Steven Leflar alert issued for Napa Valley
Complaint
Events Task Force Napa Vally
Country: United States
event planners Task force are issuing an alert against suspected fraud artist and child predator Steven Leflar, known to operate in Napa Valley. Leflar, who has a victims list that includes talent agents and wineries, along with ex employees, is an unbalanced and dangerous individual known to assume other peoples identities and post under the name "Truth"
His chosen method of fabrication is the internet, and his skill at technologies help him con innocent victims out of their money.
Leflar has grown increasingly unstable, at an alarming rate, even going as far as to create false and defamatory websites on Napa Valley citizens and and community members. His predatory practices do not stop at adults. Leflar attempts to include children in his deviance. Leflar's MO is to create false impressions of trust, meanwhile stealing from the victim, and then blaming the victim. His most recent ploy was to con his best friend, Ron Israel out of $75,000. In late 2012, Leflar assumed the identity of a well known event planner who has since orginized an event task force to expose Steven Leflar.

Comments
The owner of the company has spoken up, alleging that Steve Leflar also victimized him at a festival Del Sole event at a winery. The talent agent responsible for bringing in all the wonderful entertainment at www.uptiowntheater.com also brought charges against Leflar and won her court case, only to see Leflar slither away.
The Napa Valley Events Task Force is now committed to exposing Steven Leflar and his confidence games, so we may better protect our valued clients and citizens.

Steve Leflar is a coward, as is Eric Symons, who stalked me last month.
I have sent out alerts to everyone I know about Steven R Leflar and Eric Symons, child predators.

The Napa Police are welcome to read this thread. Furthermore, they can check with Legendmakers in Concord California to talk to a witness who alleges that Steve Leflar was making these threats in front of him. The man is a 12 year former employee of Leflar, and carries true credibility. When the man was burned for 81,000 by Leflar, Leflar sent his co hort and employee Eric Symons to stalk him. Eric called the man's brother, and has also harassed Thomas, Dr. Richard Aldag and another woman who makes a criminal complaint against Eric next week.
Napa Valley Task force is committed to seeing the law carries out. Steve Leflar must be arrested and interrogated by the Napa Police. The Ip addresses of the identity theft posts must be traced. That will be clear enough reason to arrest Steven R. Leflar,
Thomas is a very successful composer. Take a look.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrcuQ6Zbfjk That is 85,000 people listening to Thomas's music on Youtube this week March 30 2013
This Leflar idiot is raging with envy.

Steve Leflar update,
It is 2013. they will continue to stalk these same victims. Please take Leflar down.

Mr. Harris sued Mr. Schoenberger for $48,000.00 for nonpayment. http://napavalleyregister.com/news/article_705240b6-dc84-585c-abd0-4050456e22fb.html is an article. Mr. Schoenberger stalked Mr. Harris by letters, emails & news paper, claiming Mr. Harris held a gun on him. Mr. Schoenberger lost in court.
3. In 2002 Thomas stalked the owner and president of Viviani Destination services, and even followed the president of the firm to her mother's house 100 miles away and placed a sign on her mother's front yard. A police report was filed.
4. Over the same incident, where Thomas was upset with the DNC, Schoenberger stole stationary from a well-known caterer and wrote a poison pen letter as if it were from said caterer.
5. In 2005 Christine Andrews owner of Ecoutez Music was stalked by Mr. Schoenberger just because she was a competitor and told the truth about Mr. Schoenberger...
6. Jay Goetting writer for The Napa Register was stalked by Schoenberger because he didn’t print the lies about Mr. Harris of Pacific Entertainment. He reported just the facts.

Steve Ripped us off too ! This guy is a freak and a totally bad actor. We were never paid for several events we played for in 2011. He tried blaming others when we asked for our payment, then avoided our calls. His supposed finger pointing at others was his excuse for lack of accountability, but the trail led back to him. He tries to salt evidence, and confuse people. Thanks for doing this everyone. It's about time Steve Leflar is exposed as the nut he really is. This guy is bad bad news. If you guys decide to do an article, let me know. XXXX
Ron Israel, long term employee of Steven Leflar is supplying the task force with evidence that Steve Leflar may be guilty of perjury in a case in Contra Costa County. If true, a full letter to the court commissioner will be sent by the task force, with documentation from multiple victims of Steve Leflar's trickery. Stay tuned !

Furthermore, Leflar seems to have left a trail of victims in his wake. See these reports http://www.ripoffreport.com/directory/steven-leflar.aspx
Are you guys planning on taking this stuff to the authorities? It could be a good idea. Glad everyone is joining forces to vanquish this creepy man.

In a desperate attempt to hide his identity and criminal reputation, Steven Leflar has AGAIN changed his business name and web site! First it was Star Sounds Productions, then Simply The Best Entertainment, then STB DJs, then DJ SRL, and now.... " Steven's Music " Of course he doesn't mention his name anywhere on his web site: www.stevensmusic.biz. Avoid this criminal. Steven's Music has ripped off over 20 bands, musicians,DJs, and vendors for a total of over $200,000. He has been found guilty of theft twice (so far) in Contra Costa County. He has since fled to the Elk Grove area. He is now doing business with Eric Symons, whom he inserted as "owner" of Simply The Best Entertainment to hide his identity and keep bill collectors away.

This agent was ripped off for 18,000 by Steven Leflar after he provided services for a winery who;s initials are F.N.
According to this agent, Leflar tried to blame other people, had his assistant try and take some of the heat from him, and then sent an e mail to both Leflar and his assistant. A copy of this email is being distributed as of today to various people in the event business.
We will be using information from this agent and a former employee of Steve Leflar in upcoming posts
The other names of his outfits have been STB Entertainment ( testified to be Steve Leflar under oath in a court case in Concord) and Star Sounds Productions. We are now researching a studio he claimed he owned in Contra Costa County. Stay tuned !

This is my Steve Leflar story . I had a horrible experience with Steve Leflar, who is demented as far as I am concerned. We booked a DJ through Steve several years back. It was suppose to be simple. Long story short,after we caught him in inconsistent statements, and after he refused to admit he was at fault, we told him he had failed to live up to the contract terms and we would not pay him what he claimed we owe. You would think the guy would just go away right? No. This guy stalked me on MySpace, claiming we owed him money. Both my wife and I were shocked at how weird this man became. He was obsessed. It was really creepy. We got advice from the police and they said the best thing to do was to ignore him .That did not work. This guy is bad news and its good to see other people catching on to him. He is crazy and dangerous This guy is like one of those middle eastern terrorists. I will always check references before hiring anyone again. Email Complaint Notice: July 15th, 2010
