By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - And yet another of Arthur Youngblood Hawk's victims is heard from. I just received the following via email, and this story seems typical of all the rest: "We fell for it too--we paid Arthur Hawk $1500 to publish a Patient Survival Guide. Of course, we are both too ill to do the work ourselves, and we thought he had a patented ebook system (turns out he cheated a designer into half building the book for us, and then did not pay her). So we have a poorly designed ebook, no way to fix it, and of course, nowhere to post it. We should have been more careful, and will be in the future. However, we did google his name and came up only with his "reputable press..." Deena Larsen http://www.deenalarsen.net" Typical of his modus operandi - he promises to do something, collects the money, does not follow through, then hauls-ass for greener pastures. Nice guy. And, most of his victims just get "nicked" but not taken for their life savings, so they are less inclined to spend a whole lot of effort or resources to chase the guy down and get him locked up. And, of course there's practically no chance of ever getting your money back, because he eats what he steals.
Class A Scumbag in my book. Anyone else? Please write me at don@panama-guide.com. Since most of his scams seem to prey on people who are relatively Internet literate, I'm hoping to make this prick Google-famous - to lessen his effectiveness. Hey, anything I can do to help...
