The Violent Squirrel removed from PriceGrabber.com
September 17, 2009
I see that The Violent Squirrel has been removed from PriceGrabber.com. Shocking! I wonder why?
Also note the one 5 star review he had on Price Grabber – I wonder who wrote that? Someone with only one review to their name. It’s too easy to fake these reviews and mislead people. I hadn’t really given it much thought before but now my eyes are wide open!

i totally got ripped off by this guy.
is there anywhere i can write a negative
review for him so no one else will be conned
again? thank you.
Hi Cindy,
I’ve tried many times writing a negative review at Nextag but my review is never published – I really don’t know why but it’s very fishy and I don’t trust Nextag much after this experience. He has mostly all good reviews there which most likely he has written himself. But please try and see if you can publish a negative review and let us know what happens. Other than that you can write a report at ripoffreport.com. Also you can tell us your story here by posting a comment under http://bogusware.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/scammed-with-counterfeit-photoshop-adobe-cs3-software/.
He was arrested in October 2010
Hi Paul, Do you have any further info on this?
Got scammed as well. Scammed software was Photoshop CS3 S/N 1330-1956-8607-4343-3550-5874
This person continues to use email at: violent.squirrel@gmail.com
Hi Lincoln, thanks for sharing your experience. You can try submitting a software piracy report at http://www.bsa.org
Our company also got ripped off by The Violent Squirrel. I had never ordered software online and was trying to get a good deal – based on the positive reviews I saw for him on NexTag and Merchant Circle, I thought he was legit. Will definitely do more research next time.
We reported him to the anti-piracy sites recommend by Adobe as well as Adobe itself. http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/antipiracy/prevention.html
Hopefully he will be put out of business if enough people report him after he rips them off!
To all who got ripped off, here is the link with the story of his arrest:

Dear Sir or Madam:
Thanks for the information about The Violent Squirrell. However, it was too late for me. I purchased a copy of Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate from them and found out it was counterfeit. Microsoft told me that it was not a valid copy of their software. It cost me $158.00.
The Windows 7 Ultimate came in a MS box, with MS logo on the two discs including a hologram of MS.
I am glad that you have been publishing information about this thief on your website. But, I wish I had known about it earlier.
