    I am interested in the war stories on here. I don't need any feedback telling me that we screwed up. We are very well aware of this and are paying for it now in more ways than one. It happened at a bad time. We came home for home time to found the house burglarized a week before this. This incident added to the stress that we just didn't need. It about put me over the edge. And, believe it or not, on my way home from the fraud, I was hit by a 53' trailer. I was very lucky and the car had minimul damage. The driver admited he made a bad pass and could only see part of the car in the mirror. A new perspective of a trailer when you are almost under it in a car and not a inspection.

    There are many deadbeats at Truck Stops. We have all heard the stories, fired, left behind, no advance, need shower, need to get home, team driver going the other way, fired by or quit in training.
    On the other hand we met a lady in Oklahoma City who was hysterical. Her mother died and her company told her to park the rig and find a way home. Knowing the company, no big surprise there. We were going the opposite direction. All the smart ### remarks over the radio made it even worse for her, and cudo's to Striker Antenna walking over them was able to help her.

    My intent here is not self pity, we know we made a HUGE mistake. My intent is to make others aware and I felt that this Truckers with the huge membership is the best way to get the word out. This guy is good. I watched him do the same thing to another couple, and two other drivers.

    What I dug out of my documents and research online which I obtained from the information that he had given me I will include. I want to emphasize that this is information that I have found. I have no way to verify it and I am passing it along as a courtesy. I don't even know if his name is Randy Mathews, I caught him in some lies and I do believe that name to be his. It is the name that he used on contracts with applicants and dealerships as well as the Coolidge, TX address.
    I also want to include the info so that when he does pull this on others, it will help prevent this from happening, even to at least one other driver. If I can help one other person, this will not be in vain. Again, I emphasize it is research and not fact.

    Lives in Coolidge Texas. No Safestat available. I did find Safestat for that company name in Georgia. He indicated he had ties in GA.
    Banking: he told me at Wells Fargo in Nashville.
    I found other info with his name from resources online that he had lived in Omaha.
    His cell phone area code is from Mexicala, Texas. The phone is in the police evidence locker. It is prepaid cell phone. I dont know if he can use that phone number again.

    He is on Facebook if anyone cares to add him as a friend, or do more research. His birthdate does not match his age.
    He lists employer as Werner. He told me he has five or six daughters, I am not sure now what he said.

    Grandmother worked at WalMart and lelft him a huge amount of stock. He used this as seed money for the company.

    Ranch in Texas to include cattle, private stocked lake and hunting.

    With a full beard and long hair he looks like a grey haired Santa Clause, is into HD's, participates in the annual Toy Run and attends Sturgis.

    Retired from the USMC 68-88 (enlisted). He looks to be in that age bracket.

    He says he has three teams running for him.

    Contracts with Coors and WalMart.

    I will try to answer any questions or give more info if I can.

    And then do what? I think I may end up with a felony. Or all three of us anyway. LOL Would be funny if he still did work there. Contacting him would probably be like talking to a wall. I certainly would give him a piece of my mind. Would not be able to do much else since he took my file folder with all the paperwork and it was not found in his belongings. Probably in a land fill somewhere. Where he should be!

    Karen,
    Once you contact Werner and they verify that he is either an employee or they can tell you the name you have is not the right one. Once you have the information you stated that Law enforcement was involved forward the information to them. Or you can get creative, that is up to you.
    Hypothetically speaking If I had this persons information making his life a living hell would not be hard to do, real name and real address.
    There is no Randy Matthews listed in Coolidge Texas, nor with the County Appraisal office as a property owner.
    Coolidge is East of Waco, TX small town, Limestone County.
    For him to have a Ranch with Cattle, and all he BS's about having I am wondering why in the World Is this Guy "recruiting". I grew up in Texas and Hauled Livestock, every time I went to the Ranch the Hand that owned it worked it full time. Tending Cattle is not a part time job lol.
    This fella is a con artist extraordinaire, so finding out who he really is and putting a stop to it might save some poor sap alot of money and heart ache.
    He might not realize it, but having someone impersonate a Bank Employee, claiming he has money is a FELONY, and to top it off if he asked you for money upfront, or anyone else, where the actual transaction took place in another state( not where the bank is located) that is Wirefraud,which is A Federal Offense. Google Thomas and Janice Reedy, they were prosecuted for many things but the kicker that got Thomas all his time was Wire Fraud, he received 120 life sentences, only 2 life sentences were from the Porn Charges, 118 counts of Wire fraud, Pretty serious crap.

    Yea, I checked Coolidge, Waco and Mexicali. Did find some others with that name in a few other places in states I know he had been. The land is not in Cooldidge, nor do I know where he said it is, if he did. Obviously the "banker" is a fraud, and yes it is a felony. As for the Ranch---he has a staff.
    He would have several other felong charges to boot, and we are lucky that no cash was exchanged. What is lost are the receipts and boxes for the merchandise that were purchased. Somethings for him as well. The only things he got away with were the clothes on his back---and as been noted, the USMC shirt.
    Porn if they consider what was found in his duffle bag, theft, criminal impersonation, wire fraud, falsification of documents among others.
    Werner is the company that shows up on his Facebook Page, some of his Friends work or not for other companies.
    He had motel receipts in the evidence and the PD was supposed to have followed up on that end and obtain a copy of his Drivers License. Last I spoke with them, we are on the low end of the priority list.
    One item that was reported missing turned up "hidden" in the trunk. A huge felony charge there, if I had not found it. I also found the so called contract I am sending to the PD and maybe that will put a fire under them.
    I may try Werner. I am just not sure if I can get anywhere knowing how some of these companies are so tight with the info they will pass on.

    I really appreciate your input and the time that you spent doing research. I have some background doing just that and I become obsessed.
    I posted in hopes of preventing this happening to someone else. Thanks for helping here, and any others as well.
    Thanks,
    Kari
