You can attempt to polish a turd to make it look better, and you can always try to rebrand to avoid your history of being a fraud and scumbag. The internet never forgets.
Con artist and disgraced wanna be cop/firefighter/paramedic Austin Ayers has rebranded all his scam Facebook news pages and created yet another fake news website in the form of Steel Town News. it seems he created a fake store for the purpose of computer repair and video game rentals.
Here’s a list of the new scams and current ones:
FTS Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania Conservative Club
Pitt News (Rip off of University of Pitt News)
Websites tan by Ayers include: (won’t be linking them due to malware on the sites as well as it being a clicks for ad cash grab)
Pa Breaking News
Penn Informer
Steel Town News
Update: as of November 2nd all pages except Penn Informer and Steel Town News have been removed from Facebook. This is a common tactic by Ayers to hide pages or take them down until the heat from his scams when busted die down.
Further Reading on Ayers:
Last month, I tweeted about this West Central Emergency Medical Service SUV that showed up to Daryl Metcalfe's gun rally & I'm 100% sure these people are behind the PA Breaking News fake website that popped up.
