When you were young, you may have learned the art of negotiation, of appealing to anothers emotions, sense of fair play, and other human interactions at home.
Your education, however, was not complete until you got your license and grovelled successfully at the drive in. :D
Oh I remember getting milk bottles (yes bottles) delivered to our front door during the week. We'd would leave the empties outside the front door at night and when we opened the door the next morning fresh bottles of milk would be there waiting for us.

"Real Black Ops" Author Outed as a Fraud
Andy Chalk | 12 Jan 2011 6:50 pm
Filed under: andy chalk, beyond the call of duty, book, fraud, wolfgang hammersmith
It looks like the "real life black ops guy" who dazzled gamers with his true stories about modern warfare and black ops in the book Beyond the Call of Duty: Gunfight! is actually a fraud who's never even been in the military.
Back in November we told you about Wolfgang Hammersmith, the improbably-named former Marine Corps Lt. Col. and black ops veteran who led 86 combat missions in 41 countries and lived to write about it in Beyond the Call of Duty: Gunfight! Hammersmith's life was hardcore military from the get-go: his father fired live rounds at him when he was eight years old "to desensitize him" and then turned him over to a United States Marine Corps program when he was 12. At age 18 he became a "combat team commander" in Vietnam, took part in counter-terrorism and anti-human trafficking operations as part of the pre-Delta Force "Combined Services" and finally threw in the towel and retired to civilian life at 37.
It sounds impressive. There's just one problem: according to some digging done by members of Professional Soldiers, it's all a lie.
A number of inconsistent details in Hammersmith's fantastic tale raised red flags among many members of the community, who were unable to locate any evidence that could corroborate any aspect of his story. Hammersmith himself appeared on the forum in early December to mount a defense, although that amounted to little more than a statement that his ops were so black that they were utterly invisible. He further claimed that he was attempting to access his records through a Freedom of Information Act request, although he said he did not expect it to be approved.
That didn't carry much weight with the Professional Soldier users, who have apparently run into such far-fetched stories in the past. One long-time member sought more information by submitting his own FOIA request to the National Personnel Records Center, which eventually reported that Hammersmith had never been in the military at all.
True believers might dismiss that as a simple disavowal of an ultra-secret operative, but Hammersmith's own actions in the wake of the controversy tell a different story. On December 23, he modified his website to reflect an "update in progress," saying that he had met with attorneys in Washington D.C. and launched an investigation to uncover his official status in the Marine Corps. He removed all links to his biography and other related information, and made a few significant changes to his book as well.
"Based on legal counsel's advice, I am voluntarily removing my rank from my book Beyond the Call of Duty: Gunfight! until such time that my military status can be made public through the ongoing investigation I am conducting," he wrote. "Additionally, I am moving the genre of my writing into fiction instead of non-fiction."
Now I'm no special ops guy, nor do I know any in real life, but it seems to me that if Hammersmith's ops were declassified as he claimed, and that if he could write about them in a book that's for sale to the public, then he should be able to provide some shred of evidence to support his claims. Instead, he's thrown up some wild obfuscation, reclassified his book as fiction and effectively disappeared. It may not be proof of wrongdoing, but it sure doesn't look good.
For those who want to see more, the whole ugly business is on display now at professionalsoldiers.com.
It's starting to roll down hill for sure and it's not going to be a pretty site for Wolfie when it reaches the bottom.

Andy,
We didn't have to do much digging, wolfgang did most of that himself.;)
We know a "little" about classified missions, or "Black-ops" as the term most frauds use.
The wolf-boy has dug a hole so deep that he'll never climb out.
I'd bet his website will be gone soon, and we expect to see wolf-boy pushing a grocery-cart, with all of his belongings through a major city....

Getting an article posted to one of the IGN subsidiaries and Escapist is good.
N4G is simply an aggregate site; they allow you to post anything and let users on the site decide if it is worthy of information or not.
If this news gets out to either Kotaku, Gamasutra or Joystiq, then this is really going to hit him hard. Gamasutra is the industry leader for gaming news, and they also were the first group to do an interview with him, and that's what got the ball rolling on the current situation.
Our site had nothing to do with this guy, so we can't just post a story all willy-nilly. Given that you guys took over investigating this douche, I've sort of just sat back and watched. I'll see about convincing my editor on a story here pretty soon, discussing credible sources and the dangers of getting too hollywood. ;).
Kotaku is a big aggregate, they posted the story as a repost as well. Joystiq is an AOL owned site, very big gaming site to be sure.

Professionalsoldiers.com does not advertise its presence on the internet. We are nothing more than a bunch of Green Beret wearing Special Forces soldiers keeping in touch.
wolfgang hammersmith was found/posted by a member of our website. We took interest in his "black-ops" and "NUO" claims and the fact he was defrauding innocent young people out of their hard earned cash.
Most frauds can get away with their scam right up to the time they actually run into a real Special Operations soldier. (In hammersmiths case that collision was orchestrated by a member of this forum.) These frauds also get away with their scam because few civilians would question the claims of a "Green Beret" or "Navy SEAL". (While we don't go after suspected Navy SEAL frauds, we have friends that do.)
In our case, word is getting out that ProfessionalSoldiers.com will verify or vilify your "Green Beret", "Special Forces", "black-ops", "my records are classified" or "NUO" claims in short order.
Our tolerance for "Green Beret" frauds is zero and our resolve to set the record straight, uncompromising.
"Special Forces Frauds Beware"; If you post your fraudulent "Special Forces" claims on the internet, news article, forum, blog, book etc your days as a "Green Beret" fraud are numbered. We will find you.

Follow the money:
Book sales
Paid appearances at "gaming stores"
Paid interviews
Sensational & unsubstantiated claims with his "alphacipher" and digital one time pad, which have been reviewed by well-known cryptologists as basically "snake oil".
False claims on his Vadium tech website (e.g. Mr. Hammersmith is an expert in security matters with extensive international experience.) and extensive press releases related to VT's expansion into the international markets.
Washington Revised Code RCW 9A.60.045: Criminal impersonation in the second degree.
(1) A person is guilty of criminal impersonation in the second degree if the person:
(a)(i) Claims to be a law enforcement officer or creates an impression that he or she is a law enforcement officer; and
(ii) Under circumstances not amounting to criminal impersonation in the first degree, does an act with intent to convey the impression that he or she is acting in an official capacity and a reasonable person would believe the person is a law enforcement officer; or
(b) Falsely assumes the identity of a veteran or active duty member of the armed forces of the United States with intent to defraud for the purpose of personal gain or to facilitate any unlawful activity.
(2) Criminal impersonation in the second degree is a gross misdemeanor.
[2004 c 124 § 1; 2004 c 11 § 2; 2003 c 53 § 79.]
Washington Revised Code RCW 9A.56.020: Theft — Definition, defense.
(1) "Theft" means:
(a) To wrongfully obtain or exert unauthorized control over the property or services of another or the value thereof, with intent to deprive him or her of such property or services; or
(b) By color or aid of deception to obtain control over the property or services of another or the value thereof, with intent to deprive him or her of such property or services; or
The following definitions are applicable in this chapter unless the context otherwise requires:
(4) "By color or aid of deception" means that the deception operated to bring about the obtaining of the property or services; it is not necessary that deception be the sole means of obtaining the property or services;

(a) Creates or confirms another's false impression which the actor knows to be false; or
(b) Fails to correct another's impression which the actor previously has created or confirmed; or
Wolfie's vast internet postings and online interviews suggest that he is suffering from narcissistic personality disorder (http://www.buzzle.com/articles/narcissistic-personality-disorder-symptoms.html), which is defined as:
* The most important symptom is the developed sense of self-importance.
* The need for excessive self-admiration is not a sign of a healthy mind. This kind of behavior causes a narcissist person to constantly seek importance.
* These people believe themselves to be special than others.
* The narcissist exhibits a jealous behavior, and wrongly, thinks that others are envious of him/her.
* The narcissistic personality, taking into consideration the above symptoms appears to be quite harmless. However, these people can also take advantage of others in order to meet their own goals. This is when the narcissists create problems for others.
* Turning arrogant and showing no respect to others' feelings is one of the narcissistic personality disorder symptoms in children
* Narcissistic personality disorder makes the person emotional, and he/she can get hurt quite easily.
* Self-esteem of such people may dip when hurt on an emotional level. They however, don't show it off in public and tend to sulk. Displaying a seemingly strong personality on the exterior is one such characteristic/symptom of these people. (COMMENT: listen to his podcasts)
* Setting unrealistic goals is one of the traits of narcissists. This kind of a behavior may arise from the fact that they don't gauge their own abilities/potential properly. Their thought-process is clouded by self-obsession and undue confidence.
* Since, people with narcissistic personality disorder are self-centered, they tend to exaggerate their achievements and abilities/talents. This behavior is bound to create/slowly develop a personality which is kind of fake, or not in line with the true nature of that particular person.
* A habit of boasting about talents and achievements can result into the person receiving a severe emotional/mental shock when hurt by an honest but brutal criticism. More information on narcissistic rage can help in understanding the violent behavior exhibited by these people.
He's the issue with this f-tard:
1) He has trouble with the truth and intentionally misleads others for personal and financial gain (although he lives in a shitty little apartment in Tacoma).
2) He manipulates facts and introduces deceptive details, which cannot be validated, for personal and financial gain.
3) He has ability to conclusively settle this matter by providing names, documents, etc. yet chooses to restructure his website with even more implied associations with the United States Intelligence Community (e.g. his wiki links to the NCS and SAD). He has do nothing to provide credible facts. I believe this feeds his "need" for attention (negative attention is nevertheless attention).
Wolfie, you are a liar and a fraud. You are simply a Private Investigator in Washington State and THOSE are the experiences that you cite as being Black Ops. You disgrace the men and women of the US Military, the Directorate of Operations at CIA, and even your shareholders of your "company".
Do the right thing Wolfie: come clean, apologize, and donate any monies you have received as a result of your deceit to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Here is the URL http://www.specialops.org/?page=Make_A_Donation
You should also drive out to Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent, Wa and beg those interned for forgiveness.
fraud
1.deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage.
2.a particular instance of such deceit or trickery: mail fraud; election frauds.
3.any deception, trickery, or humbug: That diet book is a fraud and a waste of time.
4.a person who makes deceitful pretenses; sham; poseur.
liar
a person who tells lies.
lie
1.a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.
2.something intended or serving to convey a false impression; imposture: His flashy car was a lie that deceived no one.
3.an inaccurate or false statement.
4.the charge or accusation of lying: He flung the lie back at his accusers.
Yo, Wolfie...you may want to read this criminal complaint (http://www.scribd.com/doc/47548062/Hillar-Complaint) filed by the FBI for the arrest for inmate Hillar. I call your attention to paragraph 7 where it outlines Hillar's lies about his military service. You will note the complaint lists that Hillar's original website was taken offline...wow, deja vu all over again huh?
You sold books, made public appearances, conducted interviews...any monetary payment received as a result of your lies constitutes fraud:
paid in cash = fraud
paid via mailed check = mail fraud
paid via credit card = wire fraud
You're going down Wolfie. Perhaps you and Hillar could be cell mates.

I had time on my hands, so I studied writing, photography, cinematography, and busied myself in converting my skill set over to civilian ratings in scuba diving, sailing, pistolcraft, and I obtained a helicopter pilot's license. I studied programming, obtaining a BS in Computer Science, and invented the world's strongest, fastest, cipher system, using the well-known One-Time Pad Cipher as a base. My wife and I formed a company that did video and film production for eleven years, and just after that time I became a US Merchant Marine Ship's Master for 200-ton vessels for seven years. I am an unrated member of USCF because I protest the inequality between men and women they support, but I play chess frequently, and I also play the electric bass. I am now writing about my experiences in gunfighting and in operations against human trafficking and counterterrorism throughout the world.
I didn't know anyone could do so much in such a short amount of time on earth! I am so glad that you guys are outing this assclown. I am so sick and tired of people like this. I ran into a guy in Savannah, GA last year, selling his book about his Special Forces days and how he personally hijacked a plane to Cuba to kill Castro. He owns a little bookstore at the city market. I read the synopsis of the book and had to walk away. Since being on this forum, I trust NOBODY!

According to his profile on myspace, he is a fan of The Unit. I guess thats where he got his "ideas" and "fantasies" for his book?
His FB profile reads:

Thanks Teddy! <big smile>
\I know he's a wackjob and is 6 cans shy of a sixpack but what he is doing with those young and impressionable kids is heinous! Seeing those pics at the book signing (incidently, a lot of the links posted by you guys were no good) got my Irish up!!! Its one thing to lie to and fleece adults but when you victimize kids...thats another thing entirely. I guess after the whole thing with Harris (yeah, I believed his BS but I didn't buy the book...he emailed me the PDF tho) and then to perpetrate himself as the Warrior you all are.....well, I am madder than a hornet fighting a rattlesnake!!! :mad:

Quite possibly the only truthful thing he has said in his entire life. He DOES have a rotorcraft license.

I contacted Wolfie by email saying, "I recognize that it's been tough these past few months having such pressure on him". I suggested that he relocate to southern California. There, he could enjoy nicer weather then the pacific northwest and maybe submit his application to www.covered6.com
Chris Dunn is an idiot and would most likely "not" vet his credentials. He might slide in without anyone knowing his history. I suggested also changing his name from Wolfgang Hammersmith to Ian Thor Hammersmith, as too make his new life easier.
I wished him well.
Based on reading excerpts from his book and his response to this forum, I think Wolfie went to school to become a wit but dropped out after his sophomore year.

He's legally changed his name a "few" times. W. S. Hammersmith is his current legal name.
