BRONCO OWNERS BEWARE:
Bill Milem (Bill Megulus may be his real name) and his Legends page (not to be confused with Shaun Bryant's Rocky Roads Legend series custom Broncos as many of us initially thought it was) has recently proven himself to be a very shady character throughout another thread here in the Early Bronco Drivers group, so a warning for all to beware of this guy.
If you have not followed it and want to see some of his games first hand which have prompted this warning, search this group for *****. "Who / What is Legends?" ***** for the thread where it all plays out (minus his comments that he deleted).
In the last 24 hours he's managed to raise the suspicion of over a dozen of us who have been active in the Bronco community for 10-20+ years, including a major vendor which he just blocked and then removed when they asked what he was doing.
Bill popped onto the scene in the last month or two and now has 2700+ friends by sending friend requests likely to everyone who posts on a few different Bronco groups like this one.
However, unlike him, others and I who are suspicious of him have met literally thousands of you over the last 20 years of organizing and participants in some of the largest Bronco events from coast to coast and all in between.
I have reached out to folks who organize major events near him and to others who are very well known and connected within our community, and out of his 2700 "friends", not a SINGLE person can be found to vouch for him or his legitimacy, let alone anyone well known in the active community. Not even any of the people whose content he has on his page know him.
I'm a pretty good judge of character, and there are a lot of red flags and things that do not add up. I'm not exactly sure what the endgame or angle is yet, but I am working on a few theories.
In the mean time, he continues to pull content off of others personal pages to pass off as his own and/or to use on his own pages without permission or giving credit while promoting his pages with sone form of paid affiliate programs and to drive more page hits.
When asked to remove others content which he's misappropriated from his page, he has refused. He's recently lifted pics off my personal wall and added dumb commentary trying to be cute.
He's resorted to fabricating lies since he's been exposed as being of questionable character. (I.e. he never removed/unfriended me for posting political stuff on his page. I never accepted his friend request from a month or so ago and was never even able to post on his page.)
Now that the Bronco has reached record highs in collectibilty and value, several of us have noticed an uptick in "interesting" characters in the last year.
As has happened with other "Gold Rushes" with hot vehicles, this is the time that's ripe for all sorts of shady folks to surface, to be cautiously skeptical when accepting new Bronco Facebook friends that have no clear history.
Usually having mutual friends has been a good way to weed some requests out. But this guy used a rather simple and effective way around that which got even many well known club leaders, event organizers, and vendors (including my dad,) on his friend list to establish a form of instant credibility by proxy.
Many of us remember the likes of Rick Hale (Saddleup on CB), and the "Socks & Sandles" scammer out of the Deep South, both of whom ripped Bronco Enthusiasts off for many thousands. We need to be cautious; when things seem fishy, they usually are!
