		<description>I agree with Stan because at the end of the day you don&#039;t really have a clue who these people really are and you cant trust people you dont know.Unless your actually going to do something about it stop wasting so much time and find something productive to talk about.</description>

		<description>For the life of me, I have no idea why anyone would &quot;trust&quot; someone with whom they met over a social network.  So, for those of you who recently got scammed....good for you.  Learn your lesson and either take it offline legally or move on.  All the other petty stuff is ridiculous especially by the guy who posted the initial blog post.  It&#039;s not even your battle.

Yes, I do feel sorry for all of the victims, especially her ex-boyfriend, who is the only one with a real legitimate case here because it looks as though he actually went through the whole legal process and was awarded an ACTUAL judgment.

Regarding the &quot;social media playbook&quot; indicated in this article, who wrote that book and where can I find it?  I didn&#039;t know one such existed.  If I have a legal problem with someone else, I take the appropriate steps which involve lawyers and stuff and not petty complaining.  

The &quot;coincidences&quot; clearly suggests that someone is at fault here, but unless you have gone through the legal process and can produce legal docs (like her ex), what&#039;s the point of blasting someone?  You&#039;re trying to &quot;warn&quot; others about not being scammed?  I like to think that people are intelligent enough to do their due diligence before trusting anyone especially when it comes to money.

Move on people and use the social media tools to your benefit not your detriment.  As we can see already, there&#039;s already at least one person abusing that privilege, but then again, I didn&#039;t write the &quot;social media playbook.&quot;</description>

		<description>Great article. By far the most informative (including the comment by Andy). I still think people got a little carried away and personal with the twitter attacks against Arleen, but you provide a lot of the information that was lacking in 140 char. form.
Thanks</description>

		<description>Well I found out today she wrote a couple checks to a fellow on the Big Island.

He&#039;s been trying to cash them for 5 months now.  

He doesn&#039;t want to just deposit them because he doesn&#039;t want the bounced checks on his record.

He keeps going to the bank and asking if the money is available yet.

I think he has given up at this point:

		<description>I swear with God as my witness that the information I have given to post was obtained legally and that the information is correct. I gave her a loan to start a fund raising business on the internet. She gave me all the documentaion about her house in Aptos and the #&#039;s were good enough so I loaned her $19500. She wanted more but I gave her all I could get.  She started off making payments but before the first year was up she only made 1/2 the payments.  Anytime I asked for a payment she would stall 4 more time giving me hope of a payment only to be crushed over and over as many of U have been 2. She knows you may bring her 2 court and get a Judgment as I have but after that unless U spend more $ to track her down &amp; bring her to court she has a Good chance of U just giving up.  I have tracked her from SD to CA and now to HI getting a sister state Judgment in CA only to have her move to HI so I have to get another lawyer and spend more $ to have no guarantee she&#039;ll ever pay. She knows the game and how to play.  Now she is a Bigtime Twit (Pun intended) and has fooled so many into thinking she is someone important. Many won&#039;t believe she did all the things we have proof on but then many used to believe that the world was flat. She has a hold over a lot of people (I used 2 B 1) just as all the cult leaders have had on their followers. Wake up people.  I have kept to the facts and that is why many people seem to be siding with me and I THANK ALL OF YOU!</description>

		<description>In situations like these, I&#039;ll continue to follow someone to see if they present their side of the story.  But sure, eventually they will get an unfollow from me.  I&#039;ll block them from being able to follow me as well - to protect myself.</description>

		<description>Todd,

Before the Fit hit the Sham I was after her of monies I feel she owes me. Small amount $900. I have emails to support my claim she agreed to pay. When she &quot;went silent&quot; and refused to communicate in any way I went to the &quot;open stream&quot; on Twitter in my effort to collect. 

My tweets on the open stream caught the eye of her ex boyfriend Roger Knowlton (@R_A_K_ on Twitter) who has been chasing her since 03 in an effort to get her to re-pay a 20k debt that is now 33k with interest. He was not on Twitter but saw my tweet in a google search and felt he had to speak up. He joined Twitter and posted the court order saying she owes the him money on TwitPics. He also posted official court transcripts he purchased of her sentencing hearing when she was convicted of grand theft for stealing from the Special Olympic. He was sitting in the courtroom when she was sentenced.

Based on this new evidence I feel she misrepresented herself to me in our business dealings. I&#039;m am involved with many non-profit organizations similar to Special Olympics and I feel not informing me of her conviction was purposeful.

I have made many offers, both public and private, to meet with her for arbitration before and after the news of her past surfaced. She refuses to respond.

Thank you for bringing attention to this matter because Arleen Anderson&#039;s tactic seems to be &quot;ignore it and it will will fade away&quot; and I believe she has used this on many she has &quot;hired&quot; here in Hawai`i.
