X3 TGP Script

Thanks for all of your comments and suggestions. No response from Tony at comusthumbs but that’s not surprising. Most thieves don’t have consciences or they wouldn’t be the thieving lowlifes they are. Tony would probably steal walkers from little old ladies if there was money in it.

We did find a very good TGP script and will donate all proceeds from this affiliate to our friends’ rescue fund, so for those of you looking for TGP scripts, this is your chance to get what you need and do a good deed. X3 also has a number of free scripts, as well as traffic trackers — and an affiliate sign-up script for pay sites! We found loads of good webmaster reviews, too.

Friends don’t let friends support assholes! Purchase great products and scripts from X3 and help right Tony’s wrong while increasing your bottom line. Make money the old fashioned way — HONESTLY!

Unbelievable. Some friends of ours run an animal rescue shelter using only their paychecks as funding. They’re really in a bind and face having 50 of their permanent residents taken and killed.

More than a year ago when looking for a way to make money for the animals they contacted Tony at comusthumbs.com (through his email address: support@comusthumbs.com) asking if he might be willing to build a database through which they could use comusthumbs on any of their websites. He agreed to do this for $395 but said they would have to wait a couple of weeks as he was busy. They said “no problem” and sent him 395 bucks.

He kept putting them off, while stressing that he’s “a big animal lover” who has friends who also run a rescue shelter, so he wanted to help. Then he simply disappeared for several months, claiming afterwards he’d been extremely ill. After his recovery, he promised to begin working on the long-ago paid-for database…but disappeared, again.

Now, Tony from comusthumbs refuses to answer any of their emails and has neither given them a refund nor created the database. At this point, they just want their money back because they no longer trust him.

GIVE THEM THEIR MONEY BACK, YOU LOSER!!! Tony from comusthumbs is WAY high on our Official Shit List. What a sleazy rip-off artist.

Maybe decent people in his comusthumbs forum can talk some sense into Tony. http://www.comusthumbs.com/forum/index.php

Unfortunately, delRosario Family, the proof seems to be in Venus’ pudding rather than yours. As Nena del Rosario Villanueva sent her brother, Mariano del Rosario, into the home of a woman who trusted her, completely, and as that trust was repaid with “disinterest” when Mariano scammed Venus, the daughter of the woman who did Nena the favor of opening her home to Mariano, you doth protest too much.

Like many other people, Mariano hit a really bad streak of bad luck. He has always been a great father and decent man. He would do anything for his family, as would any good father.

I’m sure he would do anything for his family. Unfortunately, he will do pretty much anything to others, including steal their inheritances and then give them bad checks written on closed accounts. Were Mariano del Rosario an honorable man who’d simply hit a bad patch, he would have been sending (re)payments to Venus rather than focusing on his tennis game. And he would not have been lying to her about his health and ability to work.

His shenanigans at Concorde, referenced in another comment on this blog, also make your contentions seem ludicrous. Such behavior (always at others’ expense) seems his MO rather than an aberration.

Where do any of you get the balls to trash someone you don’t know?

Where do you get blinders big enough to accommodate an x-large, thick pair of rose-colored glasses? Should you truly care about Mariano del Rosario, it would behoove you to do an intervention — and pay off his debt to Venus rather than shrug your shoulders, believing she should accept her loss, quietly. That the family knows of this travesty and does nothing to right the grievous wrong speaks volumes (about the del Rosario family).

Do the right thing! Return to Venus the inheritance from her late mother which was, for all intents and purposes, stolen by Mariano del Rosario. This is a story you cannot spin to your advantage…

The Avenger

UPDATE:  We just received word that Venus sent an email to TennisSF a few days ago, asking for their assistance in tracking down other possible victims of Mariano del Rosario’s schemes. It will be interesting to see how they handle the situation. Will they ignore it? Will they do whatever it takes to protect their members?

I’m guessing that Mariano (or “Mario”) is always working some kind of angle with everyone he meets. I’d be pissed if I was a member of TennisSF, met del Rosario through the tennis club, loaned him money or invested in one of his “business ventures,” lost my money, and then found out that the club administrators knew he was a problem. Here’s hoping Mariano del Rosario is “inspired” to repay her and clean up his act, or that she is able to locate enough victims to make prosecution inevitable (in the US and in the Philippines)…

A very interesting comment was posted a few days ago re Mariano del Rosario, and I didn’t want it to get lost or go without notice:

(September 9, 2009 at 5:39 pm) how-wierd says:  I was looking up some of my past Colleagues and ran across this blog. I worked for Mario in 1988 – 91 when he was the I/T Director at Concorde Trading Co. in Hartford, IL. You think he’s shifty now…. I have one word. WOW!! you should have seen him at work back in the 80’s.

One year a co-worker and I were both skipped over getting a raise. Mario told me to submit an Invoice to our employer for Contractor Labor with 50 hours at $40/hr. When the CFO saw this bill he pulled me and my co-worker into a conference room and threatened us with legal action.

I informed the CFO that Mario told us this is the only way we were going to receive our bonus. The CFO was “pissed off”. The next day the CFO hand delivered us checks and informed us Mario was going to have to answer to the board for his actions.

So in my eyes Mario has also been very untrustworthy and it appears by this blog he has not stopped.

Classico di Roma: Shits Arrabiata

We’d like to have a bit of a holiday, too, so have decided to saunter slowly down Memory Lane.

Classico Shits!

This is the case which started it all, and it has never been resolved to our satisfaction.

Full disclosure this weekend.

The Avenger

It’s a damn shame, but. After all of the lies Mariano del Rosario told “Venus” (and after all of the bounced checks, etc.), she decided to play the game his way, yet again, and believe that this time he really will make good his many promises to repay the loan she made to him four years ago, which loan he was to repay with interest and within months.

Sad. Once he’d begun making (what seems to be more empty) promises, she couldn’t bring herself to get tough, preferring to wait and see what happens before “making him pay.”

Wait to see what will happen with the bank transfer which, according to Mariano del Rosario, requires a 10-business-day set-up. (Uh-huh. Of course, at the five-day mark, his bank was suddenly in need of further information and the clock was turned back to Day 1 [these are the "ten days" which can turn into months].)

Wait to see what will happen with the bank transfer which, if Mariano del Rosario sticks to the Con 101 script, will take at least a month to complete. (Mm-hmm [these are the "months" which can easily turn into years].) And then if she still hasn’t received payment, Venus insists there won’t be any more chances. (Ay ay ay [@@]!)

We wish her good luck and great fortune, but the Mariano del Rosario chapter, for us, is closed, and will not be revisited. However! As a public service, this seemingly never-ending saga will remain on the blog, in its entirety. We’ll never again allow a case to drag on, interminably (and still have every faith that, had she not been so “accommodating,” Venus could have had her money back within 4 to 6 weeks of her first post), but we do want her story to serve as a warning to those who might consider making similar mistakes.

In this day and age, loaning money to or investing in anyone without first consulting a search engine (and doing an extensive background check) is begging to be hornswaggled…most unfortunately, however, “there’s a sucker born every minute” seems a gross understatement.

We’re sorely tempted to put Venus on our Official Shit List, for a while, but the truth is that we allowed her to waste our time and resources. Her instinctive “subservience” (and apparent allegiance) to the man who had “victimized” her is not uncommon, and her reticence was clear from the beginning. The clues were all there, we chose to ignore them. Though kicking ourselves and wishing to hold her responsible, all we can do (with any integrity) is vow never to make that mistake, again.

The rest of this week is devoted to our real-world clients and cases, but we shall return shortly and begin anew. Stay tuned! There are other cases on the docket.

The Avenger

It seems Mariano del Rosario is trying to delay his fate. This [suddenly pretending to be willing to repay debts in order to have the victims call off their dogs] is classic con-man behavior. Victims who fall for this ruse never get their monies returned…

venusvictrix says: Mariano del Rosario is a very active member of his tennis club. Looks like he lied to me again and his heart can take strenuous exercise. He told me he heart is so bad he can hardly walk.

It’s also classic to have the con-man seek sympathy from his victims. Most unfortunately, women are all-too-often suckers for a sad story. No matter what has been done to them, they have great difficulty handling accusations of being “not very nice.”

He did contact me again on Saturday August 15th and told me he deposited some money in my bank account but he did not say how much money. I will check today to see if money arrived from him and how much he sent. I will post the details as soon as I know. He didnt specify the amount he sent and he has told me he will give me my money many times and then he didnt or he gave me a bad check.

Did any money arrive from Mariano del Rosario? If so, how much?

I am so tired of his lies. I loaned him my inheritance five years ago and he promised to pay me back with interest in only a few months. He said it would be better than a savings account or a CD or money market so I would be helping him and he would be helping me. Now I have spent more than four years trying to get my money back.

Well, as was discussed when his first “offer” appeared, more than a week ago, should he have sent some money, but not the entire amount owed, we would either have to drop the case if you wished to keep giving him chances, or bring him to his knees until you are in receipt of all monies due and owing from Mariano del Rosario.

We sincerely hope you will choose the latter, as experience has shown it’s the only way to get your money back from the Mariano del Rosarios of this world. We do understand the emotional tug-of-war between your desire to have your monies returned and memories of the friendship between your mother and del Rosario’s sister [Nena del Rosario-Villanueva], but cannot ride that particular roller-coaster with you. It could tie up our blog for years, and keep us from helping others who are in dire need of our assistance.

Please let us know, asap, whether or not Mariano or “Mario” sent you some money, how much he sent [if anything], and how you wish to proceed. We are ready to either proceed with this case or move on to the next. No matter your choice, we wish you nothing but success!

MA'AT: Justice

Please excuse our brief sabbatical, but several cases we’ve been working, offline, suddenly headed for a close, simultaneously. We’re back, and ready to make short work [and/or minced meat] of Mariano del Rosario — or is it just “Mario,” now? Like “Cher,” or “Madonna,” or “Beelzebub?”

We would have preferred to have no “behind the scenes” discussions with VenusVictrix, allowing this saga to play itself out in public. Not only is it good to have trails and timelines, but the “material” often proves instructional for those who must help themselves when victimized by the Mariano del Rosarios of this world.

That said, we were notified by VenusVictrix that she had received a text message from Mariano del Rosario. The details are a bit fuzzy, as our minds were elsewhere…something about Mariano’s “heart problems” and his being unable to work, needing an operation, forced to live on welfare and food stamps. But suddenly willing to wire her “some money.”

Though we immediately recognized his [extraordinarily unimaginative] scenario as S.O.P for con artists, out of respect for her mother’s years-long friendship with Mariano’s sister [Nena del Rosario-Villanueva], VenusVictrix wanted to give him a chance. We were momentarily unable to proceed further, so suggested she give him a week to get the money to her — knowing full well that he would not. And he did not!

There will be no further interruptions as regards Mariano del Rosario [brother of piano prodigy Nena del Rosario-Villanueva]. But there has been a slight change in plans. We will be acting as guides and mentors, and VenusVictrix will be contacting Mariano’s tennis club, business and personal associates, etc. She obviously has greater legal standing than we, and this process should also prove informative for the layman.

When last we had contact with VenusVictrix [approximately one week ago], she knew that she would be “taking her power back” should Mariano fail to make the transfer as promised. She was to immediately contact us were she to receive any money from del Rosario, and we have not heard from her. Had we not heard from her, it was agreed this sordid charade would head back to the blog, and that we would be posting again, this weekend.

First things being first — as VenusVictrix and Mariano del Rosario entered into a “contract,” last week, even though Mariano del Rosario broke the terms of the contract and VenusVictrix is the aggrieved party, before going any further, it would be wise for VenusVictrix to notify “Mario” that the contract is now broken, and that she intends to move swiftly.

Within 24 hours of notifying del Rosario of her intentions [to locate as many other victims as possible in order to make legal action a higher priority for law enforcement, the American and Philippine governments, etc.], VenusVictrix will make her approach to TennisSF.

Take a deep breath, VenusVictrix, then lower the boom! And just so you don’t start feeling any pangs of guilt — I went to TennisSF, just for the hell of it, and scrolling across the top of the page was this little goody. “08/13/09: M. Del Rosario over I. Johnson: 6-4; 6-2.” And Mariano del Rosario is in 8th position for Player of the Year [Rewarding the most active players in the TennisSF.com community]!

He’s doing pretty well for a guy who’s got such a bad heart he can’t work. I wonder if welfare knows the taxpayers are underwriting his tennis tournament entry fees. Maybe TennisSF lets him pay with food stamps? Or maybe he’s already conned a bunch of his new tennis buddies out of money, and he’s living high on their “investments.”

** UPDATE! Mariano del Rosario [and his rapidly failing ticker] won another tennis match at TennisSF! “08/15/09:  M. Del Rosario over I. Johnson: 6-4; 7-5″  I’m guessing the second set would not have been quite so difficult were his heart not on its last legs. What a trooper!

Please post your Final Notice to Mariano del Rosario here, VenusVictrix. You gave him more chances than he deserved, and evidence of that fact will be quite public.

The Avenger

I must say, it’s wonderful to have so many comments. Thanks to all who’ve stepped forward to speak out! I wish I had time to write personal notes. JParker, if you can find your friend and she was indeed ripped off by Mariano del Rosario — PLEASE do let us know!

AmyTut, I’m very sorry about your Dad, and about the thieving attorney. We definitely would have gone to bat for you over that one, but the Universe had other plans.

A special thank you to everyone who lives in the Bay Area and plans to help spread the word about Mariano del Rosario!

venusvictrix says: I remembered another story about Mariano del Rosario that shows he is a big time loser.

Do tell!

When I was asking people about him and he was giving me bad checks, I was told that he tells people before he relocated to the Philippines he was living in Burlingame and had a big house, a very good job, several expensive cars, etc. He said he sold everything to move to the Philippines and put up an IT business.

When he didn’t start his business he told everyone he couldn’t because he lost a lot of his money after he gave it to one of his sons to invest in the US stock market. Can anyone enlighten me as to why he would entrust hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars to a 20-something-year-old son to play the stock market? Unless that son was a financial genius, no one in his right mind would do that.

Either Mariano del Rosario is a fool or this is another one of his lies to get people to sympathize with him when he was trying to get people to invest in his “business.”

What I find especially fascinating [and equally outrageous] is that he has no problem ruining his son‘s reputation in order to “enhance” his own! I don’t believe for a moment that he went to the Philippines with hundreds of thousands of dollars, let alone that he allowed his son full access to such funds to play the stock market. That’s disgusting. He really is among the lowest of the low! His poor kids…

Anyway, I hope this blog will warn people about Mariano del Rosario. If ever anyone meets him, dont even talk to him! Avoid him like the H1N1 virus. He is a shame to his family, a loser and a con man.

I really appreciate all of the support you are all giving me. It means a lot to me because this has been very depressing and I was feeling alone. I’m so glad this blog started again!

And I’m glad you came to us when you did. It was synchronicity! Now, it’s time for some action. Here is the email I sent, a week ago, giving Mariano del Rosario a chance to redeem himself. I even got a special email address, in his [dis]honor! He chose not to respond. Tomorrow, I contact TennisSF in search of other victims. And so it begins…

To:    Mariano “Juni” del Rosario
Nee:  10th January 1947  New York, NY

More than five years ago, you, Mariano del Rosario, borrowed a sum of money from Ms. X (Manilla, Philippines). The loan remains unpaid, and, with penalties and interest, the amount now due and owing to Ms. X is US$55,000.00.

Ms. X contacted us after being informed of the difficulties inherent in having you extradited to the Philippines to face numerous charges for fraud, including but not limited to checks written on a closed account.

Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company ( Metrobank)
Tordecillas St – Gil Puyat Ave. Branch, Makati City

1. Check number 6411452964 dated: June 5, 2007
2. Check number 6411452953 dated: July 15, 2007
3. Check number 6411452962 dated: Aug 17, 2007
4. Check number 6411452945 dated: July 9, 2007

We accepted Ms. X’s case, and the details have been discussed on one of our blogs for several weeks (which discussions are now indexed and archived by yahoo, google, altavista, dogpile, infospace, and other major search engines).

Unless Ms. X receives full repayment — of the loan, plus penalties and interest (in the amount of US$55,000), and our collection fee of 15% (in the amount of US$8250.00), for a total of US$63,250.00 — this week, on Monday (27th July 2009) we will begin contacting your acquaintances (personal and professional), associates and employers (past and present, national and international) in search of other victims.

Our efforts will not cease until Ms. X has been repaid. We suggest you consider the ramifications of said efforts and have the monies wired to Ms. X, immediately, if not sooner.

In the meantime, you might wish to see that which will be discovered by those who do their homework before loaning money to, employing, and associating or otherwise becoming involved with one Mr. Mariano “Juni” del Rosario.

Sincere Regards,
Your Worst Nightmare

Aw, shucks. T’waren’t nuthin’, ma’am. Seriously. Just wait’ll you see what we find when we start doing some real digging. Past experience suggests there are multiple closets filled with Mariano del Rosario’s skeletons. His clock is ticking! I sent him an email, Monday. He’ll either pay you in cash, or in ways he never dreamed…

He had his alleged heart by-pass operation in the Spring of 2008 in the US. He told me his doctor told him not to work until the doctor gives him a clean bill of health. Fall of 2008 he told me that he was still under doctors orders not to work and that his heart problem was very serious. Spring of 2009, he told me he still wasnt working because of his bad heart.

There’s definitely something wrong with Mariano del Rosario’s heart, but it’s nothing a doctor can fix. He’s also got a few screws loose, and — unless you soon have your money — I look forward to tightening those, myself!

I was very surprised when you found out he has been playing tennis again! I also heard that he is trying to get a job at the VA. I dont know if he wants to manage their computers or if he is pretending to be a doctor now but either way I feel sorry for American veterans if Mariano del Rosario is working there!

The VA and TennisSF will most definitely be contacted, next week [unless you've received full payment from Mariano del Rosario]. We’ve also decided to offer a reward in the amount of $10,000 to whomever is able to provide information resulting in an arrest, prosecution, and felony conviction of Mariano del Rosario. Punks like him tend to have lots of victims, unfortunately.

If he decides he’s not going to pay you, having a criminal record in the US [for other offenses] should make it harder for him to continue victimizing others, here. And if we can find an “important victim” in the Philippines, we might actually be able to have him extradited — especially if he’s become a known felon in the US.

The last telephone number I have for him is 650-515-2592. I was told its a telephone number in CA. When I try to call the number all I get is a voice mail recording telling me to leave a message. Its obvious that he is hiding. He screens the messages then replies to those he wants to.

The area code is for San Mateo and San Bruno; the number is for a landline technically in San Bruno — which is definitely no Burlingame! But there are lots of cheap apartments. It’s also an unpublished number. I wonder how often Mariano del Rosario has felt it necessary to change his phone number [and address].

I am praying very hard that you are able to get him to repay me. I have health problems and there is no one else I can run to for help.

Unlike Mariano del Rosario who has siblings who can help him in many ways, I dont have anyone since my mother died. I dont have brothers or sisters or other relatives who will look out for me. If ever Mariano del Rosario cant afford to pay for a place to stay I am sure his family will let him live with them, and they will feed him and support him. If I lose the roof over my head I dont have anywhere to go and no one to turn to. I will literally be out in the streets. I dont have anyone who will take me in, feed me or support me.

I get depressed thinking about the injustice he has done to me. He is playing tennis in San Francisco while I am worrying because I cant afford my medication so I cant go back to work and take care of myself. Soon I might lose my apartment. I am having these problems because Mariano del Rosario stole the inheritance left to me by my mother and he knew I was not a rich woman. There is something terribly unjust about that.

You’re absolutely right. Unfortunately, life isn’t fair. As so beautifully said by Bertrand Russell, “in the part of this universe that we know, there is great injustice. Often the good suffer, often the wicked prosper, and one hardly knows which of those is the more annoying.”

Stories like yours are all too common, I fear, but we’ve devoted much of our lives to helping right such wrongs, whenever possible. We seem to have a flair for the work. We definitely have a passion for it. And you have my word. We will do everything within our power to see that your kindness and generosity toward Mariano del Rosario will not, in the end, be punished.

Tomorrow, I will post the email he recieved, Monday night or Tuesday morning. He has been warned. But he may not fully understand the gravity of his situation. Improving his comprehension will be my pleasure…
