*&%#@% Con Man

[Idaho]

This has nothing to do with the Nomad. My youngest daughter just turned 18 in June and her boyfriend introduced her to his 'employer'. The employers name is Jason, well Jason offered my daughter a job, gave her a "company" cell phone to take his calls and he offered to help her with her credit. Now you have to know that my wife was already helping her with that. She had gotten Kate a credit card from Wal-Mart with a $300 limit so that she could make a few purchases and pay it off to establish a credit history. Jason had her sign for "company credit cards" along with him. He also had her sign a loan with him that he assured her was going to be paid by the "Company". Only thing, there is no company. Jason has a hyphenated last name and goes by either last name when it suits his needs. Well, credit cards showed up in our mailbox at home in two of his aliases and her boyfriends name. That was the tip off that something was very wrong. We found out that Jason is into our daughter for over $25,000!!!!!!!!!! She finally figured out that he is a con man and went to the police. Thank God. We started looking into this guys record and he has a string of bad debts and judgements against him that would make a normal person nervous. Now the mail brings new nightmares almost daily. Credit card and loan rejections that Kate did not apply for. I told this guy not to hurt my daughter. He did not listen. Now I'm going to find a way to put him in prison where he belongs.

Talk to your kids about the value of their signature before they turn 18. I never would have figured on something like this happening.

That totally sucks ID.... what happened to the days when you could actually trust people?

Hard to look at the bright side now.... but he could have sucked her into some illegal activity... or worse...

I hope he gets the jail time he deserves.

Keep us posted.

No doubt. There are so many evildoers out in the world now. Man, that's terrible!!

[bluetongue]

Idaho, I see you have more self control than I would of in that situation. I do believe he would of gotten a good ole' Texas ass kick-en if it where my family member. Hope he does some jail time and shares his cell with a very large lonely man.

[beezer]

And to think the law protects those kind of people too

[flightdoc]

You are a patient man.....I would have advised the scumbag to take a loan out to pay the doctors bill!!!!!!

[dogdoc]

Good advice learnt the hard way ID, THX

[socwkbiker]

That sucks ID. I have to agree with a few others that you are very patient. I would still be chasing him around threatening to cut appendages off.

I also hope he gets prison time.

[dragon57]

Dag'on !! where did you say this guy lives?

[unwind2]

That is wild and scary. Hope you can get her name untangled from his. You say the boyfriend was working for him first. Did the boyfriend also sign for credit cards and loans? Was he in on the con or had he been conned himself? I'd want to wring the boyfriend and the 'Jason' dudes neck.

I hope it's now "EX-Boyfriend"!

It is now an Ex-boyfriend, thank God for that one too. The boyfriend still has faith in Jason (by the way, that is not his real name) and thinks that Kate is the turncoat. That should tell you how slick this guy really is but there is a lot to that part of the story and I don't want to type that long.

Nothing would give me more pleasure than to take this joker on but I have a lot of help from local law enforcement that would frown on that. I'm a Chaplain for the Idaho State Police and for the local Blue Knights chapter. Lots of friends that want this guy as bad as I do. Nice to have friends.

We will get him. I'm actually thinking that there may be a postal inspector in his immediate future. He rented a box at a U-Haul store and has fraudulent applications for Kate going to his box. We know because Kate rented a box there as well and this stuff started showing up in her box that she did not apply for. Things like loan and credit card rejections. I'm thinking federal prison.

Appreciate your support.

I hear they don't use "lube" in the federal prisons.........karma always gets you.

[unwind2]

IDaho.....sounds like you got all the right wheels turning.

I have done some travel nursing and while in Vermont I was invited and took a ride with the Blue Knights. They were very nice .....made me feel right at home.

Fed is too cush.....

[socwkbiker]

That woud be a whole new world of being smited!

Man, I cannot believe that there are men who prey on Females this way.This is as low as it gets,If this where my Child I would hunt him down and......I feel for you,hang in there.

I'm no lawyer, just a lowly programmer, but wouldn't that qualify as some kind of mail fraud? Not a very tough penalty, but when you stack them up based on each instance, the kid should expect to go away for quite some time.

Problem is, he'll declare bankruptcy or something like that, and get off scott free.

People like that have no fear of God whatsoever.

Update, local detectives have delivered three felony cases to the prosecutors office. I called the prosecutor to give him a heads up and fill him in on things that are not in those files. Like actions pending against Mr. Dirtbag in adjacent counties. And how much Dirtbag put my daughter into debt, we are still trying to resolve that mess, he assures me that he is going to go for as much of a bond as possible to keep this guy in jail. I should have good news by the end of next week. This is not like those cop shows on TV where someone thinks about a warrant and one appears in the next moment. I'm telling you the wheels of justice turn very slowly.

Good luck Idaho. I admire your patience. I would be very tempted to take matters into my own hands.

[Idaho]

I have to tell you Wolfman, my first reaction was one of a vision of extreme violence against this guy. The thing that keeps me from it is my work with the Blue Knights and State Police as as Chaplain and my preaching the Gospel. Violence would go against my own words and would let down a LOT of good people who look up to me. Wearing my Blue Knights colors also keeps me below the speed limit for the same reason. Sort of like riding with a bill board on my back. That said, the Marine Corps Drill Instructor in me sure can cook up some great punishments.

Sometimes the justice system can really piss you off. My father-in-law had an employee embezel around $80,000 from him. He was in charge of ordering parts and the guy ordered a bunch or parts on my father-in-laws accounts and then started his own business about 2 miles away. Then my father-in-law got put on credit hold and had to declare bankruptcy. He had all the evidence and when he got to court the judge just dismissed the whole case and the guy got off scott free. He swears the judge was paid off considering all the evidence he had.....even letters that the creep sent out to customers saying the business was moving locations etc. My father-in-law said when they first went into the court room the defendant leaned over to his wife and said "don't worry this will all be over real quick"

[Idaho]

I would think that in a case like your father-in-laws that he could have taken the evidence to the state AG's office to file a complaint and get that case reopened.

He actually did send it in to the AG office and they didn't do anything with it. which really surprised MY dad because he is a retired special agent for the criminal investigation division of the US treasury and knows a lot about that kind of stuff. I think after all the work and seeing no results my father-in-law just gave up. I think there must be some loop hole which might be protecting the guy. Maybe if he had authorization to order parts maybe LEGALLY he did nothing wrong kind of like a general power of attorney. I don't really know all the ins and outs of the case. All I know is my father-in-law was bitter about it for many years and is trying to get over it since he see's no help in the justice system.

[Idaho]

That really bites.

that is soooo wrong!!! Sorry about your dad-in-law!!

[cactusjack]

I know this goes on everywhere, but it's real hard for me to see this happening in your little corner of the world. I have relatives up there, as I've told you and I can remember when none of my cousins had house keys because they never had to lock their doors. I remember my aunt leaving her purse on the seat of the car with the windows down, and it would still be there when she came back.

I'm really sorry your daughter had to get such a rough lesson in life 101. I hope you and she can nail this scumbag and put him where he belongs. Be grateful that this was all that happened to her. Too often, this sort of thing brings tragic consequences. Good luck.
