“Cadillacer” is In all probability, not an individual.  It appears that Cadillacer is a bot (robot) that scrapes personal information from the online sources and then  reconstitutes that information with  flaming aspersions of wrongdoing against victims.  it has been suggested by some that this is part of an Internet extortion scheme.

On Nov 02, 2013, there were more than 80,000 results returned for a Google search for the exact phrase “posted by cadillacer”. this incredible number of postings is the main evidence supporting the guess that it is a robot rather than a real person. Alternatively, it could be a group of individuals in an organized “Boiler Room” operation.

Try the search yourself:

The Cadillac user name is a central element of an Internet shakedown scheme involving the website BadBoyReport.kr (recently changed from BadBoyReport.com, presumably due to litigation with a similar website in the United States) that  suggests a $9,999.00 “donation” if a victim wishes to have the defamatory allegations deleted from the website, and  as a consequence also disappearing from Google search results. It is likely that the operators of the scheme will do a “find and replace” and  randomize the Cadillacer user name so that the scheme is not so obvious in the future. The 80,000+ results have been memorialized with the following screen shot taken on Nov 02,2013:

 

Who Is Cadillacer of Bad Boy Report?

How to mitigate this defamation?

Step 1: Shout Louder

The following is an effective short term damage control provision. You can give your associates comfort in knowing that you are a victim, not a perpetrator, by publishing an Authorized Statement on page 1 of Google. If Google and the other search engines eventually remove BadBoyReport.kr from their respective search results, you can then delete your Authorized Statement or use it for another purpose.

Step 2: Report a Crime

If you are a victim of this defamation and extortion, you should report it to the FBI if you are in the USA, or to your cyber crime police in other countries. (keep in mind that only about 6% of cyber crimes are actually investigated in most countries)
