Scamming War Veterans

[stuartcox]

I cannot believe to what levels some people degrade!
This scumbag was living in my town!
Just a shame that I, together with my mates couldn't get our hands on him...!
I'm so angry!

It makes me angry any time I see seniors being scammed out of their money, but especially so with vets. :mad:

Look, we have people who will fake awarding of the Purple Heart just so they can scam disabled veterans benefits from the nation!

If people are willing to do that for money, then there's really no degree of depravity that some will sink to in putting money above all else.

A nice small jail cell with unsavory roomates with certain fetishes might provide a rewarding coda to their enterprises -- certainly well earned! Would anyone be willing to donate a broom with long stick so they can keep their cell nice and tidy?

Cheers,

Ken

They just caught a guy/company in tampa charging thousands of dollars for services which are free for Vet's.
He is still out of jail fighting it.
This guy really pisses me off.

Sounds to me like its yet another holiday firm collapse rather than a scam. The fact that the police are not involved is a pretty big clue.
