  1. Yeah, you can only do something once you know. And as long as you give someone a fair shake and a chance to make it right and if they don’t, then if you handle it honorably, that’s the best you can do. I think that’s what you’ve done @vicki_fitch Much respect.

  2. @vicki_fitch you have dealt with this professionally, not saying things until you knew for sure @robertcstern was scamming folks… and you have the integrity to come here and step up about what you now know is going on

  3. People online that are looking for hope ~ purchase a product and don’t receive what they paid for feel they are alone and don’t know where to turn and don’t speak out.

    @Brittany_Madz bullcrap. tons of people buy Twitter followers but how does that make someone a scammer? BIG DIFFERENCE. I don’t believe in buying followers but it doesn’t make someone a scammer

  5. @Brittany_Madz I’d be very careful about saying that about Brian Fanzo. Unlock some of the others we are talking about…. he is WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED in the industry. And by BIG BRANDS.

  6. @AlessandraCo – People online that are looking for hope ~ purchase a product and don’t receive what they paid for feel they are alone and don’t know where to turn and don’t speak out.

  7. @Brittany_Madz What I am saying is be very careful with how you speak about him. Many of us here know him personally & professionally. HE IS LEGIT and an amazing person. Just be careful until you truly know someone before you speak. 

  8. @Brittany_Madz wouldn’t the right forum for that to start your own separate discussion/blab for it with evidence/multiple victims (if it’s truly the case)? But a blanket statement isn’t credible in and of itself.

  9. StreamLife says:

    @vicki_fitch we’d love to have you as a speaker at #StreamLifeLive in Oct. Paid and travel covered. Speak about your message. DM once the dust has settled. <3

  10. @Brittany_Madz I don’t care about that. I’m saying, to highjack comments in a discussion about something else and just saying someone is bad isn’t the appropriate venue. Start a separate blab with others to back it up if you want to be credible.

  11. @Brittany_Madz nothing. Barely know of him, saw him talk about some phone mounts once on a shared scope. I’m saying you’re hijacking a convo, after trolling on several blabs the last few days and you should start your own, with credible evidence/multiple accounts from people, to back up your statements. It’s not for this discussion. You’re hurting your own credibility.

  12. I wasn’t here earlier, but from the practical side, was there any additional advice given on PayPal refunds and the process? Any ideas on how/what to do next?

  13. @mcphillips It’s alright. She’s just causing trouble and has NOTHING to back up anything she’s saying. She doesn’t know him the way many of us do. I have worked with him and know the work that he does. He has worked with my brands and she knows NOT what she speaks of. 

  14. BrittanyMadz says:

    @mcphillips yes he scams many people with PayPal, ApplePay and others….he talks a big game and then takes there money and never gives you anything for it

  15. StreamLife says:

    @Brittany_Madz you’re OBVIOUSLY a spoof account since you know so much about blab but yet have only been here for 8 days…either get on cam and show face to make your claims or please stop.

  16. I am new to this but if there are others out there doing this, the right thing is to speak up. Hearing that this was going on and people out there knew while Vicki was planning this tour and people knew….it is just not morally right

  17. StreamLife says:

    @Brittany_Madz not doubting about Robert. But for someone who’s “new” you posted his information, and have comments and knowledge about things a newbie wouldn’t. 

  18. @Brittany_Madz: you’re full is shit. Fanzo is one of the most stand-up people in the live streaming community. go take your recently created troll account (with 3 Twitter followers) elsewhere

  19. @RobertScamStern you hurt your own credibility being a 0 day account with a name like that. Be yourself as you are/have been with whatever account and your comments will matter more.

  20. Chris Strub says:

    I mean this in the nicest way possible. what is the goal of this blab? what are we trying to accomplish as a group? @basschica @mscandyblog @jana_steals @chocolatejohnny 

  21. @PetLoveBiz yeah… It changes friendships/family etc. I’ll give/help if I see worthy, but loaning makes you scrutinize and judge and negative etc. And whether right or wrong etc, it just taints it.

  22. Ed B. says:

    @SeanMcKennaTech I’m sure about it. Funny when I asked for plans and expectations about the summit, I never received it. You had all that info 

  23. I was immediately skeptical having never heard of this “social media expert” prior to Periscope. The social media world isn’t my space, but I have a good sense of who has been around for a while

  24. StreamLife says:

    If you call paypal and tell them they’ll opinion a claim and pay the money back directly, regardless of his account balance or his account being frozen.

  25. Q says:

    @docmuscles It was Robert, Vicki and myself, as well as other folks who were making fun of AZ. I remember it like it was yesterday. 

  26. Q says:

    @vicki_fitch That’s not what I am talking about. @docmuscles said he didn’t think it was on the schedule, and I said it was. There was that blab we were all on, and it was on the website. 

  27. kevinmadison says:

    @ShanaLOVECoach I don’t even choose to write about it, dear. Not my style, but wrong has been done involving money w/ a lot of ppl with a guy a lot of ppl know : (

  28. Q says:

    @vicki_fitch I didn’t go that far on the website. The point is we all talked about it and I saw the city and date on the website. So to me, I thought it was happening. We all also discussed meeting each other. He also asked me out on a date when you all were here. 

  29. @qthebrand I registered for the AZ conference and called the venue the day before and the weren’t sure of what it was. Then I got a message 2 hours later from Vicki it had been cancelled the night before. 

  30. @ChrisStrub they are handling it respectfully. He lied and deceived. They deserve to get the truth by putting together the pieces and others deserve to know. They aren’t being mean.

  31. I actually reached out to him asking about the OC Janaury date because I was going to show up to see Vic, he read my message on FB and would not respond despite my continuing to ask him

  32. He’s not ready to face the truth, which means he’s not willing to get help/fix the underlying problem yet. He needs to come to terms with himself and be ready for help. We can’t will someone into admitting a problem/seeking help (whatever the cause may be). We can only limit the accessibility to getting the money to continue it by speaking out.

  33. Ok, wait. He cancelled because there “were only 23 people?” Arizona people were first told he had a family emergency. I’m feeling more and more violated as the night progresses and it’s taken 45 days for the “truth” to surface?

  34. Yeah, they don’t have to be serial killers….sociopaths just have to forgo treating others well when they are charismatic to get their way and for their own gain.

  35. I know it hurts to say something and you feel like you are betraying, but you’re not. You’re helping countless others. Thanks for caring about the community @vicki_fitch @biblenewsradio

  36. @vicki_fitch was trying super hard to help folks and be professional, which speaks to who she is…. people better not put her name in the negative corner! I knew when it was cancelled that she would be hurt as bad or worse than any of us who had signed up

  37. StreamLife says:

    Just goes to show how everyone needs to be on guard, this is the 2nd person to be exposed like this…think back to CovertPatron and now RobertCStern

  38. BradO says:

    so who has a link for me to gain some context? Im sorry I been go crazy with 8 million other things and hes a guy I held/hold in some regard… anything? 

  39. Robyn Wright says:

    TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WOULD OTHERS TO TREAT YOU – that means that if you want other to treat you kindly you treat them kindly – that *IS* what @vicki_fitch is doing here tonight
