I encountered Canadian conman Anthony Confitti in the context of sniffing around the Onpassive pyramid scheme back in 2023. This was an enormous watering hole, every scammer that could fog a mirror had some sort of tie to it.

SEC Sues Alleged Perpetrators of Fraudulent Multi-Level Marketing Scheme and Unregistered Offering
Anyway, here’s the man himself - Tony Conflitti, a sleazy fraudster who took advantage of someone’s elderly, confused aunt.
That’s a new photo, and I’m not good with faces, could be the same as this guy?
I have a file named 2023-09-09-TonyConflitti.mtgl, but this was where I discovered Onpassive. There isn’t anything in here connected to him, I should probably rename it once I double check.
At one point I had some back and forth with him via SMS, but Google got grabby about idle Voice numbers, so I don’t think I can get it back. There might be some stuff on one of these old phones, but he didn’t qualify for a burner of his own, I’m sure I used one from another case. And I think I know which one it was …
September of 2023 was a noisy month for this sort of stuff, I see things in my log about Grifter: Richard Anderson Sharp. There’s no connection between the two men, they just happened to show up at about the same time.
This one is definitely a hand to hand kinda problem. Google him, find out where he’s making contact with new victims, and then wiggle into position. I don’t think he’s ever been very active on Twitter, but learn a little lesson here - abandoned accounts like this are TREASURE, it’s a snapshot in time, so go through those 51 followers and see what clues you can find.
Here’s what Google has as first results for him from my perspective.
So there you have it. Much like Luigi Forino, this guy pretends to have wealth and access to business activities, he contrives “investments” or pleads hard luck seeking “loans”, then slithers away when confronted. He’s careful enough to avoid the letter of the law - the small dollar amounts combined with international border mean that neither U.S. nor Canadian law enforcement wants to mess with him.
But you, constant reader, are welcome to have a go at him.
