The World's Stupidest Con Man

This guy Will Farley (aka Bill Farley, aka Will Skrivseth) contacted me about a film he is working on with great talent and David O. Russell directing. The email he sent me last night seemed fishy when he signed it Bill instead of Will. That being said he was asking for smalls for an actor who is clearly a large/xl. Also there is no info on IMDB about the film. In the past he has asked for product from both me and my clients repeatedly for his "indie film" he is shooting in MN. We always blew him off. Seems he has a new phone number and name but not email. You can't pull one over on me.

The gall of this guy to contact me again and say he is from Lionsgate and drop a bunch of names to try and get 8 free t-shirts (next time just email me and tell me you love the brand and would like a few free tees...much easier). I found him out and am now going to royally fuck him over. Not only do I have great contacts with the Feds, but I have the international community at my fingertips...

I am going to get this mofo on the phone next week and play along. I have his home address and phone number and once I get him to admit he is a fraud, I am going to report him and publish his information on every product placement blog, celebriry blog, my blog that I can come up with...I am going to reiterate...do not fuck with me and my friends son...

Below are some of the emails I got from him (why would Lionsgate hire someone who can't spell?)...Can't wait to tear this mutherfucker a new one...

EMAIL 1 (From last year)

Matt, this is Will Skrivseth I just spoke to you on the phone in regards to our film Dead End Streets. I appreciate your assistance hear, and I am excited to get this rolling. So the character we are looking at outfitting (our drug dealer in the film), is 5'7 135 pds. We wanted to do two differnent scenes with wardrobe change hear. Our first scene is a casino scene. Think High Rolling, but trippin balls at the same time. Our Second scene would be the bar scenes, he is going trigger happy taking care of business with those who have done him wrong. I was thinking:
1) To Live & Die In LA Blazer [TLFI_31] (small) 2)OC Alarm Clock Green (Cocaine Breakfast)[TLFI_11] (Small) 3)Love Was Killed Polo Baby Blue[TLFI_33] (small) 4)Tracy (PAL)TLFI_13] (small)
These are what we are looking at. I simply love the Live & Die in LA Blazer, and think that will be PERFECT for his killing rampage. So tell me what you think. Our mailing address:
Att: Will Skrivseth

If you could drop me a line right away and let me know if this is doable, it would save my some stress. Thanks for all of the help here.

EMAIL 2 (to me and multiple clients multiple times, after we blew him off the first time)

Hello, my name is Will Skrivseth and I am writing in regards to a product placement inquiry for True Love & False Idols. I am involved in a independant film based out of Minneapolis Minnesota called Dead End Streets. I am outfitting wardrobe for the film, and wanted to see if True Love & False Idols would be interested in potential involvement. We can offer compensation in several different forms of promotion,besides available tax write offs.We are working with a budget right now of $62,000.00. We are attempting to find several creative outlets for wardrobe and were hoping you
would possibly be interested. If someone could drop me a line that would
be great.

EMAIL 3 (From Last Night)

Matt, my name is Bill Farley and I am writing in regards to a product placement inquiry for True Love & False Idols. I am a wardrobe rep. for a film called Burns Out Bright. I am outfitting wardrobe for the film, and wanted to see if True Love & False Idols would be interested in potential involvement. We can offer compensation in several different forms of promotion,besides available tax write offs. You would be looking at all merch on loan. We are looking at outfitting actor Justin Chatwin(War Of The Worlds, The Invisible,). We are attempting to find several creative outlets for wardrobe and were hoping you would possibly be interested. I can a treatment/synopsis your direction right away.

Matt, thanks for getting back to me. We think True Love & False Idols would be a strong fit it the film. Here is a brief treatment. Burns Out Bright is a dark and gritty film, taking place in the midwest. The Premise of the film is about a young adult who ventures into the world of the super natural. After an accident, (actor Justin Chatwin) crawls into realm of being able to read his peers minds. What he finds leeds him into a crime drama like no other. A power struggle of how to deal with a newly discovered power, and right and wrong. This gentlemen finds himself head over heels in a world of crime, gambling,with nowhere to turn. As for where in the film True Love & False Idols would be used, we where thinking in around 17-19 scenes. The role of the criminal (who is in enlisted to help) is a charismatic, cocky swagger.We were thinking True Love & False Idols would be perfect. When we speak about the aspect of promotion we have several different ideas. We are going to be shooting in several clubs and bars in the Chicago area. So if we could get some posters, and/or a other type of display for True Love & False Idols I can assure you that advertisement. Along with Credits in the film for contributions. This movie is prompted for a May 2008 release date hopefully. We are going to be starting filming in June. The director & producer of the film is David O. Russell (Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees,Flirting with Disaster), and an amazing cast has been put together through the actors guild of greater midwest, and Northern California. Most notable Justin Chatwin(The Invisible, Chumscrubber), Matthew Fox (Lost,) and Jena Malone (Saved, Donnie Darko) The film has domestic & internation distro through Lionsgate. Their are the obvious available tax write offs with this, not to mention the on camera promotion. We are looking for all merch on loan, with a 50-60 day hold. We are willing to purchase the merch only if it doesn't return in the condition sent. We had one character in particular we wanted to outfit with True Love & False Idols. We were thinking in the realm of 5-7 different pieces (no duplicates).The pieces and/or styles we were interedted in were:

1)Men's Purple Reign S/S Tee (Small)
2)Men's V-Neck S/S Tee - Lt. Grey (Small)
3)Men's Rounders S/S T-Shirt - Ivory (Small)
4)Men's Wave of Mutilation Zip Hoody (Small)
5)Men's Hell Hath Pullover Hoody (Small)
6)Men's Young Turks Tee - Cancun (Small)
7)Men's Badhanded V-Neck Tee (Small)


If I can answer any more questions, please let me know.
Thanks
