When I originaly contacted James Vincent through Craigslist, he was looking for a writer to write scripts for a project he was working on. He told me that he needed to hire my wife's company, and that he would need $80.00 for a background check on her. We paid him the first $40.00 last week, and then the remaining $40.00 this week. James Vincent told me that he was travelling to Arizona from San Diego to view a property that his investors had approved to create a day-long educational program for children. He called me this evening, saying that he had been in a fender bender outside of San Diego, CA, in a town called Alpine, CA. He assured me that if I could just loan him enough for a hotel for the night and an additional $10.00 for food, then I could be reimbursed fully when he arrived in Phoenix tomorrow (12/11/10). After asking for more money, my wife searched his name on the internet again - this time finding items of notice regarding James Vincent being a scammer who has done this before. We notified the local law enforcement, who then referd us to the FBI website.
