Ways to spot a scammer

Here is an interesting article:

http://www.doughroller.net/personal-finance/how-to-know-instantly-your-being-conned/

Also, the subject of this blog met his girlfriend online, another HUGE spot for scammers, as well as Craig's List.  We believe it was harmony.com and moved to Florida on her dime and lives in her house and spends her money, the entire time while married and having a "friend" in Idaho, scamming them all at once.  He is violent and can be dangerous, beware!!

It is entirely possible that he lists himself on these sites with different names, locations, etc.  May be possibly looking for his next live in, in another state or city.  They run and run and run.

This is a GREAT article!!

Remember the more information we have, the more effective we will be.  If you have any links or sites that you met Ron on, please pass along!!  It can all be done anonymously.

Any More Ideas

If you have any more web sites that we aren't aware of or any "stories" you'd like to share (anonymously) email them to ronjohnsonscarmartist@hotmail.com and if we have your permission, we will cut and paste just the story, no names or anything.

It can also be done in the comment section.

The more that is out there, the more people are aware, and the more likely we are to catch the (believed to be) abusive con man.

Information Gathering

There continues to be a flow of information coming in on possible scams.  It is believed that he is using the front of being an "independent" broker who charges "fees" for being "independent".

Be smart, look it up, if it's too good to be true....trust your gut.

The more information out there, the more of a chance of helping others.  That is the point of all of this, is to help people and to have a safe place where people can make an informed decision.

Con artists are good at what they do, true business people do not call you repeatedly (6-10 times) and have all the documentation to support it.  If you feel you're being conned, ask for their license number.

The Con Artist Ron Johnson

Web Page

Just found a web page, wow, those conned and scared just keep coming.  If you are a victim and you are keeping quiet because you are scared, please know that this is a "safe place" the ronjohnsonscamartist@hotmail.com is a safe place too!  We have to assume that at any point in time the information will "disappear" (what does someone who has no job and scam do all day?? especially a cry baby scam artist), but he can't get rid of an email or a community.  Know that the community of "scammed" who are exchanging information is at about 30 people.

If you have any information please share!!

How to beat a scam artist

He will give his best shot to have

1) this removed
2) filthy liar removed
3) whocallsme removed
4) ripoff report removed
5) scam checker removed

Good luck with the Idaho repository.  He will do this because that is what scam artists do, they use the scare tactic.  They threaten you with law suits and the general balance of your life because they are con artists.  He will cry for anyone who will listen and anyone who is afraid of the trouble he brings.  SO, we will go on and put our disclaimer out there.

We are posting information that is out there, we are giving our opinion (which we are allowed to do...regardless of what a con artist says) and we are warning people.  We already know for a FACT that we saved one person from being scammed, we are hoping to save more.  We aren't doing anything wrong, if we didn't have something to write about and warn people about, we wouldn't feel this compassionate.  We feel like the IRS would love to know how he "makes his money".  He's a bad dude, he beats people (recorded on Idaho repository, Nevada and FL records) he threatens people  and he scares people. This is not intended to cause him any harm (quite ironical that we would be concerned with causing him harm)  it is intended to warn people of a current scam occurring and the possibility of a historically violent man becoming violent again.

It is not intended to put his girlfriend, family or friends in any precarious position, they have the choice to be involved with him if they choose and if they think differently, they certainly are entitled to that opinion, just as we are our opinion.

We are good people, and being good people, will try and avoid any undocumented unreasonable comments, but rather just "tell our story" and we are entitled to that and we are entitled to "tell our story" anyway we choose.
