Lovehound2000@AOL AKA beachsteve from roommate site Bad guy! Watch out! Ladies, beware! abused & mistreated LosAngelas, Santa Monica, Venis Beach California
I met Steve, aka lovehound2000 aka "beachsteve" at a roommate finding site. We matched and began conversing via email.
Almost immediately, he asked me for my phone number. I was hesitant because I didn't know him from any other stranger in the world.
I began asking him some questions and he proceeded to tell me that these questions were too much for his time that I should just give him my phone number. I politely thanked him for his time and declined the phone conversation.
He wrote me back with the following:
"can you say C**T.....thanks for the warning wrank HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I just want to warn anyone who may be looking for a roommate in the areas he's listed in CA. He's not someone anyone should consider roomming with. I'm just glad he revealed himself so that I can warn others.

Hi Guys -
There is a porn site that occasionally shows up in my in-box (I keep trying to block it - unsuccessfully). The site promotes "amatuer sex by horny women at L.A. beach house." It goes on to say "the women don't pay rent...but they do have to f* - or something like that.
I'm think that you ladies may have encountered one of this website's "recruiting drives." I'm glad you were careful. Just moved to Minneapolis from Marina Del Rey, CA - and I know there are a lot of scummy people lurking in that area.
Peace,
Correction!

For some reason, some of the information didn't appear after I hit submit. I will submit what is missing above. It's only two empty brackets that look like this:
Here is what it should have read:
>
Also, I said above that nothing had been taken away from the emails, I failed to include this in order to make that true:
At the end of our second email(the one with the list of information from the roommate site) I asked, "BTW, are you a body builder?"
Our emails and the latest one from today:

The following is a succession of emails between me and Steve: He is looking for a female roommate in the Venice/Santa Monica area:
NOTE: Mind you, I was polite to him and he reacted very hostile and irate toward me. I don't normally "report" people for anything, but this guy is particularly scary and should be avoided. And these emails are copied and pasted here exactly as they were written and received. Nothing has been in anyway altered, not even the cusswords. Though, the Rip Off Report will probably censor the cusswords.

Steve replied with:

So, I replied with this:
No thanks. If you can't provide me with what I ask before I even know if I want to talk to you on the phone, then just forget about it. Thanks for your time.
So Steve sheds his true colors by saying:
>
My response to that:
Wow, am I glad to find out what kind of person you are! I would've been doomed to misery to be around you! No wonder you're still single!
Steve's response to that:
>
My response to that:
I just can't help but wonder why such hostile responses?
I reported you BTW. Your name and pictures with a warning to anyone looking for a roommate in your area to stay away from you, because you are incredibly inappropriate and scary.
Steve's response to that:
>
And finally, my response to that:
I can't understand how I, with what little communication we've had could provoke such strong anger out of you for you to be saying these things. I'm sorry you feel this way, Steve.
However, your assesment on my looks means very little to me. You really have no way of knowing if I'm lazy or if I'm looking to take advantage of anyone.
I, however am able to clearly see that you are very hostile and angry. I don't know why, and I don't claim to. I politely declined a telephone conversation with you and you called me a "c**t."
I hope you can care enough about yourself to work on your character. Everyone can stand to work on character, right? Like, I am right now as I respond to you. I could retaliate with a nasty word or make a comment on your looks, but I won't.
I have decided to warn others about you because I find you explosive and irate. That, to me spells danger. I hope you don't become so defensive that you can't possibly look at your behavior and consider that you might need to tone it down a bit and try to be a good person that you surely can be.
Have a good life and continue to grow mentally, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually and otherwise.
End emails
No response to this last email as of yet.
The reason it's important to share this is because he strikes me as a potentially dangerous person. He's looking for a female roommate, and that concerns me. If someone is unwilling to disclose information to you over email before you decide if you even WANT to talk with them over the phone, then thank them politely and walk away. There are ALL KINDS of people on the Internet as we all should know. Be careful!
