*** URGENT UPDATE *** April 8, 2010 *** URGENT UPDATE
Richard Buckman is soliciting funds for some sort of "real estate deal" in Texas. He is using the EXACT same language to eek out a few bucks here and there while he is "waiting on a $15,000 check". Do not send him any money - Richard Buckman is a CON ARTIST. We do that know he is flat broke, and behind on his rent as recently as a few weeks ago. He is desperate and will say anything to get your money. He even jumped a check for $18.25 at a VFW!
He seems to be pulling his patented "the investors are coming to town" move. He pulled this on us, too - only we were the unknowing investors at the time. When I got to Nashville, I met a lot of the other people he was ripping off. I didn't know all this at the time, but hindsight is 20/20. Please don't make the same mistake!
Buckman was in jail for about 9 months AFTER pleaing down charges from the IRS. Well, it didn't take long for him to fall back to his old habits. We will post everything we have learned about him here as we have time to compile all the info we have recieved from your emails. We are also being mindful of preserving your privacy so its not as easy as just pasting them here. Keep them coming and we promise to be more timely with updates now that he is active again. However we thought it important to get this out asap.

- We just found out Richard Buckman was evicted
from his
downtown Hattiesburg, Walnut St.
apartment on June 6, 2008 for "failure
to pay several months rent."
- At one point Buckman's stall tactic was to blame the FBI. He claimed to be working with the FBI as an informant in an effort to get his IRS issues resolved. We don't know if these are more lies or not, but he claimed to be rolling on some folks he worked for and others in political circles. He also is claiming the FBI is holding his money hostage!
- While
we, and others, await payment, Richard Buckman was living in a fancy
new apartment in downtown Hattiesburg.
We are continuing to compile all of the information on this con artist as it comes in.
