IMPORTANT: If anyone can locate a copy of a video named 'Picture Perect,' it might explain the reasons for this court action -- I suggest a search of available film databases for this. Might be something really interesting there.
I didn't locate this, but checkout Los Angeles Superior Court Case

Don't believe this? GET ON THE PHONES.
- Note: Apparently Melissa has some concerns about using her middle
name. On the Scott marriage certificate there was no middle name or initial.
quotes, from the case (LA Superior Court #BC186128):
'Third Cause of Action -- Fraud and Deceit -- Promise Made With No Intention to Perform'
26: 'BBE (Barbie Bridges Enterprises), Melissa, Paul and the Defendants
('John Does #1-#20), and each of them agreed to repay (Plaintiff) Atkinson for the money advanced by Atkinson
pursuant to the terms of said agreement.'
27. 'As of December 1997, BBE, Melissa, Paul and the Defendants, and each of them, have failed to pay Atkinson any amounts whatsoever.'
28. 'Atkinson is informed and believes and thereon alleges that BBE, Melissa, Paul and each of the Defendants made said promise to pay without the intention performing on said promise to pay.'
29. 'As a direct and proximate result of the fact that Atkinson lent money to BBE Melissa, Paul and each of the Defendants and that at no time whatsoever
has BBE, Melissa, Paul and each of the Defendants ever make even one payment, Atkinson is informed and believes and based on said information and belief herein alleges that BBE, Melissa, Paul and each of the Defendants never intended to perform on said agreement.'
Comment: Kinda cuts to the heart of the credibility question, doesn't it?

Notes from 'Peroff: The Man Who Knew Too Much' (by L.H. Whittemore, 1975, in LA Central Library #364.92 P 453)
Can't guarantee PMS and this particular Peroff are related, but the biographical details in this book and the observed aspects of PMS's 'character' do seem to coincide. Both of PMS's Nevada marriage licenses, list her father as 'Frank Peroff' (her mother is named Leona, but the provided name of 'Ruth' there may have been a protective pseudonym). The chronology also works out, as does the multi-lingual impression PMS conveys.
If this all checks out, then PMS is quite likely ethnically Jewish, as in the book, Frank Peroff is described as a Jewish mobster who roamed with gangs of Germans and Italians in the South Bronx growing up. In his teens he was a nightclub singer who played the trumpet and hung out with gamblers and the showbiz crowd, then joined the Navy at 17 where he learned how to fly planes.
After starting small businesses like beauty shops and a clothing business (which led to a charge of fraud at age 25), he moved into appliances, where he learned how to sell to construction firms (by eliminating competitors through sabotage of their products).
After operating 3 car washes in Washington DC in the mid-1960's, he moved to Orlando, Florida where he graduated to higher-stakes financial crime.
As a 'con artist' known as 'Miami Frank' he reportedly passed millions of dollars worth of bad paper such as counterfeit traveler's checks and stolen bonds and stock certificates, largely to mob-connected construction interests who needed to show assets to secure bank loans.
Frank Peroff was a large man, over 6 feet tall and weighing over 250 lbs. He targeted institutions rather than individuals, including the Mafia, international governments, and even the Vatican. With a personal fleet of 8 planes, he shuttled mob figures and stolen loot from country to country. His financial links extended to construction of hotels in England, France and Gambia, a hospital in Rome, and a shipyard elsewhere in Italy.
At various times, he shuttled his family from Montreal to Spain and then to Rome by 1973. At that time, they were described as a daughter born @1961, a son born @1966, and the youngest daughter, of unstated age (note: PMS was born in Canada on (personally identifying information removed)). Frank himself was multi-lingual, speaking at the least, English and Yiddish, and it is likely the traveling immersed various languages as partial 'mother tongues' in his young children.
He started to get too big, from about the time he tried to take control of a Hollywood film production company then blackmail the Zambian Government by threatening its currency, and ended up caught in an undercover DEA operaton involving heroin importation described as being financed by President Nixon financier Robert Vesco.
A Senate Subcommittee chaired by 'Scoop' Jackson of Washington, questioned him on matters of transactions involving stolen financial documents and mob-connected international drug cartels. In the book an article on the matter was described as having been printed in the NY Times in late November 1973 by Wallace Turner. The book itself, may have been an attempt to explain his side of the story, at a time when he feared for his life from government and mob assassins.
Repost (from another thread);
Who are her advisors, and is she still in contact with David Resnick of 'Action Productions' (who is listed a partner of Paul Pastore at Barbie Bridges Enterprises, and whose name is in databases as also tied to the LA Scientology HQ at 6331 Hollywood Blvd)??
Consider this reported connection, between Patricia L. Glazer (her reported attorney), Sam Mudie (Patricia's husband) and assest tied to Scientology:

Land Under Lease By State Was Owned by Scientologists
When Don Williams purchased the Ma`alaea property in August 1994, the seller was a branch of the Church of Scientology, which had had an ownership interest in at least part of the land dating back to the early 1980s.
In the late 1970s, two of the three separate tax map parcels that now make up the area were purchased for $700,000 by Ma`alaea Landing, Inc.,
which planned to develop a condominium building on the land. Architect Ormond Kelley drew up plans for the building, which was dramatically different from the rather architecturally nondescript structures that line the Ma`alaea coast. In the words of the Maui County Planning Department, the architectural style for the development represented 'a significant departure from the contemporary character of proposed and newly constructed adjacent buildings... However, considering the building's strategic location, it is felt that the building's romanticized pseudo-victorian character is a softer, more harmonious statement in sympathy with the existing character of buildings within the Ma`alaea Small Boat Harbor.'
Ma`alaea Landing, Inc., appears to have run into financial trouble. In 1981, title to the land was transferred to Pioneer Federal, which held the mortgage. According to the conveyance tax stamps, Pioneer Federal paid $325,000 for the land.
In November 1983, three individuals, all giving addresses in California, purchased the property from Pioneer Federal for $350,000, of which $262,500 was financed by Pioneer Federal on a three-year balloon note. The three individuals are Patricia L. Glaser (identified as the wife of Samuel H. Mudie); James S. Schreier (unmarried), and Marc M. Seltzer (unmarried). This transaction appears to represent the earliest involvement of the Church of Scientology, or its members, in the ownership record for the Ma`alaea property.
In February 1984, Glaser, Schreier, and Seltzer conveyed the property to Oceanfront Associates, which also assumed the mortgage held by Pioneer Federal. Oceanfront Associates, according to documents at the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, is a limited partnership formed in 1984 to 'develop ... resort condominium projects' on the island of Maui. The two general partners in this firm were identified as Gray Productions, a Hawai`i corporation whose nature of business is described as real estate development in its filings with the DCCA; and COFE, Inc. The DCCA filing of COFE identified it as a California corporation whose president, vice president, secretary, and chief financial officer were all Samuel H. Mudie (Glaser's husband). Identified as a limited partner was an Oklahoma corporation, FSO Oklahoma Investments Corp. Signing the partnership papers for FSO OI were David Cusworth and Ellen Reynolds, identifying themselves as 'directors and attorneys in fact' for the corporation.
Not only did Oceanfront Associates assume the Pioneer Federal mortgage,
it executed another mortgage for $775,000 in favor of the Church of Scientology, Flag Service Organization, Inc., whose state of incorporation was said in 1984 to be Florida. In 1987, the Pioneer Federal mortgage was itself assigned to the Church of Scientology, Flag
Service Organization.
Two years later, Oceanfront Associates assigned its title to FSO Oklahoma Investments Corp., the limited partner in the firm.
The Ma`alaea parcel owned by Williams originally contained two other tax map parcels in addition to the two mentioned above. After a long quiet title case, ownership of both ended up in 1992 in the hands of FSO Oklahoma Investments Corp. These two parcels were later consolidated, so that now Williams' land consists of three separate tax parcels.
Documents filed in September 1994, when Williams executed his lease with the state of Hawai`i, show that the Church of Scientology, Flag Service Organization, Inc., released the two mortgages it held on the property in October 1993.
On August 4, 1994, Williams paid $1.35 million, for which he received a warranty deed from FSO Oklahoma Investments covering the Ma`alaea land.
Four weeks later, on September 1, the state executed the 30-year lease with Williams.
Williams was asked if he had an option to purchase the land from the Scientologists at the time he was negotiating with the state to lease the property. 'No comment,' was his reply.
