Mac McQuown’s scam makes the news
We wrote about Leonard “Mac” McQuown last Fall. He’s been walking around the country to ostensibly raise money for homeless veterans, but basically, he’s on a walking tour of the country. He claims that he doesn’t ask for money, but people just give it to him. OK, nothing wrong with that. Except that a few years back, his charities were the subject of a warning by the state of Virginia. Virginia claimed that little money actually went to help anyone except McQuown. That’s what this news report from Arkansas Louisiana says, too;
In the video, McQuown claims that he gave some money to a homeless shelter, but the news crew found out that he gave the money via Paypal, but then asked for the money back.
He also claim that he was a Marine sergeant, that’s not true. In fact he spent more than 200 days as a deserter and in confinement from the Marine Corps.
Basically, he’s just making a living on the good will that people feel towards their soldiers and Marines these days.

How low will this piece of scum stoop ?
He is making the claim on his F/B account that he didn’t ask for a refund and the News reporter is wrong.
FYI: WBRZ is Baton Rouge, LA not AR.
Plenty more to read about this POS here. It’s hard to keep up with what scam this deserter is going to try next.

While this maggot is doing his walk about, it is my hope and prayer that he becomes a hood ornament.
I was just thinking kinda the same thing:
I was hoping … Jammed up in the wheel well!
Speed Bump would be better !
IMHO, I think he/it would look GREAT plastered to the front bumper of a Mack Truck going 70+ down the highway!!
I’d rather he fall off a bridge or something like that. I would hate for someone to mess up their vehicle and have to clean up all the crap that this guy is full of.
If he falls off a bridge, he’ll pollute the water downstream.
It’s better if he runs out of dupes, doesn’t get any more money because they see him and his scams here and on Facebook, and ends up living under a bridge in a cardboard box.
He’s a slimeball from the getgo. Let’s give him LOTS AND LOTS of attention.
Time for the SV Poster file. I know where to post it, too.
Just another scumbag scammer…
Prime example of why uniforms need to be disposed of other than the Army/Navy store. Even if you hated your service time, do you want this scumbag playing dress up and helping him steal money from people?
With all of the churches that welcomed Mac, I thought he was a man of God. How could all of those churches he visited be duped? An Allice Grenier posted names on the Facebook conversation from last night: Scott Hughes, Angel Vargesko, Troy Yokum, Doug Carbale…I assume these people have tracked Mac’s whereabouts for the past 2+ years? Why is it now they decided to seek media attention? I am NOT trying to defend Mac, but surmise as to why it took so long?
Scotty has been going after this turd since he crossed his path.
Are you sure you aren’t trying to defend the honor thief and scam artis known as “Mac”…
No…trying to catch up.
We have tracked Mac for 2 yrs, and tried to inform the public about him, but according to the law, he is not doing anything wrong. But what he is doing is morally wrong and doing it under the banner of being and using veterans. This is not his first public exposure, but recent events perpetrated by Mac have put him back into allot of folks radar!
Because predators go where the prey is, and churches are in the habit of helping people. Con men gonna con.
Great point.
Seems to me someone is fishing for why it seems we are now hitting McClown hard.
We’ve been after him for sometime now but unfortunately the news didn’t think he was a “worthy” piece for the nightly newscast. Once WBRZ did a follow up with Raven’s Outreach and discovered McClown’s lie he became “newsworthy”.
Fortunately most of the small TV stations “talk” to each other so I expect that McClown will have this little issue hounding him for the rest of his so called “walk”.
I wonder if his trip will take him through Merritt Island, Florida?
Ok…I know yall have see me comment on his post…but to be honest…things didnt seem to work for me because he contradicted himself so often…My point is..The people in Meridian, Ms. that he scammed …I know them as I am from Meridian.. He tried to hit on me also and only poor me is really all I got from him.. I told him that him making a point to tell people how ya’ll were persecuting him..Right then my mind clicked…and I am thinking …he protest too much…. I said if he wasn’t guilty of anything why did these people even matter. He kept hinting on how he needed a tent…and I just acted liked I had some one in Pearl,Ms. to give him a brand new one…he was hitting on me pretty hard and I egged it on because I was seeing for my own self that he was trying to con me and most of the women he chats with. And poor Alice or ynn whatever the heck her ame is…would get up set with me and she would say ..things like Sweetie I will be sending you something tomorrow…For one thing he looks like a creep…but what confirmed it was when he sent me a private message askin me for money for a bus ticket so he could be with his daughter for Christmas..I never answered his email and then he was kind of cold…but I think he flew there or what ever…cause he had a picture of a plane saying he was overlooking the airport where his daughter .lived…I know he had just asked me for money for a bus ticket…then he was whining about not having ay money for Christmas…and I said..It isn’t about the gifts Mac…You could tell he didn’t like my answer…He was getting ready to ask me for money for Christmas…my gut told me so. I dont know what this Alice /Lynn whatever has to do with this stuff…but she is still helping.. Also I told him I had family in Pearl and would love to meet him there and that is when… Read more »
Great, another phony giving a bad name, yet again, to real veterans. Yes I am with MGySgtRet. Maybe a kindly veteran, 18 wheeler driver will see him and “whoops, he just sorta stumbled in front of my rig. I’ll never get all that camo out of my grill now”.
Please tell us where this dickweed is in Arkansas and we will deal with him.
Well, we’ve found the middle piece in the Fornwalt-McQuown-Monkress human centipede…
Glad to see that he is getting the publicity he wants. *smirk* What a bag of shit he is.
Another reason why I refuse to give to any person or group not WELL established in the community.
Here’s hoping the humiliation this fuckstick gets is very thorough and very public.
How is this fuckstick still allowed to scam money,it would be a tragedy if he get hit my a bus.
This seems to be an obvious case of stolen valor. The fuckstick is making money under false pretenses, using his lies about military service to scam people. Why is he not in prison?
He’s not in prison because SV is not a big crime to the local LEO’s. If it was a serious enough crime then perhaps he’d be in jail but because he is not actually “asking” for donations he’s not “breaking” the law.
He actually did as me for donations. I have a printing company in Stafford, VA where he started from and he came in asking for business cards/banner – what ever we were able to give. We actually did design cards and a banner and printed them. He came us – we did not find him. Regret doing it now.
