This guy is still out there frauding people. I want to point out that his latest ads on craigslist.com (as of 4/13/09) reference : Empire212rentals.

Marc frauded us out of thousands of dollars - please steer clear of him, Abby Russo (his wife) and Sharelle Petty- their partner in crime.

I need to defend myself here. Hi. I am Abby Krenrich Russo. My soon to be ex husband used my name on our accounts and to sign emails. I had NO knowledge of the scamming my husband did through his "business". All i knew was that he had an apartment rental business, and needed to put things in my name, because of his 'debt'. I was naive enough to believe him. I am truly sorry for the scams he has caused to innocent people. My children and I have left him. I am destitute, living with a friend, trying to get a job but have been unsuccessful, and my name has been destroyed on the internet. I have no money and cannot help anyone whom he owes money to. This is just an attempt to clear my name, a bit. Please know that I had nothing to do with his scam. I have always been a law abiding, good person. I just fell for the wrong one.

i've been advised that i should give the information that i have on my ex husband. i can tell you that he actually resides at 179 essex street, apartment 1, ny ny 10002. he still uses all of the email addresses/phone numbers you have for him, he just ignores the calls and emails that he doesn't want to deal with. he claimed, in open court, that he was employed at The Bean, a coffee shop at the corner of 1st ave and either 3rd or 4th street. i will help anyone in any way that i can, under the stipulation that you leave me and my children out of it. we, too, are innocent victims, and the consequences of me being implicated in this would be dire.

i would like to know what happened to my apartment that he subletted from me last fall on 78 rivington street, saying it was for his wife and kids and never paid me rent and i had to surrender my lease and had to deal with my management company.
i had to ignore all the legal proceedings, my rental company tried to take me to court over this, but because i have no money there was nothing i could do
he owes me thousands of dollars. can't he go to jail for this?


abby, if you really want to help people, can you please leave me your contact information so i can talk to you more about this

Richard Tavai (Gooseberry6)... You and I both have proof that you got every dime of your deposit back (want another PayPal receipt?)...even after you caused problems in my apartment and caused me to have to hire someone to fix it. You cost me money, were nasty to deal with (in more ways than one, I have hired help that cleaned up after you)...and continued causing me problems even after you received your deposit back. I decided keeping part of it for my trouble and expense was not worth it.

The other people here were not my clients...I did check ins for several apartment owners, when needed, at one time. I do not do this any more, partially because I cannot be personally involved when I do not know the situation.

Hello SP10 - This is Richard Tavai (Gooseberry6). Very interesting that you have waited quite a substantial time before submitting a reply (maybe you were hoping that I would not return to read your entry to see the total rubbish that you have written). No we did not leave your apartment in a mess, no we did not cause any damage -why would you make these accusations months later. For everyone out there who has been conned - I would like to report that I did get most of my bond back - It is an interesting story - After weeks of waiting to get our money back I was MAD - Lucky for me I had a contact number for Sharelle - (My wife who made the initial entry listed the number above). I rang this number a couple of hundred times every day - I was working nights so I would ring 1am 20 times 2am 20 times etc ringing and ringing until obviously Sharelle would get sick of me and turn the mobile off (a couple of times I got an answer but she would hang up on me) - I would also leave long silent messages. I did this for over 2 weeks (yes 2 weeks - yes I'm a bit crazy but I wanted some payback). Obviously this number was important and could not be cancelled - after over 2 weeks a call was answered "Hello Sharelle this is Richard and I would like my money back please" answer - "If you looked at your F*&#$% email you would see that I have just sent it" me - "Thank you". LOL LOL JOY JOY JOY - never felt so good before, after being cursed like that. Go to paypal account - hmm why is not my full deposit there - I see - they have deducted amounts so I pay for both paypal trasaction costs - ohh well. This has become a bit of a story now that we tell friends for a good laugh. I hope most people will see this and other entries on the internet and stay away - for those that get scammed maybe this entry will help you - or at least rasie your spirits. I still find it hard to fathom why some people resort to these tactics to make money. It has been a big lesson for us and intially scared us off from booking private apartments - but we are back on track and have dealt with some very nice and professional people. Yes there are some good eggs out there :).

Richard...I did not see your comment for months, I do not hang out on these websites.

I had a plumber tell me that you caused much of the problem...he even had to explain to you that you could not over stuff the toilet like that. I was told that you even complained about American toilets. I paid to have it fixed and for the clean up.

Your wife called me every few minutes and interupted me finding a plumber...several times, I finally had to tell her to please stop. I had to call about 20 or so people to find someone that could just stop right then and help. Getting a plumber for a small job with no notice is not easy.

As you know...I was away when you were screaming about your deposit. I did return it when I came back, and you still complained.
Nothing personal...but you were not so easy to deal with.

SP10 - Who I'm guessing is Sharelle. Your story telling is amazing. I will have to ask my wife sometime how she managed to do all you mention when she did not come to NY. Also I think I can assure you that after 8 years of living in America we are well aware of what an American Bathroom looks like - in fact - oh my gosh - the toilets are just like the ones from home. Not only do you need to operate an honest business but you also need to get your facts right. Obviously you get so many complaints - you don't even know who complained about what.
