Hello,

My Name is Roland Gaza, You will know a little bit about myself at my website: www.potw-clan.us.
click: My Photo.
I'mnot just a regular navy seals for 3 years in Vietnam but also worked in FBI as Intel Analyst for 28 years. (Retired/Declasified: Jan.1, 2001).

I beleive you have client Clan name www.1-sk.com.
This clan is under investigation by FBI/ICCC for Federal Violations. DOS Attack (Denial Of Service) our Server, www.gameservers.com and potw-clan.us.

In Spite of my Plea to Stop Hacking and giving a Free PB/Cal Proof Hacks/Cheats with IP and CD/Guid Gen. to it's members, still keep doing them to all GS Servers.

I know you don't have anything to do with 1SK Clan but using your Service might Incriminate you or Accessories for Illegal Activities of this Clan.

My Goal why I have a Server is to help kids to young Adult to Stay Home play Internet Video Games to avoid hanging out Out in the Streets looking for trouble and such. 1SK clan Leader and it's members even at home are TROUBLES.

IDK anything running my website nor my GS server, my members and GS staff do them for me.
All I do is Pay all the Bills and Financial responsibilities.
I had my own Computer Guys and Secretaries the reason I never learned how PC, Servers, Website, etc. works.

Hoping you can help me and the Internet Gaming Communities by getting Rid of 1SK Clan. Whatever they pay you, I'll pay them myself.

Thanks,
Roland Gaza (PotW namvet)

As mentioned www.1-sk.com is using one of my free vB skin for their vB forums so is there anyway i will be sued with their crime/activities they do?

Other then that i am no way connected with them.

While I am no lawyer, I would say 100% no. It sounds like silly clan rivalries to me.

Marco van Herwaarden · #3 10-02-2007, 07:01 AM

No ofcourse not.

And don't get fooled by "someone" sending you an email claiming that he is a navy seal and former FBI. Probably just a war between 2 boards.

Thanks for the help both of you, for a minute i was so confused( a bit afraid too!) by reading that PM...

I am relaxed now...opps!

Actually, 99.9%.

Anyway, formal documents have lowered standards if it's now accepted to use standalone abbreviations such as "IDK". Besides, for someone who claimed to have been in Navy Seals (3 years) and FBI (28 years), he sure lacks the resources.

Dean C · #6 10-02-2007, 08:08 AM

I am former FBI and intel analyst too

magnus · #7 10-02-2007, 10:54 AM

lol.

I am Navy Seal to. I does work for CIA now an I am telling truth.

Some people, sheesh. Is this really the best this guy can do? Does he really expect someone to just blindly accept what they're saying just because they make up some fake credentials?

Add this fool to the VeriSEAL imposter database @ http://www.veriseal.org.

As they said, you cannot be sued. Assuming you simply made the skin for the site, and even then they downloaded and used it themselves from your site, you have nothing to worry about. It would be like them suing/sending letters to Jelsoft because the forum uses vBulletin.

this is fully personal email, not related to any legals... the legals always use the word "We", not "i"... and they never say "I know you don't have anything to do with...."... they never do assumptions. they accuse you or never contact you...

this is lame clan fighting.

this is not the first time i see that. your name was in the style file, and they used it to trouble you... you just have one thing to do... put their email in your banlist... or even better... report them to the CIA... yes yes, it will make them fear.

Thanks to everyone who responded here and clearing my doubt, i made a decent reply to him explaining my situation...

i will update here, if i get any reply back from him...

thanks again...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
