I just want to get straight to the point, Everything the guy says in this complaint is what happened to me also (but worse).
Josh Bredehoft is NOT a celebrity. Last time I checked, he had NOT ONE video on youtube (Strange, as he claimed to have been on a TV show).
But celebrities DO advertise on Craigslist. I have previously and currently work for a celebrities who advertise anonymously on craigslist. They have computers just like you. But Josh doesn't seem to pay people and he does not fit in the celebrity category.
To the people who post pro-Josh Bredehoft entries here, I hope you go to jail like he does. It's very possible that all of us will create a facebook group that has more of us, than he has fans.
Here is the ad as it ran on January 14, 2009. Please flag it if you see it on other sites, so others won't have to go through what we went through...And someone please tell SAG:
