The return of James Michael Waldby
Last night, we got a message on Facebook that this fellow, James Michael Waldby surfaced in Meridian, Mississippi at their VFW post. His story was that he had been kicked off the train because of his “service dog” and could they please give him some money because he has an appointment at the VA in Oklahoma? And, oh, yeah, he’s waiting for the VA to deposit his disability check.
Well, the good folks in Meridian Googled his name and found themselves at the post about him here at This Ain’t Hell, where we had written about his scams before. Waldby scammed his way into a motorcycle club and got a few hundred bucks from them, he also scammed a church group out of some money telling them he’d just returned from Afghanistan and needed gas money to Fort Bragg. Actually, the Army had booted him in mid-1990.
When he called back to the Meridian VFW post for his money, they mentioned his records posted at TAH, he claimed that his name was spelled Woldby, not Waldby – so we had the wrong person. Of course, the folks in Meridian didn’t fall for it. Funny how we spelled his name wrong, because his brother and sister chimed in on the original post and they spell their last name with an “a”.
But, if you live between Mississippi and Oklahoma, you should be on the lookout for this guy. His family says that he’s fairly violent, so you should not approach him.

I wonder if he headed to see Bill Blake?
They have a lot in common.
The scammer got called out…too bad, so sad…///
I live in Meridian and work at the NAS. I’ll spread the word.
“Joey Gallo? He’s dead….. I’m Joey CALLO”. (with apologies to Joe Pesci.)
He ate his service dog? That is disgusting, the bastard.
Watch me Waldby feed, mate
Watch me Waldby feed
‘E’s a dangerous breed, mate
So watch me Waldby feed
Altogether now . . .
(groan) I like a good pun, but I’m unsure if this qualifies.
Did anyone claim it was a “good” pun, CC Senior? (smile)
You have a point there Hondo, but now I have to post this
I’ve alerted local law enforcment and the media.
He looks like “Todd” from “Gold Rush.”
If I am not mistaken, someone posted on a previous write-up on this scumbag that he is extremely violent.
Just be careful, folks.
Yes, I hear he goes berserk when someone calls mistakenly calls him a kangaroo.
Make sure everyone is carrying an extra-large ice cream sandwich to politely give him.
I guess it’s not surprising that a lying sack of shit, violence prone reprobate remains exactly that as he travels across the nation wreaking havoc.
With luck he will be apprehended and placed in a small caged room for a very, very long time.
The only better outcome would be a long overdue dirt nap.
It’s good to hear that someone checked him out and called “BULLSHIT!” on him and his con game!
A well armed , person of small stature could reasonably end this mess, if they were “confronted”.
Remember…” Oh my god, he’s coming right at me!!!!!!” and “I want a Lawyer”
Seems he should head to Alabama and hook up with his butt buddy SA Lyons.
Only an hour and some change from my neck of the woods…Probably be a good idea for him to stay away from around Hattiesburg.
He should head to Florida. There are a couple of turds there that can help him.
There’s one firm in Merrit Island, FL that he would fit in with, and another in Bethesda, MD that’s guarded 24/7 by a doorless mailbox!!
I have it from a reliable source that FirsTech (or is it FirstTech this week) may be getting some network exposure. They better fix that mailbox before the television crew shows up.
Butt-Fuckers like this guy & the Rev really piss me off. They prey on sympathy & use dogs in their act. A guy w 2 SSs is going to go begging to a VFW for gas money? Never. Heroes don’t beg, MF!!!
And forgot about that shit-stain Gimbl & some of those phony Seals…They could start their own Confederacy of Dunces!
And don’t forget about the TWO DSC’s.
You’re right. Straight from the Prez. I’m sure with his whole year in svc he accomplished a lot. And now he waits on his VA check, that he doesn’t get.
You must go thru AR to OK right? Gaurantee my peeps at EVERY VFW you stop at will match ur violence & then some. Specially in Central AR! Prick Licker.
I am in the Tulsa area if we get word on him heading to Oklahoma. We can give a warm Ok. POSER welcome. More than we gave WBC.
Let Bill Blake know.
They are turds of the same smell.
I have a feeling that this clown is going to keep popping back up on the TAH radar for a long, long time.
he has appeared. in Wichita ks with his dog and insulting therapy coat on dog.telling everyone about his injuries.cant even lie good nobody buying it. local vets are aware and plan to make a visit
This is sad, this is how I find out if my brother is alive. Please whoever finds him get him into jail. He wants everything handed to him. I feel sorry for anyone that he tries to scam. I know our father is probably rolling over in his grave. My heart bleeds in pain because of him.
He is in Willoughby, OH right now at Lake West Hospital faking a heart attack. Tried to scam some good friends of mine with the same stories…trying to keep him contained until FBI steps in.
in Buffalo, NY faking a heart attack
my brother has been in and out of new york several times , here in syracuse 3 times that i know of doing the same thing in and out of hospitals once in nov. again in dec. then again in jan. and i found out he has been in severalhospitals all over the country. like i said before its never a dull moment. i have a feeling its not going to end any time soon. he wanted to see me and i refused, because i never know what he is up to.
