La Renaissance

The living in Cebu forums undergo a major lifting. Yeah? What does it consist of? I havent heard or read anything on CNN, FOX news, MSNBC, NY TIMES, WASHINGTON POST and the like. But I did hear from the horse's mouth some interesting news: OzTony, the Salty Dog and Member#1 are the new commanders in chief of the LICF. 

Let's greet them. 

Fellow forumers, American patriots, members of the LICF La renaissance is now for real! 

Et Alors? So? Now what? The fat lady is singing again? Hummmm I'm afraid not. Are the workers happy and grateful? Some are but most not. Did things really change? Some say enough to be the same. And maybe worse in the near future. What I'm thinking? 

Well, lets get started: 

Back in the middle of last year - 2017- rumors within the "elite"  of the membership indicated that the sale of the forum by Paul Petrea to an undisclosed buyer is now a  done deal. Paul confirmed this later, but no word to whom the buyer might be. Oh well, this is usual in the big business transactions, parties involved should observe the rules of discretion and limited disclosure. 

Take a look what Paul said (You may need to clock on)

I sold the Living in Cebu Forum website, back in March, 2017. The current owner took over at that time, with me continuing to run the site, per his request. I continued administrative duties until the first of January. La Renaissance 

 However, there now seems to be some misinformation going around regarding the sale, and other information. I will make a post to clear that misinformation up, by the first week of March.

 EDIT: We are focusing our time and energy on the farm, located in rural Battambang Province, Cambodia. 

Edited by Paul, 29 January 2018 - 04:21 AM.

Speculation began as soon as this happened, however, not many had access to the information as to who the new owner might be; all indications were pointed to OzTony an Aussie member of the forum. Personally, I wasn't convinced further than the fact he just played a roll on the transaction, I think I was right, even righter if I tell you that he's now one of the pillars mentioned above but not the owner. 

Let's introduce him as such.

Tony Williams "aka" oztony La Renaissance 

Tony Williams "aka" oztony La Renaissance 

Together with Salty Dog He's in charge of distributing banning and warnings. 
To whom? To anyone who has the audacity to go against the culture  he's a nostalgic of, he will zealously continue "the reformes" undertaken recently, completely chasing the infidels, Trolls, liberals, talking too much guys and anyone who doesn't comply. 

Tony has changed the way of cleaning up things. Gone are  Paul's days where the banning was crud, brutal, accompanied with "look at me how tuff I am" kind of statements. Tony will just hide your post if he doesn't like it, you'll not even now it. Another clever way, is tempering with your login password. He will delete it, prompt you to go through the process of getting a new one, but, this will never succeed. That means, you're not banned but you can't post. 
As far as I'm concerned I've never had to go through such effort to be banned! Finally done !
We dont know what Tony has accomplished in his life. if any. Certainly not much, that's why he takes his title of "Global Moderator"so seriously, he can't live without.

After he and SaltyDog gave a humiliating run around to Tullioz thread about Drew Shoobrook and not before erasing some sins of the past on the subject   and after I hinted to revisit this old topic he approved the thread on another place, as a new one, not linked to the old one, because on the old one we'll read this: 

Let's post it once again.

Tony Williams "aka" oztony La Renaissance 

That was back in 2013. Then, the thread was deleted/hidden just last week, then, he approved Tullioz thread. Tony participated with this: (please click on to enlarge it for better reading)

Questions to you Tony: Where were you when Paul Petrea was putting all his power and effort in flying to the help of this trash? 

Where were you when this pedophile Williams Becket "aka" skywalker was bragging his pedophelia exploits in the DK? Have you ever posted the slightest opposition on his membership status? 

Reader, I want you now to take a look on the screenshot below. It comes from OzTony's FB.

Tony Williams "aka" oztony La Renaissance 

Ken Thurston 'aka" Contraman. Tony's favorite buddy. The nastiest criminal, dirty soul for me.

Here is an excerpt of the link mentioned above:

Sickpat-Sexpat Tony Williams AKA OzTony

Another question for you: Below is a picture of the first thing visitors see on your FB timeline, 

Tony Williams "aka" oztony La Renaissance 

Of course Ken Thurston like that. 

But Tullioz, a member of this forum who belongs to the other alley of this board, is a compassionate expat, a writer treating the minorities, like the Muslims and the Bajaos, with respect and dignity. Not all Muslims are ISIS soldiers, not all Bajaos are living of begging, I'd say a small minority, 

Tuillioz irritated quite a few bigots in this forum and you decided to get rid of him in the most unethical and disgusting way; Discredit his good faith and principles. This is a criminal offense, defamation at its finest, 

And youTony Williams an accessory. (If not the instigator) 

Good people, decent expat, the Living In Cebu Forums is not the place to be if you live your life in the PH abiding by the rules and with respect and tolerance to locals, even with their flaws. You're at risk. 

More coming soon. Keep en eye....

To which  Filipinos reply 

Where is Paul Petrea?

Where is Paul Petrea? He missed his hey days in his forum when he was free to pollute it with  trash, outrage and provocation. Be it his drinking escapades, his exploits with minors, slapping and humiliating Vivian publicly to show his ferocity to the members of his forum sending the message "I'm the boss here". All gone! He now tries FaceBook to spread out "the image", that image he absolutely needs to survive in the low life community, be considered and trusted as one of them. can't live without but not much of success. Now he's awaiting the next opportunity to comeback "home" The Philippines that is.  

There isn't a single day without receiving a mail from known and unknown readers asking me Where is Paul Petrea? 

It's true I decided to go to Disneyland instead of spending time on this scumbag. Besides, I thought it was like beating a dead horse but some friends thinking otherwise, they sent me some "new" stories and asked me to let the world know that Paul is well alive and kicking, still living in Cambodia. Where is Paul Petrea?

Where is Paul Petrea?

Let's take it where we left it:

When we thought Paul's living in Cebu forums up to march of last year was in the intensive care awaiting its final days due to luck of sexpats willing to be exposed, fearing "the stalker" may strike again, Steven Matrix came out of the blue and revived it with a nicely orchestrated scam. 

In few simple words, it happened like this: 

Steven Matrix, a previous resident in Cebu now living in Monmouth - Oregon wanted to visit Cebu PH for 3 months and needed someone to take care of his house and feed his chicken and goats while away. Where is Paul Petrea?

He offered Paul Petrea to do just this, paid his ticket from Cambodia to Oregon, Steven came to Cebu becoming a temporary resident again but also the star of the living in Cebu forum, spending more time on his computer than for the purpose he came over. 

There was also an obscure deal on the table for Steven to buy the forum from Paul, deal gone sour, probably he realized it was worth a bit more than a penny, but made Paul believe all the way to the end that he will follow through, realizing afterwords it wasn't a good idea to leave this thieve alone in his house while away. Where is Paul Petrea?

In the mean time, Steven helped Paul how to make some money from this forum provided the money he stole from investors from the previous scam
(Plenty to read) was all gone and not a new one as juicy was visible in the horizon, contended himself on a smaller one. 

I'll let you read the rest of the story by clicking on the link below so I can move on with the news.

Back to the subject:  what's the news? Where is Paul Petrea?

 Dear Reader I have something to tell you. The real news is Paul is at best the same he always was, a drunkard, same sources of living, (scamming, barfine girls provider to the bar owners, hunting for needy girls to beat them up and more. 

Today and in the days to come we'll talk about a couple of scams taking place in the LICF right now. The protagonists of the ongoing operation are the following members: (Besides Paul Petrea of course) Very few know their name and whence came from. No mention in their profile no mention if they are living in the Philippines. 

Here is the first. A Triple diamond member-member Meaning contributed to Paul Petrea's survival . 
Where is Paul Petrea?

 

Where is Paul Patrea? Where the money is. No folks!don't buy it. Not many has. Click to see the thread . No one believe it. Because the more you read the more you doubt. You give 230 US Dollars to a paypal account managed by a guy you don't even know his name in exchange of a picture of a box that it may or may not arrive to intended destination. This same guy attacked a member who asked for clarifications on the donations. 3 others joined him and hammered the guy that ended on his banning.

First, the banned member warned them that the link to paypal, all it had was an email address and here is.

Where is Paul Petrea?

 The name wasn't there. It was added later. Then, Paul Petrea reply, "That's how we send money through paypal" Yeah right babe... By the way, whos Gregory?
Then, a web site came up. Here is: The screenshot below has been now deleted. I'll explain. 

When clicking on the link on the very bottom "contact Janice or Fred" you were getting this. ( Not anymore. As soon as the member signaled it they repaired the glitch but at the same time he, "bigmook" aka Gregory Conaway(?), insulted badly the guy for the warning. Which guy? The guy who was banned and now he's preparing his own blog on the subject. 

Where is Paul Petrea?

Here is "bigmooks" aka Gregory Conway living in Cebu forums profile. (Click on the image to enlarge it)

He fits better the profile of a con artist than a philanthropist. When you're soliciting funds from the public to finance a charity, you need to provide that same public with your first and last name to say the least. 

You need to provide the public with credible evidence on your integrity, motivations, past verifiable credentials on similar work done, something impossible to produce when you're operating out of a forum with history of scams and deceits. Where is Paul Petrea?

You need also not to insult or banning the members asking explanation on your way of operating, especially covering up your cohorts (about to be named shortly) on laughable statements about the disbursement of the monies collected. 

Where is Paul Petrea?

Sincerely yours, Evan Iliadis, former resident of the Philippines, now living in cote d'azur France, author of several blogs in 4 languages, including English, French, Greek and Spanish. May I know more about you Mr. "bigmouth"? your background, whence came you and what you're here to do? 

 

Here is the second: (Click on the image to enlarge it) 

He's the charity, disasters, expats health insurance scams of the kind déjà vu, that is expats health insurance that a few years ago another ambitious member tried the same not only within the LICF but spread it to other forums where he found me on his way. Mark Hamilton is now banned from this forum. Not because of the suspected scam, it never happens; It was because he disagreed with Paul on other matters. The Tsar of Georgia, Paul! Le me have that big f...ng Greek laugh of my life lol!

Anyways, The guy is presenting himself under the first name Fred, one of the older advertisers on the forum as buyer and repairman of watches. Contrary to his partner above he states his lieu of residence.

He has tried time and again to setup "philanthropic" actions but none went through. In one of these projects he wanted to name Paul Petrea the guardian of the funds. Lets read it again

greetings all,
as i mentioned in another thread a day or two ago, a LINC fund drive will be initiated so here we go! along with our LINC Members’ Emergency Fund pinned in this section it’s time we had a nice gentle push to all our fellow members to contribute any amount they can spare to build up the reserves of this site. 

As everyone knows and i along with quite a few others have seen personally with our own eyes, paul uses the funds to cover site costs and donates any excess to Philippine charities. with the terrible typhoon aftermath and huge relief going on it may take years to get a  handle on the devastation and restore the afflicted to at least the minimum subsistence level.  

providing some relief towards that new calamity along with keeping up with the usual children’s charities paul donates to could chew up alot of cash. since our established LINC Members Emergency Fund has been privately funded by myself and a hand full of fellow members, we have not needed to accept donations altho we are very grateful to those many members who offered. 

i ask those who have offered along with everyone else to now donate to LINC itself by clicking the donate button on the forum page, or thru methods listed in the forum advertising pricing page. i’m a roll up my sleeves blue collar type working man and not the best with computers so if anyone can include a link to the donate button for this thread along with a link to the advertising payment methods so people can see how to donate it would be appreciated. 

if anyone based in cebu city wishes to donate and doesn’t have paypal or the time to go to a western union or other payment methods then simply contact me via PM. myself and my wife along with our work crew are always on call for our biz and can easily meet up, accept your donation along with giving you a receipt, and we will forward it to paul.
i hope we all can pitch in to support this forum along with the people in need it supports!
