VICTIM’S OF SCAM ARTIST RAPHAEL HOLOMAN-FRANKLIN
Event on 2012-05-21 11:00:00
“Victims of Raphael Holoman-Franklin” is made up of people who have been scammed by Raphael Holoman-Franklin, a multi-state wanted scam artist criminal. His M.O. is to impress people with bogus social concern and feigned “religious activity”, win their trust, and scam them. When he isn’t stealing from people via rent scams or through whatever church he’s decided to affiliate himself with for the day, Holoman-Franklin keeps busy with an Obama blog that he maintains. Given his many thefts, and the fabrication of his job, education, and personal history, this is laughable.
We in turn have created a victim’s blog with the intent of warning others about this creep at:
www.holoman-franklin.blogspot.com
“www.holoman-franklin.blogspot.com”
Here’s an overview of what his dozen or more victims have experienced. We’re sure that this list is “incomplete”:
1. 2006: Holoman-Franklin passed bad checks. Seattle, WA. police have an active warrant for his arrest in WA and two adjoining states. Their letter and contact info are on our blog.
2. 2007: H. F. sublet a room that he was renting in NYC to MULTIPLE people. Their letters and contact info are on our victim’s blog.
3. 2008: H. F. took grass roots donations from Cambridge, MA residents for the Obama campaign and kept them. There’s no record of them having been turned in.
2008: H. F. rented an apartment from Clifford Truesdell, in Cambridge, “decided to sublet”, at the last minute, rented it to multiple people, and fled with almost ,000.
2008: Tom Queisser, of Germany, rented a Cambridge house to Holoman-Franklin based on recommendations from people at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. Holoman-Franklin sublet it and fled with ,000.
2008: H.F.’s employer, Trinity Episcopal Church in Boston, MA, issued a warning re: him to their clergy. See our blog.
4. After these thefts, Holoman-Franklin fled to St. Bede Abbey, in Peru Ill. to hide. Victims contacted the abbot, who asked him to leave. Letters from the abbot with contact info are on our blog.
5. After leaving St. Bede, Holoman-Franklin went to a Catholic Parish in Ft. Dodge, IA. and “borrowed” (stole) money from parishioners by telling them that he was a monk from St. Bede.
6. 2009: Holoman-Franklin returned to Cambridge, MA and tried to let himself into Queisser’s home, thinking him to be in Germany, with a copy of a key that he’d kept.
7. H.F. next showed up in Cambridge living with a family on Essex St., just doors down from some of his 2008 victims. The father became suspicious when Holoman-Franklin made claims about his “education at Yale” that the father knew to be lies. He Googled his name and told him to leave.
Do NOT trust this fraud. Contact the police, or us, via our blog, if you have been victimized.

NY Used Cars Scams: How to Recognize and Avoid Them
Event on 2012-05-21 00:00:00
Many shoppers look for used cars as their next purchase while some sellers are taking advantage of buyers. NY used cars may be part of scams as buying used cars gets more and more popular.
LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y. – NY used cars have become a hot commodity as the economy continues to linger between recession and recovery. For this reason, not all shoppers are searching for new cars when they decide they want to bring another car to their lineup. As tempting as some prices may seem, Long Island City Auto Group wants to warn shoppers about the dangers as scams are getting more popular.
“There are different places for customers to visit to buy cars such as dealerships and sometimes private sellers,” said Paul Passarelli, General Manager of Garden City Mazda, a Long Island City Auto Group dealership. “The only problem with trying to buy a used car from a private seller, especially over the Internet, is the possibility of being scammed out of hard earned money. We want our shoppers to know that we offer promotions and competitive prices, so you can feel confident when buying from us with no need to go through the unknown seller.”
NY used cars offered at Long Island City Auto Group dealerships come with a sense of security that may not be found with the unknown seller that a shopper may find on Internet websites such as Craigslist. As with any commodity that goes up in price, scammers are paying attention to the best ways to get money for nothing, and Long Island City Auto Group wants to share how to avoid some scams.
The Internet scam being repeated most often includes a seller that offers the same kind of characteristics every time:
• very busy and unable to physically meet
• believable story as to why the price is so incredibly low
• offers security by saying money that is wired by the buyer is held while the vehicle is delivered for inspection
• VIN numbers and photos are direct from reputable websites such as Kelley Blue Book
Long Island City Auto Group has heard the many different problems that shoppers have to deal with as fake sellers trying to sell NY used cars. Long Island City Auto Group wants all customers to know that its three dealerships—Long Island City Hyundai, Garden City Mazda and Long Island City Mitsubishi—carry high quality used vehicles that are offered with real security for shoppers.
With the many options available, Long Island City Auto Group encourages shoppers to visit its dealerships before considering other alternatives. Associates are standing by to help customers narrow down the options for the vehicle they want at the right price.
