    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site.

Bad Guy Jeff and Christina Wise (Wise Reptiles) Stole Money from Benefit Auctions for Maggie

I know I'm late to post, but this is on my youtube channel as well. Thanks to Kevin for making the video (and Heather for the re-written text). The new vid is great!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdLBgjZiP-k
20 views so far and counting, most of my vids average 100-200 views, every extra person that is made aware of this situation is a good thing.
 
... every extra person that is made aware of this situation is a good thing.

Just a quick reminder that the URL http://www.jeffandchristinawise.com jumps right here to this thread in any web browser now, so it is a handy way to share on Twitter, FB, or other social networking sites....

Between all of us, we have bombarded IC3, our local police departments, our local sheriff's offices, contacted our district attorneys, made YouTube videos, contacted their family, their friends, their pastor, typed and retyped several different synopses, contacted media outlets, made Facebook groups, joined Facebook local media groups and were subsequently removed for our posts, etc.

Pardon my cynicism, but what does it matter how many more people are made aware? Obviously nobody gives a [Christina] but us. Everybody else is just a spectator saying "Aww I feel bad for you guys, GOOD LUCK!"

Sorry.
As a part of the people that got scammed out of an animal, Id love to see it happen... but it doesn't look good...to me anyway.
We all got royally shtupped, Maggie harder than anyone else. But so did many people over the years here, and nothing has come of it. Look at the similar threads on the bottom..."words to the wise"...3500 bucks paid, phonebooks received. Resolution? Nil.

Hello,
My name Is Kelcy Decker and I am the mother of Jeff Wise's 16 year old son.
I have known Jeff Wise since April of 1993 and were together on and off for over 10 years.
I know him better than just about anyone. He has been scamming people ever since I have known him. I got sick to death of his hatefulness, abuse, and disgusting degrees of dishonesty and finally left him on Father's Day of 2004.
Jeff is an ex con who did 8 years in prison for repeated automobile theft related charges ... not to mention the numerous stints he did in county jails for theft.
He scammed women from inside prison (I know this from finding several letters to him from at least three women trying to get him to explain why he was trying to get access to their bank accounts, etc.), and I know for a FACT that he was scamming people left and right while he was on parole. I was there and witnessed it. If Jeff Wise was made to pay back all the money he's ripped off from people over the years it would most surely add up to thousands upon thousands of dollars.
This is not the first time he has ripped people off under the guise of a seemingly legitimate business. After he got out of prison and was on parole, he began a landscaping company. Before the season was even over there was at least one person calling every week demanding to know why he hadn’t shown up to take care of their lawns in weeks. Most of these complainants had already paid in full for the entire summer. To this day I do not know what Jeff Wise did with the monies he took. I do know, however, that I paid two of those people back over $280 out of my own tiny paycheck … just to make things right with these people.
This man is a mentally ill, partner/child abusing (fact), deadbeat-dad (fact), sexually abusive (fact), sociopath who has been scamming and abusing people (,even his own family members…fact,) since he was at least 14! He would, and has, ripped off his own mother to get what he wants. He has even ripped off his very best friend. Though, I'm not sure if the best friend has found out about it yet.
He's great at making big, tearful apologies and promising to get help and do better, but is ALWAYS back to his old tricks before you can even turn your back.
His wife is no better. She is a compulsive liar and has been confronted many, MANY times about the whoppers she tells. I filed a complaint with CPS (child protective services) against Christina when my son was 12 because, while my son was visiting his father, Christina gave my son alcohol. my 12 year old son!
They, to my knowledge are currently living in a 5th wheel (outside of MI) and have three small children in their care and, from what I have heard, another one due in August of this year (2011). But They do not stay in the same place for very long because of their various questionable activities and chronic failure to pay their bills (fact). So I'm not positve they are still at the address I have for them.
I only found out about the scams they were pulling last night (Sunday, January 23 2001) but last week Christina Wise told me that Jeff has been abusing her and the children for some time and has threatened to have Christina killed if she leaves. At first I didn't want to believe her because of all the lies she has told in the past. But after listening to her describe the types of abuse Jeff has been dealing out I am certain it is true.

The abuses she described are the exact same types of abuse that Jeff was subjecting myself and my son to. At first I felt bad for her but after finding out last night about what she and Jeff have been up to (, including her scam about having miscarried triplets,) I have lost all sympathy for her. But I am exceedingly worried for these children. Jeff does have an extremely short fuse and was allegedly made to undergo anger management classes while incarcerated. And he is MEAN. I can not stress this enough. Once, when I tried to leave him, he snatched our son out of my arms and barricaded himself in a bedroom. A neighbor had to come over and intervene with threats to call the police to get him out of the bedroom. This man is NOT mentally stable and very much needs help.
DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE WITH ANYTHING!!!!!!
These two people have no empathy for anyone but themselves.
If someone will contact me at [email protected] I will provide any/all info I have to help these families get justice. Or even if anyone can help put me in contact with the proper authorities, maybe I can at least help them be found so they can be prosecuted.
It disgusts me that he keeps doing this to people! I feel SO amazingly bad for the two families that Jeff and Christina have imposed further heartache upon. I even feel partially to blame because I should have turned Jeff in for breaking the conditions of his parole so many times. But I was afraid of losing what little I had and afraid that our son would end up losing his father after he’d just gotten him back. If I had been stronger then, maybe these two families …or anyone else they’ve ripped off since we separated … would not have suffered further at Jeff and Christina’s hands.
I have MUCH info to provide about his criminal background as well as a possible current address.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me at the above email address. I have NO problem spilling my guts to help these families get some justice!!!
Sincerely,
Kelcy R. Decker

None of this surprises me at all. I'm just sorry you've had to deal with him for so long. Thank you for posting here.

Hi Kelcy,

I'm so happy you found this thread and provided us with this information....wow :thumbsup: Send David "Dand" a pm with Jeff's address and any other important information.

Thanks for the info & welcome to fauna!!
 
I'll do that. I'm glad I found the thread too!

Thank you for joining Fauna. Most of the people here are good people. I have been in contact with the Michigan Department of Corrections, and they did say that he was incarcerated for 7 to 8 years. Is there any way you can post links to any information, both past or present? The Michigan Department of Correction purges inmate records from online view after three years of that person's release. Any information is appreciated. Thanks for your help.
 
Wow! :eek:

Ms. Decker, what he has done and is doing is not your fault, and I'm sorry you went through all that. We really appreciate you stepping up to try to bring him to justice, or at least make it harder for him to prey on folks.

Sounds like women and children are his favorite targets. What a piece of work! If he is still on parole now, maybe this evidence will be of interest to his parole officer?
 
Jeff Wise

I do have a printout of his page on MDOC from before he was released but that's it. I will have to pull it out of my file box. I don't have a scanner or printer right now, as mine died three weeks ago, but I will find some way to provide the info. Unfortunately, he's been off of parole for about 4 years now and there's nothing that can be done in that regard but I shall still keep seeing what, if anything I can do. :)

I can tell that this is really a close knit community and I'm glad that there are people like you out there!

I got some word from someone that knows him that he may be coming back to MI in the very near future, as there seems to be some sort of issue with the 5th wheel he's living in. I will keep you all posted.

I have to be honest, I joined here because i found the info when I googled Jeff to try and find his whereabouts so I could help get my son the past 6 years of child support that Jeff has not paid. That and the confrontation I had with Christina about her lying all the time.

I can also be contacted through facebook. I'm on every day.

Thank you guys for your welcome and responses.
 
Kelcy, welcome - though I'm very sorry that your introduction to Fauna occurred under these circumstances.

You've done this community a great service in coming forward with personal information that can't have been easy for you to share.

If you don't currently have an attorney to help you with your child support case, please PM me. Deadbeat dads are not looked upon kindly by the authorities, even when those same authorities are apparently unconcerned about reptile and donation thefts.

Again, my sincere sympathies for all you've had to go through. Your son at least has a great mom to look up to. :yesnod:
 
Thanks, timebider!

Believe me when I tell you that after the past 5 years of being away from him, I have NO problems sharing what I've gone through. lol. I just wish I could remember every illegal thing he's done for which the statute of limitations hasn't expired for. lol.
 
Wow! :eek:

Ms. Decker, what he has done and is doing is not your fault, and I'm sorry you went through all that. We really appreciate you stepping up to try to bring him to justice, or at least make it harder for him to prey on folks.

Thank you, hon!!

I agree with everything that Ophidile said!!

Also, don't blame yourself. You have to protect yourself and your son.

It took some time, but you found the right place and the right people to talk to!!

My prayers are with you, Kelcy!

Welcome to our Fauna family!! I hope you stick around to see how we take care of our own!
 
the long line of lies and deceit was a lot longer than we all thought...if he does make it to Michigan I can guarantee he will not be welcome at any of our herp shows....

Someone who has been doing this as long as he has will not stay in the same line of work or interest for very long. The way they stay ahead of the game is by constantly changing the focus of their marks. That way they get into a brand new cross section of people who will never have heard of him, and not likely to think to look outside their own interests. He will probably be using aliases to keep from getting his name pop up in Google searches, but for the most part these kind of people pretty much know how to stay under the radar until they have made their score, then move on to the next.

Unless there is an active warrant out for his arrest, he really has nothing to fear. Obviously law enfarcement falls far below anyone's expectations when it comes to this sort of thing.
