    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. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy catherine kimball scammer

OK People, I will explain it. It just happened that the Port Richie Police were at Catherine's house on another matter. Because I had just sent her a demand letter (which, as stated above, is what you need to do to request your money back from the scammer-- also it needs to be registered, return reciept - she must have thought the police were there due to that. Anyway, Catherine confessed to her about me and showed the detective the demand letter, while the detective let her talk - because this is how many stupid people are caught - they talk. So the officer told me on the phone that she basically put the fear of God into her to pay me, and the person of the other matter (of which I have no details) postal money orders and pay us back. Catherine did. I asked the officer if I could give out her name because there were many other people who were scammed. She said "NO". She told me to tell you all to FILE A REPORT on www.IC3.gov - and so I am. If I was anyone other than what I say I am, I wouldn't be telling you guys how to get your money back. FILE A REPORT!

It just happened that the police where there on another matter, and you just happened to be there at the same time? How convienent! Police or detective they were both there at the same time? Then you left, and Catherine sent you a MO because the police "put the fear of god in her?"

That was certainly convenient!:eek: Seems so implausible, that I can believe you.:ack2:

Just a little too convienent. I will say this, torty2 is in California, but that doesn't mean she wasn't put up to doing this. She has logged on from two different locations, and both are in California. As far as the www.IC3.gov, isn't that the same thing everyone filed on in the Wise case, and look where it got them, so far nowhere. I find it hard to believe that a scammer got her feathers ruffled over 260 bucks, and then convienently paid even more.

Yes. It's not only who we all gave our complaints to, but we gave them all the evidence they needed for an open and shut case. Absolutely nothing has happened yet.

Maybe we just ain't blowing the right people or something. :rolleyes:

She didn't say SHE was there at the same time...or at any time. She said her LETTER had recently arrived, and Catherine confessed to that particular incident because that's what she thought the police were there about.

Whether or not all that is true, I have no idea. I just don't see any benefit to either party for it to be lies. UNLESS....Catherine is SO clever that she can concoct a character that lives in another state...make up this whole story about getting caught in the scam and having to pay this one particular character back (a character who still condemns her actions and is not trying to suggest that ANYone give Catherine another chance at anything).....just to try and throw people off her trail by sending them off to the ineffective www.IC3.gov.

Quite frankly....that's a little more credit in Catherine's corner than I'm willing to give. :rolleyes:

Hi Folks, After being in contact with the Port Richey Police Department, I was told that all of you with issues regarding Catherine Kimball should file a report with the website www.IC3.gov - this is where the police go for information when they have a case they are working on with other crimes their suspect may have perpetrated. I am happy to report that Catherine sent me the $300 she owed me! The police said that only about 1% of people scammed get their money, so I am very, very happy. Good luck to all of you. File a report on that website.

Gee, explain this. I just got off the phone with the Port Richey Police Department, and they said that Catherine's address is not in their jurisdiction. Funny, they sure did a lot for you. Here is their number if you want to verify, 727-816-1919.

If someone makes a post that they were ripped off, and waited a while, then came back and said that Catherine made good. It is totally in Catherine's benefit, because it would help to clear her name, and put her in a better light. Scammers come up with all kinds of things to try and fool people into making them think they are doing what's right. In most cases, scammers think they are smarter than everyone else.

Re-reading the whole thread again (slowly this time) I think you are right. It is simply tooo implausable to have happened.

How would they know Torty's phone number to call? It is doubtful that Catherine would have kept records around of the people who she scammed. I don't think www.IC3.gov would include addresses and phone numbers of the people that she scammed in their letter (if they actually ever got around to it).

I gotta side with you on this one...something stinks.:ack2:

I think we're just in the "wrong" hobby. Anything to do with snakes - scam or not - and it's instantly on the back-burner. :angry: ...that is, of course, unless it involves personal injury and/or the seizure of animals, and then it's all over the news. :rolleyes:
 
I'd like to know the name of the officer that contacted Leanne Roth to verify some events. If a report was filed by the PD, it would be on record there. If they even made a visit to Catherine, that would go long way for her credibility. Just a first name of the officer would be enough. It's a small world, and ph calls are easily made.
Actually, I contacted torty2 yesterday, but have not rec'd a reply on that. I don't expect to get an answer. hmmmmm

Just to add a little more gravity to this that first image is mine, the animal is still in my possession and has been since 2008. I'm flattered she was hot enough for a scammer to use.. LOL

Rock On!
