this man is an absolute conman and thief.  i had purchased 3 watches from him.  the 3rd watch ended up being a fake.  luckily a watchmaker who maintains my collection for me, noticed some details that were concerning to him when it was delivered from london.  it was then looked at by 2 other watchmakers, and they confirmed the same.

i immediately contacted baring, and he said he was sorry, and he would return the money immediately.  he asked me to return the watch.  the next day i returned the watch via certified post, and it was signed for and accepted back.  he called and said he had received it and he would return the money.

weeks started going by and no money, and he began hiding.  finally after many weeks of this, he finally responded.  he claimed that he had a "nervous breakdown" from getting caught stealing from others.  he swore that he would return the money as soon as he recovered from his breakdown.  

needless to say, i was flabbergasted.  i was now out the watch and the money.  in 2 further conversations, he advised me that i am "lucky", because he could have stolen more, but he refrained from it.  he also told me that he was "annoyed" by my anger at being stolen from, and i was lucky because he was even taking my calls.

this man is a predator.  after finding out, post-fact to my being victimized, that he has done this to many others, over many years, i was determined to seek justice.  he uses a very similar modus operandi, in reading other victim's statements, in that he will perform a valid transaction or two, and then steal on the 3rd or 4th time.  this way he builds confidence with his victim.  hence the reason a conman garners his name through confidence building.

i sought legal remonstration in the courts, and i have been successful in winning a judgment against stephen baring.  i am in the process of executing the judgment against him.  he will continue to perform these transactions against unsuspecting folks i am sure, so i hope this will serve as a warning to others.

it is predictable that he has attacked the other folks who he has undoubtedly stolen from also through this website, and that is why i am standing with those other victims against his predatory behavior.  he is an experienced criminal, and he would like the public to believe that many people from countries all around the world all complain about him stealing, but it must be a conspiracy against him?  it is laughable and ludicrous.

i hope that others seek their day in court, and he is put behind bars for being a criminal that continues to practice his craft on an unsuspecting public.  it would be nice if scotland yard got off their behinds, and actually did their jobs.  and yes, i did contact them, but it is actually the NATIONAL FRAUD SYSTEM, in the uk, that has been the most help.  

please feel free to contact me and i would be happy to assist any other victims to help seek justice against this predator.

POSTED: Tuesday, February 27, 2018

Recent events force me to ask perhaps the obvious - is Stephen Mark Hugh Jones, Stephen Mark Hugh Baring, Stephen Baring Jones, Stephen Baring, all the same person?

Don't Blame the Interns

AUTHOR: Henry James - (United Kingdom)

POSTED: Monday, September 12, 2016

Stephen Baring was 100% a conman, and your story reads true. I too was stung by him for the value of my Patek Philippe watch, which he bought to sell on my behalf and has now disappeared. However, this was Stephen. 

 

He had 2 university students working with him for 4 weeks over the summer, Hemal Pandit who dealt with watches, and Vani who dealt with art. These two students should not be tarred with the same brush. I personally dealt with both and they were helpful and honest - ignorant of anything techinical, and doing as they were told to impress the boss to get a job. 

 

Neither work for him anymore, both left at the end of a 4 week internship and as resident in the UK, such reports can do damage to young students if not rectified. I am still in the process of pursuing Stephen Baring. I have contacts of his two watchmakers in London, and can share anything I know if required.

I was not able to see the contact information to help you.  this is because we are being made victims once again by this site, because it will not even allow us to contact eachother!  i do not see the point of this website if it does not allow victims of crime to even interact and assist one another, and by extension help one another, in getting any form of remonstration.  this site will not even allow victims to share their info with one another.  very disconcerting that there is no vehicle to provide one anothers info to eachother.  i wish i could help you.  try ate for ate, fore for ate, sicks 3 nein one.  thats the only way maybe you can do it hopefully.  i have had great success in following the system.  thank you, daniel

Attention: Daniel

AUTHOR: Ken Victorious - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 28, 2016

 Hi Daniel,

I was defrauded and scammed by Baring and really need your help.  I was told by more than one told by more than one source that because I live in the U.S., I had near a 100% chance of not recouping any of the near $ 38,000 that Baring stole.

Please contact me at (((REDACTED)))   

Baring is the reason why I was on the cusp of homelessness. 

He labeled me a pathetic, one-eyed loser.

K.
