Brian Bell He ripped me off as well as others. South Bend Indiana

He said he was organizing a hockey team for a tournament in St. Louis. I have two boys to play and he said i needed to send him the money through paypal in two payments. The first payment went and then he said the second one was held up by Paypal. He called and texted over a dozen times saying he needed the money to pay for the tournement.

I gave cash to a friend that lives in his area and he gave him the money. He called to talk to my boys and told them how good he was as a player and fed them full of crap. He wanted us to pay him to help them get on a juniors team or he had connections with several colleges supposedly. He actually got rude when he was told they were gonna go to Missouri and play club hockey there. That was the last i heard from him till i sent him a text asking about the tournament and he responded that he was so busy a friend of his was gonna coach the team.

I asked him about my money that he said was held up by paypal for 28 days. He informed me that his son was the one that was taking care of that and he would remind him. I didnt get any calls or texts or emails from him till my wife called USA Hockey and was informed that his membership was revoked.  He doesnt answer his phone or text messages except after i contacted a friend. Suddenly my wife got a text messege saying we would recieve the first 125 dollars by sunday and the tournament money is still accounted for and he represents 60 kids  that have no problem with him. He never would say the name of the tournament and from all ive seen any tournaments that were suppose to be in april have been cancelled.
