The Fleecing of Flo!

Dear CoMmies:  I am pleased to report that the following article is our most popular ever in our eight month existence!  Thank you!

Today is as good as any other time to highlight an example of Marty financially abusing another vulnerable elderly lady. By now our readers should all be familiar with how Marty treated his own mother. He basically ignored her and left her alone in a dark room all day while he spent her money dining out and generally being "Marty'ish"© around the Detroit area - without that pesky 10 hour per week job interfering.

After finally losing access to Bernice's lifetime savings, Marty's lifestyle declined rather quickly. He lost everything he had swindled out of his mother. His refusal to do anything to help himself cost him dearly. After hitting what I'd consider rock bottom - even by Marty's standards - Guy and Robin helped him escape from life on the streets, or more accurately, in the Mongoosmobile©. Unknowing to them, they also supplied Marty with his most important tools for evolving into the scamming liar he is today: Access to a computer with an internet connection. 

With unlimited computer time at the body shop owned by Guy, Marty was free to troll the internet searching for ignorant victims. Enter one Florence Iverson - borderline senile, no children and a government pension - Eureka! We're not sure exactly how or when Marty discovered Florence, but it was his dream come true. In Florence, Marty had found a lonely old woman he could sweet talk and therefore take advantage of. It wasn't long before Marty declared Florence was his new mother and promised her an all expenses paid trip to California to join him on his friend Ellen's show. She'd finally meet him in a grand fashion!

Somehow Marty managed to convince Florence he was a great elder something or another and needed funds to continue preforming his "good works" Florence often refers to. She began mailing him money on a regular basis to help him save the world from Marty's usual list of evil, and his ongoing legal case against his family. Of course, in reality she was funding nothing more than what Marty does best after being obnoxious - EATING!

As is Marty's habit, he couldn't help but brag to people that he has women sending him money. I guess that's just part of the image Marty wants to project. He tried to use the fact that women were sending him funds as proof he was working for the good of mankind, therefore it was ok for others to also donate. A defacto reference, if you will.

Anytime the donations Marty receives become public knowledge, suddenly the denials begin. Florence is no different. A recent comment on Marty's page is a great example of this. 

Florence Iverson

"You have my permission to use my name;calling me SENILE and giving you $50.00 each month? Do they have proof of either?"

Ask and you shall receive. Here you go, crazy lady:

As you can see, this letter from Florence to Marty is a warning that Florence won't be able to send money as often as she did LAST YEAR! "Next year the money will be sporadic...". Wouldn't that imply that the money was sent on a regular schedule the previous year? 

Based on the quantity of envelopes from Florence found in the trash placed on the curb after the fumigation of the Mongoose Lair, letters to Marty arrived quite often. Something tells me these envelopes weren't just correspondence letters sent to wish Marty a great day. With all the Facebook comments between these two, not to mention the assumed phone calls, why would two or more letters a month plus several packages be needed? I think we all know the answer to this question. 

The part of this letter that sickens me is the fact that Florence felt the need to provide Marty with an explanation for not being able to send money as often. How much pressure has Marty been putting on this elderly lady to send more money? It's obvious Marty expected to receive it every month. How many phone calls has Florence received from Marty asking if his check is in the mail? Or better yet, how many times has Marty called Florence and said "I'm going to need more money this month"? What reasons has Marty been giving Florence for a grown man to need an allowance from this surrogate mother who he's never even met in person?

This letter is just another example of Marty taking advantage of the people he claims to fight for. Florence just blindly believes Marty is using her money for good causes. In reality, if she ever asked Marty for proof of his "good works" he'd be at a total loss and would likely begin attacking her just like he does Robin & Guy today. I can't help but wonder just how deeply Marty has managed to embed himself in Florence's finances. She's not going to live forever and must have quite a bit socked away. Another concern I have is how many other, local or otherwise, "mommys" Marty has that we don't know about? How does Linda feel about these elderly women sending Marty money? Does she not know or is she in on it and that's what attracted her to him in the first place, as they chuckle about it over a couple of tubes of raw cookie dough?

From the looks of things, once again it's obvious Marty spells ATM M-O-M!

Wake up, Florence. Have someone show you how to use a browser properly. You've been reading that same CoM page for weeks now...
