And they include a MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, not some "distributor's

Legitimate sellers on the net like "hififorless.com" offer REAL

Except "Robert Benson" was ejected from TCInternet. Along with Ebay, where
they established another account and loaded it up with phony "praise".

Brian,

On 12/10/02, I spoke to Mr. Douglas's superior, the V.P. for Marketing at
Sennheiser.

The point about which Mr. Douglas apparently confused you is that there are
two authorized DISTRIBUTORS, who sell to everybody else on a nonexclusive
basis.

Mr. Douglas may have phrased his answer in a way that confused you into
thinking that the actual retail of Sennheiser audiophile headphones is
carried out by an authorized dealer system. This is not true. It is
Sennheiser's specific strategy to get their headphones into as many small
establishments as possible. ANYONE may purchase headphones for resale from
one of the two DISTRIBUTORS.

Sennheiser informs me that there never have been any counterfeited Chinese
audiophile headphones. The counterfeits are in the computer product line.

The owner of Earmax, H. Huschens, gives me permission to quote part of his
email to me. It read as follows:

"To the point: Sound Emporium is a bona fide dealership for the EarMax
products. They have been a very good one, too, which is rare these days."

You made a mistake, Brian. Now stop.

So false.
The above forgery was made by Brian L. McCarty, owner of the most widely
publicized Internet scam of all time: http://www.worldjazz.com.

We note that Brian has just paid for a professional website polish, and
reduced length of the text (i.e., the # of lies) in favor of snazzy
graphics.

It's still a scam, and we're doing our best to make sure you don't fall for
it.

If Santa disappointed you ...it's because

you invested $BUCKS$ in WorldJAZZ, the number one SCAM on the Internet:
Created,
Conceived,
and Maintained
by Brian L. McCarty, who resides at 65 Vasey Esplanade,
Trinity Beach, Cairns, Queensland, Australia.

From http://www.worldjazz.com.
My personal opinion at http://www.worldjazz.tv.

This pack of lies belongs to Brian L. McCarty, who resides at 65 Vasey
Esplanade, Trinity Beach, Cairns, Queensland, Australia.
The website is remarkable in that it does not contain a single truthful
statement.

From the website:


WORLDJAZZ NEWS
IPO ALLOCATIONS NOW UNDERWAY
(for a fraudulent enterprise, consisting of fictitious people, while the
real "owner" remains hidden)

(to keep Brian L. McCarty off the dole?)
MOSCOW CENTRAL TV: Jazz programming to be supplied by WorldJAZZ to Moscow
Central Television beginning 2004
(A complete lie. Moscow Central TV is informed about the scam.)

TOP FOUR U.S. CABLE TV COMPANIES: Negotiations for carriage rights
currently underway
(probably means Brian wrote them a letter in the name of one of his fake
frontmen)


EVENT SPONSORSHIP: WorldJAZZ has been named OFFICIAL CO-SPONSOR of the 2004
Jersey Jazz Bass Festival (second year running!)
(Nonexistent Event! Total Fabrication!)


Live broadcast planned September 22-25, 2004.
(of what, a blank screen?)


DR. KRISHNA MAHBREN Named as CEO of WorldJAZZ
(Dr. Krishna Mahbren is a nonexistent person)


JAZZ MUSIC LINKS COURTESY OF
(an irrelevant collection of links vastly inferior to what Google provides,
to give the impression Brian is actually providing a public service. NOT! )

The author of the above post under the name "OFFICIAL RAM BLUEBOOK
VALUATION" is actually Brian L. McCarty, a notorious scammer, whose
current website, http://www.worldjazz.com, is a farrago of lies, fictitious
front people, and nonexistent associations. Speculation as to why McCarty
viciously attacks individuals who at the worst, might have slight
irregularities in business registrations, revolves around his suddenly
leaving the United States in the late 1990's. One rumor has it that McCarty
was about to be charged with a *** crime, and that he avoided prosecution by
leaving. It is possible McCarty paid off the victim's family.

Once in Australia, McCarty founded Coral Seas Studios, which quickly became
financially insolvent. Perhaps the major backer, ABN Amro, already detected
anomalies in McCarty's personality. Following that business failure, which
became a minor issue in the reelection of P.M. John Howard, McCarty
concentrated on funding a second initiative, "WorldJAZZ", a scheme for
Internet broadcasting. But with his reputation damaged and cut off from
legitmate business activity, McCarty's predatory tendency came more to the
fore. His website became ever more devious in an attempt to lure investors.

In 2003, notices appeared in several online publications that McCarty was
producing jazz broadcast material for Gene Parrish
(http://www.worldwidejazz.com ) Notices appeared in a publication of the
Embassy of France, and in one other publication. Mr. Parrish is a noted NPR
jazz broadcast host. When contacted, it was apparent that Parrish had never
heard of McCarty. While I cannot prove that McCarty posted these bogus
notices, he certainly had the motive to do so.

Following the exposure of the false producing notices, McCarty's name
completely vanished from the Internet. He resorted entirely to false
identities to create business partners who do not exist. As of 1/14/03, a
quick glance at http://www.worldjazz.com, discloses the following:

1. Clicking on the banner "WorldJAZZ" produces an unresolved link to K1
Ventures, the largest venture capital company in Singapore. In discussion
with that company's secretary, she disavowed any connection between them and
McCarty, and was shocked at his implication that they were involved.

2. "Dr. Krishna Mahbren" is derived from a real person, Krishna Mahadoo,
V.P. of Beverly Hills Film Studios, a pink-sheet stock. McCarty cruises the
Internet for companies that don't answer the phone. McCarty made Mahadoo an
employee of that company's stock transfer agent, First American Stock
Transfer of Phoenix. When I pointed this out in a usenet post and notified
Mr. Mahdoo by mail, McCarty changed the company to "First American Stock of
Denver." Then he changed Mahadoo to Mahbren, and tacked on a "Dr." to the
phony name.

3. The claim that Moscow Central TV is to use material supplied by WorldJAZZ
is doubtful, as they were notified by mail. This claim has been made for the
better part of a year. When the date expires, McCarty simply creates a new
one.

4. "Event Sponsorship 2nd Year Running". This event does not exist. There is
no "Jersey Jazz Bass Festival." Previously, the website has exhibited a link
to the Island of Jersey in the English Channel. This locale has a surf
fishing festival, the Jersey Bass festival. There is no music festival. In
the past, association was advertised with "jazz musician" Peter Thliveros,
who is, in fact, a professional bass fisherman, not a musician.

5. The website is registered to "David Ellison", a fictitious person. In
the past, many different fictitious persons have been used, in conjunction
with yahoo mailboxes. Among McCarty's aliases, we have: Krishna Mahadoo,
Anthony Ramallo, David Ellison, David C.L. Feng, Ying Hong Huang, Lee
Hodges, Melinda Hsu, Melinda Shu, Robert Morein, Robert X Morein, Sylvan
Morein, Sylvan X Morein, et al.

6. The website morphs constantly. McCarty combs the Internet for identities
to steal. He chooses victims who do not represent themselves on the Web, and
are not easily reached by phone.

7. McCarty's other website, http://www.coralseastudios.com, has a similar
history. In the past, McCarty has actually used MY name as an endor*****t,
apparently as a taunt, even though it makes extremely bad business sense.
Fortunately, Coral Seas went belly up, although the website lives on as a
zombie.

The obvious question is, if McCarty is so anxious to scam, why does he make
a constant racket under easily detectable fictitious names? It appears that
part of McCarty's mental illness is a distortion of reality. McCarty has an
obsession with the formal aspects of registering a business. To him, the "in
print" appearance is all that counts. It doesn't occur that people can
detect the reality that lies beyond. To McCarty fictitious names and posting
aliases are a real shield, just like a cat will crawl into a shopping bag to
hide.

McCarty had an early scheme for Internet radio. He claims to have sold
musical performance properties and/or a business plan to Black Entertainment
Television for $9.2M. Subsequently, he left Los Angeles. One unsubstantiated
rumor is that he left to avoid prosecution for a *** crime, presumably by
paying off the victim or family. Once in Australia, he made the acquaintance
of the brother of P.M. John Howard, who introduced him to contacts at ABN
Amro, an investment banking firm. They created a business plan for some kind
of a sound studio, still represented by the website
http://www.coralseastudios.com. After approximately a year, ABN withdrew
from partnership, but left the studio project still solvent. Some time
later, it went bankrupt or nearly so, owing $270,000 to it's employees. At
this point, Australia's entitlement law kicked in, paying the employees
monies owed them, with the exception of codirectors McCarty and Jeff Wexler.

It would appear that McCarty's enterprises failed because he has some kind
of mental imbalance, which exhibits signs of both schizophrenia and
obsessive-compulsive disorder. The impersonations which he makes of me are
a fraction of the numerous identities which he has used in the past, and
continues to use, on occasion, in the present. McCarty may actually believe
he is the person who he impersonates. Many of the identities are of
elaborate construction, taking some six months or more to take shape.
McCarty seems to have a magical belief that use of false identities provides
a shield.

In Australia, McCarty lived, and may continue to reside, in a condo at 65
Vasey Esplanade, Trinty Beach,
Cairns, Queensland, Australia. I periodically check to determine if he
relocates.

But why would McCarty want to escape his own identity so badly? Speculation
centers around the possibility that he did something not socially acceptable
in Los Angeles County in the late 90', possibly a *** crime.

Yes, "Lee Hodges" is a well known McCarty alias.

The mystery remains, why is McCarty so determined to shoot himself in the
foot?
His scam, http://www.worldjazz.com, is very threatened by all the publicity.

Sound Emporium is a respected business against which there has never been a
complaint in this forum -- except by McCarty sockpuppets, of course.

continues to use, on occasion, in the present. McCarty may actually believe
he is the person who he impersonates. Many of the identities are of
elaborate construction, taking some six months or more to take shape.
McCarty seems to have a magical belief that use of false identities provides
a shield.

In Australia, McCarty lived, and may continue to reside, in a condo at 65
Vasey Esplanade, Trinty Beach,
Cairns, Queensland, Australia. I periodically check to determine if he
relocates.

But why would McCarty want to escape his own identity so badly? Speculation
centers around the possibility that he did something not socially acceptable
in Los Angeles County in the late 90', possibly a *** crime.

Are the likely culprits, although they are hiding behind layers of anonymous
email addresses.
Service? Nope. Support? Nope.

No phone number. No verifiable email address. Hiding behind sockpuppets
and anonymous email servers isn't the hallmark of a "quality" vendor.

A quality vendor like "hififorless.com" has verifiable phones and addresses,
has THAWTE secured ordering, and provides only FACTORY warranties.

The mark of a quality vendor!

"Consistently Low"? What a laugher. Others are far lower on Ebay and
elsewhere.

And they include a MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, not some "distributor's
warranty" that requires you send these suspect headphones back to China or
Germany.

Legitimate sellers on the net like "hififorless.com" offer REAL
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES because they are AUTHORISED DEALERS.

Except "Robert Benson" was ejected from TCInternet. Along with Ebay, where
they established another account and loaded it up with phony "praise".

The St. Paul city treasurer's office, can find no such business
registered in St. Pau! The only two words people know with "sound
emporium" is "certified scamsters"!!!
