Two new near identical messages of woe - seems Gene is working harder on the storylines for his fans.

First (I think this is for newsletter subscribers):



Then just 30 minutes later (forum members):
jesus christ, when you think he has normalized the "storyline" he jumps the shark again, i can't even see what is the funniest bit in this one!
 
Steinbeg is an entitled prick at the best of times.

One can presume that he really tests the patience of the motel staff by making excessive demands. It is likely that he pushes his luck with trying to pay his bill as late as he possibly can and also tries to wrangle extras and freebies he is not entitled.

The Gene Steinbeg mantra is "try not to pay at all but if you have to pay, pay as late as possible and get as much for free as you possibly can".

If this is all true and he really has been kicked out twice then he may be fast approaching a time when all the decent local motels blacklist him via word of mouth as it is likely that word spreads fast in the motel community.

He absolutely deserves it though.

The guy treats everyone else like crap but expects that everyone else should give him special treatment like an old world aristocrat.

Being forced to live in a truly low rent motel might confront him with the realities of life that he has so far been cushioned from.

That might also get him to refocus on what is important, like spending money on necessities (not Iphones and fancy cars) and getting a real job instead of indulging adolescent fantasies about being a radio personality (that most sane people would have given up on in their twenties).

Then again being Steinbeg - with his skewed and twisted mind, it might just make him believe that he needs to become even more extravagant in his begging and parasitic schemes.

Many hotels and motels across the street from one another are owned by the same people. Sometimes there are two or three people or corporations that own all the lodging in a busy place. The help moves back and forth too. Get on the shit list, and you might be looking for a new town. Being abusive and unreasonable is pretty much the fastest way onto the shit list. Well, that and not paying!

I did a Google search and this thread came up in 3rd place on the first page of results...

I think one thing that might help Gene, maybe, is that even if people do a Google search on him, that's a lot of info to wade through and it's not (imho) immediately apparent exactly what the problems with Gene are. I think it should be enough to raise a red flag and I would hope people would then read the material to figure out what's up but, believing as I do a lot of people just skim or want the bottom line quickly (or want to see a short video and not have to read anything more than a tweet).

Anyway, just a thought I had. To me if you do pay attention you see the problems, but look even at this forum, how many will go through a 123 page discussion? Which I just lengthened.... :)

You only have to look at the headings to see that money and finances are what comes up when searching for Gene Steinberg. That alone should be a flag for most people. Read on if you really want to find out about his shenanigans.

It's true, you give him a scenario, he'll turn it into a snafu .

His posts write themself. (themselves?)

Forgive me my grammer, English and I are not on such good speaking terms.

Are we to assume that if he is down to a $1.80 from PayPal that people are finally catching on? The till is drying up and he needs to find other means to pay the bills.

He's getting a two day refund back from the motel but his room paid only until tomorrow morning?...b008

View attachment 3975

he is allegedly getting a refund from the 2nd motel.
so let's say he paid hotel roach for two nights and demanded a refund.
instead of demanding the refund in cash. he had it put back on his card.
the process takes about 48 hours.
when I was Robbed the thieves managed to use it at a convince store to get $25.00 in cigs gas etc. it took 48 hours to get the cash back.
But demanding a refund in cash is right away.
unless the hotel did not have the cash..

He didn't say in any of his e-beggings that he paid up a few days ahead, he has been saying he's only paid until the next morning lately, as far as I know...xxxx2

Today's second message. It appears a major disaster has occurred:

Disaster!
Hi,

It’s been one thing after another since the motel reservation foul-up on Saturday.

So I’ve been online and accepting ads since 2000. Never had a problem.

Now one if our clients, who got what he paid for, filed a chargeback with his bank for a refund.

So my PayPal account is suddenly nearly $200 underwater. The motel needs to be paid today.

Even if it’s settled in my favor, and it should be, it may take up to 30 days to get my money back.

Sometimes I wonder if I should just pack it in and live on the street. But what about Barbara and Teddy Bear?

Despite everything, I’m working hard with our webmaster/marketing person to finish up, at long last, the Paracast site.

I’m trying real hard to stay positive.

In the meantime, can you help me survive a while longer?

1. "Got what he paid for" - I doubt the client paid for an advert that nobody would listen to on a podcast which has no credibility. If I had advertised with Schemey I would want a refund too. Even 10 cents to advertise on a podcast nobody listens to anymore is too much. I bet Schemey inflated his listening figures when selling the adverts too - if the customer reports that to Paypal there is no way they will take Schemey's side and since Schemey doesn't like transparency there is no way he would take it further.

2. We have seen Schemey's advertising price list (a recent copy courtesy of Paul Kimball if I remember right). Those prices begin at well over $1000. Even if he gave them a big discount the $200 figure has to be wrong. If he had 1.80 in his Paypal account and over a thousand dollars was charged back he would be more than $200 under. Schemey's arithmetic fails meaning he must have had more than $1.80 in the account. That is assuming any of this happened which you always have to say when it comes to Schemey.
