Hear you loud and clear jj.......apologies for the vented post.
I guess a lot of us who were targeted by these people in the past regarding the 900# scam, and want to see closure on the matter.
The patronizing recent posts from our "friends" in Canada are only adding fuel to the fire. Most likely with intent!
Should there be consideration to banning this kind of rhetoric from the forum?

Has anyone stopped to think, maybe some of his students are posting this stuff?

This so called firm have nothing better to do then keep logging on to this site trying to defend their illegitimate office. I value this site as I too was "almost" a victim of their scam back in February. Upon calling their bluff, I have not heard from them to this day, which of course is no surprise. They couldn't get anywhere with me so they moved on to their next target. Whether it be Mr. David and collegues or Mr. Kuperstein's students (Lord only knows why anyone would want to follow in his foot steps to begin with) posting on this forum, you can always tell if you read very carefully between the lines, especially the ones that read like they are defending this boggus office, who really is behind typing the postings, the illegitimate con artists themselves. Like I have said before, they are they only ones on this forum who defend this topic everyone is against. It would be nice if they just faded off into their imaginary world of fraud but unfortunately they know no better and keep slumming around. Such a shame that they choose to exist that way really.

The negativity is getting to everyone, I think. I vote we consider this matter closed until more FACTUAL information comes around. (other news articles, important information)Arguing isn't going to help anything.

The thread has some useful info, that some people should have access to....maybe just delete the posts with no important/purposeful info.

I went to the Law Society of Upper Canada's website. On there, you can request the the practice history of a member. I requested Mr. Kupferstein's info and received this reply:

I can tell you that complaints are confidential between the complainant, the member and the Law Society.

However I have forwarded your request regarding Paul Kupferstein's discipline history to the Discipline department for their response. You can reach them by calling 416-947-3315.

Sincerely,
Lisa Murphy

When I hear something, you will hear something.

You must be somewhat disappointed.

Basically....the 900# scam was busted!!!

Posted: Wed Apr 26, 2006 7:40 am Subject:

Who's disappointed? Considering he has just started running the scam, and when I filed a complaint I was told there was already this hearing in place, I think it's just fine.

Fact is, he has to answer to his tactics, and it will not go well for the man.

Jeff, thank you for providing some substance and information about this issue.

David called my work, home and mobile and left me a message for me to call him back, his message didn't sound like a Lawyer would speak like that, he left a client number and said i need to contact him within 24hrs and that there was an investigation done. he left the number 905-474-3535 and I thought that is an odd way to leave a message for someone that is suppose to be a lawyer, never mind the message, but why would he contact me, why not send me a legal letter of some sort. I decided to investigate and I came across this information on the net, I've called the Upper Canada Society and I will call RCMP. How the hell did he get my number and who the hell is he???

He got your name and number because the firm that he works for represents a company that you may be indebted to. Why would you not call him back to see what the call was regarding?

em · Posted: Thu Apr 27, 2006 11:07 am Subject:

He got your number from a file that was forwarded to Mr. Paul Kupferstein's office from a company that you may be indebted to. He is not a lawyer, nor does he claim to be. He indicates that he is calling 'from' the Law Office of Mr. Paul Kupferstein.
I would recommend you call him back and see what the call was regarding, and if indeed it is related to an unpaid balance you should arrange payment.

Mr. David works for the firm that contacted you. Contact the office and find out what he was calling about. You may have an outstanding debt that you've overlooked.
