Telling Lies: Did Fraud Kill Megan Meier? November 20, 2007

Pretending your someone your not has an effect!
Megans story is not the type of thing you would normally expect to find on this site. If you don’t like it…to bad. This just is to sad, terrible, and about 10 other adjectives to not mention.
Megan Meier Was a 13 year old girl who lived in Missouri. Many people already know this story so i will just go through the details quickly to catch up the people who don’t know. Megan had battled depression for a long time due to a weight problem as reports say. That all seemed to change when she started receiving emails from “someone special”
The problem was that her someone special was a complete fraud. Josh Evans was the fake name of the person. He was created by an adult that lived near by. Over the course of a couple of months this woman built up the hopes of Megan and made her believe all of her stories.
The story goes on to say that Josh was a 16 year old boy that had just moved recently to his dream house. He was home schooled and didn’t yet have a phone number to give to Megan. This was obviously just part of the lie to keep her at a safe distance from finding out the truth as would later come out.
According to Megans mother, her mood improved and she became hopeful for the first time in a long time. In mid October everything fell apart. Suddenly Josh didn’t want to be involved with her anymore.
Heres where things get nasty. Bulletins started popping up on Myspace that Megan was fat, a slut, and who knows what else. Megan became very depressed say the people close to her. On October 16, 2006 Megan hung herself in her parents home.
The FBI and local officials investigated the story and found that “Josh” was actually a woman who lived near by. His profile on Myspace was maintained by her, and 18 year old girl and the womans daughter who is said to have been a former friend of Megans. Choose your friends wisely i guess…
Megans parents have been interviewed by such people as Matt Lauer on the today show. Reports say that the woman responsible for this fraud has sent a letter to the parents of the deceased say that it wasn’t her fault and that she basically excepts no responsibility for her actions and feels that they should just drop it and more or less get over it.
So, heres my question to all of this. Is this fraud? If we look at the definition of fraud i think it is pretty close.
1. A deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain.
2. A piece of trickery; a trick.
3. 1. One that defrauds.
2. One who assumes a false pose; an impostor.
MY Take on This story!
Not that my opinion matters but I’m going to give it because, well, this is my site and I can. This is the worst kind of fraud and or crime a person can portray on another person.
If you know someone intimately enough to know exactly what their biggest wants, desires, and on the flip side, there biggest fears and insecurities are then you choose to use those against someone or for your own personal enjoyment or gain there is something very wrong with you.
Everyone has their own issues that life has handed them. Sometimes those things effect us for the rest of our lives and essentially form who we are and what bothers us. Think about it for a minute to yourself. Maybe its the loss of a loved one, something traumatic you have experienced, or a major insecurity due to a short coming of your own.
This woman and her entourage sent emails to Megan that exploited her exact weakness. They built her up over a couple of months and made her feel like everything was ok and life was good for the first time in a long time. That she was special.
Then when the time was right…BAM! They dropped the bomb. This woman used Megans own mind against her to get close and made her feel wanted. As i said above, Megans “issue” was her weight and all the things that came with it. Feeling like an older, good looking, boy was into her built her up.
After building her up according to plan, Megan had the ground taken out from under her. Then to take it a step further messages started to appear saying she was a fat slut and treated people terrible.
As of now, this type of fraud and deplorable behavior from a grown woman is not a crime according to the current laws.
I have seen an un-varnished opinion before that says that Megan over reacted. To that i will say…maybe. All things being equal I would say that killing yourself over a boy not wanting to talk to you anymore is a bit drastic, yes.
I have another take on that opinion, personally. Why don’t we look at what this grown woman did. What could anyone ever do to deserve having there single biggest fear used and exploited in such a devious manner? NOTHING!
This is cold, calculating, and simply disgusting behavior from anyone. let alone a mother. Thats my opinion and i think more people would agree with me than not.
This woman and her helpers have done so much to destroy and yet they still feel that it was no big deal and everyone should just what? laugh it off and go watch some television?
Its this kind of remorse, or lack there of, that proves this woman is one of the lowest forms of life imaginable. The people affected by this fraud have to live with what she has done for ever. She chooses to just wash her hands of it.
I don’t advocate any form of vigilantism as some people online have recommended. I think doing so would make someone almost as bad as the woman who enacted all of these lies and deceit.
Sure, there is a case to be made that she did this for no reason other than her own personal sick pleasure. That is why this post is labeled with the word fraud after all. Yes, there is also a case to be made that Megan did nothing to deserve this type of treatment and by comparison this woman deserves all that comes her way for her actions.
That i will agree with. I think those close to the event should realize that sooner or later these types of people will get what they have given but lowering ones self to this level to help nature along is just wrong. no matter how much she has earned it.
In closing.
I realize that for my subscribers this post is very much so out of the ordinary from all my others. I’m ok with that. This is just something that i did some reading on and frankly, I became more upset by it as I researched it further.
I just had to blog it. Somehow this story seemed like the kind of thing i would rather have you sharing with your friends than the usual purpose of the site.
Share this story with your friends or leave a comment if you like. Any comments that are less than sensitive will be deleted quickly! There is nothing funny about this stuff!

$7 credit repair: review of 7 dollar credit repair May 18, 2007
Posted by joel in : Uncategorized , add a commentJust released today for everyone to check out. The 7dollar credit repair report that is. In case you are curious of how that name was dreamed up let me tell you. Its a report about how to repair your own credit and you guessed it…it costs just $7.
This report is unbelievably thorough in its depth of knowledge. The amount of information covered in its pages is nothing short of surprising, especially when you consider the fact that it is only going to cost you 7 dollars. The topics covered inside are very extensive and there are no “filler pages” to be found.
Most e-books and e-reports are about the equivalent of 2 or 3 pages of information and the rest of the text is not even text. I’m joking of course. I love ebooks and reports and that’s why I write about them on these very pages. That being said, anyone who is as big of a fan of e books as I am will tell you that after all of the screen shots and bulleted lists inside you really only have about half of the books pages actually containing the information you were originally looking for.
7 dollar credit repair is something of an exception to this rule. There is not a single image or any of that double spacing stuff to be found inside this credit repair report. You just get your moneys worth and then some. At only 7 bucks you wouldn’t think so but you really do.
Some of the topics covered inside are rather hard to believe. The section devoted to understanding the real cost of your credit is literally eye opening. We all know that credit, or more to the point, bad credit is costly but most people never take the time to sit you down and show you how expensive your credit problems can really be.
There is even a companion package to this 7 dollar credit repair report that you will no doubt want to pick up a copy of in addition to the report. The amount of information contained in this offer should go a very long way in anyone’s efforts to improve their credit rating.
If you are something of a credit know it all you will still find some rather useful information in the credit repair report. For those of you who are worried about your financial standing and want to make a difference in a major way you really can not go wrong with the 7dollar credit report.
If you want to take a look for your self and maybe even spend the huge amount of money…$7…you can check it out right now at www.7dollarcreditrepair.com
Until next time….
Stress reduction: Free ebook May 1, 2007
Posted by joel in : Uncategorized , add a commentToday I have another free ebook for you. This one is something that everyone should be interested in. The topic for today is stress. If you not someone who has to worry about feelings of stress…congratulations, your the only one.
Dealing with stress in modern society is becoming a bigger issue for people. It stands to reason that its one of the most common ailments that people complain of. Life has become very fast paced and its understandable that sometimes it feels like you just cant keep up. I get this way at times and I am sure if your reading this you will agree, life is just harder now than it was generations ago.
Reducing stress can have such an amazing impact on ones life. I know that when I’m feeling it coming on my productivity and general mood suffer greatly. Fifty years ago people still had to worry about feeding their families but not to the extent we do today. People are always on the go and in my opinion technology hasn’t helped matters.
People used to live the way we see on classic T.V. shows on Nick at Night. You went to work at the same place for decades and when you got home the family sat down for some dinner. With all the changes in the corporate world this is a thing of the past. Cell phones, the internet, productivity reports, you name it. Life is simply harder today than it was for our grandparents.
Naturally, stress is going to come with all these new responsibilities and sometimes it just gets to be more than you know how or want to deal with. We have all been there.
Stress reduction is a very real topic of interest to most people. However, when most do talk about it the answer seems to be pharmaceuticals. I know that medical science has made advancements that would never seem imaginable in the past. I just don’t think that trying to reduce stress naturally should be forgotten.
As I mentioned i do have another free ebook for you today. You guessed it, this ones all about reducing stress levels in a natural way. If you want the free stress reduction ebook just grab it right here. As always, you don’t need to sign up for anything.
virology review: review of virology April 17, 2007
Posted by joel in : Uncategorized , add a commentI have a Free copy of the virology ebook for you at the end of this post so be sure to check that out. Its just a gift to you for reading. No need to thank me just enjoy it.
For the one or two people out there who may not know who Mike Filsaime is this will be a perfect way to get to know him. Mike has created one of the largest online empires known to man outside of large public corporations.He has admittedly done most of this by viral marketing methods alone. Thats no easy task. To create hundreds of thousands of opt-in email subscribers without spending a fortune for online marketing is almost unbelievable to anyone who has tried.
Mike has also successfully launched some of the highest selling products the web has ever seen. I’m sure you have heard of the butterfly marketing manuscript and the software that powers some incredibly successful sites out there today. Viral marketing is what Filsaime is all about and no one does it better. If you get a chance to read this new book make sure to keep in mind that he has done everything in it. It is possible if you are as dedicated to your online business as he is.
Viral marketing is, for those who dont know, kind of a play on the concept of how viruses spread. One person gets it and then passes it along to another person or two who turn around and pass the idea to several more people. Viral marketing is perhaps the only free lunch in online marketing.
The problem for most is this. Once you have a fantastic idea, how do you get that out to people and in large quantities. virology explains exactly how Mike takes and idea or a product or some sort of message and starts it rolling to the point where everyone is aware of it. How many people do you know that have thousands of search results for their name listed with the big search engines. Probably not very many.
With the methods explained in the ebook download at the bottom you will learn exactly how Filsaime does this time and time again. check out virology now with my compliments.
6 pack abs-the truth February 5, 2007
Posted by joel in : Uncategorized , 3 commentsIf you’ve ever looked in the mirror without your shirt on and been upset with what you saw, please read on. If you’ve ever been to the beach and seen someone else with her shirt off and said, “I’d like to have abs like that”. Please read on. Today we’re going to talk about the truth about sixpack abs.
The fitness industry is now a multibillion-dollar business. What are some of the current fads? Home exercise machines seen on late-night TV, fat burning pills in your local drugstore, your great aunt’s grapefruit diet recipes, the low-carb diets, than no carb diets, the low or no fat meals, and countless other options. But how many people have had any success with these choices? Supplement companies support the magazines that run their ads. They promise the magic pill that will make your stomach flat, sexy, and lean without a healthy diet or even having to exercise. However, for anyone who’s tried these they know better than 90% of the time they will see no results.
So what’s the answer? How about two hours a day at the gym, an hour on the exercise bike or treadmill, maybe just a simple couple thousand crunches a day. Any one of those will flatten your stomach right? The truth is… Maybe they’ll work a bit. This does however seem like the hardest possible route to a flat midsection. Six pack abs are possible, we see them all the time. Unfortunately, these are usually people on TV with the time and money for personal trainers personal nutritionists and the best health club memberships available. So what do we normal people do if we want to look good with our shirts off? The answer is that we have to use real science-based, proven methods.
The truth about sixpack abs can help you, by showing you the real way to a flat toned stomach. Mike walks you step by step through the process. There is no need for expensive supplements, long hours on a treadmill or other cardio device. There’s no need to stop eating bread and pasta or whatever you may like of the carb variety. It’s all research based and proven. Are we trying to say that you can sit and watch television and eat pizza and get a tone flat midsection? No, of course not. You will have to work at this. As they say, there is no free lunch.
Efficiency is what the system is all about. It’s not about working harder. It’s not about eating less it’s not about cutting out all the foods you want. It’s about eating good for you and good tasting foods. It’s about doing simple exercises that will have the biggest impact in the shortest amount of time. This is a low-cost, minimal effort, opportunity for anyone interested in losing there fat stomach. Who out there can actually say that they’re happy with the way their belly looks, no one I know. With Mike’s system, you can become one of the people that are happy with their abdominals. Working your way through Mike’s eight steps, you will see progress you never thought possible and in less time than you thought possible.
Six pack abs are attainable. All you need is, the truth.
