1needunow is them - back to using photos of derrick.

toni_the_tiger_1989 - it's them. notice the distinctive use of ":]" -- they aren't even smart enough to adjust their writing. basically until future notice do not trust ANY profiles from Tennessee until you videochat with the person.

superbottom91 is just the accomplice of "real4unow" -- those are his actual pictures. same pics as "boyswiththeirtoys" be careful guys or you're going to get scammed. to report fraud on these two, please contact odearfraud@gmail.com - we are collecting declarations to submit to the ausa for the eastern district of tennessee.

BEWARE: superbottom91 is just the boyfriend of our scammer - that's his actual picture. DO NOT TRUST THESE GUYS. They are working together and will scam you.

Shakota - this is not the way our criminal justice system works. The judge will not come visit houseboy. And even if during trial houseboy was used as evidence, it doesn't make a bit of difference because the predicate crime is unchanged. Just because people have been stupid (i.e. sending money to someone on HB) doesn't make it any less of a crime. Shakota - do you have actual experience with the legal system that would lead you to believe otherwise? I'd be interested to hear, simply because I am a member of the legal system and from what I see and have seen, your understanding of how this works is incorrect.

Here's what you need to know: derrick and cody have scammed over $1500 that we know of. A lot of people here like to play armchair lawyer, and there is a lot of misinformation. There are plenty of good employers and good houseboys on this site -- and they need to band together to stop the scammers. Unfortunately, the people in this thread are defending scammers and/or saying things about the law that are untrue and encourage people to try and run scams. What other posters are saying about "you need to have a job offer in writing" or "this website is prostitution" are false. They are dangerously misinformed about the law. I have previously, in this thread, cited exact title of the US code that applies. The law forbids a "scheme or artifice to defraud" - I will explain again: 18 U.S.C. § 1341 provides (in relevant part): "Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises" So for example, when Cody/Derrick omit that they are engaged, and nonetheless express an interest in leaving Tennessee to move in with someone for purposes of obtaining gas money, that is a "scheme or artifice to defraud." (Artifice means a lie). It also constitutes a "false or fraudulent pretense" -- the pretense is that they are interested in someone. Promises that they are driving. In the case of one person, they expressly told him that money was needed for car repair. " transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, or television communication in interstate or foreign commerce, any writings, signs, signals, pictures, or sounds for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice" So by either requesting (or receiving) moneygrams, they are in violation of this statute, since moneygram is interstate wire. Also, since they've used the internet, which is an interstate wire transmission, it also qualifies for anything that was paid for on credit cards and delivered to them. "shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both." Long story short, if you are a pretending to be a houseboy and lie to someone to get them to send you things, you are running afoul of this statute. Yes, it CAN BE very hard to prove -- but with Derrick/Cody, that is not the case, as they have scammed multiple people and told multiple lies in writing that will come back to haunt them. I cannot provide direct legal advice or represent anyone here, but if you have questions I will do my best to point you in the right direction. be safe everyone

What are you even talking about? I dont recall anyone saying anything about you, dcstud1987. And as a second point, we are only here to WARN other people. We have been in touch with the US Attorney for the Eastern District of TN, Chattanooga branch. We are not here to get anything from C&D.

Jbatemore's account was created on November 13, 2011. It's just the same person trying to scare people into not testifying against him. Jbatemore: If you're even telling a shred of truth, don't ever have any of those lawyers represent you. They're idiots and likely committing malpractice.

Facebook Profile same person, new scam, actually using his own pictures probably so he can get verified to try and better the scam.

You are incorrect and I would strongly suggest you contact a lawyer if you are contemplating doing similar things. That "lie" is fraud - fraudulently induced "willingness" is not real willingness, and the law does not recognize it as such. § 1343. FRAUD BY WIRE, RADIO, OR TELEVISION Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, or television communication in interstate or foreign commerce, any writings, signs, signals, pictures, or sounds for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

He is the consummate scammer and he has an accomplice - his fiance. I have spent the last few days on the phone with people that he has scammed, it appears as though there are quite a few. I have found at least one person that is willing to go to Tennessee to testify against them, so they can potentially face multiple counts of federal wire fraud (violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1343 ). That means that every single time someone sent them money or purchased something for them on a credit card, it is a separate violation of the wire fraud statute. DO NOT BE EMBARRASSED TO COME FORWARD. This is their gambit - that if they attempt to shame you, you won't come forward and they'll get away with it. What they are doing is wrong, preying on those that are emotionally weak. (Say what you will about houseboy being potentially exploitative -- fraud is fraud). odearfraud@gmail - please let us know your story and contact information. Justice will be found.
