Cease and Desist? Part 2

The scope of trivial details Loretta Serrano and her cohorts compiled about selected targets is staggering and reminiscent of the J. Edgar Hoover era. The minutiae included a list of the subject’s usernames, email addresses, links to blogs or groups the person frequented, open memberships, and closed memberships complete with notations pertaining to her disassociation from certain forums. Personal particulars were noted about spouses, ex-spouses, kids, step-kids, grandparents, in-laws, neighbors, and pets. People who were completely unaware that a loose cannon from Rocky River, Ohio was circulating and publicizing their information. And very much like the former controversial FBI director, accuracy was not an essential element in Loretta’s dossiers, which contained memorandums such as... “I’m still trying to pin this down.”

It takes a special breed of individual to gather and publish information about every branch in your family tree regardless of age, relationship, and whether or not the unwitting victims have an online presence. It’s in the same class as calculating opportunists who would publicize a legal name they captured through a Paypal transaction.

Intimidation and coercion may give Loretta an adrenaline rush, but respectable people along with presidential candidates recognize there’s a species of sucking mole rats that engage in such tactics, which explains why civilized folks advocate the “back off” concept.

"Let me be a clear as possible: I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people's families are off limits, and people's children are especially off limits.” ~Barack Obama (9/1/08)

Time and again, Loretta Serrano blamed the wrong person for what others had done. When Chrishina Leann Hart spammed misfitting.com, Anita paid the price.

I was sent a link when she opened her comments and as promised I spammed the hell out of her blog, till she called a truce. Out of respect for all of you and Anita I said deal. Hell I had asked for a truce earlier and got shot down. I started not to take it, first thought was don't make deals with the devil. I will have you know my fingers were crossed when I posted deal, heh. I am a troll for petes sake! I had no idea Anita and crew had made this super duper posting area at the time too. I was only trying to do what I thought was best for my bogbusters, though it's not what I wanted to do. ok more in a sec.

If she starts her shit, we will just delete her IP and every other IP she uses for the time. I'll un-delete her IP after a couple hours. It may or may not affect other AOL users. You can always log out and log back in for a new AOL IP if yours is inadvertantly [sic] banned.

Meanwile, no comments about the bog on the main page. It DOES NOT EXIST. Everything over there is bullshit. They now have to invent things to keep the conversation going, since the facts are really too boring. Ignore them. I refuse to dignify that crap with any kind of response. I am SO done with that. “

Where have I heard this before?… Shina/Samantha did what she thought was best for her “friends”! More importantly, Loretta affirmed that she comprehends the AOL Proxy system, yet she feigned ignorance at Usenet when she terrorized Peace for Shina’s chronic harassment.

What an odd comment coming from a person who got so much pleasure from her own involvement in the misfitting spamming of Anita’s blog the previous evening.

“Is anybody over here that can cope and paste? Lesa just IM'd me to come here and ask. She needs a little help.”

Another oddity is a misfit with a conscience.

“Don't forget to post on the main page. I think Joe feels abandoned. I'm all for ignore, ignore, ignore. Even though I helped spam the bog yesterday, doesn't mean I feel good about it. I really don't like conflict and really don't like little bog twits. The high road is my favorite traveling path to happiness and peace”.

“And from Spamantha - she's not done yet.”

To finish what I was saying. I think after their disrespect of our bog last night and all freaking day today. They are due a trolling or 100. I'm sick to death of the threats, the bullshit, the lies and did I say threats? She crossed the line today with me, for the last time. Now that I know Anita has a monkey pooper scooper, her ass is mine! I'm sorry if you don't agree with me, but it's how I feel.

Now, there’s a familiar ditty. A tune the impoverished twit would yodel for over two years as she set about the difficult but necessary work of drawing more attention to herself.

In the meantime, Loretta explained to the overly sensitive what motivated her to write a story about a woman whose sister was brutally murdered, which she characterized as exaggerated comedy. Mind you, the purported Holly and Molly “joke” was penned subsequent to a misfitting ‘Cease and Desist’ letter campaign that was brought to the attention of Randall Lane, the editor-in-chief of a magazine KCL was affiliated with.

“For those whose eyebrows rose for the Holly and Molly story, it was a joke. I didn't kill off her sister. It was designed to spoof Katie and her sister was a secondary character. It's been 17 years, folks. Katie has canonized her sister in the interim. I don't think in 17 years any of us will still be carrying a torch for Laci Peterson (nor will her sister, Amy.) Katie's crusade has never really been about her sister for a LONG time. I was hoping this story would demonstrate that FARCE. The ending? You'll like it!”

On October 9, 2005, Loretta Serrano offered rewards for information about about JA ($500) and Anita($200) at Usenet. She pledged to underwrite $1000 for information about Samantha/Shina by proxy two months later.

By the end of October 2005, Loretta erroneously announced that Peace was responsible for harassing her at Usenet citing AOL IPs as evidence. That’s a remarkable feat considering AOL has 10 million subscribers, none of which can be uniquely identified as their IP address is shared with hundreds if not thousands of other AOL users.

Usenet: Retzq – 10/30/05 @ 3:28 pm

“Please note:
152.163.100.130 - Deanna's new IP for today (See above IP address in "GloryDays' " post of 3:16 pm. (EDT)

64.12.116.130 - Troll on Usent [sic] IP today (the one posting as Retz3 and now 2) - has been posting as "bechinb..." on this thread above as well. (Among other trolling names and posts.) It's another AOL IP.

205.188.117.14 "Glory Days" IP earlier today from a post she made at 1:11 AM this morning. that 205.188.117.14 IP matches every single Dr. N post, Jaq&Eve post, Ldillion post, etc. from the past few days - the one putting up my kids pictures, etc, the fake personal ad, lists of my names, family names, etc. Putting two and two together we can safely conclude that Deanna/Peace/Glory Days is trolling here regularly and has a big obsession with me. There is a second troll - But Deanna? Now she comes in with a new IP? Too late, Deanna. Read the IP addresses on all your previous posts and WEAP [sic]. “

For your convenience, an AOL primer can be found HERE. Furthermore, there were 3,409 comments logged at Usenet in October 2005. Over three hundred of the comments were posted on 10/30/05.

Forking MOWron. It's the same IP - every single one of this stupid woman's trolling posts and fake names is the EXACT SAME IP! No other person here is using that IP. She's so stupid, she is a danger to herself and others.

There’s one small problem with the cyber detective’s epiphany… she was wrong. DEAD WRONG! Her indictment was as faulty as her conclusions about John Mason, Mark Lunsford, Daniel Horowitz and so many others.

Chrishina Leann Hart posted at the very same time Glorydays/Peace did. And since anony.authorunknown/Shina Hart was the person responsible for publishing Loretta’s information at Usenet, Peace couldn’t possibly have done it and should have been thoroughly vindicated. Yet, in spite of the exculpatory evidence staring her in the face, Loretta Serrano continued to taunt Peace for months.

Who’s the “forking MOWron”?

Loretta claims that someone with the nic "Watch Your Step" tried to post comments that could be perceived at kidnapping threats on her blog. Since she has the ability to censor every comment, she was able to stop them before they appeared. She did, however, send them via email to about 40 people.

Unfortunately, in her attempt to warn this "Watch Your Step" entity that she was saving their posts for law enforcement, she forget to change the nic in the "Name" field from the one she'd used to compose the threatening comments, that were not posted but sent to others as "proof," back to her own name.

Dear "Watch your Step."

Or, should we say, "Samantha?" Deanna?

Your threatening posts are being saved for law enforcement. Thanks for escalating. We knew it was only a matter of time.

Posted by: Watch Your Step at November 21, 2005 01:34 AM

For anyone who may not have "gotten it" yet:

2. “This same person posted my daughter's school address on my blog. The comment was not approved (it was from "Watch Your Step" - as was the DL post that I didn't approve for publicaction) and I sent both of those attempted comments via email to about 40 people. There are enough witnesses to this attempted threat than you have posters combined. -Posted by: loretta at November 25, 2005 11:06 AM “

Yes, it's quite astonishing how much she has escalated in the past few days, Deege. Last night she tried to post some other information that was very threatening and can only be interpreted as a kidnapping threat.

The IP address from "Watch your step" matches the IP address of the "Candle Lover" on Usenet posting illegally obtained information.

Everyone - and I mean everyone - needs to do something about this. Whatever you can do - research, help me report the abuse to Google (since she is using Google to access it and a g-mail address) - email me any contact information.

I think I'll start with the sheriff's departments from both counties involved. If anyone has any experience with this kind of harassment, please e-mail me.

Up to this point, Samantha/Peace/Deanna was just posting pictures of my kids she snagged from my blog and stupid threats. Now, she's gone over the line.

It's time to put a stop to this once and for all. If any of you are friends with any of the people at Lora's site, maybe it's time to get in touch with them and appeal to their common sense.

If this stalker is tracked back to Lora's, all hell will break loose.

These are a few of so many reasons why Retzie, the "spirited imp trapped in hausfrau life", earned the FOTY award!

Isn't it ironic, that a woman who spent the last five years feeding off and publishing people's history now requests the removal of her online scarlet past?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to pardon you
But frankly I’m amazed
Your candle may burn out before
Your legend ever fades

Cease and Desist? Part 1

The revelation concerning a Cease & Desist letter authored by Loretta Serrano, owner of http://www.misfitting.com/, took me by surprise because I wasn't notified. After viewing a copy of the document Cathy received, I noticed Loretta made a grave error in attempting to transmit the communication to me. The self-proclaimed sleuth sent it to an email account that's been closed for nearly four years and in doing so... shot herself in the foot!

I have NEVER posted my full legal name in cyberspace on any forum in all the years I’ve had access to the Internet. I’ve never posted my spouse’s name either. Needless to say, when Loretta Serrano aka Loretta Dillon published my personal information at bullybuster burlesque I was perplexed as to how she knew my last name. Puzzle solved!

When Laci Peterson went missing in 2002, I had an ISP with a monthly rate that allowed a limited number of hours. After receiving a hefty bill for exceeding my allotted time I activated a new account with a different service provider that offered unlimited usage. Since I subscribed to various Yahoo groups along with Modbee updates in the original account, I chose to phase it out rather than close it immediately. It became a back-up account where my Peterson case information was temporarily stored until I had time to sort through the documentation. It was also tied in with my Paypal account.

After four months of posting at misfitting.com, I made a contribution through Loretta's Paypal icon. Obviously the email address to my old account accompanied the donation. When the funds were transferred I was identified as the account holder, which is confirmed in Loretta’s note of thanks. Naturally, the account was in my legal name.

Exhibit A:

Subject: Receipt for your Payment to retzq@misfitting.com
Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2003 07:08:04 –0700
From: service at paypal.com
To: xxxxxx at attglobal.net

This email confirms that you have paid retzq@misfitting.com $xx.xx using
PayPal. This credit card transaction will appear on your bill as "PAYPAL *RETZQ".

Exhibit B:

Subject: Thank you!
Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2003 12:25:27 –0400
From: "loretta s." <lmds@visn.net>
To: xxxxxx at attglobal.net

Thanks, Charlene,

You are very generous to tip your hostess! It's not necessary, but it is appreciated! Love having you around, by the way. You inspire me daily!

Kind regards,
Loretta

(Note: I posted as Mrs V at misfitting!)

The "PAYPAL *RETZQ". transaction listed the account holder’s name as Loretta Smith NOT Loretta Serrano. I don’t know what the repercussions are for opening an account under a bogus name with a company that handles cash transactions. Perhaps the impending Lori Drew trial will spell it all out for us.

The fact is, Loretta’s last name was Smith when she attacked Miss Loveliness in 1998. The assault took place six months after Loretta was awarded a lump sum payment of $9,500.00 for child support in the case of Smith vs Smith , which was ordered to be paid in full by 7/3/98. Yet, within six months, Loretta filed an affidavit of indigency that was approved on 1/13/99 qualifying her for a public defender at the taxpayer's expense. She listed assets of $20.00 cash on hand, $100.00 in checking, and $2500.00 in savings. Missing from the financial disclosure was the recent $9500.00 child support payment, although she added a curious notation alleging, “We are saving for college”.

But I digress.

Any respectable person would be horrified that Loretta Serrano harvested a legal name through a secured electronic cash transfer that she profited from, and then publicized the name while inciting others to cause mental stress. It’s precisely what the bastard did and the evidence is irrefutable. Furthermore, it puts her in the hot seat according to Ohio Stalking Laws , and it should give pause to anyone who entertains the notion of donating to her blog.

It also contradicts Loretta’s version of how personal information was compiled for publication at the fifteen spite blogs she and her partner Anne Curi created.

“The information that was published was obtained in entirely overt (rather than covert) ways:
1. Public records online
2. Personal history
3. Blog posts/comments from existing web sites/blogs on which various people posted their information.
4. Posts and IP tracking from various blogs, namely all the blogs I had as well as others' blogs on which people posted.
5. Emails

None of the personal information was obtained in any underhanded way. All of it was easily obtained and all it took was a little sleuthing. After all, the original premise of everyone's interest in Misfitting was the crime story element. We were little cyber sleuthers, dontcha know.

Personally, I did very little to sleuth. I was too busy or lazy to do it and I always had plenty of volunteers who had lots of time on their hands and were more than happy to do it.

Yes, despite my maligned reputation, I really did not have much time or desire to chase people around the Net. Most of that chasing was done by others (many others) and the info was handed to me on a silver platter.”
loretta 06.01.07 - 6:09 pm

Loretta Serrano spent years destroying her own reputation on every major forum in Cyberspace. It didn’t matter whether you were nice to her or found fault with her; Loretta treated everyone that crossed her path with equal disdain. Jbean from Websleuths can attest to that reality.

The “silver platter” is actually quite tarnished.

A photo of my residence was unlawfully swiped from a reevaluation website and subsequently published on a blog Loretta and company created under my legal name. That act violated the company’s ‘Terms and Conditions of Use’ as well as Copyright Laws and is prosecutable under the governing law and jurisdiction of the state of Rhode Island!

Hacking into a yahoo account and stealing emails is indeed a "covert” operation. It's also against the law! The account belonged to Loretta’s sister.

And then there's the chat transcript between Chrishina Leann Hart and another person that was published on one of the spite blogs. Was it a donation?

A classic example of how Loretta Serrano recruited her band of misfits to do her bidding dates back to December 2005 as she posted under yet another alias!

Exhibit C:

“I'd like to run something by the academy before I do anything. The first time I posted a reward on Aneedaturnbacktime and JA on my blog, D-Paula about fainted.

I know that she would not feel that way, now.

However, I don't think the mutts trust me, and it would be a lot more effective coming from one of you or a group of you.

If one or more of you would sponsor a bounty on Samantha, I would underwrite it. I think it is very possible that with a little financial incentive, someone will spill on her.

Think about it. I will go as high as $1000.

Posted by: E.F. Hutton (Loretta Serrano) December 19, 2005 at 12:10 PM

Fascinating! The former indigent offered $1000 for information about a self-professed Internet troll with the brain functionality of an artichoke! Of course this bounty came on the heels of Loretta blaming Peace for things Chrishina/Samantha had done at Usenet. Loretta not only posted personal details about Peace, but also violated the privacy of her family members by publicizing names and providing links to their websites.

Loretta traumatized Peace and threatened to call her employer. The entire exchange is still floating around cyberspace THREE years after the fact! And when all was said and done, Peace felt worse for the children.

“Of all of us, Loretta probably hates me the most. She has been insulting me, lying about me, and accusing me of things I didn't do, longer than anyone else. (Not counting those in her RL).

The most appalling (to me), hateful, and hurtful things that have been done by Loretta, to any of us, is what she did to Anita... when she posted Anita's children's names, location and other info and what she did to Katie... well, we ALL know what she did to Katie.”
Peace 11.11.06 - 8:56 pm

"The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior! What you say and do defines who you are, and who you are…you are forever."

"For the record, I posted Lora's kids' names and BDates and her new address on Usenet and my blog to prove a point. I realized that it was going to stay in some venue permanently, as did all the posts that (Names edited) and all the mutts who used my daughter's name and my name to slander me at Usenet. I realized that it was not an appropriate venue for that, but I did it anyway.

Did I feel bad about it? Yes, actually. You can ask the people in the kitchen what I said. I said, I know it was wrong, but I did it anyway. Does that make me a sociopath? Have at it. I am no more pathological than you all, and in fact have not done a fraction of the things of which you accuse me."
Loretta Serrano, June 25, 2006 - 7:22 PM

The disclosure set a standard for irrational, immoral and self-destructive behavior that would take Britney Spears five months to surpass.

To be continued.
