"Bruce Bentley" of Bentley Dog Care Phoenix is a false identity and profile. His real name is Bruce Michael Lincis and he's the former owner of Rainbow Produce Inc., in Phoenix which was shut down by the USDA for non-payment of over $350k in fines and unpaid supplier invoices. He assumed the fake persona of "Bruce Bentley" in 2013 and began advertising as a professional dog trainer with "45-50 years experience in all capacities" despite only being 57 years old at the time and having been in the produce supply business for over 30 years instead. He was busted for drug possession and DUI/drugs in 2012 and arrested again on March 27, 2015 on related charges to the first conviction.
Mr. Lincis advertises prolifically, mostly on Craigslist Pets Services section. Craigslist removes any ads placed in attempts to reveal his true identity and lack of professional background in the industry-no one knows why. He also advertises on yelp.com, merchantcircle.com, angieslist.com and yellowpages.com and/or yp.com under an address where he previously lived that was sold at public auction after foreclosure in February of 2015.
Beware this individual. He is now 59 years old and his criminal history and background are well searchable under his real name, but only now are searches beginning to link the two identities together.
