Game show fans, please RT. To anyone who may visit a blog called "GameShowNetworkNews" - stop doing it now. He's a con and a fraud. Recently, Scott Rahrer (the site's "writer") announced that he was adding a new blogger, Nicole Tillman, a previous game show contestant.[1] This account made a couple of posts...[2] but as you can tell, those come from a cache because the links no longer exist. I tweeted this person to see if she was actually associated with this site, since I couldn't imagine someone of merit would be and she said that she hasn't "posted any blogs ever." [3] By this time, all "Nicole Tillman" posts are down and the name no longer appears as a contributor.

The short of it: Ol' Scott made a fake account based on a real person to post news as if he had additional contributors. Get your news from BuzzerBlog, About.com Game Shows, GameShowNewsNet... just don't visit this clown.
