  • AZ family taken by scammers

    Family Of Nine Loses Savings Because Of Craigslist Rental Scam:

    Another family has been taken by the craigslist rental scam. A family from Peoria, Arizona was new to the area and found a rental home on craigslist that was too good to be true. As expected it was too good to be true.

    They met a couple who called themselves Jim and Jaime Williams who they forked over $1500 to.

    Then when the family tried to move in they met the actual owner. Luckily the real owners worked something out with the family to let them stay there.

    As far as the “Williamses” go…

    Peoria Arizona police are asking for the public’s help in looking for the scam artists responsible. They are described as “a short heavyset woman and a man with crooked teeth and a heart tattooed on one hand. They were last seen driving a white Chevy Blazer.”

    The article recommends checking with the county first to see who actually owns a rental property.

  • AZ man arrested for trying to have sex with teen

    Man accused of sex with teen he met on MySpace:

    23-year-old Justin Allen Lee of Avondale, AZ was arrested for driving to Chandler, AZ to have sex with a 15-year-old girl he met over MySpace. Lee was discovered by the girl’s father.

    Lee is using the ‘I thought she was 17’ defense even though according to the article it states her MySpace stated her correct age. Age of consent in Arizona is 18.

    You also have to read how hilarious Lee’s apprehension was.

    In Avondale, where he lives with his parents, Lee was already on probation for armed robbery and was booked through the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. It sucks to be him. Maricopa County is where Sheriff Joe is. I reckon he probably don’t take too kindly to perverts like this one.

  • Sex offender poses as 12-year-old to enter middle school

    Sex offender poses as 12-year-old to enter middle school

    Sex offender applies for school as a boy:

    That charming gentleman pictured at right is Neil Havens Rodreick II. He’s a 29-year-old man who tried applying to an Arizona middle school as a 12-year-old boy. I

    t’s believed that he did that in order to lure children into dangerous and vile relationships. If you think he couldn’t pass as a 12-year-old, think again because he fooled at least two other men.

    One of those men, 61-year-old Lonnie Stiffler, was claiming to be Roderick’s grandfather when they tried getting him into the school. Stiffler and 43-year-old Robert James Snow were shocked to find out that they were having sex with a 29-year-old man and not a 12-year-old boy. Roderick allegedly kept them fooled by using makeup and shaving his body hair.

    Well, we don’t have a MySpace for Roderick, but thanks to LiLO we do have the MySpace for Robert Snow.

  • Phoenix woman uses MySpace to have sex with teenage boys

    Phoenix woman uses MySpace to have sex with teenage boys

    Woman Accused Of Being Online Predator:

    Police in the Phoenix, Arizona suburb of Goodyear say a 36-year-old woman used the web to pull a kind of “bait and switch” on teenage boys. The woman is now in jail.

    Neighbors say there are plenty of kids in this new west Valley neighborhood where Peggy Ross lives.

    Goodyear police claim 36-year-old Peggy Ross used the popular website myspace.com posting a phony profile to lure teenage boys to chat rooms, then to her home.

    Cmdr. Ralph Mclaughlin says the picture she posted on myspace.com was not hers, but that of an unknown teenage girl.

    Investigators say a 15-year-old boy eventually came forward, claiming he had sex with Ross who police say has three children of her own.

    Police believe other boys were victimized but reluctant to come forward, perhaps because the suspect is a woman.

    Again, this is no different from any of the male predators that have been seen on this site.
