OFFICIAL RAM BLUEBOOK VALUATION" is actually Brian L. McCarty, a pest on
rec.audio.marketplace, where he accuses innocent sellers of various
misdeeds. He appears to be a pathological liar, with unknown motivations.

McCarty is the owner of websites * w w w .coralseastudios . com , and
* w w w .worldjazz . com , both of which have used fraudulent advertising in
attempts to attract investors. Both have been unsuccessful. While
Worldjazz . com is still owned by McCarty, he does not currently use it to
promote a business interest.

McCarty is an American expatriate, originally from the Chicago area, then LA
where he worked as a sound mixer,
currently living in Cairns Australia, where he manages the Baskin-Robbins
ice cream franchise located at
Shop G6, 59 The Esplanade
Cairns QLD 4870
07 4051 4034

McCarty lives in the Coral Sands apartment complex at 65 Vasey Esplanade,
Trinity beach, a bit north of metropolitan Cairns.

Baskin-Robbins Australia may be contacted at
* w w w .baskinrobbins . com .au/home/contactus.asp

Despite the satirically altered photography of Brian McCarty that has
circulated the Internet, Brian is neither trim nor fat. He is about 6'2",
220 lbs, with a modest middle-age paunch. He has a fairly large bone
structure, but is not muscular. From the front, his face is squarish, and
apparently flat, the nose small. However, in profile, he has significant
mandibular protrusion, ie., extension of the lower jaw, in a "wicked witch"
profile. His eye sockets are deep. His eye color is grey.

Brian's hair is straight, and silver gray, with no signs of recession beyond
teenage levels. His face appears devoid of hair. His smile is always
close-lipped, probably to hide the cross bite malocclusion that accompanies
mandibular protrusion. He appears to have an airway restriction, which gives
his voice a choked upward pitch. His shoulders are very rounded.

The general appearance of Brian strongly resembles that of someone with
Klinefelter's syndrome, * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinefelter's_syndrome,
when the affected individual has two X chromsomes. While many such
individuals have intelligence in the normal range, there is a high
incidence of psychosis. The individual is almost always sterile. The breast
cancer rate is the same as among females, but when cancer occurs, it tends
to spread more aggressively.

Brian is not simply a stay-at-home Internet addict; we know that for a
number of years, he has made a game of "counting coup", or "super-spy",
traveling great distances to be physically near a stranger. It was
interesting to observe Brian playing his game. His face becomes a mask with
a pasted-on-smile, and his eyes become fish-eyes. His demeanor is
nonthreatening. He may linger alone, then mingle in a clot of people who do
not know him, using this fictitious association as a disguise.

The paradox of Brian is that in the past he has been a reasonably competent
businessman, with a few sparks of inspiration, once demonstrated by the
websites * w w w .worldjazz . com , and * w w w .coralseastudios . com .
But his dark side, with which we are all familiar, is the compulsion to
defame strangers, damage their businesses, steal identities, and even
destroy whole cyber-communities. Back in 2001, I decided to do what I could
to blunt his influence. I thought that, perhaps, McCarty was simply one of
those rough-edged individuals who we have come to know for their loud mouths
and domineering personalities. I hoped that Mr. McCarty could be dissuaded
from his antisocial activities. Instead, several of us became targets of
McCarty, and were plaintiffs in a law enforcement investigation. But
Internet law was an infant, and prosecution was then declined by the U.S.
Attorney, District of Connecticut.

In the intervening years, it became apparent that McCarty was involved in a
number of dubious enterprises, which shared a common theme. There is a
Twilight Zone that separates the overtly criminal from the legal, and an
even more nebulous region of offenses that, while technically illegal, are
never prosecuted. McCarty is apparently fascinated by The Zone, and fills it
with his fantasies: scams, undetectable harassments, nonmonetary indentity
theft, and so forth. Some of the things he has tried have been incredibly
nervy, with the quality of a Hollywood movie script. But all have been
failures, fueled by mania, but ungrounded in reality.

Brian is extremely upset right now. The chickens have come home to roost.
His standard of living is about to decline rather precipitously. While
Brian may blame other people, he has only himself to blame. Good, honest,
people do not want to work with individuals like himself who inhabit The
Zone.

Simply a lie.

*****VALUE ALERT!!!*****

McCarty is infringing on the intellectual property and trademarks of
Orion
Bluebooks Inc.
He is not authorized to represent them in any way.

Ironically, McCarty is himself a famous scammer.
In the below article, we discuss his two scam websites,
* w w w .worldjazz . com , and * w w w .coralseastudios . com .
These may or may not be visible to you because McCarty can't quite
decide
what domains he wants them to show in. Fortunately, we have multiple
anonymous proxy servers available to us.

Att: Members of the National Association of Broadcasters:

One of your members, Brian L. McCarty, is an investment scammer. The
site in question is * w w w .worldjazz . com . Although McCarty denies
any
association with the site, it is a matter of historical record that he
has
made over 7,550 posts on usenet as operations@worldjazz . com . This site
appears to comprise an investment offering, but in fact, is a bunch of
phony
names, nonexistent associations and affiliations. The site constantly
changes, but one thing is apparent: the intent to defraud investors of
their
monies.

Before we get into the details of McCarty's operations, please examine
the below post. Notice that it comes from a worldjazz address, and
that
McCarty denies any assocation. This error occurred when McCarty
accidentally
selected this address from one of his many usenet identities.

Actually, the only "farrago of lies" comes from Mr. Morein. As anyone
with any sense can plainly see from a cursory search, no one named
"Brian L. McCarty" has anything to do with this website, despite Mr.
Morein's protests to the contrary.

"Meanwhile, in July 2001, Thai police, Australian federal police and
an FBI
legal adviser raided the offices of Benson Dupont Capital Management
and the
Brinton Group in Silom Road in the business district of Bangkok. The
companies were accused of defrauding Australian citizens out of A$200
million under a range of different names and with different products."

"In their offices police found scripts that the salesmen followed.
These
showed that the callers were expected to call from Tokyo to give their
deals
more business credibility. Tokyo fact sheets were also found,
indicating
that callers would chat to clients about the city as if they really
lived
there."

The latest news is for the umteenth time, Brian L. McCarty has changed
the
details of his TOTALLY FALSE web registration. He has (temporarily)
put his
faithful sockpuppet "David Ellison" into storage, and replaced it with
"Huang, Ying Hong"

Registrant:
NetSol Private Registration (WORLDJAZZ-DOM)
35/F Lee Gardens
33 Hysan Avenue
Causeway Bay, HK 4103

Domain Name: WORLDJAZZ . com

+852 28886123


The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have informed me that no
documents have ever been filed for WorldJAZZ.

In recent days, McCarty has added two fictitious people to his
website:
1. " Ron Groove Davis", who McCarty originally created as "Wes Groove
Davis"
2. "Alexei Afonin" (notelephonin) ?
These are added to "Krishna Mahbren", who was created from a living
person,
Krishna Mahadoo.

The website is remarkable in that it does not contain a single
truthful
statement. It changes constantly. Always prominent are nonexistent
people
as frontmen, and affiliation with nonexistent events. Previous
versions have
also featured fictional alliances with large companies, and with
nonexistent
companies. From time to time, McCarty also steals the names of actual
people
to decorate his websites. For example, in the case of
* w w w .coralseastudios . com ,
my name, Robert Morein, was once featured as an "endorsement."

McCarty came to the attention of quite a number of us for unprovoked
attacks
of sellers in the usenet newsgroup rec.audio.marketplace. He is a
habitual
identity thief, frequently posting under my own name. The attention he
drew
from his attacks on small scale commerce in this usenet group is what
caused
a number of us to investigate and focus on his business activities. We
were
quite surprised to find that he is himelf a scammer. He relocated from
Los
Angeles in the late 1990's, where he was once a member of IATSE Local
700,
and worked with noted sound recordist Jeff Wexler. We have never found
any
evidence that Wexler is aware or approves of McCarty's activities.

McCarty lives at the Coral Sands Apartments, at 65 Vasey Esplanade,
Trinity
Beach, Cairns, Queensland, Australia. He uses the following email
addresses:
operations@worldjazz . com
news@worldjazz . com
operations@coralseastudios . com
webmaster@coralseastudios . com
coralseastudios@hotmail . com
youmustbekidding@yahoo . com


Once in Australia, McCarty founded Coral Seas Studios, which quickly
became
financially insolvent. Perhaps the major backer, ABN Amro, already
detected
anomalies in McCarty's personality. Following that business failure,
which
became a minor issue in the reelection of P.M. John Howard, McCarty
concentrated on funding a second initiative, "WorldJAZZ", a scheme for
Internet broadcasting. But with his reputation damaged and cut off
from
legitmate business activity, McCarty's predatory tendency came more to
the
fore. His website became ever more devious in an attempt to lure
investors.

In 2003, notices appeared in several online publications that McCarty
was
producing jazz broadcast material for Gene Parrish
( * w w w .worldwidejazz . com ) Notices appeared in a publication of
the
Embassy of France, and in one other publication. Mr. Parrish is a
noted NPR
jazz broadcast host. When contacted, it was apparent that Parrish had
never
heard of McCarty. While I cannot prove that McCarty posted these bogus
notices, he certainly had the motive to do so.

Following the exposure of the false producing notices, McCarty's name
completely vanished from the Internet. He resorted entirely to false
identities to create business partners who do not exist.

Notes:

1. "Dr. Krishna Mahbren" is derived from a real person, Krishna
Mahadoo,
V.P. of Beverly Hills Film Studios, a pink-sheet stock. McCarty
cruises the
Internet for companies that don't answer the phone. McCarty made
Mahadoo an
employee of that company's stock transfer agent, First American Stock
Transfer of Phoenix. When I pointed this out in a usenet post and
notified
Mr. Mahdoo by mail, McCarty changed the company to "First American
Stock of
Denver." Then he changed Mahadoo to Mahbren, and tacked on a "Dr." to
the
phony name.

2. The claim that Moscow Central TV is to use material supplied by
WorldJAZZ
is doubtful, as they were notified by mail. This claim has been made
for the
better part of a year. When the date expires, McCarty simply creates a
new
one.

3. "Event Sponsorship 2nd Year Running". This event does not exist.
There is
no "Jersey Jazz Bass Festival." Previously, the website has exhibited
a link
to the Island of Jersey in the English Channel. This locale has a surf
fishing festival, the Jersey Bass festival. There is no music
festival. In
the past, association was advertised with "jazz musician" Peter
Thliveros,
who is, in fact, a professional bass fisherman, not a musician.

4. The website is registered to "David Ellison", a fictitious person.
In
the past, many different fictitious persons have been used, in
conjunction
with yahoo mailboxes. Among McCarty's aliases, we have: Krishna
Mahadoo,
Anthony Ramallo, David Ellison, David C.L. Feng, Ying Hong Huang, Lee
Hodges, Lee Moretti, Melinda Hsu, Melinda Shu, Robert Morein, Robert X
Morein, Sylvan Morein, Sylvan X Morein, et al.

5. The website morphs constantly. McCarty combs the Internet for
identities
to steal. He chooses victims who do not represent themselves on the
Web, and
are not easily reached by phone.

6. McCarty's other website, * w w w .coralseastudios . com , has a
similar
history. Amazingly, between November of 2002 and June of 2003, McCarty
used
MY name
as an endorsement on the website * w w w .coralseastudios . com .
