I thought long and hard about writing anything on this site, but I do feel it's appropriate given the circumstances. Had I know about James Tindell and his background prior to becoming financially involved with him, I would not have done so.

James Tindell is a director of First Commodities Corp. From the website, one would believe that it's a large private bank successfully managing the funds of wealthy clients. It may be a really successful corporation and there may be well credentialed fellow directors who are experts in managing other people's money.

However, I personally know few people who have come into contact with James Tindell who have not regretted it financially. While there may be a client somewhere who is happy with First Commodities Corporation (I cannot vouch for the testimonials on the First Commodities Corp website), I personally know several people who have suffered financially as a result of James actions.

James Tindell was my former tenant. Regrettably, my leasing agent did not do a background check. Had this been done, I would never have leased my property to him. He disappeared from my property without trace leaving me several thousand dollars out of pocket. There were also several months of unpaid utility bills. I feel I got off lightly.

James Tindell offered a job to the lady working on my condo security desk. She left a reliable job to work for him and several months (and several bounced checks later), she had to relocate back to the Carolinas, her, and her husband's lives in financial ruin.

James said that he was dating a Russian doctor and in fact bought her a ring costing over $20,000 from the jeweler in the commercial part of my building. The jeweler didn't get paid for the ring but fortunately got his ring back.

James Tindell is not the kind of person I would want to have managing my financial affairs EVER.

Incidentally, if James Tindell happens to read this and wants to make amends by paying the monies he owes me, I'll very happily write a rebuttal, outlining how he has paid me in full and so on. But until that time¦.

More disturbing news about James Tindell aka Jim Charles Tindell

AUTHOR: Cisk - Atlanta (U.S.A.)

SUBMITTED: Sunday, June 29, 2008

While surfing the internet, I found images of James C Tindell. On the glossy website of First Commodity Corporation? Unfortunately no. I was looking at the FL Department of Corrections website. It seems according to this site, that Mr Tindell is an absconding fugitive and is wanted for parole violations. (His convictions include Fraud -over $50,000, Fraudulent use of ID - $75,000, Depositing Check with intent to defraud (I can relate to this one personally).

A little further digging on the Georgia Department of Corrections website and it seems that James Tindell was released from incarceration only days before leasing my property. The charges he was convicted of (there are several dating back to 1997) include , fraud, fraudulent use of credit card, theft by taking and so on. It greatly concerns me that someone in this position is the Director of a Bank.

I'm having some difficulty posting the links to James pages on both of these sites. I feel that with further digging, there will be more James Tindell images somewhere.

I'm all for giving ex convicts the chance to make good on their previous bad behavior, repay society and become, eventually, upstanding members of society again. I don't believe that this is the case with James Tindell. He started messing people around for his own financial gain immediately on release from prison. James, I'm still here if you want to send me the money you owe me. As previously stated, I'm happy to say you've paid and all is now well (if that ever happens, somehow, I doubt it).

One further item from First Commodity Corporation. Their website claims that there are several hundred staff working for this company. I would be amazed if this were the case. If it were the case, wouldn't they have a telephone number that could connect you to a real person...

Add Iowa to the List of Problem States for James Charles Tindell

AUTHOR: Cisk - Atlanta (U.S.A.)

SUBMITTED: Monday, June 30, 2008

A little more digging around and I found this on the internet

http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/states/Iowa/00-0118.asp.html

This is a link to an Opinion of the Supreme Court of Iowa. In essence, it's the reporting of an appeal by James Charles Tindell about a case in which he had previously entered a plea of guilty to Fraudulent conduct.

There's a bit of a recurring theme here.

Eddie Timmons - possible alias for James C Tindell..?

AUTHOR: Cisk - Atlanta (U.S.A.)

SUBMITTED: Monday, June 08, 2009

A lot of mail is arriving at a condo I own for an Eddie Timmons. This person could be an alias of James C Tindell. The mail looks very suspicious and seems to be one demand after another. One letter looks like a demand from a leasing company (car). All of it has been returned to sender.

However, I suspect that this person might in fact be James Tindell. possibly, he has tried to secure credit in this person's name? Who knows?

I reiterate my warning to you to be very wary of anyone who claims to be James C Tindell or Jimmy Tindell. He's a dishonest person who cannot be trusted in any way with money.

Add Georgia to the list of States that James Tindell has been incarcerated

AUTHOR: Cisk - Atlanta (U.S.A.)

SUBMITTED: Monday, November 09, 2009

More forwarded demands in the mail (at least that's what they appear to be) for James Tindell led me to check if he was considered a felon in Georgia too. It seems he is too with a nice long list of previous convictions.

I'm sure James isn't using his real name James Tindell at the moment. The Dept of Corrections site suggests he may be using Jim Charles Tindell or Jimmy Tindell.

I'd strongly suggest you search for him on line (at the Dept of Corrections site) to get an idea of a recent picture of him

James is pretty gray haired, but dyes it a darker color (for reasons which became much clearer after he disappeared). And James, I'm sure you're reading this. I'm always happy to print a retraction if you do the decent thing and pay what you owe!

Update on the above report. A little while ago, a police officer called me to ask me about James Tindell. He told me that James Tindell was in prison in the US Virgin Islands for fraud. The US Virgin Islands?? Some people have all the luck...!

Seriously, it seems as though James Tindell cannot be trusted with money in any way shape or form. Doubtless, he will try to use another name. Eddie Timmons was a name that the police office mentioned as being interesting.
