Be careful! RPF Scammer revealed!

[BrittanySligar]

He now has a chipin for Nevada too, says expired, but his old florida billboard link now points here.
Can Chip-in be notified? Is there a way to get his paypal address? Can a hold be put on his funds?

BAAAHAHAH He forgot to change his florida username! FAIL!

Read through this thread and the thread I linked to.

I read through both threads, and it appears the evidence is that he has an IP address match to another poster?

Way more than that.
Fake facebook pages, accounts bumping eachother's threads, a billboard project which never happened, same IP address between two accounts both promoting scam fundraising... it's boring, but if you really want to know it all, you have to read this whole thread and the two threads linked in the OP.

He ripped images off of Google for his fake profiles... his RPF accounts are new as well as his Facebook with only 1 photo. He never provided any proof and he wanted to drive people to a caucus which is the most ridiculous idea, since everyone has to be there at the same time, so he can take maybe 6 people...?

Also his account name "Ron Jones" is used on the Florida and Nevada chipin projects, but are were pitched by different fake 'people'.

His Facebook said he lived in Florida, but his photo was from an article of a Ron Paul supporter forced to take down Ron Paul signs from his home in New Jersey, while he was trying to get money to drive people around Maine. None of it made sense.

Plus other stuff, you just need to read the threads.

yeah. i saw that, he copied a photo of a New Jersery supporter and had a duplicate IP address. Once he learns to get a picture we can't track, and an IP spoofer then mauybe we will be fooled then?

I'll donate to a chipin to sue him. Anyone up for it?

Well, hopefully this is a $500 lesson for the forum to vet every chipin before a penny goes in.

Ha, I bet any minute now, a dude with a fresh screenname shows up and offers up a chipin for this!

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

I've never donated to any chip-in for any "project", ever. Too many people got snookered here in 2008 with that phony race car.

[PauliticsPolitics]

Hey guys, he PMed me:

Yea, he sent me the same thing, from a fresh account.
It looks like he wants to come clean.
I'd still be wary.

Maybe confirm he has returned all the money first? His new account could be for a chip-in to cover the Paypal fees to return all the money.

Paypal shouldn't charge the fee if he returns it as a personal transaction.

 

[cstarace]

Way to give 16 year olds a bad name.

 

[squarepusher]

yeah,. everyone should file a paypal dispute immediately if they donated on their accounts.

If the kid did come clean, then I give him some respect, let him make up by returning the money and saving some face. If hes a serial scammer then he should be cstrated

He says he will make a thread apologizing once his account is approved; and return all the money. Hopefully that all happens.

My post was a joke, you didn't need to be so technical.

 

[Kregisen]

I just want to point out if I was caught scamming people for money, I would say I was a 16 year old kid who didn't mean to do it either to get out of fraud charges.

Yeah, this. His story doesn't even make sense. He wanted to help so he made a fake Facebook account and a second profile? Seems deliberate and orchestrated to me.
