I met this person on Match.com, end of September 2011. He presented himself as an used, newly divorced man. The same sob story, wife took the house, purposely lost the house, never paid any bills, and everything else under the sun. A lot I will leave unsaid. He appeared to be a very caring man, giving to everyone. At first it was true. Then, he needed things, he had no money due to the ex-wife getting everything. Had a huge IRS bill, state bill, lawyer bills. I ended up helping him out by paying out the following in parenthids:
I helped with IRS payment (250); helped him with legal fees to get another attorney ($200); a lap-top computer as he changed to OTR job and needed internet ($750); money for kayaking with the buds ($200); a cedar chest for his daughter ($150); did his taxes ($50); took his 2 adult sons' taxes to my accountant ($75); paid his 21 yo sons state taxes ($65); clothing needs ($300); food ($250); house hold items as had none ($300). He was to pay me back.
He asked me to marry him, he was going to move in to save money. But he changed his mind (3 times), as at the end of November 2012, he moved his 24 yo son in and his 21 yo old son. I know that they live there for free and don't do any chores to help him out around the house. Still not the issue.
I introduced my young son to him and of course my son got attached. This person was my 'son's best friend for 1.5 years. On Thursday, December 18, 2013, he dumped me via text. No explanation, no reason, nothing. Silence. I tried to called, leave messages, texts. I can accept being dumped (but never had been, this was my first), except for the amount of money he promised to pay me back. I cannot find this man anywhere, and he refused to be honest and do what he promised.
My problem is two-fold. I am an adult, I can take care of myself, but this man involved my special needs son, who thinks this person died, and he and I both are in mouring. as It is like a death when someoe is just gone. My problem is he took thousands of dollars from me, and he involved my son. This man is a user, scam artist. and I don't want anyone else to suffer at the hands of this man. Don't date him, he himself has learning issues, and is limited in his capacity to earn money. He has many demands on what jobs he wants to do or won't do. I fell for it, I believed him. However, I won't see my money as I don't have the time to hunt him down to make him pay me back. Also, I tried to contact his church for help with my son. His church refused to call me back with a the name of a church in my area to get help for my son and myself. As this is devasting. This person says he is a christian, but don't believe it, christians would not treat a special needs child that way, and leave a single woman thousands of dollars in the red.

He's at it again - Just trying to help others

First, I understand that Greg Smith of Jenison is going to tell women that the report was first filed in 1/2014 as retaliation from the origianal author being dumped. Any person can take it any way they wish. I have personal, first hand knowledge of what happened with the man, and know and have seen every single piece of paper, receipt and talked with the special needs son. This young man to date, the date of this update is still hurting. Now, for Greg Smith to dump a special needs child and a woman is the most cowardly act. So, if he did it to one, he will indeed do it again. He has the history and track record to show this. Greg Smith, himself is considered special needs, so for another person to treat another special needs child that way, well says a lot of his character.
Now, Greg Smith is at it again. He is on Match.com (smitty6958) and OurTime (ppaddlingriver). Greg does not provide a photo, and I have contacted him on both sites. 1st, on Match.com he has lied about his age. One cannot trust a man who lies about a silly little thing like that, he is not 51. On OurTime.com he says, "I am a godly man, I have integrity, love my family and friends, and I want to please my woman." Really? A man who said he is godly and with integrity and has not changed a bit and post lies on dating sites, well . . . contacter beware.
Good luck ladies.

Update about Greg J. Smith, Jenison, Michigan
AUTHOR: Mary Smith - ()

I personally had to help the victim of Greg Smith's cowardness, by burning his sisters Cathy's, trashy fence Greg Smith left at the victims residence. $350 worth of expense.
The victim has also had a depty (BW) of the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office calling for her due to Greg Smith's false claims of whatever. Mr. Smith was upset that the victim didn't want the fencing his sister, Cathy, didn't want. It does not mean that another person's trash is another person's treasure. Trash is trash.
Whomever Mr. Smith is sleeping on his bed padding, which is owned by the victim. She bought his memory foam for his bed (a double) because it was to be for her son when he moved in. A $125 value. She also bought him an industrial waffle iron because his big-bad ex-wifey took his orginally.
Mr Smith is making himself out to be a victim which women don't know the truth. One sided information is not great.

2/17/14 - Trying to help others - Greg Smith

I don't know if Ripoff Reports puts dates when updates are put on. But,after reading what I wrote yesterday, 2/16/14, I thought I better explain.
I went to Mr. Smiths house 2/16/14 looking for my computer, I sent in the evening knowing he may be home. Not the best choice but I got tired of waiting for Mr. Smith to call me or bring back the computer. My son needs this computer for school. It was a loaner to Mr. Smith while he was OTR, he now works locally, so had no need for the computer. My son needs the Dragon Software with his problems in school. I don't have another $750 to put out for a computer, as I am divorced and that is not in my budget. Mr. Smith knows how to get ahold of me, and knows where I live. I have never been to Greg Smiths house since 1/6/14 when my son picked up his new bird and wanted Greg to see it Greg refused my son's request. So, we left, again my son heart broken. I have done nothing to warrant Joshua Smith threatening me about a restraining order. There is no purposed in this hate.
Today is 2/17/2014, and I just got this same Greg Smith as a match on another dating site, called AYI, Are You Interested. I cannot protect the ladies out there. There is nothing else I can do. I pray for all people who contact him. Best of luck.

Update - Involving Joshua Smith
AUTHOR: anonymous - ()

I am the original author of the Gregory Joseph Smith, aka, Greg Smith, Greg J. Smith report. Today with a witness I went to Greg Smith's home at **** Jension, MI 49428 - 616-821-0599 to try to get my computer I bought for his use while he was a OTR driver. I need the computer for my special needs son, who can use the Microsoft Word that I put on the computer Greg Smith is using.
I brought a friend with me just to be safe. I rang the door bell 3 times. I know someone was home as there was a car in the drive and lights on in the house. I waited, waited, praying what to do. Finally, I went through the snow to the bedroom window where I knew Joshua (the son Greg didn't think was his due to his wifes affair prior to marriage). The light was on in there, I was just hoping. I knocked on the window, and got a response. Joshua had a visitor in the room and I think I startled him. He yelled who's there. . . I tried to speak and I first thought it was Andy, as Greg said Josh was for sure moving out January 31st. So, I called Andy, Andy. I asked if he could call his father, Greg, I needed the computer.
Joshua said, "Get out of here you crazy b****." "You put my dad's name out on the internet. If you come back here again, we will put a restaining order against you, and I will beat the s*** out of you." My witness said, to get out of there. So, I left right away, without my computer that my special need sons needs for school. I don't appreciate threats.
So, Greg Smith knows I put his name out there to forwarn women. BUt, his affair that he had with me, (I believe to be Kim Emuas of Forest Hills Public Schools) but cannot confirm this as true, ignores this warning. Her mistake.
Alert to men. If you text, email, and abuse women as Greg Smith has done, what do you expect. Women need to stand up for themselves and not allow this mistreatment to occur. Not for us, but for our special needs children that are abused by these men. Do the right thing, men. Be honorable, christian.

First this is NOT A REBUTTAL but a continuation and/or clarification of what Gregory Joseph Smith, aka Greg J Smith, aka Greg Smith.
Gregory J. Smith changed job from Forest Hill Public Schools in August 2012 due to his boss not liking him, then moved to Kuperus Trucking in Jenison, and didn't like how that was run, then moved in November 2012 to Gordon Trucking out of Washington state, when he dumped me he was interviewing for Sprinter out of the Grand Rapids area. He is 50 years old as of 12/16/2013. He should know what he wants for his future job/career. This shows his addleness.
The reason I know this man is a user, and a scam artist is he waited until we had his bill all paid off before he just dispappeared. He was to start paying me back while we were engaged. As soon as his bill were off his back and put on OUR back, he jumped ship and left without a word. That is the true definition of a user and scam artist. He is real wishy washy, up and down, emotional, had anger issues, was self-centered and everything was all about him and what he could gain. Again. My fault for my ignorance, but again. He also used a special needs boy, and that is the lowest, scummest thing a man or woman could do. DO NOT DATE or GIVE MONEY to this man. Please. He will used you only until his needs are met and you will be left in the wake of his distruction. And any other person you have in your life.
