You’ve warmed the cockels of my cold, black heart. Thank you for letting us know we just might be making a difference. Sometimes it seems there are so many con artists, ne’er-do-wells and reprobates we’ll never make a dent — but we keep on keepin’ on, just in case.
Maybe our motto should be “One Asshole at a Time.” Please feel free to tell us more about your asshole…
Oh, I did get ripped-off by someone who presents himself as an upright, law abiding legitimate businessman and God fearing citizen of this world. He comes from a rather prominent family. Matter of fact I believe his brother is connected with the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
Few things piss me off more than those who drag God into their ungodly schemes and scams [and wars (and invasions and occupations)]. Why are people still falling for this crap?! The minute I see Jesus on an estimate or invoice [or Bible verses on a presidential briefing (advocating invasions and occupations)], I know there’s going to be Trouble. Why doesn’t everybody else?!
Prominent family? A connection to the Asian Development Bank? Have you spoken to his parents and/or siblings and asked them to loan him the money to pay you back [giving the repayment directly to you]?
Embarrassing him in front of his family might go a long way toward getting your money back. Is it that he doesn’t have the money to repay you at this time, or that he has the money but simply refuses to repay you at this time?
He was born in NY, is currently in CA. His claim to fame is that he was a highly paid employee of Lucent some years ago. Went into IT claiming that he had the expertise to operate a call center from his experience with Lucent. Ha! big joke! All he knew was how to talk big and rip people off.
How much money are we talking about? Hundreds of dollars? Thousands of dollars? Hundreds of thousands of dollars? And what is this man’s name? How did he manage to get his mitts on your money? Did you loan it to him or invest it with him? I’m hoping it was a loan rather than an investment, as we are rarely able to recoup monies lost to bad investments. People have to learn to do more research before investing. But loans made in good faith and never repaid are our specialty!
Please be more specific re the man on your Official Shit List, and we shall do what we can to help you.
Greatings Thank you for do this! I would now go on this blog every day to see what happen to Mariano del Rosario!

Every body else is saying the same thing I am thinking about Mariano del Rosario but I want to wish you best luck getting your money from this terrible man! After you get your money I hope someone steals all of his money and he will know how it feels!
In reply to your questions, this man owes me 55,000 American dollars. It was a personal loan I made to him in 2004. He was starting an IT business, a call center. He said he had invested all of his own money but needed additional money as a bridge to keep the business running until his other funds became available or the business received payment of very large invoices. It was only supposed to be temporary. He got personal loans from me and several other people.
His sister was a close friend of my Mother. They were friends for a very long time before Mom died. Because of the friendship between my Mom and this man’s sister I loaned him the money. I thought that he was as nice and decent as his sister and the rest of his siblings. Only later did I realize that he might be the black sheep of his family.
He would tell me stories about all of the work he was doing for his business, but I later found out that he was constantly at a country club playing golf and tennis, and socializing. He was just starting a business and acting like a retired millionaire!
He must have expected his business to flourish fueled by his ‘charisma’ and name dropping. Ha!
He claims to be a devout Catholic and displays his piousness by going to daily Mass. What a hypocrite! One minute saying prayers, a few hours later lying to me as he tells me how great his business is doing and I will soon have my money back.
As a matter of fact, he tells everyone he knows how great his business was doing. He always talked of his big plans to become someone to reckon with in the call center/BPO industry. It was all hot air and self delusions.
I have been trying to get my money back since 2006 and now things are bad for me financially all because he did not pay me back as he promised. The money I loaned him was the money I inherited from my Mom when she died and he knows I have lost both my parents. I could have invested that money or just kept it in the bank as my nest egg.
Every time I ask him for my money he tells me he will pay me in a month or so. He never does. He gave me post dated checks. All which bounced, of course. I would be so grateful if you could get him to repay this loan. I really need my money back fast. Thank you.
I hope you will make life hell for Mariano del Rosario but I am also sad because there are so many assholes like him in this world. The worst people always go to church every day! Do they think they can fool God?
I read all of your blog and I feel like I will be sick now. Mariano del Rosario is an evil evil man.
