Gene Steinberg's Financial Shenanigans @ Paracast forums

Alien

Adept
It's still collapsing!

Hi,

Here’s where it stands as of Wednesday morning, Arizona time:

I have to extend the reservation again this morning to keep a roof over my head.

With more rain expected in Arizona today, I have to be extra careful when I drive. The car’s tires are worn, and they wore unevenly meaning that a wheel alignment is needed.

There’s more, but I have to deal with these now.

The PayPal issue will be resolved soon.

For now, here’s how you can help me right away:

The best and fastest way to help is via Facebook Messenger, which provides for instant money transfers to my bank debit card. You can even use your PayPal account as a funding source.

Here’s my Facebook page:

Gene Steinberg

If you’re not using Facebook, or don’t want to send money via that method, you can use Western Union or Moneygram. Walmart has a deal with Moneygram that offers a lower rate. You can send payments at your nearest Walmart store, or use the following link:

https://walmart.moneygram.com/walmart/us/en/

For me to pick up the money, I’ll need a tracking number.

Another way to help is via Venmo, a peer-to-peer app to send money. My user name is @Gene-Steinberg-2. But it takes from 1-3 days to transfer money to a bank account.

Please write me if you have questions about these payment methods.

If you’re not able to send a donation, feel free to forward this message to someone who might assist.

In the meantime, I’m still working, still doing my radio shows. That major site update and new online store are both coming. As usual, it’s just taking longer than I want to get the work done.

So yet another way to help is to sign up for The Paracast+. It’s a way to download The Paracast without the network ads. We also offer the exclusive After The Paracast podcast.

If one in ten of my listeners subscribed to The Paracast+, I wouldn’t have to worry about donations and outside gigs to stay afloat. For more details, please visit: Introducing The Paracast+ | The Paracast — The Gold Standard of Paranormal Radio

If you have any questions about my living situation, please let me know.

Gene's latest states that things are still collapsing! (I have always distrusted those who overuse exclamation points, so to be clear that part is the usual quote from Gene).

Still, it does not seem particularly dire. His tires are bad but he can still drive carefully in the rain. That should take him to the free senior meals in Mesa. And if he can still drive for Uber or Lyft, the rain might encourage people to get out more and call for a ride.

Then he expects the Pay Pal situation to be resolved soon. I'll take him at his word. That will give Gene a nice windfall since the money will be restored to his account and funds he has collected in the wake of his problems will be on top of that.

Then again he has reassured us that the Paracast update is coming soon. All of his troubles will surely be over.

So there is nothing to worry about. People can direct their charity towards true collapses and disasters.

He is referring to his toupe.

Big surprise (for Gene). Motel needs to be paid for staying there.

With more rain expected in Arizona today, I have to be extra careful when I drive.
Which is hardly ever.

The car’s tires are worn, and they wore unevenly meaning that a wheel alignment is needed.
LOL it sounds like the made up garbage emergency it is.

There’s more, but I have to deal with these now.
Of course. There is always more with Gene. He just hasn't thought of new things to ask for yet. He is too lazy to come up with all the storylines right away.

The PayPal issue will be resolved soon.
I agree. Can't be long until they get enough complaints to ban him completely.

For me to pick up the money, I’ll need a tracking number.
Lol I suspect someone probably pranked him which is why he needs to say this now.

Another way to help is via Venmo, a peer-to-peer app to send money. My user name is @Gene-Steinberg-2. But it takes from 1-3 days to transfer money to a bank account.
A new payment method. Lol even then he is an impatient bastard and has to tell you off for sending him money this way. Oh the horror! I await the request for Amazon Gift Cards accompanied by a complaint about how long it takes for him to cash them out.

If you’re not able to send a donation, feel free to forward this message to someone who might assist.
Like that will ever happen. "If my own panhandling is insufficient please do it for me."

In the meantime, I’m still working, still doing my radio shows.
Translation - "Still NOT working and sitting on my rear end indulging my worthless hobby".

That major site update and new online store are both coming.
Yes sadly by the time they arrive Gene will be dead and nobody will care. They are the podcast equivalent of Half Life 3.

As usual, it’s just taking longer than I want to get the work done.
Strange how nothing ever comes on time for Gene. How is that even possible unless he just makes it up?

If only he had pushed this angle before he resorted to fraudulently begging and whilst he still had an audience it might have been true. Unfortunately, despite his obvious lack of mathematical ability (particularly when it comes to money) even Gene should realise that one tenth of zero is zero.

If you have any questions about my living situation, please let me know.

I never believe anything that Steinberg says. I looked at the Paracast forum last night and today. There were zero and one members online. Not exactly a positive sign. I suspect that Constance and Bigfoot Lady are those members. Any “improvements” to the website would be for adding money to Steinberg's pocket. I can’t see new members flocking to the Paracast to buy more trinkets and shirts. All in all, he is delusional if he thinks that will improve an already dead website.

Hunh, I'm not always the most careful reader but, this is the first time I recall seeing this statement in these emails:

"If one in ten of my listeners subscribed to The Paracast+, I wouldn’t have to worry about donations and outside gigs to stay afloat."

Sooo... maybe make The Paracast+ more appealing and promote it better? I dunno. I'm really skeptical even if he got the numbers he wants he'd ever, ever stop asking for donations. I can believe he'd drop the alleged "outside gigs" as I doubt he's pursuing them now.

Has the taken the TechNightOwl off the market?

Also: "That major site update and new online store are both coming." Anders lives!

Stand by for the next "Unexpected Emergency!".

I think the payment for the storage unit for all of his valuable stuff is due in 3 days.

So where is this photo of him inside a casino at? Just curious...
I’m sorry to say I didn’t save that photo when I saw it. It shows Steinberg, his son and another man standing in a casino. Steinberg is pretending to put the Vulcan mind meld on his son. He wasn’t seated gambling unfortunately. He was peeved because he got grief for being in a casino in the first place.

Thanks -

Again, I'd say that just shows he's been in a casino. Whether or not he goes habitually, or gambles elsewhere, or gambles at all, I for one do not know.

It seems clear he is engaged in a desperate and never-ending scramble for cash, up to and including pay day loans. We know he doesn't use the money for rent, so what does he do with it? Gambling has been offered as one possible explanation, which certainly fits with the overall impression of Gene. But there's no proof I'm aware of.

Gene once gave the impression Barbara is a bit of a shut-in; who knows, grain of salt and all but if so would she go to a casino?

Gene's emails give me the idea he needs to get out and talk to people more, vs. obsessing about the state of his car's tires.

Correct, there is no proof of him gambling. The problem is he is showing himself at the casino and at the same time claiming he has a dollar in his bank account and must plead for others to pay his bills. If he can’t see how that looks he is a bigger dunce than I take him for.

Wow. I'm speechless. He has balls of steel being in a casino considering that he begs for $$$ 24/7. I bet people that have donated money to him were pleased to see a pic of him inside a casino. Thanks for sharing :)

Or that whilst he was begging from them he was buying new cars with $700/month payments, the latest Apple gear and living in luxury gated apartment communities. The guy seems to think he has a right to live beyond his means while begging for money and claiming one financial crisis after another. It's like in his brain he can't compute that people think that is unethical if not outright criminal.

Here is a quote I dug up on the UFO Magazine letters posted by David Biedny August 29, 2011:

For the record: while Steinberg now claims to drive a Honda, he informed me that he was leasing a BMW in 2009. And it wasn't Starbucks (there are those who like to make stuff up), Steinberg does indeed drive that leased car to buy coffee at a coffeehouse every single day. I once offered to buy him a coffee machine for home, he told me that his wife would obsessively drink coffee all day long if that happened (she's not all together - the whole thing about them getting their back account compromised? Steinberg's wife typed all their personal information into a phishing scheme site, it's not safe to let her anywhere near interactive technology). The fact remains, Gene has used the Paracast as a platform to get $$$ from listeners and advertisers, he's never paid ANYONE back (he started hitting me up for $$$ within weeks of starting the show with him, in 2006), and the stories about getting money from some family legal settlement - that's also been going on for years now, no resolution, because it's a crock of crap.
