I'm writing you this email in hopes that this will clear a few things up  
with what seems to be my company being set up by who is in no doubt, a crazed  
individual out for sick kicks, a "not doing so well" mystery theater  company, 
or both.  Let me first and foremost say, I feel the  NeohioPal listings are a 
great way for theatrical entertainment people to  get together, network, or be 
in the loop of upcoming events.  However, it  appears that somebody has used 
the NeohioPal postings not once, but twice, as a  vehicle to mar reputable 
theater companies that has done nothing more then help  the acting community in 
Ohio when all possible.
 
As you know in the past M.O.B. I.N.C. has donated free of  charge weapon 
rentals, as well as weapons masters to several theater  companies and Indie film 
projects throughout the north eastern Ohio area.   In addition to that, I give 
actors a chance and place to express themselves and  work their craft and for 
that I respect them, as well as pay them.  Being  an actor/writer myself I 
know what it's like to want to perform and be  appreciated for it.  I have been 
in this business for some time now and do  it quite successfully because first 
and foremost, the shows must be of highest  quality and that involves using 
the best actors available in Ohio if not the mid  west region.
 
The group one is performing for must be totally satisfied and I can  honestly 
say that we at M.O.B. I.N.C. have never had an unsuccessful  event.  We work 
hard and spend countless hours writing as  the midnight oil burns hammering 
away at scripts or a prop, always keeping  things new and exciting. One evening 
while researching late at night I  received an email from a 
Secylady66 at hotmail.com asking for a  mystery company for an event.  I replied though thinking it 
 was odd for a corporation to do business at 2:00am.  
 
Corresponding back and forth this person would ask me for additional  
information and I would of course reply but thought it just didn't make sense to  
send an email every 10 minutes so I had told this person M.O.B. I.N.C. was  up 
late writing scripts and if she were too, she could call.  She continued  to 
email me, afterwards I sent what I call a "How To" page, describing the  do's and 
don'ts of a murder mystery. 
OK now this is where it gets twisted so bare with me, I receive another two  
emails asking for things in a custom made script that were plainly stated in 
the  info packet I sent of which were not acceptable but thought, I have actors 
to  get work for so some time you have to adjust to put food on the table and 
work  for the actors.  Mind you I'm finding this odd and somewhat deja vu but 
 still couldn't put my finger on it.  
 
This person in every email would put nothing more then a first name and  
after corresponding over a week with not as much as a phone number, contact  name, 
or company, I asked for the mystery lady to let me have a work phone  number 
to talk further about her event but still she avoids the question  entirely.  
She continues asking me more senseless questions  repeating herself which made 
it apparent that this was a hoax, but by who?   Who would take food out of an 
actors mouth and why?  The answer of course  had to be financial gain.
 
Then it dawned on me just who it was...A few months back there was a screen  
name by the name of imPuffnStuff at yahoo.com asking for a  mystery.  Once again 
these emails came in late at night representing a  corporation, allegedly.  I 
replied as did other companies that saw the  listing and after a few days a 
posting showed up on NeohioPal bashing every  theater company that replied even 
calling me a mobster and other companies  illiterate.  Was I called a 
"mobster" because there is a vowel at  the end of my last name?  
 
Now here's the crazy part, there was one company that didn't get trashed in  
the email and were praised.  So putting two and two together I along with  
several other mystery theater companies knew it had to be a not so popular  
mystery company trying to cut out the competition.  The only way to keep  your 
competitors in check is to do your job better then they do, not by marring  
companies to make the "not so good"  look good.  It's dirty  politics and I can't 
believe dirty politics have bled into this acting community  that is supposed to 
be about love of theater and entertaining people to give  them happiness for 
a few hours and fond memories you hope will last a  lifetime.
 
I implore anybody that has had a similar experience with  this person to post 
your thoughts, and for the company behind  this assault of falsehoods, you 
reap what you sew and what comes around goes  around.   Do your job and don't 
worry about anything else but your  product you put out and stop being such a 
mystery theater whore of a company.  Have some decency and be ethical.  There's 
enough room in this state for  everybody, I should know, I have just opened an 
office in Columbus as well as  the headquarters in Cleveland and business is 
doing great. This was  not a random attack, it's merely a poor attempt to 
underhandedly get  jobs  by slandering long lived companies to contract shows that 
you normally couldn't  because you're quite frankly just not good enough to 
be in the big show and  laxck the talent.  I feel sorry for you and what you're 
trying to reduce a  close knit acting community to.
 
Sincerely,
W.J. Malbasa
President of M.O.B. I.N.C.
P. S.  I'm sorry to those that had to read this that are not involved  but 
when somebody tries to discredit me falsely for their own gain, it must be  
addressed.  My apologies just the same to all and happy holidays to you  all
