James Terry (might Be An Alias) Claims to be selling sports equipment to unsuspecting teams. Scam. Uses Western Union - Different locations in Florida. Las Vegas# Palm Harbor, Clearwater, Dade County (area) Florida

 I was a victim of James Terry too and wish I had known of this website and warning before. Sad that so many others had this happen to. This May, 2 months ago, I moved to Florida. Met James Terry on dating site, he was anxious to meet. The whole night he talked about him, he says he now is a Professional "Private Investigator of missing kids", a "Arena Football star "and "professional Sports gambler and bettor".

I played football too thats what we had bonded over. He gave a sales pitch, "I know the position youre in, you just moved, low on money, let me solve that for you. Im not just your lover, let me be your guiding star in a new state that seems dark" , he said if I gave him $1000 he could easily triple it at worst, do limitless things at best, because he had an " in " in the prof sports bets world.

I gave him my last money in my bank. He said "turn around time is 48 hours. these next 2 nights will be the last time youre sleeping on a Target brand pillow case, Robert. Only Egyptian Cotton after that". We had a plan to meet back at HardRock Seminole at 8pm in 3 days so he could give me the profit and for another date, he even said "just promise me you will be buying me the biggest steak dinner on the menu, Ill be calling your Robby Suave with the profits youre going to make!"

Well 3 days later at time planned he was a noshow. Did not answer my calls. I had my sister call, he DID answer her phone with a different #, she said "I am Robby's sister, hes trying to get in touch with you you have his money" he said (on speaker, we recorded it) "Sweethart, I dumped your brother.

He owes me for my time" what ever that means! Please Florida men, be careful of this proscammer. He targets those new to the state it looks like to me. Im sad to find out the hard way on this website it happened to others and on the FL public records he has grand theft felony and defraud!

Thank you to this website for helping people stay safe ans give us place to help warn the others.

Yup, thats him. Scammer gets money from you anyway he can. He scams people all over the country, says he has a place in Las Vegas and is big wooptie doodie arena football player never been married. of course at his age pushing 40 there's something wrong when he lives in clearwater with mommy and daddy still. He has no money and will tell you he can invest your money then rips you off. DO NOT invest with him!! His brother lives in New Orleans also a scum bucket. Jim Terry has no class and a filthy mouth, no respect for women or anyone who says he's no good. Well Jim, you are a no good low life maybe you should clean up your scamming act and stop spounging off mommy and daddy and unsuspecting good people and get a real job!!

Yes I beleive I know who you are referring to "Jim Terry" James Terry. Arena Football Jim Terry.....

I'm a female and met him online when I moved to Florida. We started talking, met a few times "in person." He scammed me out of a few hundred dollars saying he would invest it for me and turn it around and double it in a week... since I had just moved here and had no money.. was completely stressed out about paying my bills since I came down ...

Needless to say that never happened,....He has a brother thats an a*****e as well. 

As soon as I tried to contact him about my money he would never call me back or email me. I tried contacting his brother online.. I think it was myspace around 2007 or 2008...

He told me he played indoor arena football. bla bla bla and he did...

but always talked himself up. 

After he scammed me, I heard so many others complaining of the same thing about him. 

His father ownes a music store "Jim Terrys Music" next to a bar in Palm Harbor, FL on the corner of US 19 and Curlew Road.

He used to be the Part Owner and GM for the Mahoning Valley Hitmen and screwed them over. See http://mvhitmen.wordpress.com/

Apparently he is a con artist and a disgruntled ex football player who totally trashes all semi-pro and ameture football teams. He said "They are all thugs" but the fact is. He is a crook. He stole over 2,000 from a few different teams in a New England League.

He targets organizated sports teams. If he thinks he is getting away with this, he's got another thing coming.
You can run but you can't hide. We "all" know people who know people, who will eventually find you. Who's your Daddy? You apparently don't know mine.
