Taking on Scam Artists & Low-life Criminals with a Vengeance

This is an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TOPIC! Please read on:

Okay, so here’s something that ties in with the demise of my girl’s father (who is degenerating badly with late-stage dementia, and is hospitalized with a very dim . For years now— although it was not discovered until the last year or so— he had fallen victim to a series of scam artists and out-and-out criminals who preyed upon his weakening mental state. Every conceivable scam has been perpetrated against him, and consequently the family. I have done what I could to stop these animals, including launching a criminal investigation against: a disgusting low-life attorney in Warrenton, VA; a mortgage scammer in Palm Bay, FL; a Jamaican lottery scammer; a UK lottery con-artist; and two others. I and my girl have spent exhaustive hours speaking with investigators, and I personally have confronted, via telephone, these crooks. They have bilked my girl’s dad out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and have financially imperiled the entire family. His mounting paranoia that his family was “trying to take his money” (a common theme with dementia patients) led him to combat the family at every turn. Instead of embracing those that loved and cared for him, he turned for solace to the crooks because they assured him that they were in his corner, and that his “investments” with them would surely pay dividends in the millions. This once highly intelligent man then proceeded to: sell his car; cash out his insurance policies; clean out bank accounts, including college funds; try to sell at fire sale prices antiques and guns. All for these criminals.

I have managed to track some of these crooks down to a geophysical location, and I have alerted law enforcement (where applicable; most of the scum-bags are operating out of the country!), but to little avail. The lawyer is being handled as is the mortgage con-man, but these others are still roaming free, unfettered to do what they will to the unsuspecting, innocent, and, most sickeningly, the old and infirm. I want this to stop, not just for my family’s sake, but for the sake of other elderly folks who may have fallen victim to this bullshit. Which leads me to this idea:

I have the numbers for 3 of the con artists who keep contacting the family through the patriarch’s mobile phone, a phone which until recently, when he was admitted to the hospital, was never out of his grasp. I have that phone and I have harvested the numbers from the phone, and I have begun to call and barrage them as they have done my family. What I really want to do is post the numbers for these monsters up on FB so that everyone knows the numbers and can join in my campaign to turn the tables on the bad guys. Give them an earful and make them miserable to the point that they have to drop out of sight to avoid further detection and possible apprehension. I know that it is only a band-aid fr a bullet wound, but at this point, any reprieve would be a godsend.

So, that said, here are the numbers. And don’t worry, these are not law abiding folks, and I guarantee you that they will not be calling the police. Those are the last people in the world these animals would call. Do with this info what you will…

1. 716.240.5566: NY number that is either a cloned phone or is a cell acquired in the US and then transported to outside territories. This is the woman who has alternated between investment schemes, and based on family research, has also perpetrated a lottery scam, using different names. I have spoken with this low-life and she is a nasty one. If words were toxic, I’d be dead a hundred times over. Of course, she got what she gave…

2. 334.578.8036. This is another bullshit scammer, claiming to be the American Gaming Board (can you say lottery scam!?!); there is no such entity, and several websites show this bogus name in conjunction with attempted and (sadly!) successful scams. When you call it, a woman speaking ALMOST perfect English answers, but there is no mistaking that she is Indian, if you know what nuances to look for in vocal patterns. Anyway, when you call her, she starts asking why you are calling instead of following a phone protocol, which any legitimate business or agency would follow. There’s the give-away. Then, when you try to keep her talking she becomes angrier and angrier until she makes demands of your name, address, and telephone number (I almost always use *67 to block my name/number when I call). When you refuse to provide that information, she gets really nasty, on the scale of a cobra crossbred with a wolverine. So, so much fun stuff here…

And #3. 702.570.3339. These are the pinnacle pieces of crap! They have been parasitically wending their way through the family savings for 2 years+, according to the research that has been conducted. (And yes, research has been conducted, by the family, Loudoun County (Virginia) Sheriff’s detectives, and a special field agent from the FBI liasing with the Loudoun County Sheriff’s detective corps. This lovely bunch has promised and promised this poor man that he has won $2M and a BMW and that all he needed was to pay an “import fee” and pay for courier service. Given his mental declivity, he did so. Repeatedly, to the tune of over $85K!!! I have spoken to one of the schmucks in this little operation, and he has threatened to kill me, kill my children, and to destroy what is left of the family finances. He is a real peach, and I can guarantee you he is not a US citizen. My military background and my extensive interaction with people from the Indian subcontinent of Asia lets me know that he is either a Northwestern Indian or a Southeastern Pakistani. Of course, he claims to be from the UK, which is rich since his phone number is actually a Las Vegas cloned number. The service provider is YMAX Communications, and the number which I reported to the FCC was originally assigned to a fax number which was originally associated with a business. (kind of makes me wonder about the security and integrity of that particular business… was it Target or Home Depot? Hmmm…).

And for further edification, the criminals who perpetrate this swindles and theft (and it IS theft, theft by deception!!) not only enrich themselves with their ill-gotten gains, but it also believed by some law enforcement agents with whom the family has spoken that these criminals earmark portions of their stolen proceeds to go to fund terrorist groups here and abroad. So this is not just a simple crime. No, no, it has much broader-reaching implications. Despicable and beyond criminal; it’s an atrocity!

So, there you go. Do with this what you will. As for me, I will continue to wage my campaign and drive these people insane until they either come to ground or I can have them apprehended. My logic here is the more I pester them and drive them into a furious lather, the less time they have to spend defrauding and ripping off the elderly. Disgusting bastards…

What do you serve as a side dish with this entree? Strained peas and carrots?

Fucking creepy ass dolls...

What the hell, why not?

rest in peace leelah. you’re gone, but not forgotten

It's always a sad moment when a child resorts to this to escape loneliness and despair. Parents out there: just because you don't understand or necessarily approve of your child/children's preferences in ANYTHING, please do not box them in and shut them down. Explore who and what the child is and what he or she is experiencing. Look past labels and the constraints of a society that trends toward rigidity and cold rejection of anything it can't or won't understand. Embrace your child as the most precious gift you will ever, ever, EVER receive. Hold onto that gift as if it is the only thing that matters in your life, from the time that child is born into your life until the day their hands rest atop your cooling hands. Do not let that brilliant star die, and please stoke the fires of love and humanity that burn as embers in the children. Know love and grace, and live eternally through your children.

For Leelah Alcorn, may you rest in beautiful repose in a greater existence. I never knew you, but as a person and a parent, I feel your absence from this world. My tears flow for what was lost to the world.

And for Leelah's parents: You don't deserve the other children in your life, not if you are so willing to throw one aside to mold your life for the approval of others. May you spend the rest of your petty, pointless lives mired in shame and regret. And I hope your other children abandon you as you did Leelah.

I have held many things that were beautiful, priceless even, but none had ever compared to the woman who gifted me with two beautiful, vibrant, and amazing souls. I could search the universe over twice, and would always come back to her, my Carey, the love of my life, the mother of that which I hold dearest in this world.

"I took a photo of us, mid-embrace. When I am old and alone I will remember that I once held something truly beautiful."

Barkley: 'Brainwashed' blacks hold up success By Breeanna Hare, CNN, cnn.com

Charles Barkley hasn't met a sensitive topic he couldn't dig into, and now he's speaking on what he calls a "dirty, dark secret" in the African-American community.

During an interview with a Philadelphia radio station, Barkley expounded on claim…

Finally! The voice of reason comes out loud and strong. Class distinctions should not be based on race, but rather on intelligence and motivation. And what Mr. Barkley says converts over to what could be labeled as poor white trash. The problem there, in that slice of the white populace, is that swagger and ignorance are lauded, and education and drive are sneered at. This is why trailer parks scare me more than any ghetto ever could... Bravo, Mr. Barkley!

US nurse sues after being forced into quarantine as she returned from treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone By Rosa Prince, New York, telegraph.co.uk

Kaci Hickox accused New York and New Jersey officials of criminalising those risking their lives to fight virus in Africa

I applaud this nurse for her humanitarian efforts, but condemn her for lashing out because of her quarantine. She is a risk to the general welfare and for her to not submit to the quarantine is highly objectionable. I hope they keep her locked up until she proves to be disease-free.

As if this a shock to anyone... I can't believe this trailer trash family ever received any notoriety whatsoever. They epitomize what is wrong with our nation, our population, and families today. They are almost as disgusting, as the garbage that is the Kardashian clan. They all just sicken me.

The War of Greed begins...

I certainly hope that no one tries to memorialize the piece of trash that wrought this tragedy. I feel for his family, but at the same time I also hold them responsible for letting this miscreant monstrosity run loose. And further, if the gun that was used is traced back to a family member, then the owner of that gun should be charged and tried as an accomplice before the fact. No way around it: this kid and his family are just plain garbage. My prayers go out to the innocents in this tragedy, but I hope that the family of the shooter has to endure this special raw pain for the length of eternity.
