Rich scammed me out of $8,000. I was stupid and believed he was investing my money. I bailed him out of jail - didn't even ask what he was in jail for. I finally came to and paid bounty hunters to put him back in jail so his other girlfriend could bail him out.
I lost investment money and the money I paid to bail him out of jail and the money I paid the bounty hunters.
He is an evil gigilo.
He is a scam artist.
The Lord will take care of him, I pray.

So, it seems I am the latest victim, I am on the buying end of this little scam.. It sounded great, we gave him almost 8,000 down, signed papers. I too did a Florida name search, nothing found. When I confronted him he stated it was a Georgia license, again.. Not the case. So then I started making reports, he cussed me out over this and started getting alittle better.
Against my better judgement we proceeded to sign papers, I had seen this report a month ago while myself and the real owners of the house were talking about how he had failed to pay them. Now I am getting legal notices from the tax departments stating he never paid the taxes owed on the house during the "closing" that we had. His phone has been disconnected, and he's unreachable.
John, please call me when you have a moment..(((ROR redacted))) please.

My mother and this scam artist have been dating for 7 years. When I was younger I lived with both of them for about 2 years. I have witnessed all the shady and bad business he has done. I think that he is a terrible person, and he has no ethics. I want to help you find information on him because i think what he is doing is terrible, and nobody deserves it. He is very hard to track down because he doesn't use a social security number, has a few fake names (rich diamond, riccardo diamond), and often changes phone numbers to avoid people. He is running from the law, many people are suing him including the owner of the house i lived in with him. He doesn't pay taxes, and somehow found a loop hole in justice system. He operates out of a P.O. box. He lived in Georgia and scammed countless people and he probably move to Jacksonville to escape the law. Other websites and businesses are "Freedom Reality", he has a radio show based out of jacksonville. I hope any of this information helps you find him and can help him pay what he owes to society.

I have a friend that has done work for this guy and now he can not get paid after working on several houses to get them ready for the sale. The guy will not return calls and will not answer text messages either, just like in your story. I work in the construction field building new houses and we purchase foreclosed homes that we fix up to then sell after the banks have already completed all of the paper work. I find it completely disgusting that someone is taking advantage of people that are already in a bad situation trying to sell their homes. I am attempting to get as much information as possible so that we can take some action against this person and get the word out about the so called deals he is making. I do think that based on this account he is breaking a few Real estate laws and could have his license revoked so that he could not do this to more people. I would like to get my hands on a copy of his agreement so that way I could check into some more. Please contact me so that we can get this guy.

The same exact thing happend to me and my family. We were on the selling end just like the original poster. Rich did not pay the mortage for 2 months before I finally figured out his scam. We are out $2500. Even worse, the "buyers" in our home gave Rich $12,900 for the downpayment and to fix their credit, which he never intended to do. I would like to know if the original poster saught legal help in getting this money back from him. My wife and I are getting an attorney to see what we can do, I would just like to know if the original poster has attempted to sue him yet.
