FALSE SCAM ALERT UPDATE! MArk Scott's Extortion Attempts Revealed; CASE CLOSED!

SCAM ALERT UPDATE MARK SCOTT THE SCAMM POSTER IS REVEALED. CASE CLOSED!

We watchfully monitor all the postings from this Mark Scott quietly observing, documenting and reporting.  It was a pleasure doing business with George Zouvelos the bail bondsman mentioned here in this fraudulent Scam Alert.  Only after successfully doing business with this bail bondsman and his family did he one day explain to us a story we had to see for ourselves regarding what has turned out to be just a vindictive, false and fictitious Scam Alert against him!  We reserved comment on this site only until we were able to verify the real story and here it goes:

As a lawyer, a writer, a community activist, and only after having an extensive conversation with the likes of Scott, law enforcement, court officials and the bail bondsman we were able to get the real scoop on what turned out to be an extortion Scam Alert complaint and perpetrated by a thug shyster Mark Scott who posted it. Its a shame we share the same last name.

The Scam Alert poster Mark Scott, after a lifetime of what many describe being a sinister and seedy activity, behavior and a litany of suspected criminal activity himself, his son Mark Scott, who actually turned out to be just like his father, but also a hating, racist, bully, defendant ends up getting locked up by the NY Police Department and later convicted and now serving a nice chunk of jail time.  So the judge, the jury and the police cannot be all wrong since the defendant pled guilty and is doing jail time as we speak.

The night of the alleged imposter bondsman scamming Mark Scott, we find Scott and his momma (defendants grandma) begging the bail bondsman to help Mark Scott Jr. who got arrested that night, and was being held in jail for hate crimes and attempted murder.

We and no one was ever able to confirm the facts Mark Scott alleges that he got scammed by an imposter posing as a bail bondsman and neither could any of the law enforcement agencies who investigated the fictitious claims made by Scott.   All involved found it and continuously find it extremely unbelievable that this career wanna-be street thug and street smart charlatan Scott allegedly forked over 5k in cash to an unknown man posing as a bail agent at 1am in Brooklyn Criminal Court Arraignments under the very nose of judges and cops.  Not so strangely the NYPD Detectives, Court Officers, NY State Attorney General, NY Insurance department investigations and court video surveillance reviewed never uncovered any such imposter crime in a State courthouse in downtown Brooklyn that night or even the presence of the bondsman the hours Scott alleges. Tats right Scott turned out to be a liar from the very beginning.

The fact of the matter is the bail bondsman Zouvelos only after receiving a call and finding out that Mark Scott was duped by an alleged imposter, being a father himself, out of the kindness of his heart and in the middle of the night schleps into the courthouse and extends unprecedented $250,000 worth of credit in order for Mark Scott to help his son accused of violent and horrific crimes get out of jail.  And the defendant did get out of jail only thanks to the bondsman putting up his very own $250,000.00. It doesnt make sense that a professional bondsmen putting up $250,000 would even consider needing or even committing such a despicable crime of cheating someone out of 5k and risk losing his license and business, as it was falsely alleged by Mark Scott.  If the bondsman is the one who originally scammed Scott why then would Scott fork over an additional $12000.00 in premium payments to the bail bondsman?

The questions by all reasonable persons remain, Why would anyone, especially matching the likes of Mark Scott of Brooklyn New York, fork over $5000.00 to any total stranger with no I.D.? or That night or even after why didnt Scott must make a police complaint more than 2 years ago and accuse the bondsman then? or  Why didnt Scott just go to another bail bondsman to help his son instead?  No, thats right none of this makes sense or is even plausible thats why all the investigations were closed because nothing Scott alleges now ever happened.

So what actually happened here, wellin kind repayment to the bondsman." (Sarcasm emphasized) and only after two years when the defendant Scott Jr. is sent upstate to do jail time; Mark Scott does not honor the original agreement made with the bondsman regarding the payment terms and making sure his son behaves while out on bail.  On another matter the judge ends up remanding the defendant for reasons we hear are he was a danger to society and the fact that the defendant did not honor his terms and conditions with the court regarding bail release when he got re arrested for weed while out on bail. This re jailing ordered by the judge of Scott Jr. had absolutely nothing to do with the bail bondsman simply because as a matter of law the bondsman could have returned the defendant to jail for clear violations of his bail agreement, but he chose not to. Zouvelos remained the better man and gave Scott another shot, but the judge disagreed and locked up Scott Jr.

In return for George Zouveloss kindness and consideration, Mark Scott threatens to kill the bondsman and his family, files false complaints with the state (later dismissed because they were false), sues the bondsman (and loses) and files false scam alerts in an effort to defame a lawful business owner (which have failed).

At the end of the day this is just a clear example of how Mark Scott the lifelong Scammer and poster of all these fictitious 'Scam Alerts', got scammed himself by an alleged imposter! Or Did he?  That is why Mark Scott has lost every attempt to hurt a good man who assists the public in their time of need while encountering what can be for many a grueling criminal justice system.   

In sum and substance we found that this imposter scheme was merely a lie thought-up by Mark Scott to garner him sympathy, credit terms and time to pay a bail bondsman in order to immediately garner his sons release from jail on bail.  The continued attempts are actual shake downs in order to get Zouvelos to fork over 5k as Mark Scott admits on tape in order to shut him up.  This is fraud, defamation and extortion and as Mark Scott sees from his Brooklyn tenement this will never work as he cries wolf over and over.  Regarding Zouvelos his alleged 18 felony case is over, a charge for a knife and broken shotgun in violation of the administrative code alone.  

The truth always comes out and again, thank you and it was a sincere pleasure meeting and doing business with you Mr. Zouvelos.

What A Bull Crap complaint and Scam Alert!

Give us a break, all the posts on the same day by the same person against this company and bondsman!  What a Scam!  The original posting and warning is such an obvious scam.  Bail bondsmen provide such a valuable service to the community and to defendants that they could not otherwise afford to get out of jail by paying full price for a bail


We have dealt with this bail bondsman George and his family.  Our lawyer advised us to use him, and we found it to be true that, he is possibly one of the most popular and widely respected bondsmen on the east coast, whether or not he has a criminal case or not. Sounds like bull to us.

We have nothing but wonderful things to say about him and his outfit. Whomever continues to post such stupid and fraudulent postings here is just an obvious and desperate loser who cant afford a real lawyer or lost a law suit etc..

This is such an obvious posting by someone who's loved one was sent back to jail by the by this bail bondsman for not doing the right thing and staying out of trouble.  Follow the rules and you have no trouble, don't follow them and back to jail you go.  Thats how its suppose to be.  Society has its rules and so does the court and the bail bondsman.

Fraudulent Ripp Off report Filing Case Update:

Fraudulent Ripp Off report Filing Case Update:

In a previous failed effort to embezzle money while defaming a lawful bondsman business owner, Mark Scott of Brooklyn New York filed FALSE Rip-off Reports, like this one, and other online postings.  The investigators have now captured video and audio recordings of Mark Scott that have now garnered him a lawsuit seeking Millions of dollars in punitive damages. 



The lawsuit now filed the legal team of George Zouvelos, the Bondsman, in New York Citys Kings County Supreme Court, seeking punitive damages.



Mark Scott previously sued the bondsman charging him with bizarre allegations in civil court and LOST.  Now Scott must face the music for defamation and other allegations.



If people like Mark Scott thought they can get away with filing inflammatory, derogatory, defaming and false allegations and postings; the lawsuit filed by the Bondsman should be a further warning to all that get reach quick schemes will not be tolerated.



Previously Mark Scotts son was incarcerated and sentenced for Hate Crimes in Brooklyn New York after he was found guilty by A New York State Supreme Court Judge.  Some of the crimes initially charged against Mark Scott Jr. were for violent hate crimes and attempted murder.



The incarcerated Scott Jr must have learned behavior from his father, the false Rip-off Report filing Mark Scott.  Scott Sr. was recently captured on tape on several occasions making death threats against the Bondsman and his staff.  This led to the New York City Police Departments ongoing investigation of Scotts continued criminal activities which include threats of violence to those he does not like or agree with.



The Bondsman will now have his day in court Mr. Mark Scott of Brooklyn New York and maybe people lie you will learn some manners, but not before the New York City Poice Department get their hands on you first.

Yes Really! Mark Scott is a Liar and Slanderer

Funny Robert it Sounds like you are one of the Ripp Off report vendors who reach out to the accused an offer the false services of rebuilding the perceived damaged reputations secondary from many false reports.


In this case the man Mark Scott is a convicted felon who's allegations are so ridiculous and false have warranted action against him that well set precedent for slander and defamation.

Technology to match ip's and similar posting by user are not necessary in proving a case against a slanderer.  However, the repeated posts, with the exact same language cut and paste to sites that have been cooperative with us has proven our case of identity at least in this case.

False allegations are a horrible thing one has to defend against and amounts to a crime punishable by the ultimate authority for "baring false witness"

Good luck to you and your business and to Mr. Mark Scott of Brooklyn NY the liar and slanderer.

" Keep ranting and raving your i.p. address has been recorded."

Sure it has-but not by you.  Stick to bail bonds and leave the computer networking stuff to others better equiped.  Somehow I seriously doubt that some bail bondsman has the technical savy to HACK in to the ROR server, find the proper message packet and get the poster's IP address.

You've just damaged your business reputation more than anything the author of this report has posted.  You've shown your "nature" and have actually added a bit of credibility to this posting.  You've shown your willingness to make threats when you don't like something.

Well done idiot.

If all the allegations are true you would have had justice done.  But you are bitter that your son was remanded to jail to do his many years in jail for hate crimes he allegedly commited.

Obviously you are a bitter liar raising a loser son modeled after you his loser lying father.  Your post has been sent to legal counsel for law suite and your false allegations will continue to get you into trouble.  Your not the man you think you are just a big mouth thug that bangs on his cage.  We are not scared of you Mark Scott, no one is.  Keep ranting and raving your i.p. address has been recorded.

Bye loser.
