Brandon Ashraf; obese POS arrested for impersonating KIA soldier
Eddie sends us a link from The Buffalo News about this slimy POS, Brandon Ashraf, 28 from Cheektowaga, NY who impersonated a soldier, SSG Matthew A. Pucino who was killed in action in Afghanistan on dating and social websites, apparently because his own visage would scare away the opossum that has been raiding my outdoor cats’ food, and probably any woman who happened upon a picture.
[Capt. Jim Speyer, a police department spokesman] said that Pucino’s sister, Melissa, contacted town police after receiving information that a Cheektowaga resident was using her brother’s identity.
An investigation by Detective Joseph Crean revealed that Ashraf had set up various Internet accounts using his identity, as well as photographs of him, Speyer said. Ashraf allegedly went so far as to set up a meeting with a woman in Florida with whom he had made contact over a dating site.
Another of Pucino’s sisters had told a Boston television reporter in December that the person using his identity claimed to be from Dallas. A photograph of him used to create an account on a dating website had come from the Matthew A. Pucino Memorial Foundation website, she said.
The internet is full of these creeps. hardly a day goes by that I don’t get links to some of them. If you’re an ugly fat piece of shit, you should learn to live with that, or make better lifestyle choices. I mean, it’s not like you’re going to pass the visual test when you actually meet the victim of your obvious fraud. And ladies, this is what is on the other end of that romantic conversation you’re having right now.
But it looks like Ashraf was released without bail – so he’s still out there on the internet, you betcha.

Scumbag.
The guy is lower than whale shit. That being said does identity theft laws cover this, or do you actually have to forge an ID or get monetary value?
“Ashraf allegedly went so far as to set up a meeting with a woman in Florida with whom he had made contact over a dating site.”
The ultimate in Karma would be if he went to Fla to meet his contact, was slipped a Mickey and woke up next to Dullass Whipenflogget next to him.
That guy deserves and epic beat down… scumbag
Right in my old back yard too…not surprised this turd bucket is from what we call “Cheektavegas”….Too much Mighty Taco for that man.
This guy needs his piss pump curb stomped!
This man is probably out right now patrolling for some butt sausage.
Low-life, scum-sucking ass wipe. Another skid mark in the underwear of life.
@3 Old Dog, maybe Psul of the Buttcrack, Spandex, Ball-less sack.
This guy, more than likely, is Monkress and Kersten-Lightfoot’s love child. Barf bags, available somewhere in aisle twelve….
reminds me of the photo of the Ron Jeremy-looking dude wearing a T-shirt that says “I’m the 13-year old you jacked off with in the chat room last night”
Just how in the name of all that’s Holy does a guy impersonate a KIA and be released without bail? Except that it would mean violating my promise to NOT enter the state of NY, I would appear in person and asked a few very pointed questions.
(Will the state of NY see any monetary gain if I just makes some telephone calls??)
This really and very seriously honks me off.
Some people have no shame. Others have no class. And still others have no morals.
This guy is batting 0 for 3.
Skrewe hymn.
The NY Daily News carried the FB angle of this story back in December. It prompted all of two comments, one of which wondered what all the drama was about and the other pointing out the paucity of comments. The Daily News carried many pics of SSG Pucino, who joined The Fallen in 2009 during his 3rd deployment. He was the real deal and you ought to check this soldier out. Now comes this waste of far too much space who assumes Pucino’s name and uses Pucino’s photos, taken from a memorial website, no less! To me, this rivals child molestation for its utter repugnancy. He isn’t just a POS, he’s the whole thing. The reality is, of course, this overstuffed pork sausage isn’t worthy to lick SSG Pucino’s footprints. I’m only sorry for his family that they have to suffer this slime bucket’s misdeeds.

The comments indicate that this idiot is an officer in the local Fire Dept. Dear, Lord. Or as a commenter asks – if he would steal the identity of a KIA, what would he do to an accident victim?
Any of our community here close to that neighborhood, close enough to confirm any of that? Please and thank you.
Clarification. “I’m only sorry for his family that they have to suffer this slime bucket’s misdeeds.” Whoa. By “his family” I mean the family of SSG Pucino, not the slime bucket’s.
I just threw up in my mouth. I am considering using it to paste my eyes shut so I do not have to look at that picture again.
Separated at birth. Pork Chop Hill Ashraf and Porky Pig.
Giant bag of Dumbass…
Ticklemonster.
@15. Yeah, it’s not just the comment. I found a number of references to Porky as a Pine Hill NY FD member, including in the NPFD Book of Condolences (Sept 11.) The sentiment is from “Brandon Ashraf-Captain, PHFD Squad 2-Buffalo NY” I cannot imagine there are too many Brandon Ashrafs around. As we know, there is always more. Perhaps this will close a few matters that were lingering regarding reports of this and that where this slime bucket was involved.
The NY contingent is rather busy on other things at the moment. And we are dealing with a couple of issues domestically, but this needs be dealt with. Am feeling a VERY strong urge to spend the rest of this Friday afternoon on this clown.
@13 You nailed it !! Just when you think you have seen every kind of poser out there this Fat POS surfaces.
There is a deep, dark, very hot corner of hell awaiting this piece of shit.
What a fucking slug.
That’s the biggest, ugliest catfish I have ever seen.
Have now talked with several law enforcement entities in and around the area. They have been snowed with inquiries about this clown, so they know there is national interest in him. So far, each individual with whom I have talked is well aware of the illegality of stolen valor and is on our side.
So, OWB is withholding negative impressions of the powers that are involved in this, but my inquires have only just begun. Am hoping that one voice mail I left will result in some good news for publication. We shall see.
“An investigation by Detective Joseph Crean revealed that Ashraf had set up various Internet accounts using his identity, as well as photographs of him, Speyer said. Ashraf allegedly went so far as to set up a meeting with a woman in Florida with whom he had made contact over a dating site.” Right now, according to the The Buffalo News aricle, PigBoy is charged with one count of misdemeanor impersonation. Well, why is that IF Detective Crean’s investigation established that PigBoy set up various Internet accounts using SSG Pucino’s identity? Each instance should be charged separately. Or were they running a discount in the prosecutor’s office that day? Inquiring minds want to know.
My significant other came here and saw the picture of lover boy above. She is currently flushing her eyes with bleach right now.
Damn, that is bad. Now to have the real family of SSG Pucino stand in line with aluminum baseball bats taking turns with this POS.
Funny that you should ask that specific question, AC. I called them to see just what their plan was, but, of course, they are not answering their phones this afternoon. From other sources, I understand that they have been swamped with inquiries, so perhaps they legitimately couldn’t take my call right now?
We shall see. 😉
Ya know, it sounds to this layman that any chance for a quiet, behind-the-scenes settlement between the DA and this guy’s lawyer just might be coming “off the table” about now. But I could be wrong.
I know who Brandon Ashraf is. He lives in Cheektowaga, NY. He is a Rescue Chief with the Pine Hill Fire Department in Cheektowaga, NY. Feel free to contact them to tell them that they seriously consider if they should continue to employ him or not. In the past he lived in Kaisertown in Buffalo, NY. He was a Fire Chief with the Buffalo Fire Department and EMS before that in Buffalo, NY. Makes me wonder what other criminal activity he has been involved in before. Chances are that this isn’t his first time breaking the law.
@31. Well, Hondo, you know how this charging stuff works, normally. Every possible charge is leveled and then, later, the plea bargain comes up and the defendant pleads to one or two counts or a lesser-included charge. Here, it looks like there is nothing to deal. Of course, that can change and the charging document amended. I am curious as to what he was doing setting up a live date with a woman who expected to see a handsome man named Pucino, not Porky, the lard-encased sleaze ball. What was he intending? Just to see her barf in revulsion?
From the number of inquiries they are getting, that seems like a reasonable conclusion to draw, Hondo. May try calling a couple of times over the week-end, but most likely it will be Monday before we get into the next act.
Meanwhile, to the slob who pretends to be whatever and all he pretends to be, you might want to enjoy the next few hours. If you think that what you observe looking around at what has happened to others is something you do not want to experience, NOW would be a great time to come clean, resign from your VFD (if you have not already been fired), report to your local PD, and admit to the plethora of criminal acts you have committed. Demand that the DA file multiple felony charges against you.
Trust me on this, doughboy: YOU DO NOT WANT TO INCUR THE WRATH OF OWB. Come clean NOW. Begin to clean up your mess NOW. Just DO IT!
And to the rest of you? When OWB goes after one, you really, REALLY don’t want to be in the vicinity. Folks tend to go to jail and stay there a very long time once you rile me. And I never forget. (At least I used to never forget. Who knows these days!) Not clowns like this one.
‘scuse me. There are a couple more calls I need to make.
2/17 Air Cav: yeah, that’s the normal flow. But on occasion, even rivers reverse their normal flow. Takes something unusual to occur as a cause, but it’s not unknown.
I think the
worthless jackess’fine fellow’s attorney got together with the DA and tried to work out something prior to charges being formally filed. And it could have worked.Only this time, both of them got caught in a “flow reversal” situation. And I’m thinking the DA will cooperate with the inevitable PDQ.
For justice’s sake, I hope that turns out to be the case.
I’m local to Cheektovega-can make appearance at court next time he is due in front of a judge. Would having a few old vets there be worth putting together?
I am going to print out this post, photocopy it a million times, and distribute it all over the frickin’ school with “this could have been YOU” stenciled across it. You wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve seen classmates and even some friends try the online romance approach via Facebook. Inevitably, they agree to meet, and although I thankfully don’t know of anyone who’s been chloroformed in a backwoods parking lot by a dirty old man and driven to Mexico, it always ends in the girl “not being anything like she was online, bro.” No shit brother. Or being some fat grunge who pulled a bunch of photoshopped pictures off the internet. Even after YEARS of classes, some people still haven’t gotten the message that you can be anybody you want on the algore.net. Stick to bricks and mortar dating—meet somebody and pursue them the old-fashioned way. And if you do date online, for god’s sake use the mainstream sights with some modicum of oversight like eharmony.
Indeed, Wardog53! And advising all us out-of-towners about any back stories you can pick up would be excellent. Not gossip, but factual stuff.
One or two (or more?) of us will continue to call the list of principles involved for the official story, but having a few local folks calling the newspapers and TV stations with questions might be in order.
What many of us cannot understand at all is why he is out with no bail and why only a little misdemeanor charge is all that has been filed. None of us should want to do or say anything which might bog down the investigation, if it is ongoing, or derail it entirely by distracting the authorities from doing their jobs, but they definitely need to know that they are all in the spotlight.
But, mine is just one opinion.
@36. Actually, if you contact the prosecutor’s office and tell them you want to speak with the attorney who has the Assraft–Assrat—dammit, Ashraf case, someone will ask you why. Just tell them you read that Asshat–Assrat–dammit–Ashraf impersonated a Fallen soldier and you, as a Veteran, would like to be at the proceeding. That will definitely carry the message, whether or not you are able to appear at court.
Asswipes like that make me think it’s time for public humiliation to be used as a form of punishment – horsewhippings, the pillory,… A lowlife POS like ASSraft ought to be pilloried, and any and all members of SSG Pucino’s family, immediate and extended, should be allowed to give that fat POS up to fifteen lashes with a “cat o’ nine tails” followed by a rinse with alcohol and salt water!
Smegma junkie.
I have a couple of retired troopers I’ll reach out to. Watch for court date and see if I can’t have a few of us show up at his hearing. Also will do some local research. Previous posts have home as a member of a local fire department…this is alarming if true. Anyone local that wants to join me, let me know.
This fella looks like that other fat guy in NY. Romeo Martinez, that fat fuck was out in actual uniform pretending though.
Fat Boy has been all over the new here in MA. Channel 4 has been mentioning him every 1/2 hour. WarDog I am local in MA so I am up for an appearance if his trial is in MA.
@ #44: That would be helpful, since the legal jurisdiction may be in MA, or at least part of it may be in MA. We know where he was/is, but both may have legal charges to file.
The fire service certifications and his own department rules which he may also have violated are all on NY.
Asshat. This cuts both ways. I used a couple of internet dating sites at one time. Met a lot of nice women and still talk to a few of them and one I have been with for 6yrs now. I also met some wacko’s. A couple put up pictures that looked ok but upon meeting them I found them to be pictures of 20yrs before. Age had not been kind to them.
Brandon Ashraf, I do hope you are looking at this thread, because OWB in #34 is only one of many posters here that YOU DO NOT WANT TO MESS WITH! Just look at the threads here on Daniel A. Bernath the fake CPO, William Derek Church the Round Ranger and Gregory C. Banks, you’ll be chewed up like a lame goat getting attacked by wolves!
@46. jonp. Impersonating a Fallen soldier cuts only one way. This isn’t about dating services or using an old photo of oneself. Let’s not elevate Porky Assrat’s act to that sort of thing. What he did was despicable, loathesome, and deserving of whatever justice is delivered to him, by both a court of law and the court of public opinion.
@48.
I agree.
@41.
Cool insult!
