Doug Finney - J.D. Langford & Company Aka TriState Security dishonest, knowingly writes bad checks, doesn't pay employees RIPOFF Danbury Connecticut

just wanted to share my ripoff report complaint on this guy. He is a chronic scammer.

https://www.ripoffreport.com/report/douglas-carter-summit/bronx-new-york-r-finney-jr-f-1501477

 It looks like Doug never learns. He has changed his last name to Finney-Carter, or Carter and has yet another security company: https://www.jsdprotectiveservices.com In an interview with Norwalk CT's TheHour he claims to have been a police officer in Poughkeepsie NY. https://www.google.com/amp/www.thehour.com/news/amp/NCC-students-Norwalkers-take-stand-against-8139223.php Do not do business with this person, don't give him any personal information, any money, loan, equipment, nothing. Please do your homework and a little research.

Looks like he's learned NOTHING.

Since his escape from going to jail, it appears that he's up to his old tricks again. When is this jerk going to be caught?

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Finney while I was incarcerated at Franklin CF. Randy, as he goes by, offered me a job at a company that he and a "Joe" own called Empire Services Group. He gave me a PO BOX number in CT so that we could keep in touch. He told me that he was going to be opening an office in Albany and that he would like me to manage it for him and Joe. Considering the circumstances I was very skeptical so I did a quick check of his name and it led me to this website. Randy told me that he was incarcerated because someone stole a large amount of money from his company and he ended up bouncing checks. Also he said he was in the process of getting a reduced sentence and should be out sometime this year (2007). He also told me that he was once a cop which I have not yet been able to confirm. I would like to state that Mr. finney has never done anything dishonest or unethical towards me and he was actually very pleasant to work with. If he was trying to do the same to me as he has done to other people than Im glad I found out about this as soon as I did. If he does intent to rip off people in the environment that he is currently in he is in for a treat. Thanks for the infrmation.

Doug Finney has been released from North Carolina jail and is currently in the custody of Orange County Jail. Orange County and Ulster County both have charges pending against Mr. Finney. If you would like to add yours to the long list, contact your county's District Attorney's office.

I just heard this morning that Doug contacted someone he owed money to and told them to send a letter stating how much to a PO Box in CT. As far as I know, he only owed this person a couple grand. Funny how he hasn't contacted the person he owes several grand to (me).

He contacted this person by AOL IM. Since they have computer access in most jails, I don't know whether he's still in or has gotten out. For what it's worth, this person mailed his letter to Doug and, of course, hasn't heard anything since.

Just wanted to let everyone know that he MAY be out again and to be on your guard.

First of all let me state that I have never met Dougie and for that I'm grateful. However, my wife ran the office building that he "rented" space from. From what I hear he was a smooth talker but from the first day my wife described him I began to get suspicious. After 2 days I decided to do a cursory Internet check and within minutes found references to some bad checks he had written in a neighboring town. I immediately informed my wife who then threw him out on his a**. The point is people -- do some research. While I feel sorry for Dougie's victims (especially you Celia) 2 minutes on the Internet would have saved you a great deal of heartache. I'm not blaming you all for being victims but it's the neverending supply of overly-trusting people that keep parasites like this guy alive. Best of luck to all of you.

PS Hey Dougie,
You probably won't see this until your fat a** gets out of prison but I just wanted you to know who was responsible for exposing your Danbury scam and essentially chasing you out of town. Me! Let me know when you get out. I'd like to talk to you about your "missing" equipment.

I was called today and informed thay mr finney was arrested in north caralina and will be brought back to ny state to face further prosecution

My name is Julie. My girlfriend Korrin and I worked for J.D. Langford. First Doug had opened an office out of our home. The office was called 589 Beacon. Doug along with ourselves worked out of our home for a month until he opened the 589 Newburgh office opened.

During this time we also allowed Doug to stay in our home with us Rent-Free because he was supposibly waiting for the closing of his house at 8 Novalty Way in Newburgh.

Then on Aug.18,2005, we found out that the Newburgh office was closing due to the fact that he paid the landlord of the building a BAD check for the rental of the office space.

Now this s****.> Doug when you read this and I know that you will, I want you to know that what you did is unforgivable because you not only made us suffer, you made our daughters suffer.It is one thing to mess with me, it is a whole other relm to mess with the lives and well being of our children. Due to the BAD checks you have written us, our bank accounts are frozen and we are forced to restructure are lives. Our Children's lives have been greatly affected by what you have done to us and we have to endure their pain we are their loving mothers and thats what we are to do.

I dont know what you think gives you the right to mess up peoples lives like you have but the day you get caught My family and I will be there. our faces will be the last you will see before you go behind bars. I hope that they put you away for a very long time, wait isnt that what they do to parolee's anyway!!!!!!!!

Well, now he owes me even more money. Before I left CT, he said he would return the cable equipment for me and, since I stupidly still believed him then (sort of), I trusted him to do it (he probably ended up pawning them). Now Comcast has sent a collection agency after me for over $800 for their d**n equipment. Will this ever end? Warn everyone you know in the CT or NY areas to beware of this guy. I'm gonna see if I still have any pics of him so I can post those on here as well and you'll know who to avoid, in case he's using a different name.

Further to the situation with Avis, I was contacted by them and they're demanding I pay them $3000 for the vehicle.
The actual letter states 'The extent of damages sustained by our automobile during your rental period is summarized above'. Does this mean they recovered the vehicle and Mr Finney crashed it? (considering the way he drives, that wouldn't surprise me) Or are they just saying that they're writing it off as a loss because he hasn't returned it and they can't locate him? Whatever the case, they won't be getting anything unless Mr. Finney decides to grow up and pay me what he owes.

Doug, if you read this, I hope they catch you, throw you in jail and throw away the key. With charges of Grand Theft Auto, Fraud (for all the bad checks you've written) and violation of your probation, I'm sure they'll put you away for a long time.

Since you don't give a d**n about your mothers opinion of you, I'll just say that I'm sure your grandmother would have another stroke if she knew of all the crap you're pulling. I bet you're so proud of yourself.

Doug,

This is david. Yes, I have joined others in their quest to find you. I am ready to take all legal action necessary to get my money. Enough is enough, come out from where you are and face whats coming to you.

1. Celia.. If you would like to work final details out, contact me via e-mail. You still have it I would assume.

2. Larry... Grow up and stop living off of other peoples drama. I am sure that you have more than enough of your own.

Douglas,

I'm sure that Joe and Celia are shaking in fear knowing that you will be seeking legal counsel to explore civil charges. You gonna drive down to the lawyer's office in that stolen rental car and pay the attorney with one of your company checks? You gonna sue me, too?

Doug, there is no 'plotting' between myself and Joe or anyone else. If you have issues with Joe, you need to discuss it with him.

As for seeking legal counsel in response to what was said on this site, we both know that everything I have stated is true and I have the documentation to back it up. You knew I was willing to settle for a lesser amount but kept lying and giving me excuses about why you couldn't come up with the funds. I bent over backwards to help you out and all you've done is lie and jerk me around.

All I want is the repayment of the money I loaned you and my wages for May. Is that asking so much? And you need to return the rental car to Avis because I am not going to pay for it and have advised them of the situation in a letter. A copy of that letter was sent to you if you'd bother checking your p.o. box in Ridgefield.

I don't know what Joe wants to discuss with me or what the situation is up there. That's not my problem and I really couldn't care less. If you had just paid what you owed me, things would have never gotten to this point.

It's your own actions that put you in this situation and you need to start taking responsibility for it instead of trying to blame it on everyone else.

I find it very screwed up that my "friends" have turned their backs as such. Mr. Reardon, Joe from the 9-2 comment, had sent me an e-mail only hours earlier saying that he was there for me and wanted to make sure that things were taken care of. Right... So now, you are looking to talk to Ms. Wenzel why? How did you even know it was Celia? Have you been plotting with Celia? Interesting... I have nothing to say in regards to the alegations. If the police are indeed doing any investigation into anything, I have yet to hear about it. I also would like to know all parties involved.. I will be seeking legal counsel to explore civil charges in response to your postings here. Good luck, and god bless.

CELIA THIS IS JOE IF YOU CAN E-MAIL ME AND GIVE ME A PHONE # TO CALL YOU AT THE NY POLICE ARE AFTER HIM FOR THE SAME STUFF

THANKS

If he still has the car, you need to deal with that right away. Send him a letter demanding that it be returned and informing him of your intent to file criminal charges if it is not. If he doesn't return it, you will probably need to involve the police.

But I'm not entirely sure that the police will be able to do anything, seeing as how this is more of an "extended borrowing" situation than a "theft."

As for back wages and other money owed, I would send him an "invoice" and demand payment immediately. Of course, include a message to the effect that you will be forced to pursue legal remedies if you are not timely compensated.

If you do end up having to take him to court, be aware that most states have wage payment laws that allow for punitive damages when an employer fails to pay on time. I'm not sure if AZ has such a law, but you may wish to look into it. In Indiana, employees can get up to double the amount that they are owed.

Good luck!
