Do we know why it was cancelled? Maybe because of not selling enough tickets to pay for the guest they had scheduled.

But there is a link to get refund. mailto:refunds@extremeparacon.com

But would like to know if EVERYONE got their money back.

@GodOfWar: Also have a question about this event http://www.epiccon.com/, I am hearing the coordinator has been moving people from the supposed haunted hotel to across the street to the NOT haunted part of this hotel if they don’t give her 125.00 cash or paypal! what is going on with these people? is this the same scam here at the cavilier hotel?
..http://www.epiccon.com/Cavalier.html

These types of rip-offs are becoming a EASY fast buck for those who think the paranormal is full of gullible people..sad…:(

I have two people in our organization that both the expensive package with the room included about $265 each. For the first bit he sent emails making up excuses on the refunds and even when called. Now he has changed his cell phone number and “took the money and ran”

I have it from a good source that he is in the Fort Wayne, IN area now taking advantage of another female, which is also something he does as I have been emailed by several of his ex-girlfriends. One told me that he would take money from paypal when he got some payments on certain events he would run out and get cigs and beer.

He also tells some his daughter died when she was two or his parents passed away, etc. to get pity. His daughter is alive and well as are his parents. His daddy owns three homes in differernt states (summer, winter and another).

The list goes on and on. Maybe his intent wasn’t to rip off others, but he kept dipping into the pay pot from them until it ran dry and some events imploded and he had no funds to pay back.

I have been told he tells many of these ex-girlfriends (many that are strippers) that he can’t work a normal job as that would take time away from the paranormal.

Those ripped off need to file reports with the city or state’s Attorney General where the events were.

Yet again you sight things that are simply false and ridiculous, I do not know where to begin with your hate mongering and lies but to say….”GREAT INVESTIGATION WORK”…”NOT”! where are you really getting your stories and information? the fiction section of how to be a paranormal stalker and idiot!
The Andrew Beckham booking and paranormal night was deceptive by him and he is not welcome back at the castle! when you enter a town and Bragg on the radio and to the guest group, and then the owners of the castle that you are filming for your upcoming TV show?…which we discovered was not so, and the little circus he put on here really hurt the community and was fraudulent to the owners and the people who were there and paid so much to be part of the event. And we as the guests had to take over the hunt and all he did was drink out back and then sell event tickets and items off his table!..so yes I called him out just as I will you and anyone who takes advantage of people in my community. And that is the real story”INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU”!….But I know how you seem to distort anything you hear or what you think you know. It is sad that this has turned into a hate vendetta by you towards me and SMP, and all for what?..so you can get revenge or worse continue to lie to the public in order to hurt us! when this I thought was about the book comments?……as far as the other comments on the merger ending and your friend being booted and supposedly used…”PLEASE”! ask about his great record and client relations when he had his own group, “you know” the folks that lived on oak street in Kalamazoo, the ones that called in on an internet show and called him out!….. I will not be drawn out into talking about that here…..just know that you need help…real psychiatric help and I hope you get some soon…your lies and tirades no longer bother me and they bore me!….as you obviously have no sense of fact or fiction in your made up world of hate!..so do us all a favor and “SHUT UP”!…and you know why you and your screwed up friends do not like what we do and the way we do it…it’s because you can’t!…you and them cannot put yourselves out here in the honest way we do….because then…then…you will be seen as who you really are!.. a bunch of fringe cooks with dreams of grandeur, and bent on shouting down anyone who calls foul on you for your bent sense of wrong and right. Your reality and how a person makes his money from this business and field is very telling to those who are not sheep and see it for what it is…..ego…ego and ego!
Do not confuse our confidence and pride in what we do as ego! for it is not, but we are proud of our work in the community and the lives we have touched and helped. So in closing I will no longer banter back in forth with you on here as I said you bore me and you lie so much it is hard to even wonder where your going with these attacks but to simply fight with me like the little pathetic child you are! I would practice what you supposedly believe in watch the karma you folks are putting out into the universe….I would say your karma meter is just about empty!..and you sir..or madam..or whatever you are..put that were it belongs!….in your….well I am sure you will find a place?….it’s right where your head is! so good day to you! and I am sure you will continue to remark on here so have at it!… from here on in I refuse to respond to you morons!

How does their means of making money have anything to do with him? Heidi Klum could have dated him. He is a thief and should be thrown in jail.

I have to say when I got my first look at Andy B. and his “Para-Bimbos” on parade, I thought it HAD to be a joke…

My question is AGAIN how could anyone have taken this guy seriously in the first place?…I suppose the same naive folks that call a TAPS Family team when they think they may have supernatural disturbance…

one born every minute….

Also I’m looking into that “epiccon” event and will be addressing that farce in the near future…

This site has really gotten DEAD lately. Nobody is coming here anymore either. Its too bad, but I believe its because of a few things:

1. the owner is too close to the GH team in real life and his objectivity has been ‘misguided’

and

2. Because of #1 this site hasnt been reporting on actual stories that have been happening, like the magazine scandal as well as other important happenings.

@the truth:

So you think there has not been enough focus on G.H. at Scifake thus far and needs to be more? …

Is the story in this thread not “real” enough?…

Report this comment

At one point in time he was claiming during his ghost tours that his “group” was going to be on an episode of Paranormal State. I have an email from him confirming that. Of course it was false and I forwarded that info to PRS for them to take care of. I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him.

@GodOfWar:

@godofwar- the story is fine. I just think that every single Paraforum from here to South America is buzzing about how corrupt GH is. I guess I would expect to see more of what everyone is talking about….and yes that includes more GH fakery, corruption and rigging

what magazine scandal?

Report this comment

Well Jim I am glad you are interested since I contacted this website about it- they even said they were going to write a story on it but never did.

Basically taps mag has been selling subscriptions and not shipping out mags to customers. This started in the summertime and has only gotten worse recently. Not only are us subscribers not receiving mags, but we are not getting and responses from GH ‘customer service’ contact mails. This is a VERY well known situation in the GH forums at Sci-Fi and also at PUG forums and just about everywhere else. In fact it doesnt just extend to the mag, but also merchandise.

Taps fired their entire mag staff, and apparently hired ‘Scotty tarot card reader to the dead’ as their new editor 5 months back. Some whack job who has if anything made things worse. He promptly came into the GH forums at Sci-Fi saying how awesome he was and how he would fix things….well nothing has happened still and people paid money and are getting NOTHING in return.

Here is a magazine article link describing how corrupt Taps Paramag is:

As for posts on this topic they are everywhere. Here is the most recent one over at Sci-Fi GH forums:

http://forums.syfy.com/index.php?showtopic=2345092

Basically things have gone from bad to worse and now product like hats, stickers etc arent getting shipped either…
