Fraudulant Company

I can't say that this will fit into Bad Trucking Companies or where.There is a self proclaimed O/O seeking teams to run 48. He recruits from truck stops and has been reported to Police for Identity Theft. From what has been researched he moves from Neb, Tenn, Tx and Co. Probably anywhere he can get. Claims to own Pete or KW 72 inch. His company is based in Texas and Tennessee. Safestat did have information using the name we were given indicating that there are 10 drivers which is what we were told. That was the TX report. Don't know if he picked a company or if it is his. He stated that he has contracts with companies such as Coors, Bud and WalMart.
He carries all the paperwork for contracts for employment, tax forms, etc. that seem to look legitimate (as if a lawyer had written it). He offers very decent pay, full benefits and stock options, detention and layover.
Al couple of days after the contract was signed he said that he had cashiers check to pay for a tractor of our choice, however he found a Legacy he liked.
After the transaction/sales contract for this unit were being finalized he then decides to purchase a second truck, also a legacy. He is primarily looking for large 60-84's for the teams and they are supposed to pick out their truck. He signs contracts with dealers pending wire transfers from the bank to finalize the sale. Did the same thing with new top of the line trailers and refers.
He calls his bank and then has the driver talk to the so called banker that the funds to cover the costs of setting up the truck with GPS, Laptops...etc. that you want after the truck is bought and drivers take the keys.
He also produces the contract and registration informationthe forms for proof of insurance and all required tax information that had to be completed.
The bank process is supposed to take a couple of days. Again, the bank assures that transfer will be deposited to the dealers and a small amount for the for additonal equipment of your choice such as CB, Antenna and GPS.
By this time things were not just adding up. I again spoke with his banker and was told the money to be transfered and I then called and spoke to the dealers for the equipment he was supposed to be buying. The banker said that such large sums of money have to go through DEA, IRS and FBI clearing house before the transfer can be completed. Made sense at the time.
He carries papers indicating that he is a legitimate owner/operator such as business plans for the current year and Profit and Loss statements. The contract contains the regular info---Social Security numbers, Driver's License Info, and conditions of employment. he and the so called banker have the bank route number as well as account number for direct deposit. He probably has stolen Flying J and TA frequent fueler cards. He took mine and others were found. Doubt he still has them. His receipts tht were found indicated tht he prefers Flying J, TA and Sapps and Pilot on occasoin.
The guy is good. It's not to hard to pick out the dead-beats at truck stops.
He signed a good friend and another couple who wanted to team drive as well, another solo driver and his wife that said she wanted a CDL but they could not afford the training and her husband would be able to provide the additional "real" training. He told them that he wanted to send her to driving school, that it is a investment for him.
After a series of events that just did not make sense we began asking questions. He gave answers that made sense but still left questions unanswered. We noticed items missing and called the police. When the police arrived they were notified by other drivers that the same thing had happened with them. The police also learned that he was talking to the staff of the truck stop about running.
I made the mistake of watching for the police and I am guessing he sensed that something was up, as he went to use the restroom and bolted. The only thing he got away with were the clothes on his back. All other items that were left behind were collected as evidence by the police department. What was found in the paperwork was the name he used to identify himself and his business information. Whether that is his name and company name has yet to be determined. There was also media that indicates that he has obsession that some people would find offensive, office supplies and a few personal items.
If you have had the situation or are approached, please send me a private note. This is my first post and I don't know for sure what the procedure is. I will not give any of his personal information that I have on a public forum.

Randy Mathews. He said he lives south of Dallas and I will remember where, check my maps. About 5'9 and almost as wide. He did have long hair and beard but cut and shaved. Another hint, ya think? Somewhere between 50-60. If there is a way to post a picture on here....I would be happy to post.
