ANN BAEHR HIJACKED MY RESUME: ACCUSED OF PLAGIARISM & FRAUD
host01.ipage.com:8080 — Ann Baehr, owner of Best Resumes of New York has stolen my resume and is now passing it off as something she wrote. I found out about this when I saw my own resume on her website. I mean it was really my resume, word-for-word. She continues her campaign of perjury by now posting false "news stories" attacking me, & claiming that she is innocent.

- resumeexpert, on 02/04/2008, -0/+0Ann Baehr challenges Kathryn Carrado to show proof and to stop perpetuating her lies. Talk is cheap. Words hurt, but don't stand up to proof or in court. Ann Baehr has presented proof that she has had the resume up on her website for two years before Kathryn Carrado copied it (the profile, not the whole resume) from her website. Visit http://www.annbaehr.com/bestresumesofnewyork_news_ ... to see the full story and proof that Kathryn Carrado now realizes that she got caught and is perpetuating her lie WITHOUT PROOF.

YOU are writing this crap, and then PAYING to have it "published" online. It's pathetic. Let me just get this straight...Your argument is that I'm blowing the whistle on you because I have nothing better to do? C'mon. You know what you did, and you know you are lying. You have presented NO proof, just a few bogus "news headlines" and stories which YOU write. You then either pay to have this nonsense published on press release blogs, or you post it yourself on your website. People need to know that you are stealing resumes, and that's why I'm speaking out. Just quit stealing resumes and this will all go away. I can tell you that the more you attempt to discredit me, and the more you continue to lie and steal, the worse this is going to get. The thing is, Ann: You can't write. Go back and read some of your amateur crap. You steal the written work of others and then you pass it off as your own. Obviously this issue has hit a nerve, Professional Resume Writer; or we wouldn't be going back and forth ad nauseum. Consider yourself outed you thief.
- resumeexpert, on 02/04/2008, -0/+0Kathryn, you are not reading carefully enough. You need to use the same reading skills that you used when you copied the resume off my website. Read closely . . . I never said the news release was proof or denied that I wrote it, did I? I did, however, include the proof within the body of the Web Wire news release. Here's the hard proof (showing that the resume (profile only) you (supposedly) wrote three years ago has been on my website for five years. I have further proof that I wrote the resume seven years ago. http://web.archive.org/web/20030418002126/www.e-be ... I want to know how you can say that I stole your resume that you (supposedly) wrote three years ago that has been on my website for five years? Last I checked, that theory defies the laws of physics. Are your forgetting that you stole the profile (not the entire resume as you are purporting) three years ago and actually think it is yours? Official Electronic Proof: The Internet makes a cached copy (PDF) of every document on the Internet which is a permanent archive. The site is called the WayBackMachine. The earliest copy of the resume in question was created by the WayBackMachine nearly five years ago -- two full years BEFORE you stole the profile from the resume off my site. The PDF created by the WayBackMachine is on the archive.org server and cannot be accessed by anyone, not even me. The resume was archived on March 21, 2003, nearly a full five years ago. http://web.archive.org/web/20030418002126/www.e-be ... Have you hit a nerve? This is my business. I am not going to let someone like you slander my good name when you have no proof -- and I do! My clients are coming forward to provide me with as many testimonials I need to prove that I write all of my resumes. More importantly, the client of the said resume will provide a written statement as well. I have the archive.org proof and my client testimonials. No, not just quick blurbs, but their names and signed testimonials on their letterhead at http://www.e-bestresumes.com/client_testimonials.h ... What proof do you have? You promote yourself as President and CEO of American Dream Mortgage & Realty of California, Inc., when your MySpace profile lists your occupation as Suzi Homemaker. You are the fraud. Do I think you are doing this because you have nothing better to do? No, I believe you believe it is yours, which only proves that you are delusional. The very fact that you are carrying on over a profile that you stole three years ago and telling the world that it is the entire resume, "word for word," is a clear indication of your lying nature. Also, I never denied writing the news release, did I? Unlike when I emailed you privately on Saturday, January 26th to ask you for your proof and you emailed me back denying and knowledge of the matter. Then when I told you in my email that I could trace your IP Address, you allowed your website refi4u2.com to expire that week. Coincidence? You told me to go away and to have a nice life as if you didn't care, ending your email with "eyes rolling" Then last night you went to my profile at Naymz by Googling "Ann Baehr". If you are not worried why are blocking people from emailing you at Digg, canceling your website as soon as I presented proof that you are WRONG, and searching for my name in Google? What happened to "eyes rolling"? Anyway, this is really taking up a lot of my time. I have a resume service to run.

Ann Baehr of Best Resumes of New York has repeatedly attacked me by writing bogus "news stories" and then paying several internet services to have them "published." In the report above, her most recent attack, she states that I am a "Proven Liar." This is absolutely untrue, and with this report Ms. Baehr has now committed libel. Because of her ongoing harassment, she is now facing charges under the laws of the State of California, as well as several Federal Statutes that prohibit criminals such as herself from taking their illegal behavior across State lines.
That is only the start of what this woman has done. Please see the entire report of her actions, including PLAGIARISM and FRAUD here: http://www.freewebs.com/katcarrado/annbaehrhijacke ...
Ms. Baehr, who owns a resume-writing service in East Islip, New York apparently advertises for "employment positions available" and then asks her victims to submit their resumes. At that point, Ms. Baehr sorts through them, not as a potential employer, but rather as a conniving thief; copying and pasting resumes or parts of resumes onto her website, and then claims that she "wrote" them.
I know this because I found my own resume on her site a few weeks ago. When I asked Ms. Baehr to remove it, she laughed and said, "I don't think so."
At that point, I filed a complaint against her here on Rip Off Report which outlined my experience with her.
Since that time, Ms. Baehr has gone berserk online; and has posted "articles" which she pays to have published, and in which she continues to misrepresent what has happened here, as well as tarnish my name and my company's name. Ms. Baehr has had no contact or business dealings whatsoever with my company, yet she has posted negative and inflammatory falsehoods on at least 14 websites; causing a substantial loss of business, and an untrue negative reputation for myself, my company, and my employees.
Ms. Baehr is a liar and a thief. She is making up lies about me because she is angry that I discovered her illegal activity and confronted her. She will now be brought up on formal charges of PLAGIARISM, FRAUD, DEFAMATION, & LIBEL.
Even though her guilty verdict will not repair my reputation, nor restore the monies from the business I have now lost. I am proceeding only to stop her from doing this to other innocent victims of her resume scam.
As far as her bogus, unsubstantiated, and vicious attacks towards me, such as the one she posted here; the legal system will just have to sort it out. Look on the bright side Ann, maybe they'll let you have a laptop in jail.- resumeexpert, on 02/11/2008, -0/+0Kathryn Carrado of American Dream Mortgage & Realty of California, Inc. has announced that she has filed formal charges again me and my business, Best Resumes of New York.
That is a very serious statement. If she means it and is not blowing smoke, she better have about $40k, be prepared for a battle, and prepared to lose.
She also better explain to a judge that she is the one who threw the first libelous stone by telling everyone that I pose as an employer and sift through resumes and put the ones I like on my website as samples of my work, and that I do not write my resumes -- that I steal them and sell them as my own. First of all, I don't sell resumes. I write them as a service working very closely with my clients. Visit my website at e-bestresumes.com and visit my client testimonials.
In her first onslaught, she called me a fraud, amongst the approximate 15 other slanderous synonyms. Courts do not favor those who initiate the libel, especially when they only have accusations and not proof.
Boy, talk about the hypocritical pot calling the kettle black.
Let's examine the facts:
2001: Ann Baehr writes a resume (has client testimonial in writing)
2002: Ann Baehr adds the resume sample to her website.
2003. The WayBack Machine makes a PDF of it (and the entire website)
2005: Kathryn Carrado supposedly writes her own resume.
2008: Kathryn Carrado claims her resume is on Ann Baehr's website.
What? How can I write a resume two years before she wrote her resume? That just doesn't make sense.
SHE FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY PROOF (THE TRUTH)
Kathryn Carrado keeps telling everyone that I only have bogus news releases as proof, but never acknowledges that I have presented the archive.org link.
SHE FAILS TO PRESENT HER PROOF
Where are the date-stamped envelopes that she claims exist from the resumes she sent to companies three years ago? They better have the cancelled stamps from the U.S. Post Office dating before October 2002 because the WayBack Machine's archives are typically posted six months after they are actually cached.
I CANNOT POST LINKS HERE, SO I WILL SPELL OUT THE LINKS
I cannot post links here because it causes problems for servers. So, I have to "spell out" the website address.
Please go to archive.org and type in my website address e-bestresumes "dot com" and click on the March 21, 2003 link under the 2003 column. Visit the yellow link that reads View Our Resume Samples and click on the link that reads Director of Business Development.
There it is! Proof that I have been in possession of the resume at least two years before she wrote her resume -- the resume that I wrote seven years ago.
Please do an Internet search on how the WayBack Machine or archive.org in combination with the search term "evidence in court" to see how this valuable resource is helping to fight cases in court.
Since I have never seen Kathryn Carrado's resume that she supposedly wrote, the only writing samples I have seen have been her complaints and blog posts.
In her profile at LinkedIn, she actually used a part of the profile from my resume sample for her summary (to see the summary, you will need to be a member of LinkedIn to view her profile. There is no fee).
You can clearly see where my writing ends and hers begins. Please do a side-by-side to see what I mean. Resume writing is a well-honed craft that she obviously has not developed. Her wording is terrible. In fact, it doesn't even make sense. The sentence structure is a mess and the grammar and punctuation is horrible.
She will probably rush to change it or delete it after reading this. But that won't do her any good. I have taken a screenshot of it. If it changes, I am going to post the before and after on my website in a follow up post for you to see for yourself.
As for me going berserk and posting my accusations on 14 sites, those sites include the one WebWire I wrote, this Digg post, two of my own websites, and sites that she has posted to first. I only followed suit. She has taken out at least one known free website and filed a duplicate complaint to at least three consumer complaint sites. The rest include sites that have picked up the story using news aggregators.
My statements against here are not bogus and unsubstantiated. I have presented proof. I'm sure anyone reading this can see that for themselves.
Hey Kathryn, talk is cheap. You can't sue for libel. You threw the first libelous stone.
Do me a favor, get a job. And while you're at it, get a life.
To my clients: forgive me for stooping to her level.

Oh yeah, and another thing -- it is bad enough that you stole the profile from the resume, stop copying my wording in your posts. You are using the same exact words I am usingi .e. "unsubstantiated and vicious, to name a few" Also, I didn't tell you "I don't think so". I told you, "have fun." Get it straight.
You know what your problem is? You are a bully. You thought you were going to sit up there on your thrown and throw libelous stones and I was going to take it. Not a chance.
To my clients: forgive me for stooping to her level.
