So its a real thing...

Something about his kid being sick and donating some of my collection to help for research.


This group added me to facebook. Then sent me a message.

Indeed. He's been blocked.
But he had the time to chat me up on facebook.
He asked that i donate some of my stuff for research. Yeah , no. hahaha.

Don't get me wrong , everyone that knows me knows that i'm the guy with the biggest heart.

But this has skeeeeeeeeeeeeeetchy written all over it.

Research my ass lol. He should have researched a better back story.. I would have picked seven pounds lmao.

Donating is all good and fine, I've been a situation myself where charity went a long way so I'm always more then happy to donate and return my good fortune. But scammers can go off.

quite strange history !!!!

Very! Im sorry if i disturbed you on facebook there. Didnt mean to.
I accepted his invite simply because i saw Motorbot was in his friendslist too.

you can always block him on facebook too.

From what I've read, Mattia's story checks out. It made headlines on various toy blogs this past summer. The family is from Naples and they've teamed up with Zerostigmata to try to fundraise for Sandhoff research.

Neo, I don't think they were going after your personal collection, but were maybe under the impression that you are an artist who may be willing to donate.

I don't know them personally, but I haven't read any whistleblowers yet so here's hoping they aren't another AAB.

Oh thanks for clearing that up VG.

I found it a little strange at first because i saw that he had Motorbot in the friends. Then he started asking me to donate my stuff. I am clearly not an artist , just a gamer.
To be honest i found it a little intrusive of him adding me and then requesting that i donate my stuff.

Anyway , i wish him the best of luck. I am not in a situation that i can just give stuff away. But i do what i can within my community.

Thanks again VG. <3

I just got hit up by them on FB too. Kind of odd they're just shooting off requests without researching whom they are contacting. The "we love your art", when I haven't released anything aside from a myspace page ages ago kind of raises a flag. Don't really have an opinion. Just leaving it be for now. I down to help, but it's just off.

LOOK, your methods are VERY questionable. I'm glad you get support, but the way you've approached me and others is just wrong. Seriously, I've told you VARIOUS times I'm a musician, but you insist on saying "I love your art" as if I was a painter ....HEY I DONT MAKE ANY FUCKING ART! GET IT??@!@?@@ Only reason I bitch was because of your CONSTANT hounding on facebook. I was courteous in the initial contact but then you became a nuance every time I signed in. Had to "un-friend" to put an end to it. I'm not some heartless bastard, and if I could contribute to something worthwhile I would be first in line. With all that said, I hope your organization does help unfortunate diseased children around the world. We live in dark times, all will be questioned about their methods.

ok but why been so rude....i understanhd after 3 times u told me ...but ...dnt say words like this ..

yeah man, sorry if I came out to abrasive . best of luck.

I have three things to say:

1. Good luck for you and your son, I wish you both the very best now and for the future.
2. You have the longest name of anyone on this forum, which is awesome
3. Grammar. Your son will thank you.

That is all.

thank you wacko and mr mendez....
that is what we need ...if some one cant donate a work
