EXPOSING THE TRUTH BEHIND
INTERNET TROLL:FRANK DE GROOT
Welcome!
I have launched this platform to address a persistent issue that has unfortunately gone unchecked for far too long. Despite efforts made, individuals like DeGroot continue to operate with impunity, using intimidation tactics to silence dissent and criticism.
It's alarming to witness how often DeGroot employs threats of legal action, even against review platforms themselves, to suppress voices of concern. This behavior is not only concerning but also indicative of deeper issues. DeGroot's actions reflect a classic narcissistic pattern, where he believes he is always right and everyone else is wrong. He becomes enraged when someone wants to share information and facts about him, despite freely engaging in similar actions against others.
While it may seem disheartening that such individuals persist in their harmful behaviors, I refuse to be a passive bystander. My mission is to create a united front against such behavior by gathering and sharing stories. Every narrative shared adds strength to our collective voice and potentially shields others from similar experiences.
Your contribution matters, whether it's sharing your own story or supporting those who have spoken out. Together, we can bring about positive change and create a safer, more accountable environment for all.
Thank you for being a part of this important endeavor.
My encounter with DeGroot began innocently enough – a simple request for an update on a placed order. However, the response was far from ordinary, as I found myself blamed, antagonized, blocked and thoroughly bewildered.
Simply put, I placed an order but never received it. Unfortunately, the website and its owner do not provide a phone number or email for direct contact. So, I turned to their online chat for assistance. I asked for a tracking number and was wrongly blamed for mishandling my own order. When I questioned the additional fees, I was abruptly informed that I was blacklisted. Upon attempting to reply to this unfair treatment, I found myself blocked from the chat.
Determined to resolve the issue, I contacted my credit card company, which rightfully sided with me, leading to a refund. However, the saga didn't end there. Despite being blocked from the chat, I received an email notification and learned that I had been labeled a "Random Baddie" and accused of theft. To make matters worse, the owner threatened to doxx me on other sites, citing their Terms and Conditions as justification for this unethical behavior. You can include pretty much whatever you want in your Terms and Conditions agreement. However, there are certain clauses that the courts won't enforce because they are considered to be "unfair" or "unconscionable." Some Terms and Conditions agreements contain an "exclusion of liability" clause.
In essence, this situation is clear-cut: I paid for a product I never received, and instead of addressing the issue professionally, DeGroot resorted to aggressive and malicious tactics. It's disappointing and shameful behavior. Despite the straightforward nature of the situation, DeGroot refuses to acknowledge his wrongdoing or consider the consequences of his actions. This leads me to believe that he derives some perverse pleasure from causing distress to others.
One thing is certain: I feel a profound sense of vindication for myself and others who have confronted DeGroot.
I refuse to succumb to bullying and aim to encourage others to stand up for themselves. While some may argue for apathy, I believe it is precisely this attitude that allows such malice to thrive in our society.
Research has unveiled that Franciscus Andreas DeGroot, aka Frank, has been assuming the identity of Sarah Vaughter to commit various online crimes, including doxxing, slandering, libeling, cyberbullying, and threats of lawsuits. I am committed to amassing evidence and presenting it to expose this behavior, ensuring that justice prevails.
I've curated a collection of articles with contributions from various "victims" of a character known as "Frank." These accounts detail a decade-long pattern of troubling interactions, with no resolution in sight. Before you find yourself ensnared in this web of harassment and his go to threat of lawsuit which will never legally see the light of day, I urge you to peruse the links below.
If you reside outside the U.S. and fall prey to such activities, I encourage you to report the incidents to your respective government authorities. For guidance, click here. If you're within the U.S., visit 'Reporting to the Authorities' for comprehensive information on how to report your experience. The enormity of this issue is staggering, with the highest prevalence of cyberbullying recorded in India, Brazil, and the United States, though it persists globally.

The sheer volume of evidence is staggering, and I am confident that there are many more examples out there. I will continue to update this list with the help of others as I gather more information. Upon exploring the provided links, you'll notice a recurring pattern where DeGroot often responds to reviews with assertions like "This appears to be yet another fake review, and we intend to pursue legal action for libel."
