Joe Starcher Scam. Joe Starcher and his partner Tamara aka Lea Lewis disappeared as soon as we sent the wire. Chicago, Illinois

Joe introduced us to his partner in crime, Lea Lewis who's real name is Tamara Lewis located in Gilbert, AZ.  He made false claims and promises and even sent us a copy of completed transaction that supposedly he and Tamara completed.

Below is communication between Joe, Tamara/Lea and us copied from email.

Neither Tamara nor Joe had any trouble calling and emailing few times a day but as soon as they received the bank wire we have not heard from them with exception of Tamara confirming receipt of funds. Please be careful, they are really good.

Also, i am including all of the information i was able to put together on these crooks.

Beware of these people

Hi

Ive tried to reach you a few times.

I really dont want to bother you but I just need status. If youre not going to purchase and arent in need of funding anymore please just let me know.  I guess I filed to soon and thats my fault so Ill eat the charges for the amendment filing.  I always wait until the purchase is complete before I make any changes and or updates. I thought is was complete when I did a few days ago.
If you can just send me a quick email letting me know either way it would really help me. If I dont hear from you I will not contact you again.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Lea

Hi ,

I wanted to to and see what's going on with everything. The amendment to the articles is complete so i can give the lenders now. I can't go any further though because we have no wire so I don't know if you're still wanting funding.

Please let know know ASAP. The gentleman that can help you with the other is also awaiting your call.

Please get back to me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Lea
