Don't trade with this guy who clames to be "Canada's Biggest Beastie Boy Fan". He should be called "Canada's Biggest Beastie Boy Scammer". He's a well known bad trader. Check out this old thread:

Just wanted to tell everyone NOT to trade with paulb “canada’s biggest beastie boys fan”. Paul and I started talking in 2004 during the Beastie’s Pageant tour. He wanted to get recordings of the Miami and Tampa show that I had. After talking through msn messenger for months, we finally agreed to trade some shows. He wanted “The Sounds of Science” 4 lp & book, and in return I was going to get 12 dvd shows of my choice. So I bought “The Sounds of Science” brand new off of ebay, with shipping cost it came to about $115. I had fulfilled my end of the deal, now Paul was supposed to send me the dvd’s. Month after month we’d talk on msn, I’d ask about the dvd’s and everytime it was “I’ve been busy, but I’ll send them right out to you.” This has been going on for over a year now.The last time he responded to my email was back on April 7, at which point he said “no excuse, I’ve been busy but I’ll send them right out.” Well, I’m still waiting. Since then I’ve sent Paul at least 40-50 emails and pm’s on the Beastie Boys message board. He hasn’t responded once.

Everyone should know that Paul can not be trusted to trade with. As many members on this board can testify, I am true to my word and a very gracious person. I’ve sent out many items to people without asking for anything in return. Included in that list are Minton, Dandyfop, theribit, and facedownfall, and others. It’s not a money issue, who cares about $115 I spent over a year ago, it’s the fact that we had a deal, we were “friends” and now he won’t hold up his end of the deal. Not to mention I really wanted to get those live dvd’s from him. We all know how much Paul likes to horde his stuff for himself.

So let this be a lesson to everyone on here. Yeah, I got screwed, probably was way too patient with this kid, but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. Don’t anyone else trade or share with him!!!"

I'm glad someone has called paulb out. I got burned by him last year. We traded online, I traded him two shows in FLAC format for a DVD. After he had downloaded the two shows from me, he decided to stop the transfer of the DVD which I was downloading from him. His only explanation: He 'already had' one of the shows, just a different recording. So I was left with a partial download of a DVD which is pretty much useless. At the time he said he'd hook me up with 'something else instead', which I couldn't understand because the DVD was about two thirds complete (why couldn't he just let the transfer finish?). I was really mad about this, but went offline a few minutes after.

After reading this, it seems i'm just one of many who have been ripped off by him. So like all the rest i'm going to say beware: paulb is a thief and a liar. Stay well away. And he is indeed still around - he posts comments asking people to trade on torrent sites all the time."

I only had 1 dealing with PaulB, and it was a bad one.
I sent him $20 through Paypal to copy 2 live DVDs (The '04 MSG show and Jones Beach Show).
He never sent, so I had paypal get my money back from him after a month of waiting.
He e-mailed me with a decent amout of explitives, about how I had no patience."

Paulb sucks!

YoungRemy

10-08-2007, 09:36 PM

what's the point of bringing back a topic thats over a year old, did something happen recently are you just stirring some shit in the pot?

and why put it in two forums as duplicates?

Sorry pshabi, but if you click on this link:

http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/archi...p/t-69935.html (http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/archive/index.php/t-69935.html)

And scroll down you will find your name above that comment. It also has the same comment with the name bigblu89 above it so I guess there was a screw-up or maybe you quoted it or something.

I was supposed to trade with the guy and then I remembered reading a comment on dimeadozen saying not to trade with a guy named paulb which had a link to the same thread as above so I found the thread to refresh my and everyone else's memory. Why did I put it in 2 threads? To really piss him off that's why. He was probably hoping people had forgotten about it by now.

So, to answer Remy's question, paulb didn't do anything to screw you over but you're stirring up old shit anyhow. Well done.

I like Paul. I highly doubt that you're capable of pissing him off.

And once again, I did not type that passage. I'd like it removed.

Did you also not type this passage: "How many people have come forth with bad trading stories with this fuckbitch? God, people like Paul really make me rethink my nonviolent approach to life."

Or this one: "Wow, don't be so mean people! Maybe the guy's just a serious procrastinator (I know I am). :( So, if you pay your electric bill today, and they don't turn on your electricity for 2-3 months, if ever, you're cool with that, right? He hasn't exactly been the board sweetheart, so slack he does not get."

What about this one: "Then why not try telling the "real" version...

even if SR's is the only true one, it still is pretty lame of you.

Hmmmmm, either everyone in this thread is full of shit, on the same day

or

Paul's full of shit.

I wonder?????? If people were posting blatant lies about me and defaming my character, I'd be pretty defensive about it. I'd be ready to clear my name right away.

So, why haven't you done that Paul?"

Or did someone hack into your BBMB account, post false messages uner your screen name, and get involved in on an ongoing debate about the ethics of trading as an elaborate prank.

YoungRemy

10-08-2007, 11:13 PM

that was from an archive of an old thread that has more than likely been purged, accounts erased, etc...

i'm pretty sure the guy came forward a year ago with his statement, why does he owe an explanation if nothing has happened since then?

jennyb

10-08-2007, 11:21 PM

Oh for crying out loud.... sigh.... need we dig this stupid shit up?! I'm sure Paul will enjoy being so 'popular' again. Seriously people, get a life. (n)

I kinda like the guy... ;) hmmmm, bad boys are always pretty hot though, so yeah, talk all that shit, it'll just make me yearn more for the day I can see him again!

plus... paulb and pshabi settled everything (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/86/280842665_ffb892cebc_o.jpg).... s'all good.

So maybe this thread doesn't make me too popular with some of the "paulb's-dick-sucking-no-life-computer-geeks" out there. I could give less than a fuck. I'm trying to warn other potential traders to stear clear of this guy. The facts speak for themselves. I'm starting to realize there's a lot of really stupid people on this board. Stupid people, maybe you need to read it twice to get it through your fucking heads so here it is again:

He's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--no

You're the one givin' up the love
Anytime he needs it
But you turn your back and then he's off
and runnin' with the crowd
You're the one to sacrifice
Anything to please him
Do you really think he thinks about you
when he's out

He's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--no

It was only late last night
He was out there sneakin'
Then he called you up to check that you
were waiting by the phone
All the world's a candy store
He's been trick or treatin'
When it comes to true love girl with him
there's no one home

He's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--no

You could find somebody better girl
He could only make you cry
You deserve somebody better girl
He's c-cold as ice

He's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool--no

He's a cold-hearted snake
Look into his eyes
Oh oh oh
He's been tellin' lies
He's a lover boy at play
He don't play by rules
Oh oh oh
Girl don't play the fool

yo, here are the facts. I dont trade anymore. I havent for years. I used to do so heavily and accomplished what I wanted to with that. Just cause you may read 3 negative things from dozens and dozens of trades, doesnt mean shit. You are just making this thread cause you are a fuckin whiny bitch cause i wont trade you for the Toronto and Montreal dvds you filmed. Overall, Im not into the trading thing anymore, if you share it, thats awesome, if not, its your stuff, keep it. But, what have I done to you? We've never traded. We've never had beef. We've talked a bit in the past and that was totally fine. So, whats the point of this thread? I dont trade, so who are u trying to warn? Yourself? you're the one who wants my shit, not me.

eargogglez

10-09-2007, 08:39 AM

You don't trade anymore, eh, even though you were supposedly going to trade with me? So why the fuck do you have your trading list link under every post you make on here and the torrent sites? I guess you mean you don't trade your shit after other people send you theirs! Yeah, the truth hurts.

10-09-2007, 08:46 AM

I've got an idea, dont trade with him... but quit spaming the boards like a little whiny little bitch because he doesnt want to trade with you

And special thanks to the poster who brought this crap back to life. I appreciate being embarassed.

That dumb historical thread took all the marks out to indicate what's a quote and what's not. I sure as hell didn't say this: "oh i didnt realise that! some ppl are just 2 trusting. so was th book any better than the one that was given with the cd?"

I can't believe that this crap is living on in some alternate dimension for tapers, and that I appear to be illiterate in that dimension. :rolleyes:
