Gasbuddy's Jason Toews Anonymously Slams a Competitor in a Troll Attack?

[steven johnson]

Jason Toews, the favorite son of Saskatchewan, is accused of trolling, posting anonymous slander against his busines rivals. Mistaken identity?

One would have thought he had more brains than that. Who would be that stupid as to be traced?

So let’s dig a little deeper, shall we? A quick Google search for the name “Jayco_Sk” shows that a user by the same name has submitted and/or voted up some items on Digg, all related to GasBuddy. Interesting, to say the least, but maybe the guy’s just a big fan. But then at the bottom of the page, there’s a link to a Gowalla user, by the name of Bob Hammond. Looking at the profile, Bob has only had three checkins, nothing related to the mystery at hand, but he does have his Facebook page linked. Clicking on that, we’re taken to a different name entirely – Jason Toews.

So naturally, I’m now curious as to who Jason Toews is. Another Google search leads me to many listings related to GasBuddy, including listing his name as the media contact for, co-founder and CEO of, none other than GasBuddy.
