Jake Wand - Thief, Swindler & Con Artist Pensacola, Florida

Jake Wand is a world class con artist that purports to be an "almost famous" music producer and publisher.  He usually preys on novice but wealthy entrepreneurs who want to get into the music business.  He surrounds himself with unwarry professionals in an attempt to provide his enterprise with some semblance of legitamacy.  The truth is Jake Wand is and always has been an unemployed, uneducated and untalented music industry want-a-be that uses people in elaborate "venture" schemes to steal money.  He leverages other people's good names and influence to work schemes that always have one result - money leaving your pocket into his.  He throws lavish parties with other people's money and credit cards to target the wealthy but inexperienced.  He is your friend as long as you are paying the bills.  Once the money stops, he's on to the next pigeon.  Be careful!  What begins with name dropping usually ends with him cleaning out your bank accounts.  He'll show you pictures of himself with famous musicians (Rolling Stones are his favorites), and tell you that he has a phenominal project with key industry elite.  Once you realize that he's also swindling those industry elite, its too late.  He's spent your money and off to the next guy.  Although his schemes have landed him in jail on numerous occassions, he just remakes himslef and begins again.  Word to the wise - stay clear of him.  Dont even give him a foothold.  I thought i was keeping him at arm's length, but before i knew it he had cheated half my family out of thousands. If you want to get into the music industry, hire a real manager, producer or entertainment lawyer and leave Mr. Wand to carrying your instruments or driving your van!  Good luck!
