List of people so far scammed by Richard

Richard Driver's scams have gone back more than just recently, doing a little bit of background google search on him, he has been scamming people mercilessly for years.

I post this in hopes of helping those unfortunate people that will have to deal with him for years to come.

Exhibit A:

http://www.ozemedia.com/cgi-bin/webbbs/webbbs_config.pl?read=41575

This forum had 3 people that posted about 2 years ago about their dealings with Richard. When I did my background check on him, I suspected in my gut something was wrong, but just 2-3 people being angry about someone wasn't enough for me to conclusively decide he was a fraud. Unfortunately for me I was wrong. Don't fall into this trap.

Exhibit B:

This is another forum where the moderator did a background search of Richard Driver and his websites and found out that the server which he hosts has been "blacklisted" for spam. Richard talks big about his websites and how successful they are, but doesn't tell the people he works with the truth behind what the motives of his website as well as true earnings really are.

This link provides 2 experiences by "ericm" and "jamestPickett" about Richard Driver's scams.

Read them.

Exhibit C

This is a series of posts by Steve Wagenheim about his own dealings with Richard. The posts are self-explanatory about the lies and deceit behind Richard Driver.


Exhibit D

James . This is a personal friend of mine that met Richard Driver through the Warrior forum and asked Richard Driver to mentor him.

A sum of money later as well as zero mentorship and false promises, Richard Driver disconnects James and is no longer in contact with him.

Richard Driver commented in my previous post about Eric and I backstabbing James behind the scenes to remove him from a project we were all working on.

Richard Driver writes:

"Olivier Vo,

You failed to tell the whole story on how you and Eric went behind the scene to back stab James . You knew very well that the only reason to hold the event was with James.You and Eric both told me in person and on Skype that you didn't like him as a business person and you didn't want to work with him.Get your facts and the truth straight."

This is a big faced lie because the strongest evidence AGAINST the fact that we backstabbed anyone is James HIMSELF.


I speak with James on a regular basis and James told me the entire story from his perspective. He sent me the entire skype conversation documented between him and Richard Driver so I was able to objectively understand the story.

The results of the pages and pages of skype conversations were enough for me to find out what a sick man Richard Driver is. At James's request I will not publish the copies of the converstaion but it ranged from everything from empty promisses unfulfilled to extremely angry accusations towards James. Richard Driver will be very nice and helpful to a prospect but does so only for alterior motives. His primary motive is to suck as much money as possible from unsuspecting victims and leave them to hang with nothing but a bag full of empty promisses and lies.

Exhibit E

Yours truly Olivier and Eric. This blog.

Exhibit F

Richard Driver, moderator of IM4newbies website has been banned for reasons not explained in the post.

http://www.im4newbies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=35865&sid=f1b45980101093dc87c645ca912af6d0

Reasons? What kind of a reputation does a forum have if one of its moderators is a lying cheating scammer?

I thank the administration of im4newbies for reacting quickly to the banning of Richard Driver. Scam artists and lying thieves need to be thrown into the light so that everyone can see who they are dealing with.


Temporary Conclusion:


We did not contribute this blog to be spiteful. I've never called someone out like this before. I just felt that I had a moral obligation to call Richard out to warn others about the lies and empty promisses that is Richard Driver.


In fact this blog can be filled with probably hundreds of exhibits and victims of Richard Driver.

I encourage all those see this blog and have had the same experiences with him to post in the comments section so we can publish it for all to see.

If only I stumbled upon this much evidence I would have been able to steer clear and away from him.

Hi there,

I was just reflecting on past mistakes from a few years ago and came across this site. Richard Driver was a big mistake - he got away with $3,000 of my money.

As per our contract, I was responsible for sorting out the graphics (we had agreed to hire graphic designers), though Richard was responsible for managing the money.

Of course, whenever I tried to contact Richard to get the money (I had nothing left after paying this to Richard), I never got a response. Through Skype & email, he didn't often reply - and when he did, he wasn't very polite.

Eventually he broke off the deal and kept my money - arguing I had breached the contract by not sorting out the graphics. Richard had all the funds and never released the money, making it impossible for me to get the graphics done. I later discovered I wasn't the only one!

Thanks,

Zach Woodham
