Bob Clippard Retire Early Financial Scam Artist. Insurance and Financial Planner. Buyer Beware!!! Clearwater, Florida

I met Bob Clippard at a baseball game. He said his son was a baseball pitcher for the Yankees. It turns out that was about the only thing true Bob told us. I am a single senior and found him a little aggressive on the phone and in person.   He called about four times trying to get me to agree to go out with him on a business date to talk about my retirement. I hated to accept it but he must have caught me at a weak moment. He smelled like Hai Karate after shave and cigarettes.

We went up in his plane, an old jalopy that I was terrified to get in. He said he had years of experience as a pilot and not to worry about it. He was going to just fly us around the Clearwater, FL area to get a "New Vision" of my surroundings.  He turned on the Bee Gees "Stain' Alive" over the radio and put his hand on my leg. I had known this guy not even one full day. I took his hand off my leg and he felt insulted. He lit up a cigarette with no ventilation. He said, "So maybe you won't fall in love with me, like the rest of em', but maybe Ol' Clippy can make ya some money." I couldn't believe it.

Once we got up to about 3,000 feet he pulled out a bottle of Jack Daniels and and poured it into a Styrofoam cup. He asked me if I wanted to have a swig as it would make me relax. Then he lit up a cigarette and flew the plane with one hand while he farted off the sweaty fake leather seats. I couldn't believe this guy asked me what I invested my money in. He kept farting and told me he had some irritable bowel syndrome. From the look of the stain on his jacket I think it was a burrito. I asked him if he could stop farting and he got pissed. He took his socks and shoes off and put them next to the one small vent blowing the stink into my face. I told him we would not be discussing anything. I told him I had no interest in him or his business. Once he realized I was serious he got angry and pulled the stick all the way back to make the plane do a loop and it spilled everything. He managed to land the plane and I literally never looked back as I ran to my car.

This guy is a worm.
