I commend everyone who got scammed for doing the legal route. But honestly I'd have banned together and payed him a visit. Even if you show up and he "doesn't" have the money. I gaurantee you can "make" him sell his car and everyone could be repayed.

Hell his car is really nice I'll give you $10grand for it. That should get everyone repayed shouldn't it??

Well, I just finished reading this entire thread... and I have to know if there is any update? Apart from that I am just speechless. :huh: Good luck guys and great job keeping your cool and going the legal route!

i wa hoping tat by the time i read all 10 pages, would have some word on this guy and if his scamming days are over. i feel you, but in my opinion, some one should fin a way to scam him and for a lot!!!
like they say in spanish
"ladron que robra ladron, 100 anos de perdon"
i guess the best non literal translation is "thief who robs thief, 100 years of relief" actually it the last part literally should be 100 years of forgiveness.

on the subject of scamming my mom got scammed out of money for a tv buy a black man when i was a kid. what got me mad was that he gave a pity story about his family, had the tv wrapped up with fake guarantee pamplets. she talked to my grandma to pitch in to collect the 80 bucks, took the tv home and it was a busted screen and no buttons. i hope that guy got it in the end.
but the wierd part and now that i have been through some stuff this passage makes sense
" the best revenge is complete forgiveness"
why? nothing is worse when you have concience(sp?) for what you did and some one has the heart to forgive you. makes one feel even worse.

But i completely understand, justice has to be done. he has to reap what he sows. any way keep us posted. i sure would like to know that his days are numbered.
good luck to all who have been scammed, but like i said he needs to be scammed in the hardest of ways.

ugggh...get em'

Sorry guys, nothing yet. I get emails and snail mail from time to time from the FBI that say that they are aware of my case and are working on it, and to please be patient... I don't really know what else to do, he has a Myspace page, go friend him and spam him, it appears that he still checks it... I tried to add him as a friend, he won't acknowledge it...

damnnn its ashame that something like this is still going on...with so much relevent information to this guy, i'm surprised nothing has happened yet...

WOW I thought this would have been taken care of by now. I'm so damn pissed for your loss man. :mad:

whats his myspace address?

whats his myspace address?

It's a couple pages back, but it doesn't matter... he has made it private so you have to be one of his "friends" to see it! I'm sure anyone who hits him up to be friends he is going to suspect them of being from Nabisco and he will deny! To bad they always do that... he looked like a real tool though.

not sure, so to be sure is this his car or not.

if thats his car its amazing how a aps intercooler becomes APC. The Utec becomes utech

oooook, wow, let me start by saying this guy is a dumbass. and thats about all i need to say, good luck with getting your stuff bro, i hate thieves and his nuts should be cut off and fed to dogs

i dont get it, if he is selling the car, how did he scam? did you buy this car or just the parts on the car?

People, this is an ancient matter at this point (please look at the original post dates).
Do NOT post in this thread unless you are an involved party and/or have an actual update.

Here is a quick way someone interested could find out if this is his car... here is the vin, listed right on the ebay auction: JF1GD29692G506836 I don't know if this will help any of you guys looking to get money back, but if the car is registered the vin might help locate him.

if you guys want i can take that vin and locate where that vin is reg at.

wow thats crazy

did you try calling the local police department to go after his address that you mailed the certified check too?

oh by the way ^^^ is what worked for me

Actually, everything from that car has been stolen, EVERYTHING. Oh and 10 grand :lol: ?!? Try over 50 grand. He's been doing this for years.

and I just got mail from Columbus FBI

For everyone that had been scammed by John Kellum, a Federal Grand Jury in Oxford, Mississippi indicted him today on a thirteen-count indictment. I received a phone call this evening from F.B.I. Special Agent Jay Burton informing me of the news. This is long overdue and I am sorry it took so long for this to come about. Thanks to each and everyone that supplied information in this case helping bring about the indictments. As soon as I learn he has been sentenced, I will let you know. The court system is slow, so be patient. Thanks again.


Sgt. Gary Moore
Columbus Police Department (Ms)

I wonder if the FBI signed up onto his myspace page and posted it. :devil:

Good news!!! Sgt. Gary Moore contacted me about John Kellum:

"I was just notified by F.B.I. Special Agent Jay Burton that John Kellum was arrested this evening at 3:30 p.m. in Gulfport, MS. He is currently being held in the Stone County Jail (MS) awaiting an initial appearance on a 13-count indictment tomorrow in the Southern District Federal Court. They will set him a court date and bond.

YEAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS :banana:

Good news indeed, please update the thread as you get more info.

^^^ Will do, I wonder if I can give him a call at the jail? I just want to rub it in his face that I told him this would happen...

YES!! I want to see this mf'er in jail for a lonnnnnnng time...

Woot, about time. This scammer should have no bond (get out of jail card). Glad to see that guy got what he deserved.

sucks to be him. how long is he going to be put away?

congrats fellas. I'm truely happy for yall.

Glad to hear he is getting what he deserves. Hopefully he'll spend many wonderful, rectum-torturing years in prison. Go Kharma!

Keep us updated! Hopefully they'll reimburse you guys for your losses?

Yea, the only question left is if you guys will ever get your $$ back. I would ask the court officers to get pictures of him behind bars for ya. Then you could just leave a message on his myspace page...lol

:)

Everybody who lost money to this guy needs to contact the agent in charge of the investigation. When the crook is sentenced and eventually released, his terms of probation/supervised release will require that he pay restitution to all of his victims.

Also, when he is charged and convicted, the greater the number of victims, the higher the sentence he will receive. ALL victims must call the case agent and advise him of their loses.

Yay, so after 12 pages and a hella long time I stumbeld arcross this thread to see it did end up in him going to jail, now lets hope you guys get your money back!

Props to NASIOC members for banding together and actually putting someone in the real world in jail! This should be a note to all scammers that NASIOC dosnt put up with anything and executes it to the fullest extent! Good Job guys the biggest part of the battle is over.:disco:

congrats, hopefully the legal system will work something out to benefit anyone who's been scammed by this guy

As an active police officer thats sees this crap every day, i can only say one thing, i hope he gets his sxxx pushed in and spends the rest of his days being someones bitch and skamming other inmates for cigs.

And you beleived him right?:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

correct me if im wrong but... either hes out of jail or has internet at the jail but how does he log onto his myspace? It says Last Login: 7/19/2007 isn't today the 20th? Is that his myspace? I maybe totally wrong and a dip but I hope I pointed something out. reading this thread made my blood boil lksjlaksjdglaksjdglaksj dHLDKJFLSKDJF.


whats up?:confused: :huh:

hope eveyrone gets their money back

whopes, i re-read he was arrested 7/03/07 he must've had his sentence and out of jail already.

Or he's out on bail.

Most likely bail. Trial will take months to happen.

I live in Memphis :devil: want me to find him:disco: ?

I have read this entire thread, and I MUST say, that this is VERY bad advice.

Show up at his door?

What if the f$cker has a .50 cal rifle? Or an AR-15?

Is this really worth A) Your life or B) Going to priosn over?

Seriously, persue legal action immediately.

Don't be a dipstick and get hurt or injure him!

This thread would CERTAINLY be all the evidence needed to prove you were the assailant.


Also: What means was it shipped by?

If it was not shipped the USPS, that's NOT mail fraud. It's just fraud. Internet fraud, perhaps as well.

Do you have PROOF that this is the motor he sold you? I.E., photos he emailed, or a signed document with the vin/serial number of the motor?

If you do, this is an open and shut case.

Contact your local attorney general, and see what recourse you have. This guy is likely to have a history of ripping folks off.

If all else fails, think of this as an expensive course in the school of life.

Kharma will bite that crook badly. It always happens! :furious:

SOTC

This is Memphis afterall, any of you people know what Memphis is like :devil:

Hope everything works out man, scammers should be castrated with a scythe! GOOD LUCK!

Rock and roll, they got him. :)

Pics? Anyone?

Damn man hope you get your stuff back.

Good to hear the news. I have been following this from the beginning and am glad they caught him. This had to stop. I hope he pays dearly for all the scams he has pulled.

I just read all 300 posts ,, NASIOC has many good people , and if they join together it will be a force not to be messed with ..

:thumbs up for a great resolution !!!!!!

DUde omfg THAT IS SOOOOOO uncooth! Terrible thing to do to someone. 3 thousand is alot of money. Im really sorry this guy did that. Hope you get ur money back. I just bought rims from ebay 2004 STI BBS rims silver for 750. I hope they get here.

Not sure if or how he afforded bail... Either way, haven't heard anything new really. I'll keep everyone posted as I hear things. This should be a sticky as a warning that NASIOC will not tolerate scammers, and members will do everything within the law to pursue you if you do...

I cannot believe it! He logged here on 18 Aug 2007!

I cannot believe it! He logged here on 18 Aug 2007!

that could be investigators looking at his PMs, etc

I just read all 13 pages. Seriously after all this time...the out come seems worth it, better than going to his house and beating him up and leaving with no money....if convicted...what do you think hes lookin at here?

Get real.

A six months to year, max.

Unless he raped someone while stealing their FMIC.

There are people who sodomize babies walking among us after two years in the pen. They still have Gerber on their willies, and are allowed to get out.

There's not room enough for all of the sickos in the world. The govt really could care less if you are dumb enough to trust a dude selling isht on the web forums.

My guess is he cops to fraud or grand theft/nonviolent, and walks out of court with a 2yr suspended sentence. Hopefully, he'll do something again, and end up serving at least a year of that.



SOTC

yah....i agree, plus everyone will get their money back no?

No...

This is true... My car was stollen by a car dealership, not only my car but 65 other cars. I was the first plantiff that could get Alabama to go after the dealership. The ring of theft was broad. After all was said and done the owner got a 17 year suspended sentence and has to pay each of the plantiffs restitutuin. In my case $19,500, since I was the key plantiff I get my restitution first at $99 a month I will die before it is all paid and the others will be SOOL because the dealer will probably die.

They pleaded guilty to 65 counts of "Theft by Deception" a much lesser charge than 65 counts of Grand Theft of Auto.

That was a wonderful day when the police showed up at the dealership with around 30 tow trucks and a toter to impound every car and the office.

The entire story is posted some place in the archives.
