Jeremy Michael Skeens is a scammer who has a serious gambling addiction. He meets people and does everything he can to gain their trust and then asks them to cash checks for him using their bank account. He opened a business called "Backporch at Skippers LLC" which is a marina/restaurant located on Lake Greenwood in Cross Hill, SC. He wrote me 2 bad checks on his business account under that name and he knew the checks were bad. One was for around $300 and the other was for $4300. He also wrote 2 more bad checks to me from an account in his stepfathers name. He also knew that these were bad and he didn't have authorization from the account holder to even write them.
I found out that he has done this to several people including his own mother and grandmother and his mother is about to lose her house because of it. He lies and tells people that he is a songwriter for Sony music and that he has all kinds of money, but the truth is he's flat broke because of his gambling problem. He is on probation in Kentucky for writing checks on some other person as well. At this point he has threatened the lives of me and my family because I found out what he was doing and told him I was going to turn him in. If anyone who knows Jeremy who is reading this report I encourage you to contact the police and have him prosecuted. He is no ones friend and doesn't care what he does to other people and how his scams destroy their lives as well as their credit. I am on the hook now with the bank because they say I have to pay the money to them that he took out. I hope this word gets out so that he can't do this to more people.

I recently filed a report on Jeremy Michael Skeens, however at this time I would like to update this report due to the fact that it was all a huge misunderstanding and I was very angry at first which led to the filing of that report. Mr. Skeens has gone out of his way to take care of me and the problems that had arisen that prompted me to file the report. As far as the bad checks go, the checks weren't bad it was all just a misunderstanding and he made sure the checks were paid in full. I also found out that he actually IS a songwriter and IS currently signed to the Sony record label. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any comments that I have made that are untrue and for the filing of this report since I was grossly misinformed about this individual. He is a good person whom I would gladly do business with in the future and would encourage anyone else to do as well. I would also like to apologize to Mr. Skeens for any hardship that this report may have caused him or any of his business associates. I am greatly in his debt and will do whatever necessary to right this wrong I have done by filing this report. My apologies to all.

This is also an excellent example of how a few dollars can change one's attitude ( not to mention changing a ripoff report ! ). It is so very evident that the author received a sum of money to change his original report. Seriously, how does your bank bouncing bad checks equal a "misunderstanding". The checks were bogus, and the bank bounced them. There's no "misunderstanding" there. I go with the first report as being the truthful one.

Jeremy Skeens ordered more than $700 of printing services from my company and paid with a check. The check was stop payment by the account holder because the check was unauthorized. I have tried to call, text, and email this guy and have received no response. I am going to file charges against this person this afternoon, especially having read this report of such a similar transaction form the same person. If anyone has additional information I can use to nail this guy to the wall for this, please forward to me. This happened in Kettering Ohio.

It would seem "siggy" has tried to clear his name himself...i know the original poster and everything stated is 100% truth. He tried the same shady tactics with me but with no luck. Please be cautious when dealing with this one because his selfishness knows no bounds. He will continue to use people for what he can get and toss them aside when hes done.
This guy is absolutely useless and has none of the so called business sense he insists he has..its actually quite humerous to watch once you know his scam. Anyway way good luck to those who meet this skinflint and laugh at him when he tries his scam on you.

In the interest of full disclosure: since our original report here, a police report was filed, and then the bad check was paid off in full.
