Cherrypal’s Max Seybold is so bad…

October 20th, 2010 by · 6 Comments · opinion

His ex-wife sued him for fraud!

A couple weeks ago I posted about how I was scammed by Max Seybold and a company called Cherrypal. On Monday one of Max’s other victims contacted me and suggested that I check the court records for Santa Clara County (that’s where the scumbag lives). Oh, boy. You’re not gonna beleive what I found.

First, a recap of my experience. I was scammed by Max Seybold when his company, Cherrypal, sold me a netbook. He repeatedly lied to me and eventually he ignored my emails. I never got the netbook nor did I get a refund.

But never mind me; the scam he played on me was small potatoes.

I did some digging, and I found the court recordsĀ  for Santa Clara County. It turns out that “Max Seybold” is only one of his alias. He’s also been sued under the names Wolfgang Max Seybold, Max Wolfgang Seybold, Max W. Seybold, Wolfgang M. Seybold, and probably several others that I haven’t found yet.

I don’t have the full court records, only the bare details. I don’t think that matters, though. He’s listed as a defendant in so many lawsuits that it shows a pattern. He is quite clearly a scammer. Here are some of the more interesting cases:

I skipped a couple cases where his former employees sued him. And please don’t forget his ex-wife; she really did sue him for fraud.

From what I can tell, I don’t think anyone has sued him successfully. He’s obviously a very good attorney.

Folks, I’m going to leave it there (for now). This isn’t a get Max Seybold blog, and TBH I’m enjoying this too much. (*his own wife*) But I will say that this makes me feel better. Max only scammed me out of $120; he took some of his other victims for over $10,000.

    What did Max do with your money?

    “Silicon Valley CEO Max Seybold sits in the passenger seat of a slate-blue 1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4 and laughs as Edward Holl kicks the V-12 engine up to 4,000 rpms and blows past a Corolla at double the posted speed limit. ‘Now we have success so why can t we enjoy it?’ he shouts over the roar.”

    this guy is a big scumbag. he scammed us of $1159 in the name of Tabs and Bing4 gadgets.

    he asked us to send him the money via western union since the special on these devices that he was selling via cherrypal was ending the friday.(05/01/2012) and as we are in Africa he complied and sebd it through.

    he confirmed receiving the money and that was the last time we heard from him. he does not reply our emails, neither does he answer his phone and.

    please someone needs to do something about this as this scumbag is going on and on and on.
