But is the person using this account now Corey Baker? nt bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #8

His brother Aaron is posting on his behalf Hekate Feb 2017 #62

Is it Corey Baker in Illinois or Ohio? bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #64

I have now read thru enough of this and the other thread to see a bunch of red flags Hekate Feb 2017 #69

No problem. bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #70

How do you figure that out from what has been said? LisaL Feb 2017 #9

Read JenniferJuniper's comments in his accident thread. nt bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #11

I just don't want anyone from this site being scammed by someone. nt bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #16

There's been a Corey Baker on DU since at least 2005. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2017 #3

Right-- I'd be very careful. bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #10

I guess everybody has to decide for themselves whether they feel comfortable The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2017 #12

I posted that about his accident. nt bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #13

Never noticed him, but we have thousands of members. Maru Kitteh Feb 2017 #14

I just find this whole thing sketchy. bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #15

Strange how you are so invested in this. demmiblue Feb 2017 #17

How about Googling accidents in the Dayton area bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #18

Pffft.... you want family members to post their phone numbers on the internet?! demmiblue Feb 2017 #20

Or the scammer can post a burner number online bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #21

But no one posted a number, so I don't get your point. demmiblue Feb 2017 #23

Did you Google Corey Baker and Dayton, Ohio accident yet? bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #25

Good lawd. demmiblue Feb 2017 #28

Sure...let's all get ripped-off by a scammer!!! regnaD kciN Feb 2017 #74

Btw did you Google Corey Baker and Dayton accident? nt bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #22

No, and I am not going to. n/t demmiblue Feb 2017 #24

Good-- You shouldn't. lol bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #27

I just did, out of curiosity. Not a thing. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2017 #26

Didn't they say Dayton was like 45 minutes from where the guy lives? NoGoodNamesLeft Feb 2017 #55

Tell me what it makes me if this guy turns out to be a scammer-- bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #57

Well, if you took a few minutes to actually read the kids old posts... NoGoodNamesLeft Feb 2017 #65

Should his Ill FB be trusted? bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #68

But in this case, you'd be wrong. Human decency is not playing peoples' emotions to scam $$$ Maru Kitteh Feb 2017 #91

A link to the news story about the accident would not be too much to expect. Chemisse Feb 2017 #53

But go ahead-- I'll keep quiet about the possible scam that's happening on here. bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #19

There was a comment the other day that talked trash about the people on DU bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #34

I'd be interested to read the news story about his accident. Orrex Feb 2017 #35

I think if you call the hospital, they will confirm he is a patient. Or not. Glimmer of Hope Feb 2017 #46

I called and the operator said there wasn't a patient by that name there. bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #72

Sounds legit to me, Corey has been around DU since at least 2005 BlueStateLib Feb 2017 #47

Please read post/links/info below. Corey Baker Gofundme believed to be a scam. Maru Kitteh Feb 2017 #94

The author's writing style changes dramatically throughout the thread BainsBane Feb 2017 #73

Also someone called the hospital BainsBane Feb 2017 #76

Look at the GoFundMe page. bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #83

The Facebook page says Corey lives in Richmond, Indiana pinboy3niner Feb 2017 #86

Read JenniferJuniper's comments bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #87

What it says on the FB page pinboy3niner Feb 2017 #88

Well, how about calling the hospital then. bathroommonkey76 Feb 2017 #89

Thank you - for your efforts ohheckyeah Feb 2017 #97

The Facebook page has several other 'Bakers' listed under his friends list. RandiFan1290 Feb 2017 #98

Because they were all in the ICU waiting room and none of them had a phone to post an update. dalton99a Feb 2017 #102

I don't Facebook, but has anyone reached out to them so offer their sympathy, to see the results? TheBlackAdder Feb 2017 #104

I saw the same thing last night when I was poking around. woodsprite Feb 2017 #105
