Oh, there’s nothing new about scammers on CL, but what is the point of having a blog if I cannot post about them. I am trying to sell a basically new MacBook Pro because my stolen computer got returned to me several weeks after I got a replacement. I got an e-mail from someone asking …

Alright, admittedly “bad psychic” is redundant, but this morning I got a comment on my old blog from a post I did about seeing a psychic where I used to work: Ashley, people do not pretend its a gift. It is a gift. Because you do not have the gift is why you respond in …

I got the following comment today, and I’m sharing it as a blog post for everyone. If you haven’t read the Eddie Kritzer saga, I will include a bundle of links at the end. Just a PSA to keep Eddie Kritzer (a.k.a. Andy King) on the radar. I’m almost certain a weekly post on Craigslist …

There are few things more difficult for the skeptic to let go of than their faith in their own intelligence. After all, recognizing the untruth of something lots of people believe in (gods, psychics, bigfoots) does give one a sense of intellectual superiority. I've certainly been guilty of a sort of mental vanity that is …

Man, it’s gotten to the point where I don’t even understand what he’s trying to say anymore. http://articles.latimes.com/2010/aug/23/nation/la-na-blogger-suits-20100823 Dearest Ashley, Action’s bring consequences, you dont live in a vacum, and I gave you some good advise. You put yourself in this position, and I looked at imdBPro.com and saw no (added) credits for you You’re …

I should note that the reason I post all of this is to A) keep a record and B) warn others off ever getting in touch with this guy. I have noticed that the majority of his written abuse has been directed at women, and it’s almost always sexual in nature. I’m not sure why …

I’ve gotten two new emails from Mr. Kritzer. Can I just say “ew”? Because ew. Can I sue him for sexual harassment? Dearest Ashley, Since we made love last, I cant stop thinking of you; I hope you told me the truth, and you’re on the pill. I love children, and hope they grow up …

No update on the Kritz would be complete without a creepy email littered with bad grammar from the jerk himself. Dearest Ashley, I haven’t heard from you in so long I was concerned that you lost your job editing, but then i checked IMDbPro.com http://imdb.com/name/nm1736719/ and saw you had no credits at all. Not surprising; …

This Christmas I got the gift of knowing I helped someone not get scammed! Thanks emailer! I have been approached by Eddie Kritzer to sell my scripts. Of course, red flags popped up in the back of my mind due to the fact that he was calling my on Christmas Eve and wanted 1000.00 to …

I’m a writer, which means that I have to spend a lot of time looking out for scams trying to take advantage of me. There are fake agents, fake contests, and fake publishers who are all trying to get my money by promising me riches and fortune and, most importantly, an audience. If anything can teach you skepticism, …
Ashley's co-blogger is a third year student at Northwestern University who runs on coffee and snark. .
