    I saw the same. I wonder if it's him, or a friend who's in on it and it's to make it look more legit.

    Picture is really too small, but from what I can tell doesn't look like him or his wife. Could be a fake pic. Or like EatsleepTacos said.

    What can be done to stop this scammer?
    AG? Local cops? Who?

    "I am Michael Bitler, a successful E-Commerce seller..."

    Yeah. harhar!

    Wondering if it is the same guy. :rolleyes:

    I would think it's him, no one in their right mind donates $800 then $500 respectively to some random.

    $80? Sure. $800? Nah.

    There is a facebook page that has his name attached to it for PR fundraising. I can't open it from my work computer.

    To his credit, when I saw him at one of the Expos he was helping somebody, don't know whether he charged them or not. But in person seemed like a good dude. It's unfortunate all the BS went down tho, hate when people get ripped off. He seemed pretty knowledgeable and had some good well put together threads too.

    I think there are two different Michael Bitlers.
    One in "FL" (the douche) and one in PR.

    What haven’t I changed?
    I have an older Lowe Alpine Contour III backpack that I needs to go if you're interested. I can toss it in my snorkel box if you want some bonus #EAF points as well.

    The first time I went backpacking, I borrowed my buddy's external frame Kelty pack. Stuff does get expensive for sure, especially once you become interested in shedding ounces of weight from equipment.

    He knew his shit and helped a lot of people out a lot of times!

    Unfortunately the case with a lot of scam artists, social parasites and other pieces of shit among us.
