly shut him down quick.

    Quoted from Spyderturbo007:

    This Eric guy sounds like he's full of shit.

    From the stuff others have posted from his Facebook, etc. it is pretty clear he is a "legend in his own mind."

    I cringed pretty hard when I saw he actually lists his "Concord Law School" J.D. That is even more embarrassing than "Thomas M. Cooley" (which takes anyone (most of whom are grossly unqualified) then weeds them out), "Florida Coastal" and "Charlotte."

    At least the last three I mentioned are accredited by the American Bar Association (though Charlotte is on the verge of losing that).

    No wonder he is not a practicing attorney, he probably can't pass the bar and gain admission (he isn't admitted in California (which is a pre-requisite since they allow people from unaccredited law schools to sit for the bar exam) or Pennsylvania).

    It's amazing how brazen some scammers can be... a few years back someone cloned Reed College's entire website and called it "University of Redwood" (yes singular not plural) and watched the application fees roll in.

    http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2011/02/fake_california_school_steals.html

    As far as deluded individuals go, one of my favorites is "Xavier Alvarez" (first person prosecuted under the original version of the "Stolen Valor Act") who not only lied about receiving a Congressional Medal of Honor, but also playing hockey for the Detroit Red Wings, marrying a Mexican starlet, and rescuing an American ambassador during the Iranian hostage crisis.

    There is also the unintentionally hilarious "Impossible is Nothing" promo video Aleksey Vayner sent potential employers who laughed their asses off and passed it around

    That kid's lies were so over the top he actually there is actually a wikipedia page devoted to them

    Quoted from Gatecrasher:

    No degree is worthless. They are only as worthless or worthwhile as the person who holds them.

    In general, I agree... but as far as a J.D. from Concord (or any other unaccredited graduate or undergraduate program) goes, good luck getting your money's worth out of it.

    Quoted from randyfromm:

    He lists ... the last four of his social security number...

    Who does that?!

    Quoted from Mike_M:

    Coincidental mistake or malicious?

    Obviously Randy has secretly been ripping all this stuff off from Wildcard for years, and WC finally got it removed...

    Quoted from Underspin:

    Wow. Join the member area and access his instructional golf "vidios"

    Ripping off niche content producers like Randy and Clay is bad enough, but if this guy is also repackaging mainstream PGA/LPGA (or other professionally produced) training videos without permission, he either gained nothing of value from his "legal education" (from an unaccredited law school that I would be embarrassed to have anywhere near my resume), has a cognitive or psychological mental problem (or both), or is involved in some bizarre form of "live action role playing."

    Can't wait till he starts a home video business streaming movies that are still in the theater... the MPAA will not mess around with that one.

    Here's hoping a local Pinsider signs up for his private golf lessons and asks about his other interests while they are on the links... I bet the stories would get even better after some time at the 19th hole.

    I'd love for someone to take him up on the "golf lessons" and keep asking for demonstrations of the various tactics he is teaching then report back (maybe with video taken for educational purposes).

    Be nice to have him on record talking about other businesses interests too.

    Bullshitters like this really amaze me... I mean what has to be going on in your head when you decide, in your 40s and 50s, that the way to be the successful person you want to be is to spin all these ridiculous tales (shouldn't you have already learned that does not work by second grade)?

    Like the quote by people who track down fake soldiers/stolen valor claimants "There were about 500 SEALs that operated in Vietnam, and I’ve met all 20,000 of them!"
