JASON ZENGA - Refresher Course on a Scammer, by met on May 27, 2021 7:28:59 GMT 1,
Recent multiple sale posts from a new account reminded me* it's been some time since we last heard from the lowlife thief and fraudster, Jason Zenga.
There was a depressing predictability with which he would always reappear, like a turd refusing to be flushed. It made me wonder how long our current grace period will last for, and whether we might be living on borrowed time.
Given the substantial number of people Zenga managed to defraud in the past, including on this forum, a fresh thread may be helpful in discouraging complacency within our ranks.
What follows is for the benefit of anyone needing a refresher.

12. Traits and modus operandi of Zenga (typical of many long-term fraudsters)
(i) displaying superficial charm and faux sincerity; reasonably articulate and highly manipulative; compulsive liar; quite capable of coming across as legitimate by association โ by giving the false appearance of having close ties with well-known artists and reputable professionals; willing to share his knowledge of contemporary art and the art market in order to gain trust; displaying relative calm when challenged in written communications;
(ii) using multiple aliases and an assortment of email, forum, or eBay (and probably social media) accounts when selling and scamming โ even pretending at times to be female;
(iii) not averse to relying on fabricated stories that involve sick children and charity to lower people's guards and defraud them more effectively;
(iv) carrying out a few legitimate transactions to build a reputation and establish goodwill, before reverting back to conning people โ including by selling counterfeits, selling the same pieces more than once to different buyers, not actually sending to buyers the artwork they paid for;
(v) at times being cagey about revealing where he's actually located or specific details of his past;
(vi) claiming he's had issues with PayPal, to persuade buyers to use a payment method that is less secure for them, e.g. bank transfer (or possibly one that invalidates PayPal's buyer protection, such as multiple PayPal invoices for a single item purchased);
(vii) being proactively keen and communicative before receiving the sale proceeds, but frustratingly difficult to get hold of afterwards (not answering calls or responding to messages seeking updates);
(viii) delaying shipping (these delays often being protracted), having to be repeatedly chased for tracking details instead of volunteering this information to buyers, providing multiple excuses for the delays (some of them implausible or nonsensical), lying about having shipped items, and giving false tracking numbers; and
(ix) achieving relative success when it comes to online negative-content suppression to help cover his tracks, including by harassing those who call out his thieving, and issuing threats or take-down notices to get inconvenient posts, threads, links and web pages (detailing his past scamming) removed from search-engine results pages.
13. Photos of Jason Zenga
Please bear in mind that many of the images below are now over a decade old. Note as well their moody pretentiousness. And stench of narcissism.
Message to collectors:
If this individual appears on screen at the beginning of your Skype or Zoom chat with a seller, you have been duly warned.
Can this be true?
Tell me, can this be real?
How can I put into words what I feel?
Yeah, on the catwalk, on the catwalk, yeah
I shake my little tush on the catwalk
Would you cry, if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul tonight?

Platforms do tolerate inappropriate behaviour due to distorted incentives.
Eg eBay keeps online people that make a business of selling fakes because they bring fees, Facebook keeps online white nationalists because they bring clicks ie revenues, social forums keep online โdespicablesโ because โฆ etc etc โฆ

I nearly got swindled when buying some fake Elms Lester Parla prints from 'Nicole' - luckily I was able to get Paypal to send my money back. Will try and dig out the images I was sent of the fake stamps.

JASON ZENGA - Refresher Course on a Scammer, by dotdot on May 27, 2021 11:26:35 GMT 1, thread should be sticky for at least one reason.
goes without saying -> JZ is one of many - if there is a quid/buck to be made there will be a small queue of people willing to take it from ... those who might not know what exactly they are getting into...
thanks for info met , as per.
The sinking feeling which goes with the purchase of a fake or selling to a scammer is not one I'd wish on anyone here.

JASON ZENGA - Refresher Course on a Scammer, by Fake on May 27, 2021 13:48:24 GMT 1, I was one of the artists he scammed. Selling our works and never paying out.
Jason Zenga contacted me at some point asking me to remove a post like this I made on my blog at the time. I told him to F*** him self.
I am sure posts like this will hurt him and google results are stopping him from getting a normal job.
Note to self: Never mess around with "Met"

JASON ZENGA - Refresher Course on a Scammer, by Javier on May 27, 2021 14:00:34 GMT 1, Love the poetry of referring to such a kind of person as "a turd refusing to be flushed". Bravo Met
First of all thanks for the detailed information, second a question to the air...
Isn't there a way where all the knowledge about scammers could be shared? Sure we all have met at least one at one point or another (in my case just one, but I'm a bit newbie), and we could avoid others to be scammed too. Of course, in a way that didn't go against privacy laws, and at the same time don't allow them to know they have been discovered or would change Nicknames and so...

Can't find it either...
But in my case, the scammer was on eBay, that thread can be useful, but in a dreamworld there should be anything else...
By the way, it took me weeks, but he was banned from eBay (and now is back with a different name)

Canโt find it either. Letโs start a new one if nobody can locate it? I have a few names myself to add to the list :-)

This. Never heard of him suffering any repercussions. Always held out hope that Everlast is or at least knew people who settled shit streets style. But again, never saw anything of the sort.

JASON ZENGA - Refresher Course on a Scammer, by Shoeless on May 27, 2021 20:45:27 GMT 1, Great post met . I nearly got swindled when buying some fake Elms Lester Parla prints from 'Nicole' - luckily I was able to get Paypal to send my money back. Will try and dig out the images I was sent of the fake stamps.
Almost bought 184th and WTL from him back in 2011. Because of posts like this, I avoided him.
Still have all the pictures he had sent of prints and COAs.
