Crime doesn't pay. Sad.
Just a quick update.... Justin Figgatt has been charged and arrested for obtaining money by false pretenses. I really wish it had never come down to this but sometimes the only way to learn a lesson is by accountability for one's own actions. Still wanting people to come forward on this.
Awesome news! It's hammer time, hopefully that will be enough to put a stop to the little scumbag scamming people.
Let's see how big of a joke he thinks it is now...
Where's that smile on his face as he was laughing at everyone that he ripped off...
Soon he could be socializing with people just like himself. And many of them will be smiling as he walks through the gates.
I just found this on a public records site. Seems he's had a few run ins with the police already with traffic stops. Two speeding tickets (in one day) and a window tint charge. That alone shows total disrespect for any authority and now scamming people on the internet. Terrible way to start a young life.
Shows his middle name of "Michael" so apparently that is where the "Mike440" has come from (which he has admitted to being as well as "Ply30". )

I just hope enough people came out of the woodwork to make it a felony. If not, he will get a slap on the wrist.

True, but then again, Paypal is involved. Depending on how much they stepped up to
cover this greaseball's sorry ***, they(or their ins. co.) may be very interested in pressing
significant charges. I'm sure there's an attorney on retainer just waiting for something to do.
Lets hope, and yes, anybody and everybody who has been scammed needs to pile on.
Whether or not paypal made good for you, they need to know too.
Justin,...meet your new roommate, bubba the bunk-muffin.
I don't put much stock in minor traffic tickets, but he DID have a bad check charge dismissed evidently the complainant could not or would not appear.
I hate to say it, but that might be the connections within the fire department. Don't get me wrong I know of very many volunteers who genuinely do so to be able to help his or her community.
I know many more who volunteer because it becomes an exclusive club, where the members at large become untouchable. One of our local volunteer companies breeds this kind of thing and the membership sticks up for the rest of the membership. And the local police have a habit of looking the other way. Drunk driving, petty theft, speeding in residential areas, talking on the cellphone while driving all get looked the other way because the person is a volunteer fireman. Hell, this company took down the mayor of the village with trumped up charges and supposed video they were going to leak. They were willing to ruin the man's marriage because he wouldn't give them money to buy a pool table for the firehouse and wanted them to stick to official meetings only, not a party hall.
One of the reasons this asshole joined his company? Just asking.
