This guy has not only taken my money, but has taken my sites hostage. I was doing SEO work for a client and had 13 domains in my clients account. This guy pretended he was my client with godaddy because he knew the last 6 digits of the credit card on file. He then began a smear campaign against my client and now he is saying my client owes him money. This guy isn't even professional. He used and abused my client and now is trying to extort more money out of him.

  • @rookncastle - you either have the wrong guy or you are posting from Iran. Joel Leyden is an Internet Pioneer whose work has been featured in CNN, TIME, Washington Post and FOX News. He has served as a senior consultant to the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the US State Dept. Either you are an agent coming from Iran or Syria or you are a very negligent Webmaster to have allowed someone to control your domains - if they are your domains. Understand if Leyden gets a hold of your smear campaign, you and your client could be in court on slander and libel charges.

  • Hi, David I think I know I have the right guy. Also, I wouldn't tout to loudly about his credentials because anybody can post on ireport and blog. Also, I don't believe he is welcome in Israel anymore due to legal issues he had and going through at this time. I could post all of the information I have gathered through reconnaissance on this person that are actual facts and not libel or slander. I will have you know that I am trying to remove these statements because he is being cooperative now. However, if the cooperation ends that's a whole different story. It is regretful that I had to post this because I would only do this if I felt no other option existed, which I did feel, but he is cooperating and needless to say since he is cooperative right now this will be removed ASAP as soon as scambook calls me. Thank you for your post.

  • @rookncastle - there are many enemies of the State of Israel. I know Joel and have worked with him. He has no legal issues in Israel but those in Iran, Syria and Gaza have and will continue to post misinformation about him and others who work for and with the Israeli government. Regarding Joel's credentials - this is not a blog - it is TIME Magazine: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1871302,00.html?imw=Y
    I wish you luck in resolving and disputes that you may have.

  • I have known and worked with Joel for over 10 years. He is as honest as one can be.

    In speaking to him I found out that your client, Richard Maize has not paid Joel, owes Joel and others for professional services and is not very honest.

    In fact, the FBI is sending your client Richard Maize to prison for mortgage fraud!!!

    LOS ANGELES - Richard Maize, a mortgage banker, has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for his role in a massive mortgage fraud scam that caused more than $18.5 million in losses to banks, including his former employer.

    Richard A. Maize, 53, of Beverly Hills, was sentenced late yesterday afternoon by United States District Judge Dean D. Pregerson. In addition to the prison term, which Richard Maize was ordered to begin serving on December 2, Judge Pregerson ordered Richard Maize to pay $4 million in restitution, about $3.6 million of which has already been paid to victims Lehman Brothers Bank and RBC Mortgage Company.

    Richard Maize previously pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and loan fraud, three counts of bank fraud and one count of making a false statement on a federal tax return.

    Richard Maize was involved in a wide-ranging and sophisticated conspiracy to defraud federally insured mortgage lenders out of tens of millions of dollars. As part of the scam, the conspirators obtained inflated mortgage loans on expensive homes in some of California’s most exclusive neighborhoods, including Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Holmby Hills, and Malibu.

    Richard Maize, was a co-founder of Americorp Funding, a mortgage banking company with offices in West Los Angeles and Pasadena that originated, brokered, funded and sold mortgage loans.
