We have received so meany e-mails based on the complaint that Trotter Auto Transport.com has posted and we are going to share one with you, This is the wife of the transport company that is a member of uship and her story;
In August I discovered that James Randolph Helmes was operating a shipping scam/auto theft operation through the website USHIP.com. Upon reading the feedback on his account and contacting customers/shippers I discovered he had stolen many vehicles that were being hidden in storage facilities in various states. I then contacted the auto theft detectives in East Baton Rouge Parish who then issued warrants for the arrest of James and his brother John Ronald Helmes for wire fraud/four counts and unauthorized use of a vehicle/four counts. At this time only one charge for unauthorized use of a vehicle remains for each of the Helmes' brothers. James' wife Dana Mcanelly Helmes who is listed as the owner of the two companies they operated under, Baton Rouge Shipping Solutions and Baton Rouge Transport Solutions, was never charged for these crimes. She committed wire fraud by signing paypal receipts for money and vehicles they never delivered. They only finally conned another driver to pick up many vehicles they hid in their own yard after they realized warrants were issued for them. The driver was conned into picking them up and paying for storage fees and was never compensated for any of the money that came out of his own pocket. The USHIP account they operated under is TRANSPORTBR. The Helmes' were paid to transport the antique motorcycle from Pearland, TX to Pittsburg, PA but they chose to steal it instead then when they realized the authorities were onto them they abandoned it in a field with many other stolen vehicles behind Oneill Storage Facility in Baton Rouge, LA. The motor and body were damaged by the elements and he then had to pay several more thousand dollars to repair it. Many people finally learned were their vehicles were and had to pick them up at Oneill Storage at their own extra expense. James Helmes is a career con-artist who has been defrauding innocent hard working people for the last twenty five years by committing contractors fraud, stealing from his employers, writing many thousands of dollars worth of worthless checks, taking merchandise from business owners on credit and never paying them a dime, he owes his four daughters that he abandoned as small children over $60,000 in back child support, for which nothing is being done. He just abandoned two more small children by his secod wife. Bringing to a total of six children he refuses to support or love. These are just some of his crimes. I could never begin to know everything he has done in his despicable life as a criminal and thief. He is now in custody after being a fugitive from the law for several years. He is awaiting sentencing for Hurricane Katrina fraud charges after he stole money from homeowners who paid him to repair their homes. He stole the money and never made any repairs on their homes. The Attorney Generals in both Louisiana and Mississippi have charges against him for the Katrina fraud and at least $23,000 in worthless checks. I'm sure there are other charges that I am not aware of yet. I am waiting to hear from his probation officer what the outcome of all this will be. Hopefully many years in the worst, nastiest, most disgusting prison cell they can find. This is what this sub-human piece of garbage deserves. Adding insult to injury as if they hadn't already put us through enough his wife posted on the internet that I was still married to him and was responsible for the shipping scam/auto theft ring they ran together and posted my name and home phone # for anyone they scammed to contact me to get their money back or file charges against me. This is the wife who opened a bar with him in Baton Rouge and three weeks after they opened they told their employees that they were robbed in the middle of the night and they could not make payroll. The police could never prove or disprove this made up story so they got away with it. They make up awful lies about the people they scam and make threats of retaliation if anyone tries to bring them to justice for their many crimes. His wife is still operating a karaoke business with equipment they stole from an accoustical supply house in Baton Rouge. They are the worst of the worst. I hope they get what is coming to them. They deserve no leniency for what they have done. Please keep me informed of your progress in getting this story told as it deserves to be so the good people of this country can stop being scammed with the help of uship.com. Polly Bourke
