Do Your Homework....

We live in a world where information is just a mouse click away. When it comes to online dating/networking/whatever googling a person can be a good and a bad thing. I would normally advise against it because then you find out too much information about a person before they have the chance to tell you the thrill of discovery and meeting that person is gone. However, its important to trust your gut and when it tells you that something might be shady about a person check them out. I got that feeling with this message and put my detective hat on and went to work.

Whenever someone gives me things like their facebook profile I check it out, mostly because I think its weird to just give it out so quickly. I started with this guy's imdb page. His whole producer gig seems to check out (although I'm not giving a bunch of legit Hollywood cred to someone who specializes in Van Damme and Segal movies)

Then things got a bit suspicious. The message boards on his page seemed a bit to lively for a 2-bit producer

All posted by the same person in a very short amount of time. Seems like this Kristina person is some sort of assistant or a relative paid to pimp out his shit movies. All the same info can be found on her blog for David Dadon Productions (don't click it- big waste of time). So far he seems like some guy trying to drum up business for himself. I decided to check out his Facebook next.

On his profile, he has 635 "friends" majority of who all seem to be very young females. CREEPY. He lays out the same lines about being a producer. His facebook profile as well as his Twitter are filled with these weird ads. His profile also suggests that he had a bad experience at Pita Pit and needed to describe that experience in association with every single Pita Pit in a 100 mile radius. Nothing really of interest besides the creep factor. Time for the Google search......turns out this guy is a creepy con man of sorts.

This guy has been accused of  trying to "wrongfully acquire public corporations, attempted to take investors' money, attempted to falsely accuse others, and has had his testimony rejected by the courts of this nation" (source). According to the same source, David Dadon and his son Jacob (equally as creepy) are involved in at least 20 lawsuits in three different states and Canada since 2001, his son has filed for bankruptcy, and varying social security numbers and aliases have been linked to David Dadon. The comments on the source article seem to even further confirm what a sleazeball this guy is

He also does online poker. I always find it ironic that the guys who try to steal money play poker. They can't get enough of the bluffs in the real world they must do it in card form. Anyways, there is a website set up that outlines all of Mr. Dadon's legal troubles. You can check it out here. It has more links, videos, documents and even a Power Point presentation!

Its hard to want to find friendship and honesty in other people when you are one giant fucking creep who tries to swindle people and raise your son to be exactly like you. Just let this message serve as a reminder that when you feel your instinct kick in that something is not right about a person and you have the info to do a search- do it! You may be surprised in what you find.
