I've heard of this happening before as well, where it involves a person working on some sort of creative or intellectual property and people around that person attempt to hide the fact that they are the ones working on it, and instead make it appear to be originating from someone else.
The scam even utilizes equipment to spy on the person they're targeting for this, and specifically their computer, in order to gain information about the creative or intellectual property involved and then using that information and media they copy from spying on the target's computer to lure money from investors without the person whose content they used even being made aware.
This also can happen with actual websites, where the scammers use the published content on a website and lure investment money, with the money going to people that have nothing to do with that effort, and nothing going to the person who actually made the effort in the first place.
This scam also targets people in difficult living situations, who are struggling writers or artists, and whose content is stolen from them and used to lure investor money which then ends up in the hands of people not associated with the actual creator of the content. I've even heard of situations involving celebrities who've invested in such scams, without knowing that they'd given their money to people who'd stolen the content and essentially disappeared with the money.
In the worst cases, these people will even defend their claim of the content against the original creator, sometimes even going to court to complete the theft with the investment money paying for legal fees and sometimes in rare cases, the investors even helping to steal the content this way.
This usually involves the people part of a scam of that nature, first hiding or replacing the identity of the person from whom they're attemtping this scam. This involves giving people the impression that they are a different person than they actually are in real life. Such as indicating the person to be a guitar player when they're not, and basically associating all of the qualities of the writer with the person they are using as the impostor creator, to help them lure the investment money and steal the content. I believe that this is exactly how this cult tried to steal my identity and possible investment money, which then would have ended up in someone else's hands, possibly even from a very famous celebrity.
These scams and the collectives that protect them can be considerably large and interconnected, especially in the communities they operate and often the persons responsible have a history of such activity (related to multiple attempts at content theft for personal gain). As well, I've heard of situations like this being conducted by residents of the same building, who gang up on a person they're actively spying upon and have been targeting for some time, over which time they collect enough media to pull off the scam. There are technologies that allow people in neighbouring apartments to spy illegally on another person's computer without their knowing, not to mention keyloggers as well and security backdoors in many client programs that can be misused for the purposes of such theft by corrupt admins.
I just wanted you to know that Shhhh! Digital Media is produced entirely by Brian Joseph Johns, and that I am a European Canadian about 6 feet tall and about 175lbs with green eyes. I live in my home office at 200 Sherbourne Street Suite 701 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I am not a guitar player, but I am a skilled keyboard player. I am also a programmer. I am a former intermediate formally trained martial artist (despite what anyone says). Years ago I was a skilled horseback rider as well. I am currently 57 years old.
I've never received any investment money for Shhhh! Digital Media content, so if you know of someone having used my content and claimed to be the creator of it who has then attempted to lure investment money, I'd appreciate it if you could forward me an email with a brief description about what you know at legal@shhhhdigital.com. I can't offer any reward money so I'm asking you to do this out of your own good conscience.
I've made effort to make sure that my content isn't being used elsewhere as that would be disasterous for my brand.
If such a thing were to happen with my content, I would seriously consider shutting down. Its funny but after my creating this post, many of my neighbours involved in my local harassment started behaving kind of off from how they usually behave.
Also, this content is only created and published in and from Canada and never from any location other than 200 Sherbourne Street Suite 701 Toronto, Ontario, Canada and it has never been created or published anywhere else or with the coordinated assistance of others, except those credited in every post. I have no girlfriends or romances in other countries but that's not beyond the realm of possibility at all, and as I've stated before, my own love interest is Southeast Asian but not Filipino with all due respect. I've never collaborated on this website or any of the content herein with a romantic partner or spouse and I am currently single. Much the same, I have never actively collaborated except with those I've credited. For me so far, this has been a labour of love, with the goal of eventually it becoming self supporting and able to provide for myself and a few other employees. If I achieved that kind of success, I'd gladly grow this as far as I could.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
