Justin Credible Admits Mishandling Fan Orders, Denies Running A Scam

Former ECW star Justin Credible (real name Peter Polaco) recently sat down for a raw and emotional interview with Maven, addressing long-standing accusations that he scammed fans by taking money for merchandise and not fulfilling orders, along with criticism over missed podcast appearances and no-shows.

Credible admitted mistakes were made but strongly denied any malicious intent:

“Did it happen? Yeah, it happened. But not the way people are saying. I swear on my children, and I would never lie on them. I did it with the best intentions. But sometimes, I’d get $40 through Cash App, and by the time fees hit and I buy food, the money’s gone. I wasn’t ready for that type of responsibility. I wasn’t equipped for it.”

He emphasized that he never set out to scam anyone and is open to making amends:

“If people want to reach out, my email is [email protected]. I don’t have the cash right now, but we’ll work something out. If you paid, you deserve it. I’m embarrassed. But I’m not a scam artist—that word hurts. I was just trying to feed my wife and kids.”

Credible also responded to criticisms of missed podcast interviews and no-shows:

“Not showing up for podcasts? That only happened once or twice, maybe. But they go online and blow it up like I’m screwing them. I never bad-mouth anyone, even when promoters ghost me after a show and still owe me $500. I just don’t go online and blast them. But they turn around and bash me. So yeah, I block people—I don’t need that energy.”

He also pushed back on claims that he ignores fans:

“I’ve given out my phone number to fans. Told them to call me, let’s work it out. But it’s easier for people to talk trash online than face me in real life.”

Credible acknowledged his past missteps but asked for understanding:

“Of course I could’ve handled things better. Do I feel bad? Yeah, because people didn’t deserve that. But this isn’t some big operation. If I made $300 or $400 and didn’t send merch, that’s a lot—but I never meant to. And if you know me, if you meet me in person, you’ll see—I’m a good man. I’ve done things I’m not proud of, but I’m not a bad person.”
