Where is he in Texas?

I knocked on a door last year and got a bow back on a scam for a guy.

I know lots of cops here.

A talk with his commanding officer might help if he is a marine.

Too bad some people have to be that way.

Hope everything works out for you.

X2 What wingnut said about a chat with his commanding office, if he is really a marine. It can work wonders.

I doubt at all that this guys is a Marine... if so... then he needs some "counselling"...

Gents,

I got scammed, too. Because he was "shipping out" is sent him an inexpensive bow. I trusted that he as military and would not be a scum bag.

Having said that, we have his address. He is only 200 miles from me.

Who wants to pay him a visit, with me?

We can stay at my brother's house, for the night, and then go see him.

Any takers?

As  said on stickbow.com if you were ripped off and it involves the USPS you can file/sign a complait against this person and if they get many complaints the postmaster genral Lawenforcement brach will investigate for theft/fraud

Don't make yourselves liable if there is a legal remedy. These dirtbags aren't worth an assault complaint, and trust me, if HE is on the end of anything that he can retaliate about, he will.
Active duty recon Marine, huh? Must be stationed at that big Marine base in Irving (there isn't one).
Scammers are the scum of the earth, but they aren't worth a warm bucket of spit, let alone getting yourself in a jam.

I appreciate the offers but I don't need the arrows. Yes I did ship through USPS who else went through them? Maybe those whose been scammed can all file grievances on this guy. This  guy makes me sick how many people he has gotten to! The adress that's posted is the adress I shipped to.

from the ***********.....

Just wanted to let everybody know that I contacted the Irving, Texas police dept. I sent him my bow, and he was supposed to send me his bow. This guy is in jail now. He had felony warrants against him. From what the police are telling me, this guy was into a lot of illegal stuff. Fake military ID. I guess you know that he wasn't in the military? Using a different social security #, etc. The problem now is, the post office seems to have lost my bow. And, I'm in the process of trying to get that back. Just thought I'd let everyone know. And I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! James

Sent him a quiver for free after he said he was an active marine.Said he was sending me a surprise gift which I did not ask for.Have not seen anything yet.No big deal to me but guess his word is no good.Hate that some good folks here got scammed,BUT remember,what he does will come back to him with interest.

Guess I feel lucky after reading this.  I had offered to take a vet hunting on the "trade a hunt" forum and rick jones responded.  He was supposed to stay with me in mid November but never showed.  (I guess he was in jail).  Glad I didn't open my home up to him.
