Lester Eugene Chase III Les, Gene Con artist, checks drawn on nonexistent account, grand larceny by check Manchester, New Hampshire
I own a limousine company in New England. I was contacted by this person Lester Eugene Chase the Third for business services. He claimed he was an independent nightclub promoter for clubs in Boston, New York, Detroit, and LA. This turned out to be false (confirmed by nightclub management). He ran up over $2000 in transportation service bills, which he paid by business check. The checks all bounced, and I happened to have him in the car when I was notified by the bank- they actually CALLED me because it seemed so suspicious. I took him aside (his 'employee' was with us) and he apologized and said he'd been the victim of identity theft and his bank must have not unfrozen his accounts. He claimed that he could arrange a wire transfer, and I agreed. I should have driven him right to the PD. The wire transfer never came through, and after communicating with him for a couple weeks, his phone stopped working. I subsequently got a call from his 'employee', asking if I'd heard from Mr. Chase. Apparently the payroll checks were also bad. The employee gave me informatin on some other people known to associate with Mr. Chase, such as the club owners and another limo company. ALL of them had at least a bad feeling about the guy (I got the sense he was a coke dealer and possibly had a manic personality disorder of some sort) and the limo company that he had used previously, on the North Shore by Boston, had also been ripped off. The employee also told me that MR. Chase's old cell phone (the one I had as his contact) was in his possession.
This guy is bad news and if you work for him, expect to get ripped off.
His description: About 5'8 Overweight (possibly 250lbs?) Light hair, skin. Blue eyes maybe? Has a very intense squirrely manner that is unmistakable. When he tells a story, he punctuates it with a weird daffy duck/Burt Reynolds in Cannonball run sort of squeak-quack out the corner of his mouth. It's like a tic. He will try to impress you with stories that aren't true, and show you pics of his hot wife who rides a GSXR (the bike doesn't exist and the 'wife' doesn't either; the pics turned out to be the girlfriend of a Chicago DJ that he had taken while scamming some other city). Other stories that will identify him (all totally fabricated): -he has a helicopter license -his uncle owns a retired Budweiser horse -he used to own a house in the Carolinas and had a Hummer (or lamborghini, depending on how cocked he is when telling the story -half the starting line of the New England Patriots use his services to book tables at nightclubs

Music Industry? Lester Chase Fraud

Lester Chase is a short, fat dude from Derry NH who runs around the
country acting like a big shot. He has like 15 FB accounts and 5 cell
phones. He gets musicians to talk to these fake gorgeous women, then
posing as the women he says their boyfriend (Les) is a big shot in the
music industry etc. Long story short, this scum bag did that exact sh*
to me. I had some girl on my FB and she saw me talking about how record
labels were looking at me and sh*. "She" started talking to me and
listening to my music... Long story short, I was convinced to take a
plane from Boston to Orlando to meet him and other big shots in the
industry... So we're out $2,000 and he's lucky he's still around, if he is after all the upset friends and family I have. Had
I figured all of this out prior to leaving FL this never would have happened. Google him, he's all over
the internet for fraud and s**t. I was stupid and didn't research him
cuz he's from my own town and we know hundreds of the same people. He
did such a good job at making it all seem so real ya wouldn't even
believe it. Now i can't pay my bills this month. I could barely even go
food shopping yesterday to feed my kids. He needs to be caught!

Claimed he was a big time club promoter/nightclub owner that had tickets to the "Grove Cruise" party. Had 2 tickets for sale for $300 and the only way I could send him money is to send it via "western union" or "money gram". Never got the tickets, or a refund. He then proceeded to string me along for another $50 or so dollars.
