James Michael Waldby; the scam continues

| October 10, 2015

Waldby_James

Earlier 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 when he scammed a Motorcycle Club out of some money. Last year, 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.

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;

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;

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.

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.

If Uncle Fester had a son…

Doc Savage

That DD 214 is a friggen abortion.

I hope he gets picked up and tossed in the slam for a while….with the right people there to straighten his ass out.

HMCS (FMF) ret.

Looks like he’s snarfed down a few cockmeat sanmmiches in his lifetime… all with t\extra helpings of manmayo!

Airdale USN

Why haven’t they took that DD-214 from him yet, with all the trouble he’s been in.

dc

“WEEBLES WOBBLE BUT THEY DON’T FALL DOWN!”
That’s just the commercial jingle for the toy, wobbly Weebles like him that scam WILL get theirs one day, but it doesn’t hurt to keep their info out there on the Internet, which DOES NOT FORGET!!

You know what pisses me off? Yeah, that and that and that and that and that….Well, I’m not talking about those. What pisses me off is very fat people who use electric carts for the disabled at Wal Mart and other fine retail stores. Some fat people are disabled and would be if they weren’t fat. That’s not an issue. Some people get heavy because their health issues fairly immobilize them and I’m talking not talking about them either. (Hell, if you are otherwise screwed, get as fat as you like!) I’m talking about the slobs who are just so damn fat from packing away the Twinkies (w/ a Diet Coke) that they have to use a cart to haul themselves around. (That is all. Ah, I feel better now.)

What he said!^^^^^^^

Silentium Est Aureum

Ever tried hitchhiking on US50 in northern Nevada? Sucks ain’t the word for it.

Have fun, you fat lazy fuck.

Green Thumb

The wheelchair move.

Totally Randy Abbott-ish.

Skippy

Well Tucson would be a good place for his bullshit. God knows we love our homeless people here. If I see him my crippled ass is going to give him some whop ass

Therapist

Are there any fakers out there that don’t need a service dog? Or, conversely, any real vets that do?

B Woodman

Sounds like he needs to be put in that wheelchair — PERMANENTLY. Then let him try to continue to scam.

Now, where to put the tattoo “SCAM”?

Just an update, I know for a fact he was here in Salt Lake on Oct 13, 2015. My old lady works
where he showed up. Man we gotta get his license plate and make of car. This asshole has some serious criminal history going on.
Google his name and look up in criminal records
the crap he’s pulled and gotten away with. The one that pisses me off is why isn’t the military looking at this asshole.

Renee

He is now in Worcester, Massachusetts and did the exact same scam to us!! However, because we have some amazing people here they were able to figure him out before we finalized his hotel stay, food and taxi service! He told us that he had a heart attack on a train and was taken to a local hospital here in his wheel chair with his “service dog.”

Dan hanson

Hey, this dude is literally in a hospital down the road from my house, lake west, willoughby ohio. Room 458 a, for faking a heart attack. My friend was going to pay for some hotel stay for him on a bs story. She figured him out. I’m a vet, told her he should have cash if he has a dd214 like thst, being it’s December 3rd. I just got paid my va benefits. My wife will not let me go up there, because she thinks I’ll do something stupid. It’s a Marine thing I guess. The number there is 440 953 9600. Not sure how long he will be there.

Dan hanson

Not kidding this man is in lake west hospital here in willoughby ohio. Room 458a. Right now. If I get a hold of the cops can they do anything to this bag of dicks?? Or should someone just go there and fuck his bitch ass up for trying to scam my friend who owns a military pride store here.

Just An Old Dog

Since the cops won’t do anything about it see if the local paper would like to do a story on him.

Dan hanson

Noone will touch this. This guy is gonna walk. Cops, news, Noone. It’s up to God at this point. Hopefully he meets someone who will just say fuck it and off his worthless ass. An older single alcoholic version of me with nothing to lose would have. But times have changed. Not sure how I feel about that.

LIZACHICK12

Currently in Buffalo, NY. This guy sure gets around!

A concerned citizen

He’s currently in poughkeepsie, ny. Same bullshit stories. A quick Google search helped us confirm what we suspected- a pathological crazy person. Disgusting

Retired

He has family in Syracuse and Liverpool NY. From what I have read and background checks this guy needs some serious time behind bars. My question is why no one will lock him up for good. Mr. Waldby is a very serious violent and aggressive man. He has a very serious criminal pass.

Catie

This man was just a patient in the University of Maryland Hospital in Baltimore, MD in Downtown Baltimore for about a week with his “service dog” He was rude and very nasty to the staff here while we all treated him with nothing but respect and kindness

Human

He is spreading the same chest pain while on a bus story in OR right now.

Robert Waldby
