Do you have a question? So you were sharing private information, and you’re upset you’re getting sued? Sorry, I don’t totally understand. Ironically, my parents may also be getting sued… by the parents of my best friend (and best man at my wedding this summer)… Yea, don’t rent property to friends, lol. ---

I had to re-read what you said several times. > [@XxEctOxX](#): > > it has something to due with sharing private information/internet betting which i have done. …which you have done? So,… you HAVE done what you’re getting sued for? I’m not sure this bolsters your side of the perspective very much. Also, my search for it came back to a web designer here in San Diego around the Pacific Beach area. ---

Eh, if you are guilty you probably shouldn’t be admitting it on a public forum. I was served this summer over a loan I didn’t believe was mine (they had my middle name wrong), that I thought had been taken care of when I verbally requested proof of debt which was never delivered (verbal, so I can’t prove it) and the debt collector didn’t contact me again for another year when I got hit with the court papers. By the time I got the proof I needed it was too late and I wasn’t in a position to settle for their 1/4th of debt owed offer, but we have arranged payments of the balance in full over time to avoid court. ---

If I were you, I would definitely go with the “this is gay” defense. Statistically speaking, it’s a very viable and successful strategy in the courts. ---

Sorry I Didn’t proof read it. That’s a big mistake by me. But what the problem is there saying I’m doing this stuff and “I HAVE NOT” done any of these things. I have never been to his site nor done any shared any info about sports ■■■■. I watch super bowl and the world series but that’s as far as I go. So I very upset that this thing is being pinned on me. The big problem is that they said the ip adress used came back to me. This is a load of shit ---

Sounds like they’re baiting you man. It’s easy to mask an IP address. If I were you I wouldn’t give them any info at all. Bring the notice to a lawyer. This could just be a phishing scheme. ---

It’s just frustrating cause I’ve had to shell out 750$ to my lawer to send a reply to the civil suit regarding the issue. It sucks that I have to pay… To not pay ---

> [@XxEctOxX](#): > > The big problem is that they said the ip adress used came back to me. This is a load of shit Sounds like you dun goofed because they backtraced it. All joking aside, I am sorry to hear about this man. I do tend to agree with Vince that it sounds really fishy to me. You might have grounds for a counter-suite if they are trying to bring you up on false charges. ---

No, not true. I’ve even been a process server back when I was going through college. Plenty of civilians can work as process servers, the trick is that you have to positively ID the person as who you’re serving. There’s more, I’m not going into it here, let’s just say it doesn’t have to be a cop. ( …around here. Your state may vary. ) Some people will try to cause you harm so it can be dangerous. So their basis for identifying you is by tracing your IP address? Yes, they probably have the wrong guy and the real bad guy masked his IP by choosing one at random; yours. > [@Carpeteria](#): > > If I were you, I would definitely go with the “this is gay” defense. Statistically speaking, it’s a very viable and successful strategy in the courts. Sound advice. Go with it. ---
