Apparently Michael Purse has been scamming people for a long long time. It’s really troubling, because right now he is only 21/22? That means he got started when he was just a teenager. This guy is totally fucked in the head. Just read some of the comments back from 2003  from innocent people whom Michael Purse scammed thousands of dollars and repeatedly lied to.

Acerimmer writes “A little while back Michael Purse was selling cisco routers here for $275. Can anybody find the reference to that thread? It seems I might have been ripped off, and I need the forum thread to prove that i was one of the buyers.. Please don’t ask it is a long story ”

Dan writes “I wouldnt buy anything Michael Purse is associated with if I were you.”

Woftam writes “I also am in the same boat. TSN has the router ,  but Purse has not paid them with the money I deposited into his account. I will be taking leagal action , and would like to here from others in the same situation.”

Crash Override writes “If you guys catch up with him, you can add me to the list of creditors. What he owes me is a very small sum of money in comparison, but the little shit has made that many promises of repayment, and subequently broken every single one, that I’m just a little peeved with him. He needs to wise up. Say hello to him for me!”

The Hunter writes “My name is Alan McFarlane and I too have been ripped off by Michael Purse for $2200 dollars. I would be very interested in gathering you people together or at least having everyone document how Michael has affected them and which business he was working under at the time.  Feel free to email me if you have any information on him. I have been following his movements and spoke to his most recent mark, a new “friend” from whom he stole $400. I must say I am not surpised at the number of people he has touched. The problem is he thinks he is going to get away with it.”

Woftam writes “O and btw , for the TSN thread purse started , he was using up to 4 accounts , and posting in that thread. I would like to get all who come here to organise some “group ” legal action , as I will be sending the debt collecter round to his house very soon.”

Easily amused writes “I remember I was flamed a while ago for suggesting that Michael Purse was nothing but a little conman and was told to “give the kid a break”. (no this is not an “i told you so” post) I hope that we can all agree wholeheartedly now that the amount of chances this child has had is more than enough and should he ever show his face around here anymore he should be banned as it was through Whirlpool I believe that he made a lot of his “business contacts”. I urge ALL of you who has been screwed over by Michael to go to any lengths at all to recover your money and teach this boy that it is 1) NOT Okay to steal and 2) He CANNOT get away with stealing.”

Heisr writes “From what i understand, Michael Purse is no longer a representative for TSN, so if anybody has any dealings with him, beware. He has ripped a fair amount of people off, and is continuing to do so. I have heard somewhere in the vicinity of $10g (don’t quote me on that, but it’s a good estimation).”

Roscoe writes “Out of all this, the thing that worries me is his access to credit card numbers. When I signed with TSN I gave him my CC number to bill my account. Nothing has been taken from my account (I manage my funds daily) which shouldn’t have been, but never the less it’s a worrying thought.  Something to be mindful should others be in the same position.”

Sydneysider writes “Yes, I too game him my details. But It’s ok, you can lodge Fraud complaints against charges on your credit card so they’ll credit back you account and chase the fraudulent person real quick.”

There is a lot more too… AVOID ALL DEALINGS WITH “MICHAEL PURSE / F5 DOMAINS” AND BEWARE IS ALL I GOTTA SAY. This clown has a gift for twisting words, and bullshiting his way out of situations, but this time around it’s not going to be so simple. Mark my words!
