<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nEarlier his week, a good lady in Reno, Nevada contacted us when she was scammed by our old friend James Michael Waldby. We busted him almost two years ago<\/a> when he scammed a Motorcycle Club out of some money. Last year<\/a>, he scammed a VFW post in Meridian, Mississippi out of a few hundred bucks when he told them that he’d been kicked off of a train because of his “service dog” and he was stranded. The lady in Reno, whose business is helping veterans, tells us that he’s upped his scam – traveling with a “service dog” and in a wheel chair.<\/p>\n Waldby told the lady that he was on his way to Tucson, Arizona from Seattle, Washington, but that he’d suffered a heart attack on the train and they took him to the hospital in Reno and dumped him off with no money. She put him up in a hotel, but then started checking on him which led her here. She called the police, but, you know, because he’s technically a veteran, they were reluctant to anything about him. He’s still flashing this obviously forged DD214 claiming to be an Army Master Sergeant, retired from the 3rd Ranger Battalion with two Distinguished Service Crosses, two Silver Stars, two Bronze Stars, and four Purple Hearts;<\/p>\n The truth is very different. He was in the Army for a little more than a year back in 1989\/1990 and his only award was the highly prized Army Service Ribbon. He was discharged as a Private;<\/p>\n Last year, he explained to his victims that we spelled his last name wrong and that’s why we didn’t have his correct records. Well, his brother and sister have both been here and they spelled their last names the same way that we spelled it.<\/p>\n He’s supposed to be leaving Reno soon, the veterans’ charity cut off his hotel expenditures, so if you’re between Reno and Tucson, you should be on the look out for him, especially if you’re at the VFW or American Legion. He scams in small amounts of money because prosecutors don’t find it sexy enough to prosecute the cases against him. You’d think that forgery is sexy, but apparently not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"James](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/James-Michael-WaldbyDD-214a-224x300.jpg\")
