Deadbeat Scammer - owner of FFPulse - Zac Erwin (1 Viewer)

The Real Yoda

I hate to be making a thread like this. But after 6 months of lies and now 1 month of silence (meaning he no longer responds to e-mails or even pretends to be trying to pay up) I have to come out with the truth. I doubt I will be getting any money back at this point; but it appears this guy is not a low profile person and I don't want anybody else to get scammed. Hopefully this can stay in the Shark Pool for everyone to see.

The long story short is that I joined a league 1 year ago where Zac Erwin (http://twitter.com/#!/ZacErwin) was the commish. The league was named "House Football #3" and can be found here (although I think he made it private, obviously). http://www26.myfantasyleague.com/2011/home/12289#0

It was a smallish buyin league, $50; unfortunately there was no leaguesafe. You know how the story ends. The league finishes, payouts are never made. I later found out he also created a league House IV and did not payout there either.

There are 5 "House" leagues in all; however as it turns out, another person named Jeremy is the commish and money handler of House 1, 2, and 5. He knows Zach personally but has claimed that he has nothing to do with House 3 or 4 and just let him manage those leagues separately. He made it sound like he would try to help us recover the money has also "gone dark" for the last several weeks and clearly doesn't care. House 1/2/5 have all paid out the winnings and there does not appear to be any problems there.

I sincerely hope these people are not ever trusted with anyone elses money and I found it despicable and pathetic that he was allowed to rip everybody off.

 
WHOIS lookup indicates Projected Domain Services. TWitter feed seems to have gone dark. FFPulse Site is down. SEems you're SOL

Ya I just noticed the site doesn't appear to be up anymore, doh. I was pretty convinced I'm SOL either way. But just in case these people ever surface again I don't want anybody else to lose their money. My stupidity for joining a non-leaguesafe league but lesson learned.
 
Scammer also goes by Zachary. His full name is Zachary Erwin. His team name was RoCkStaR. He has a facebook account. He is on twitter quite a bit, but has been silent as of late. He also signs onto gmail quite a bit. I don't think you're SOL, Yoda, it's just a matter of getting the right people involved.

Lesson learned, folks. Use LeagueSafe. I know I will in the future.

 
Getting to the point we need our own scammers forum. Ridiculous.
I've seen "known scammers" stickies on other football forums, BBQ forums...heck, even a Disney forum I've been to has one. :bag: I think that if not a whole forum, at least a stickied thread (yes, even if in the Looking for Leagues forum) would be of great service to the FBG community.
 
Wow, this post "somewhat" hits close to home mostly because my main league is the "Erwin Invitational."

Just want to put it out there that this "Zac" guy does not represent the integrity of the rest of the Erwin leagues out there.

That's all I have to say about that.

 
No wonder I am having trouble getting people in the dynasty league I run to want to pony up a whopping $10 each for a league trophy. Too many pieces of crap out there.

Tons of scammers on the automobile sites I frequent as well. These lowlifes are all over the place.
