You can't pursue them and put them behind bars because he didn't steal anything from you. You gave him money, he took it. Never send money. I disagree with you. He DID steal money from me because he stated the money he needed would go toward gas to drive here. He also agreed to drive here to take on the duties of a houseboy. He was fraudulent in stating what the money was to be used for. He was fraudulent in stating that he would drive here. He was fraudulent when he sent numerous texts stating he was on his way. The Law's definition of fraud is: intentional deception, so everything he did fits the definition. With someone else posting a similar experience with him, he's become habitual in performing fraud. To my knowledge, various forms of fraud are illegal in every state and when it crosses state lines, it falls into Federal jurisdiction. It almost sounds like you're defending him & his actions. I don't doubt you've done the same to others.

BEWARE of carl1014 as he scammed money from me for "travel expenses" and never showed up. I don't doubt that he's done this to others and welcome information from other victims. He even went so far as to email me a photo of his Louisiana drivers license and ID, which made me believe he was a legitimate candidate as a houseboy. I was given bank account information to deposit money to as well. Yes, I was suspicious that the photos on his account were done professionally, but he also had emailed me photos that were NOT done professionally, i.e. the type taken in a home (photos attached). Why don't or can't we pursue these types of individuals and put them behind bars or find some way for them to make restitution or do community service to help other types of victims, i.e. tornadoes, floods, etc?
