A Federal LE contact is actively putting together additional Federal charges stemming from theft and wire fraud. If Anthony scammed you out of money I need to know who you are. Please send me your contact information by clicking here and I will forward that information to him directly. Even if you have sent me this information before, please contact me again.
He scammed many many seasoned and new investigators alike and many military families as well and no dollar amount is insignificant right now. Your information will remain confidential with me except that I will be forwarding that information to Federal LE only.
While you may never recover a dime from Oliver, now is the time to get your payback.
Thanks for your help!

This Blog and Two Astute Ex-Military Members Leads to Anthony Oliver's Arrest!
Finally, Success...
It has been a long couple of years chasing Anthony Oliver wherever he went and trying to shut down his scams at every turn.
I knew that the work I put into this website would one day pay off and am proud to say that Anthony Oliver is in jail today as a result of two very astute ex-service members:
One of the employees left me a comment about the whole thing here:
https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7070802327758447242&postID=9152756252559842530&pli=1
Apparently, Tony Oliver went to work at a military surplus store in Tucson, AZ where he told them during the hiring process that he was an ex-Marine and had done 4 or 5 tours in Iraq. When Tony brought in his fake Marine Corps uniform, two employees noticed that the ribbons pinned to the uniform were damaged and not in the correct sequence; a little further research and they found that not only were they out of sequence, that at least one of them had not been issued since 1965!
I would add that one ribbon signified that Anthony Oliver was awarded the Silver Star...
How about some charges under the "Stolen Valor Act?"
These two guys knew that something was up... so they started their own investigation that led them and store management back to the Anthony Oliver Blog. They all did the right thing, and exactly what I asked our readers to do, they called the Tucson Police Department who promptly arrested Tony at work within minutes. It should be noted that he was allegedly apprehended with store merchandise that was not paid for: a pair of handcuffs and a pair of pants.
(Are you stealing from your employer, Anthony? Tisk tisk.)
Anthony was being held on 4 separate charges out of Arizona and I understand that there is a warrant out for him in Minnesota too.
The frustrating part is that the felony warrant out of San Diego County has been a real issue... first it was non-extraditable, then it was extraditable after a bunch of phone calls and a lot of effort; now I am finding out that it may not be extraditable again.
That's your San Diego criminal justice system working for you citizens of California! Anthony, when he gets out, will go back to being a POS again because the entire CJ system allows people like him to continue to get away small scams with hazy jurisdiction. Victims suffer, military families suffer and nothing is done about it.
In any event, a huge thank you to those of you who called the police. GREAT JOB! I appreciate your efforts. We'll just wait and see what happens now.

Anthony Oliver is Wanted on a Felony Warrant in San Diego County California!
Just as I was thinking that it has been waaaaaay too quiet around here as it concerns Tony Oliver, I get a call from a San Diego County Sheriff's Office Investigator who regularly enjoys the Anthony Oliver Scam Theft and Fraud Clearinghouse since issuing a felony arrest warrant for Oliver on 9/2/08 under California Penal Code 245(c).
CA PC 245(c) Any person who commits an assault with a deadly weapon or instrument, other than a firearm, or by any means likely to produce great bodily injury upon the person of a peace officer or firefighter, and who knows or reasonably should know that the victim is a peace officer or firefighter engaged in the performance of his or her duties, when the peace officer or firefighter is engaged in the performance of his or her duties, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for three, four, or five years.
Here is proof from the San Diego County Sherrif's Office, Wanted Persons, website:
http://apps.sdsheriff.net/warrant/waarDetail.aspx?RECD_NBR=152801
Click the pic for a larger view.
The investigator shared some details of the arrest warrant with me, though I have been asked not to share all of the details. I am happy to say that I was told that this entire blog was copied and given to the prosecutor in the anticipated motion and order for "No Bail" since Anthony Oliver is obviously a flight risk.
Needless to say, this is probably the best news I have gotten in a few years but I am very sorry for the victim in this matter; he was a firefighter.
If you are hiding Anthony Oliver or know of his whereabouts then you need to be advised that most people I know think that he is a dangerous pathological liar and you are probably not safe. You could be charged with Harboring a Fugitive and Aiding and Abetting. Anthony Oliver hurt one of our public service heroes and he must face his crimes rather than run like the coward we all know him to be. You can either be a part of the solution or the problem. Please email me at bondforfeitures@gmail.com or leave me a comment through this blog with his whereabouts and remain absolutely anonymous.
Anthony, you truly are a douche. You will be caught soon; you have to get lucky everyday while the police only have to be lucky once. I will be helping them and working everyone I know for information about you. You know I am VERY good at what I do and now I have exactly what I need to get involved.
Finally, you will go to jail and spend many dozens of years behind bars in a California State Prison where you will inevitably piss someone off and get shanked. I can't wait to see all of the
Aryan Brotherhood and Nazi Low Rider tattoos you are going to collect as your bitch ass gets passed around.
Sleep tight, Buddy.

A New Anthony Oliver Video
A new video homage to Anthony by Morticia!
You have to hit the play button to get it started. Great choice in background music! "Detachable Penis" by King Missle and "Liar" by the Henry Rollins Band. Very appropriate.

Tony Oliver and Tucson Craigslist
Tony had an ad on craigslist. He said that he was being transferred by coca cola from Tucson to New Mexico. He had a frig and bbq for sale. When I contacted him @ phone number 520-396-9938, he said that he would give it to me for free. He said he was in Paige, AZ and needed me to go to greyhound and pay $71 for a ticket to Tucson so he could open the storage called Lock-It Lockers. He also said that he was traveling with his little girl and he left his bag in the restroom on the bus when his little girl had an accident. His story kept changing. I don't know if this is the same guy, but hopefully people can catch this idiot. Below is the craigslist post. He is emailing from Sweetmarineguy26@aol.com
REFRIG AND BBQ. ONLY 285.00

Tony Oliver Loses his MySpace Page!
Another reader, and member of the Tony Oliver Haters Club, managed to convince the powers that be at MySpace to remove his page for violating their terms of service after he posted the "My House Burned Down Send Me Money Scam".
He loved that page... Well, if you're gonna be a dick, expect a lot of people to jump on the Hater Train and make life inconvenient.
Great job, Chandler! Thanks for your help in shutting the scammer down.
I'll give free access to my new online skip tracing course to the first person that sends me the address of his new personal MySpace page when he gets it up and running. I don't need the address of any of his "imaginary friends'" pages but if you want to send them in I will list them here.
Sorry Anthony, you don't qualify for the giveaway.

Anthony Oliver Makes YouTube!
A reader submitted this video to me today via a comment and I just couldn't resist posting the video...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_UEzhNA3cc
Thanks "Morticia" and I appreciate the link credit and the work to bring Anthony Oliver to the light on your blog!
It should be noted that his "600th" Arrest was actually his on again / off again girlfriend and if you look closely, the location is the same place where he "flushed the crack" and stole the beer.
This was really good for your first video but some music would have been nice though... how about Dennis Leary's song "Asshole" or the one with Willie Nelson and Toby Keith "Beer for My Horses;" I have the .mp3s if you need one of them. While I am placing an order... how'bout a link back to his blog too?
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, eh?

Anthony Oliver's Latest Scam on MySpace: Fire! Fire! Help Me! Help Me!
This bulletin was posted from Anthony Oliver's (AKA Bail Cop) Myspace Account on Sunday afternoon.
Does anyone find this as horrific as I do? When people commit this type of fraud, they are making it much more difficult for people to give to those who are really in need.
Read below his post for my analysis:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From: BAIL COP
Date: Aug 10, 2008 3:14 PM
Subject: I lost my house in a bad fire.
Body:
Late yesterday BAIL COP AKA Tony Oliver has lost his small house that he was renting in California to a bad fire that Riverside Coutnty Fire department determined to be an accident steming from the house next door.
Tony and his two kids were immeaditly taken from the charred house and taken to red cross. A fund was set up by the Riverside County Sheriffs Department to help re-establish his personal belonging. The owner of the property did not any type of insurance.
Tony needs our help and I am the first in line with a 50 dollar donation. I will also post the bank information for all to see if they can help our Iraq hero and former cop who REALLY needs our help. I am personally asking my police department to help with what they can. Tony, Destiny, and Brandon lost 95 percent of all belongings. So please lets get to gether and help this Marine.
You may go to any wells fargo to make a deposit toward this Marine and his two kids.
Thank you for all that has read this positng.

FIrst, why is a guy named "Wayne" posting through Anthony Oliver's Own MySpace account? The subject line says, "I lost my house in a fire" but the rest of the post seems to be written in the 3rd person- about Tony Oliver. There is some confusion as to who exactly is writing this thing which tells me that Tony is slipping up pretty badly in his ability to keep his stories and identities straight. Why didn't he just post this from one of the several fake MySpace accounts he's set up just so that he has some imaginary friends to play with?
Secondly, I called the Riverside County Sheriff's Department - (951) 955-2400 - and no fund for Oliver exists. In fact when the desk sargeant heard Anthony Oliver's name she put me on hold and forwarded me to the Investigations Division. That was a great conversation. Then I called the Riverside County chapter of the American Red Cross - (951) 656-4218 - and they had no record of Anthony and his two kids or taking in anyone in the last 2 days that fit his profile. Just to make sure, I called the Riverside County Fire Department - (951) 940-6900 - and they had no logs of a structure fire involving the named residents.
This is Not surprising at all really when I know that he is was no where near Riverside on Sunday nor has he lived there in some time. I really didn't expect to learn anything other than Anthony is lying again in an effort to defraud more people.
Lastly, *again* Anthony Oliver was NEVER in the US MArine Corps or in Iraq; he is most certainly not a hero- just ask all of the victims of his continued fraud. I find it funny that he is now claiming to have been a police officer when the closest he has ever been to a law enforcement officer was the last time he was being arrested.
AND What kind of dumb ass would post his own personal bank account information on the Internet????
Don't you know that there are all kinds of Nigerians who are sending millions of 419 scam emails a day trying to get that kind of information?
Well if he doesn't care, then neither do I.

Anthony Oliver says that he is a confidential informant- how confidential is that?
I had a funny conversation with Anthony Oliver not too long ago that I just had to share...
Anthony is now apparently a confidential informant and asked me to take this blog down.
HAHAHAHAHA! It will never!
Not until he sends me a pciture of himself in his Marine Corps Dress Uniform showing off the Bronze Star and Purple Heart he is telling everyone he earned for his service in Iraq.
You see... Tony Oliver was NEVER in the U.S. Marine Corps. EVER. And the closest he's gotten to Iraq was when he was ripping off Military Service Member's families with his scams.
The way I figure it his only option is to actually join the Marines, go to Iraq and figure some way to legitimately earn the Bronze Star while being injured in battle. Wouldn't that be some shit.
Enjoy the dialogue, I did:

Long gone from Fullerton for a reason old buddy.
Who knows I might be right in your back yard again. Watching you cut the grass again. Its good your a member of the yahct club. Great club.
Oh also your boy Matt from Midwest and his street hunter boys are in for a real big surpise. They just dont know it yet. Its amazing what a security camera from an apartment complex catches on tape. Well thats what the North Hoolywood Detectives of the LAPD said not me.
Theres a old saying. All good things must come to an end. And since it will. A biach is a coming there way. Thats why I had to move asap. My safety comes first.
Poor Matt hired some convicted Felons. Thats against the law in all states minus one or two if you will. What going to hurt the most to them is that they didnt know that I am a confidentual informant for a specialzed unit of the LAPD organized crime bureau. Thats why I kept telling these stupid idots to take and book me at any LAPD station and they wouldnt.
Scott, the law clearly states that you can't TORTURE fugitives in your custody. Thats in humane.
Well got to run, but I will posting up some new photos that I took yesterday in Miami. Had to get a way and have some fun.
Take care,
Anthony
P.S. You ever wonder why I never get in trouble for anything? Well it helps to be a confidental informant. If you ever get into trouble, just give a little info. Fuck the other guy. Take care of yourself first.

"If you ever get into trouble, just give a little info. Fuck the other guy. Take care of yourself first."
Apparently a lot of guys feel that way.
Felons??? Who'd be that stupid, especially in California? Who was is it? Anyone I know? Did they actually TORTURE you or is that another "fib" you're telling these days???? (You can't blame me for asking.) Besides, I thought Matt had already paid off your bond.
Regardless, no one deserves to be treated less than respectfully dude.
BTW, I hire people to cut my grass. Enjoy Miami- it's a beautiful place.

I am not lying in this matter. If you call Matt at Midwest Bonding he can confirm that I was picked up. Or if you know a BEA named Zeke Unger he is out of Los Angeles that can also confirm. Just call the guy LUCKY and talk to him and he will tell you exactly what he did.

Anthony is now apparently a confidential informant and asked me to take this blog down.
HAHAHAHAHA! It will never!
Not until he sends me a pciture of himself in his Marine Corps Dress Uniform showing off the Bronze Star and Purple Heart he is telling everyone he earned for his service in Iraq.
You see... Tony Oliver was NEVER in the U.S. Marine Corps. EVER. And the closest he's gotten to Iraq was when he was ripping off Military Service Member's families with his scams.
The way I figure it his only option is to actually join the Marines, go to Iraq and figure some way to legitimately earn the Bronze Star while being injured in battle. Wouldn't that be some shit.
Enjoy the dialogue, I did:

Long gone from Fullerton for a reason old buddy.
Who knows I might be right in your back yard again. Watching you cut the grass again. Its good your a member of the yahct club. Great club.
Oh also your boy Matt from Midwest and his street hunter boys are in for a real big surpise. They just dont know it yet. Its amazing what a security camera from an apartment complex catches on tape. Well thats what the North Hoolywood Detectives of the LAPD said not me.
Theres a old saying. All good things must come to an end. And since it will. A biach is a coming there way. Thats why I had to move asap. My safety comes first.
Poor Matt hired some convicted Felons. Thats against the law in all states minus one or two if you will. What going to hurt the most to them is that they didnt know that I am a confidentual informant for a specialzed unit of the LAPD organized crime bureau. Thats why I kept telling these stupid idots to take and book me at any LAPD station and they wouldnt.
Scott, the law clearly states that you can't TORTURE fugitives in your custody. Thats in humane.
Well got to run, but I will posting up some new photos that I took yesterday in Miami. Had to get a way and have some fun.
Take care,
Anthony
P.S. You ever wonder why I never get in trouble for anything? Well it helps to be a confidental informant. If you ever get into trouble, just give a little info. Fuck the other guy. Take care of yourself first.

"If you ever get into trouble, just give a little info. Fuck the other guy. Take care of yourself first."
Apparently a lot of guys feel that way.
Felons??? Who'd be that stupid, especially in California? Who was is it? Anyone I know? Did they actually TORTURE you or is that another "fib" you're telling these days???? (You can't blame me for asking.) Besides, I thought Matt had already paid off your bond.
Regardless, no one deserves to be treated less than respectfully dude.
BTW, I hire people to cut my grass. Enjoy Miami- it's a beautiful place.

New Information Anthony Oliver Alias Information 5/30/08
This came in from a reader yesterday... though I would point out that Anthony Oliver is not in San Diego but more correctly in Fullerton, CA.
I was just contacted by phone and I had a doubt. He said his name was Dave Collins and he was a sergeant in the Air Force. He offered to sell me all of his gear because he was going to be deployed in Iraq. Sent me pictures of all his wonderful equipment that he was willing to sell for $200 and for some reason I just didn't think it would be possible that someone in the military would be able to pull off a second job as a recovery agent. I googled the name of one of the pictures he sent me and there we go, a list of websites with the same pics warning me not to go along with his scam. If anyone is interested, the number he contacted me with was from San Diego. 619-405-2731. His email is aptorcrewchief77@yahoo.com again, he said his name was Dave Collins.

Anthony Oliver and the Dead Bail Enforcement Agent
Please Read and Repost elsewhere on the Internet if you are willing. It is VITAL that we all educate ourselves about those preying on our sympathies and protect one another...
Anthony Oliver ( http://tonyoliver.blogspot.com/ ) is at it again... I read a bulletin he posted on MySpace about one of his "fellow Marines" and bounty hunting "partners," Darrin Bishop, dying 3 weeks after being run down during a botched fugitive apprehension. That bulletin is included below.
To the uninformed this story would certainly appear to be tragic but to the many of us that know Anthony Oliver it is just another thread in the long story of a con artist. To me the bulletin was the funniest thing I have read in the last few weeks (except the story about Cesar Laurean) simply because the longer Oliver is at it the bigger stories he tells (just look at the blog post about him claiming that he was hanging out with Cesar Laurean)! I am not going to go into the implausibility of the timeline Anthony has laid out but the story is ludicrous at best and was VERY EASY to fact check. Needless to say it was all bullshit.
First, you need to know who Anthony Oliver is... he is probably the most despised individual in the bail enforcement profession. He makes his living not by fugitive apprehension, but by pulling off a few very well rehearsed scams on bail agents, military families and others he finds through a variety of sources including MySpace and Craigslist.
Don’t believe me? Read the MOUNTAIN of EVIDENCE and dozens of stories from bail agents and others from whom he has stolen money on this blog or go to FugitiveRecovery.com and search the forums for the many many posts on Oliver.
When things get too hot for Oliver he simply packs his ONE BAG and moves to another town- California, Oregon, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada and Minnesota are just a few states in which he has lived (and run from) over the last two years.
Secondly and most importantly, Anthony Oliver has NEVER been in the Marine Corps. Ever. By all accounts he was thrown out of the ROTC in high school. Several of the photos and comments from other MySpace users on his MySpace page are fake profiles which Anthony has set up and has contrived conversations with himself. My favorite one? From user USMC "One day my son will thank you for saving his life in Iraq... you are such a hero to us all." He was actually dumb enough to send me a threatening email through that particular fake profile. I still have it if anyone would like me to share.
On his MySpace page he indicates that he was awarded numerous medals including the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal but he does not have ONE SINGLE PHOTO of him in Iraq nor does he have one photo of himself in uniform though he does have lots and lots of photos posted.
Why is that exactly? Because he is a fraud who cannot back up his lies.
I'll tell you what Anthony, I know you are an avid reader of your blog, if you can provide me with ONE recent and/or authentic picture of yourself in a marine corps uniform clearly wearing the medals you say you were awarded I will take this entire blog down.
Not only is his false portrayal as a real Marine absolutely sickening, the thought that that he actually preyed on military families, who can ill afford to fall victim to a con man, should enrage everyone of us and want to close ranks around our military friends and family.
http://tonyoliver.blogspot.com/2007/05/anthony-oliver-attempting-to-scam.html
Lastly, Oliver himself is wanted on an Failure to Appear in Isanti County, MN for Domestic Assault. This can be verified with his bail bondsman, Matt with Midwest Bonding in North Branch, MN. I have his number if anyone wants it.
Anthony Oliver is a stain upon this earth and it is a sad commentary upon our justice system that no one has taken up this cause outside of those whom he has victimized. I have made a career of 14 years out of catching fugitives and fighting against fraud. I do it despite the threatening phone calls and emails I receive from those whose operations I have disrupted- including Anthony Oliver. His scams have had a very real effect on his victims and I have heard from these people first hand. While most are affected financially, they are all pissed off, hurt and upset.

The bulletin posted on Thursday March 27, 2008 by Anthony Oliver via MySpace:
Last night fugitive KRISTY KAY COBB dob 1-26-1960 was arrested by Agent Anthony Oliver along with Las Vegas Metro Officers after a short foot pursuit. Approx three weeks ago, Investigator Oliver and his partner Darrin Bishop trakced the femail to Phoenix AZ where she was a prostitute on Van Buren Ave and 44th St.
As Oliver and Bishop attempted to apprenhend her, she got into a car and took off running down Agent Darrin Bishop. He suffer many broken bones including ribs, and collapsing lungs.
Tonight on 26 March 2008 Cpl Darrin Bishop lost his life and passed away at the age of 29. According to coroners reports the death of Bishop was caused by the fatal blows of the car that struck him. Suspect KRISTY COBB meanwhile is being extradited back to Mississippi to face the orginal charges that she was running from.
Investigator Oliver and Bishop both served together in Iraq with Charlie Co 1/1 and were in Infantry. Bishop saved olivers behind twice in Iraq. Cpl. Bishop leaves behind a wife and little girl age 2. It is unclear what the district attorney will do in this case. The DA's office was contact and they declined to comment. Can everyone please copy and repost this bulletin? Thank you.

Anthony Oliver and Cesar Laurean
The latest whopper Anthony has been telling was that he was harboring a fugitive from justice (and Marine) in Las Vegas who was wanted in the killing of a fellow Marine at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. You know, the guy that every law enforcement officer in the United States said fled to Mexico (where he was born).
He told that one to a few people, who consequently told me. Most of them then felt it necessary to also call the FBI in the event that Anthony, for once, was telling the truth.
Well Mexican police just caught the fugitive Marine, Cesar Laurean, that Anthony was claiming to be hanging out with for the last month in Las Vegas; Laurean was captured in Mexico.
Hmmm.
Laurean indicated that he had fled to Mexico earlier this year (in January) when it appeared that he would be found guilty of murdering Maria Lauterbach, the female Marine, in North Carolina.
Now how exactly could Laurean be in Mexico all of this time if he was hangin' with Oliver in Las Vegas?
It's not like either of them had enough money to rendevous in the dark of night to feel eachother's embrace on a moment's notice; Cesar Laurean had 10 pesos in his pocket, about a dollar, and was living off of fruit he would steal in the fields for the last 3 months. Anthony Oliver's girlfriend had to buy him a bus ticket back to California after he was last picked up by the Las Vegas Metro Police after being thrown out of (yet another) place where he was living (what's that make now? 3 places in less than 3 months?) because he is not making enough as a day laboror and scam artist to support himself while he himself is a fugitive from justice.
At least he is not trying to care for his two kids any more.
What gets me is WHY Anthony would tell such a lie? He is obviously a moron to believe that a) anyone would believe him and b) that when Laurean was caught, Anthony would also be caught in another lie.

New Contact Information for Tony "Grasshopper" Oliver
As reported by another bail enforcement agent, who is seriously pissed off that he was scammed by Oliver, Anthony continues to use the the name John P. Anderson and the telephone number previously reported- 701 - 219 - 0960.
We do have another email address for the con artist... bailenforcementagent23091@yahoo.com
He continues to stalk MySpace users with an interest in fugitive recovery.
In order to add some credence to his bail enforcement gear scam he is sending the following pictures:

I thought it was funny that while Tony Oliver insisted that his name was John Anderson and that is, in effect, Anderson in the pictures we can clearly see Anthony Oliver's tattoos in the photos.

Anthony Oliver Goes to Jail on a Domestic Assault Charge
Update: Anthony Oliver's forfeiture warrant is no longer active. The bond has been paid off.
Apparently Tony Oliver has just gotten out of the Isanti County Jail in MN for domestic assault on his babies' momma, Crystal. He was locked up for SEVERAL days, despite having a $1,000 bail bond posted, because he had a No Contact Order levied against him as a result of the incident (which meant that he could not go back to Crystal's residence for the time being) and did not have an alternate address to give the jail for his release; this is also most likely why we hadn't heard anything from him for the last week of October.
He is out on bail and I wonder now if he won't run from the law there as well- this time however he will at least be out on bond and maybe one of the real bail recovery agents will be lucky enough to get to grab him. I have heard from sources that he mentioned trying to get back to Oregon.
I talked to his bondsman a couple of days ago at Midwest Bonding in Minnesota and he was shocked to read the blog about Tony. I am sure that he has all but resigned himself to losing the $1,000 bond he posted but did not sound too broken up about it.
As soon as I get his booking photo, I'll post it here for all to marvel over.

I talked to his bondsman a couple of days ago at Midwest Bonding in Minnesota and he was shocked to read the blog about Tony. I am sure that he has all but resigned himself to losing the $1,000 bond he posted but did not sound too broken up about it.
As soon as I get his booking photo, I'll post it here for all to marvel over.

Update: Anthony Oliver's forfeiture warrant is no longer active.

Wife, Mom, Bounty Hunter Scammed by Tony Oliver
Sandra Scott called this morning and said that she had in fact been scammed by Anthony Oliver who was using a variation on the Bail Enforcement Gear scam.
In short:
Apparently, Oliver called Sandra using the name John Anderson trying to get a hold of an associate of hers; he indicated that he was in the military and only a couple of days away from being deployed to Iraq. Consequently he was trying to contact her coworker so that he could send him an Air Taser and some additional gear that he was prohibited from possessing on base and that he was having a hard time getting rid of it.
The conversation turned to him just sending Sandra the equipment but that he did not have the money to ship such a heavy box. Anthony said that the postage was going to cost approximately $120 and that he wasn't going to be paid before he was deployed so he was not sure how to get the shipment to her. Sandra offered to pay the freight charges.
She sent the money ($120) through Money Gram to a Walmart in Anoka, MN and of course has not received anything from Oliver.
Ms. Scott remarked that Anthony was extremely well rehearsed, seemed to know alot about the fugitive recovery business and had a lot of information about her coworker. That, coupled with the fact that Anthony never asked for money for the gear or the shipping, really sold her on his story.
She asked that I post the unfortunate circumstances regarding her encounter so that we continue to get the word out about this con artist and hoping that others will come forward as well.
Thank you Sandra, you are a credit to our industry.

Bail Enforcement Agents with a MySpace Page... Be Aware!
This in from a reader of the Anthony Oliver Blog:
"We all are pretty familiar with the scam that has been going around. The "sell you my Bail Enforcement gear, I am going to Iraq" line. I looked at some of the old posts and just wondering what the status is of this individual and if anything new has come up?
Anthony Oliver tried to contact me through Myspace 1.5 weeks ago and left a contact # asking me to call him. I gave him my number as well. I did not tie it in with the scam at that time. The very next day a someone claiming to be Rob Robbins left a message on my phone asking me to call him back. I did not call him back until this past monday and left him a message. He immediately called me back and threw out his pitch. i recognized it as the scam immediately and told him all purchasing decisions go through my business partner and would have Eric call him back.
Do you have pictures of him or need them?
Message sent to me on myspace:
"Hey Brother Just wanted to say that is a great profile that you have there. I just wanted to know where at in MD are you willing to pick up a skip. Please let me know asap, and please send me a contact name and number and i will also add you to the active agent roster that now has a little over 3,400 names and nubmbers for recovery agents throughtout the united states. Let me know. Be safe out there brother.

Anthony Oliver and Craigslist- Appleton, WI
Well, he is now scamming people in Appleton, Wisconsin area.
The same craigslist listing stating he has a free quad, dirt bike and pin ball machine. The phone number he called from was a Nextel cell # 920 378 2805. Said it was in storage in Appleton but he is stuck in MN. He said his father died and he was with his 2 kids at the greyhound station, his tickets were stolen or lost and needed mooney to get back here to Appleton. Fortunatley, I didnt send him money. But we did borrow a truck and trailor and waiting for hours where we were suppose to meet at the storage unit.
He never showed. That was last week.
Today, we got a call from a man saying his name was Andy in regards to Tony Oliver's stuff. The number called from was a land line in Palms Spring CA 760 449 2660. He said we could pick it up in MN or he would delivery if we paid for his gas. He gave my husband some sob story about getting a fine or something at the storage unit where Anthony left the stuff and couldnt afford to come back to Appleton without financial help.
We, told him we would have to decline and his reputation on Appleton craiglst was not credible. He said thanks and that was it. I thought it all sounded fishy and Google searched the phone number that came up on the caller ID and came across the Anthony Oliver Scam, Theft and Fraud Clearinghouse website.
Thank you very much for your website. Let's work together to keep each other safe.

Tony Oliver is Back to Scamming Bail Recovery Agents
I received the two following stories from readers yesterday:
"anthony oliver is in cambridge, mn. got nailed by his scam on bail agents today the phone # he is using 920-378-2805 aka john allen henderson 760-449-2660 aka tony. please email me with info i want this guys head on my wall."
"Well Anthony Oliver (AKA TONY OLIVER) is still at it. This time using the alias John Alan Anderson and the 2 numbers I have are (760) 449-2660 which is listed as an ATT land line (could be remote call forwarded) and (920) 378-2805 which comes back as NEXTEL in Appleton, WI. He is picking the money up at Cub Food in Cambridge, MN. Besides the $250 he got from me yesterday, he has scammed at least 2 other this week, a recovery agent ($330) in Rollins, MO and a recovery agent ($230) in CA. His scam now is that he is in the Marines 3rd Bat./25th Reg. and they were being deployed to Iraq and he needed to sell a TASER M18L, BODY ARMOR, 4 PAIR OF CUFFS, 2 LEG SHACKLES, TRANSPORT CHAIN, DUTY BELT, AND O.C. SPRAY. His myspace page is http://www.blogger.com/www.myspace.com/bailguy25. Email is bailagent24@yahoo.com. I hope this helps some of you out. "

Anthony Oliver- Scamming on Craigslist.
Received information today that Anthony Oliver is back at it. Apparently he is currently living in MN now with the momma of his kids. I personally would have thought that they would have broken up permanently since my sources tell me that she knows that he is a petty thief and that he just got some girl in Oregon pregnant.
In his latest attempts at theft he is advertising in Craigslist of Omaha, NE a free dirtbike (needed a new back tire), Free Quad (needed a new seat), and a Star Wars Pinball but claiming not to have enough money to get his things out of storage or that he could not get bus fare to get back from Milwaukee, WI (this is where YOUR money comes in).
The number he is currently using is (402) 306-6003 but if you have been reading this blog for any length of time rest assured that his current telephone number 402-306-6003 will not last long.

Thanks - and keep up the good work!

Anthony is Still Trying to Scam Bail Enforcement Agents
I just received an email forwarded to me by another fugitive recovery agent that Anthony is back to the National Bail Enforcement Agent Roster Scam.
I knew that when he told me that he was through scamming bounty hunters that it was too good to be true.

Anthony Oliver in Springfield, Oregon?
Well, Anthony Oliver is still at it using the Free Furniture and Dirt Bike For a Bus Ticket Scam. To make things interesting he is using MY NAME now (Scott Harrell) along with another known alias- Henry Hill. Depending upon who you talk to, I am now apparently either a Sargeant in the Marine Corps, having just been promoted and all, or a double amputee after being blown up in Iraq.
I suppose that imitation is the best form of flattery but I could seriously do without the military references. That is the worst sort of shame Oliver could possibly bring upon himself- to use the men and women in uniform as a cover story for his lies and fraud. If an angry service member called me up and asked for his address- I'd sure as hell give it to him.
I received a blog comment that he has used Eric Kindley (Kindly) in one of his recent scams as well.
He is currently prowling the Craig's List of Medford, Oregon and I understand that another person is chasing his Craigs List posts down and posting warnings. It's great to hear that others are getting involved.
He has a new (albeit temporary telephone number) (541) 288-7016 and Yahoo! email address- USAFRaptor1975@yahoo.com
Perhaps best of all, I believe that I have an actual address for him... priceless. If I told you all how I got the address you would simply fall over in your chair. No great super-sleuthing or detective work; just plain ol' fashioned dumb luck.
Karma is catching up, Tony.

Are You a Military Servicemember or Family Who has been Scammed?
Dwayne Shaffer, Chief Senior Agent at SEPPFR-SFRU (a bail recovery agency), made the following suggestion:
"I just wanted to let you know that I contacted the IG office of the DOD to let them know what Anthony Oliver was doing to our troops. They handle cases that deal with defrauding the military. If you can make a general post to let military personal to contact the IG office of the DOD via the Internet with what has happen to them they night be able to do something about him."
Great idea, Dwayne. Thanks!

The "Free Furniture for a Bus Ticket" Scam
My encounter with Anthony Oliver:
May 29th 2007:
He posted an ad on Spokane Craig’s List for free furniture going to a military family. The post address was from Fairchild Air Force Base, so of course i replied to the ad. The ad was deleted by him about 30 minutes after it was posted; I thought it was already taken.
May 30th 2007:
Received an email from "Ron Robbins" nascar19777@yahoo.com regarding the furniture:
"I didn't catch a name. And are you USAF or US ARMY? Please let me know or you can call me directly. Thank you.
Henry
520-382-7065
I replied and he sent me this email:
"Yes i still have it all. Call me when you can"
Henry
520 382 7065
I called his number a few times and finally got a hold of him on the afternoon of the 31st.
He told me about everything in this storage unit in downtown Spokane. Items in the storage unit were: a black leather couch and love seat, a 7' tall refrigerator with deep freezer, a big screen TV with an entertainment center and a Kawasaki dirt bike.
He explained that he had the storage unit for almost 2 years now; it was all of his brother’s furniture from his apartment that they moved there before his brother went to Iraq. He later explained that his brother (Joseph Hill) was KIA (killed in action) in Iraq, and he was giving away all the furniture because of the storage fees he has been paying for the last year or so. He said that he wanted to make sure this all went to a military family.
Then came the catch! He was stuck in a greyhound bus station in San Diego, Ca and needed $72 to get back to Spokane, WA.
He said that someone had stolen his bus tickets when he left some bags on the bench while he was changing his son in the bathroom. Then went to say that the bus station was going to take off several discounts on the tickets since he was military and also since the stolen tickets were used by someone who didn't present id.
He made the story very believable giving many details.
He told me that the leather couch and love seat were from a drawing at a bank that they were lucky enough to win. He told me how many times the dirt bike had been ridden and that the tires had gone flat in storage. He talked about that 7' refrigerator the most though, with the automatic ice maker and water and big deep freezer since his brother would go to Costco a lot and stock up on meat. And it needed a new water hose in the back since it had gotten stripped when they were moving it out of the apartment, but it would be an easy replacement for around $20.
He also said that he was in San Diego visiting his father since his father had just gotten out of the hospital from a heart surgery and he wanted his kids to see him. You could hear all the sounds of a bus station in the background on the phone, you could hear his kids. He had the correct address for the bus depot in San Diego, he also said there was an Albertsons up the street that accepted money orders and the address he gave there was also correct, I even called them to confirm their location from the bus depot. He said it was about 4 miles up the road. All the added details made it sound very believable, also the fact that i didn't believe anyone would go through all this trouble to scam someone for $72!!!
I called him back after looking up all this information and he gave me details about the storage unit, it was Mini self storage unit number 24 'alpha' (this also made him sound more military to me since he used the term 'alpha' instead of just saying 24 'a'). He said the security code to the gate was 0311 and the business was owned by Jim and Maggie Jason. He asked me to wire him the money and also give him a ride from the bus station to his house and he could get his truck and we could have the storage unit cleared out in about 2 hours. There are so many details and little things that he said throughout this conversation i cant even remember them all! I was on the phone with this guy for at least 2 hours that night. I felt really bad for this guy and his family stranded in a bus station for 2 nights and decided to send him the money, which by the way i couldn't really afford to do, he just seemed so convincing and it sounded like a situation that would have happened to me.
I wired him the money through a local Wal-Mart Money Gram the next morning.
Another note on that, i worked a mid shift and stayed up all that morning waiting for Wal-Mart to open up since it wasn't 24hours, fought morning traffic and road construction and then spent another hour in line waiting to get up to the customer service desk. I then called him back about 45minutes later and he said that he was boarding the bus for Spokane and would call me back later on that day since his phone needed to charge. I haven't heard from him since, the bus was supposed to arrive last night at 1145pm. I also waited up last night for him to call so i could go pick him and his kids up from the bus station. There are allot more details about this whole story that i will probably remember later, I'm just very mad right now and ranting.
Additional notes:
He always used the alias Henry Hill in this situation, his brother Joseph Hill was killed in Iraq. He mentioned at least 3 or 4 kids, and no mention of his wife. His phone number is from Nextel in Arizona, which he hasn't answered since 45minutes after wiring the money. He comes across as being very nice and polite over the phone not to mention very convincing.
I have no idea how many people he was doing this to, but it really doesn't seem worth the time with all the details he gave and the hours that he spent on the phone talking to me and my wife. All of this for $72, but the money isn't what I'm so upset about.
He said his brother was killed in Iraq last year. I had just gotten back from Iraq a few months ago, which really struck a nerve. He was also talking about trying to rummage for change to feed his kids off the dollar menu.
I don't know what else to say here really, except that if this guy is reading this....One day all the things that you have done to people with these scams, will come back to haunt you! Karma is a bitch!
++++++++++++++++++
Editor's note... I can confirm that Henry Hill is an alias used by Anthony Oliver. The cell phone number he used in this fraud belonged to Oliver as reported via other contact he has had with some of my sources.

He told me that the leather couch and love seat were from a drawing at a bank that they were lucky enough to win. He told me how many times the dirt bike had been ridden and that the tires had gone flat in storage. He talked about that 7' refrigerator the most though, with the automatic ice maker and water and big deep freezer since his brother would go to Costco a lot and stock up on meat. And it needed a new water hose in the back since it had gotten stripped when they were moving it out of the apartment, but it would be an easy replacement for around $20.
He also said that he was in San Diego visiting his father since his father had just gotten out of the hospital from a heart surgery and he wanted his kids to see him. You could hear all the sounds of a bus station in the background on the phone, you could hear his kids. He had the correct address for the bus depot in San Diego, he also said there was an Albertsons up the street that accepted money orders and the address he gave there was also correct, I even called them to confirm their location from the bus depot. He said it was about 4 miles up the road. All the added details made it sound very believable, also the fact that i didn't believe anyone would go through all this trouble to scam someone for $72!!!
I called him back after looking up all this information and he gave me details about the storage unit, it was Mini self storage unit number 24 'alpha' (this also made him sound more military to me since he used the term 'alpha' instead of just saying 24 'a'). He said the security code to the gate was 0311 and the business was owned by Jim and Maggie Jason. He asked me to wire him the money and also give him a ride from the bus station to his house and he could get his truck and we could have the storage unit cleared out in about 2 hours. There are so many details and little things that he said throughout this conversation i cant even remember them all! I was on the phone with this guy for at least 2 hours that night. I felt really bad for this guy and his family stranded in a bus station for 2 nights and decided to send him the money, which by the way i couldn't really afford to do, he just seemed so convincing and it sounded like a situation that would have happened to me.
I wired him the money through a local Wal-Mart Money Gram the next morning.
Another note on that, i worked a mid shift and stayed up all that morning waiting for Wal-Mart to open up since it wasn't 24hours, fought morning traffic and road construction and then spent another hour in line waiting to get up to the customer service desk. I then called him back about 45minutes later and he said that he was boarding the bus for Spokane and would call me back later on that day since his phone needed to charge. I haven't heard from him since, the bus was supposed to arrive last night at 1145pm. I also waited up last night for him to call so i could go pick him and his kids up from the bus station. There are allot more details about this whole story that i will probably remember later, I'm just very mad right now and ranting.
Additional notes:
He always used the alias Henry Hill in this situation, his brother Joseph Hill was killed in Iraq. He mentioned at least 3 or 4 kids, and no mention of his wife. His phone number is from Nextel in Arizona, which he hasn't answered since 45minutes after wiring the money. He comes across as being very nice and polite over the phone not to mention very convincing.
I have no idea how many people he was doing this to, but it really doesn't seem worth the time with all the details he gave and the hours that he spent on the phone talking to me and my wife. All of this for $72, but the money isn't what I'm so upset about.
He said his brother was killed in Iraq last year. I had just gotten back from Iraq a few months ago, which really struck a nerve. He was also talking about trying to rummage for change to feed his kids off the dollar menu.
I don't know what else to say here really, except that if this guy is reading this....One day all the things that you have done to people with these scams, will come back to haunt you! Karma is a bitch!
++++++++++++++++++
Editor's note... I can confirm that Henry Hill is an alias used by Anthony Oliver. The cell phone number he used in this fraud belonged to Oliver as reported via other contact he has had with some of my sources.

Anthony Oliver's Traffic Citations in Pennsylvania
A really big thanks to Dwayne Shaffer, Chief Senior Agent, of SEPPFR-SFRU for finding and providing information concerning 3 traffic citations Anthony Oliver received from the Wesleyville Boro Police Department while in Erie, Pennsylvania.
The summons were issued on 10/13/2006 for Reckless Driving, Registration Required and for Driving Under Suspension.
Notice that his address information includes Tehachapi, California and Tucson, Arizona.
My guess is that he did not make it to court for these and a bench warrant was subsequently issued for his arrest since a second set of summons were issued but undeliverable. I would love to have a copy of the actual citations to develop more information- make, model and tag number of the vehicle, full reported addresses, additional occupants, etc. etc.
You can click on the pictures above for a larger version.

Another Picture of Anthony Oliver
Thanks to Michael Smith of of Southern Arizona Bail Enforcement for providing a link to the above photo. The MySpace page where this image is posted indicates that there might be a cash reward for information leading to the arrest of Oliver: http://www.myspace.com/anthonyolivercriminal I do not have any affiliation with that site, so I cannot confirm the veracity of the possibility of a reward.

Anthony Oliver in Eugene, OR?
A reader has reported that he wired money via MoneyGram to Tony Oliver at a Walmart in Eugene, Oregon. This person reported that he called the Customer Service Desk at the store and asked if she had a person waiting in her area generally fitting Anthony's description along with a little girl- the service lady indicated that she had someone in her area, military appearance with a daughter waiting for money.
This was good enough for the caller and he subsequently sent $250 based on that information.
This apparently transpired a week to a week and a half ago.

What you should do if you are a victim of Anthony Oliver
In talking with a person this morning who sent Anthony Oliver money I started thinking about what steps a person should take if they had been victimized by Oliver.
Personally, I'd file a report with the local police department, but I also understand that it is inconvenient and maybe even a bit confusing.
MoneyGram puts out the following information if one suspects that they have been a victim of fraud comitted over the Internet:
Report fraud. To report fraud to the Internet Fraud Complaint Center, visit www.ic3.gov/. This is a partnership between The FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center. For a list of different types of fraud schemes or to report a fraud, you can also visit www.consumer.gov/sentinel.
Coincidentally, Craig's List also directs its consumers to also file a complaint with the IFCC at www.ic3.gov
I have filed complaints online with this service in the past and it really is quick and EASY; you don't even have to talk to anyone. If you have been conned by Anthony Oliver PLEASE, PLEASE file a brief report with the IFCC.

Updated Information on Cpl Anthony Oliver
He is now going by a new alias! Chris Mullen @ (520) 382-7813 or 520-382-7813
He is still using Craig's List to perpetrate frauds on Military servicemembers. I have confirmed postings for free furniture in San Diego, Tuscon, AZ and Jacksonville, NC. He has targeted US Air Force (USAF) and Marine Corps families.
More to come soon.

Anthony Oliver Attempting to Scam Marines and Their Families
The following is a very important update on Oliver. Apparently, he is identifying himself as a homosexual Corporal in the Marine Corps attempting to scam other Marines and USMC families using the following scheme being posted on Craig's List:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Scott,
I am guessing this is the same Scott Harrell that has the blog on Anthony Oliver?!?!?!? If it is I had a funny thing happen to me today involving your buddy Anthony.
Below are the emails that were sent.
Basically, your boy has a new scam and it's on Craig's List. He advertised Free Furniture to USMC in Oceanside, CA. I am a Craigs List junkie and I am always on the lookout for things we may need and/or neighbors and friends need. Hey, we're in the military, we're poor, we need free stuff.
Anyway, the message I sent him is below. Please leave my phone number and last name out of any publication that you may use this for. I am all about helping you out though.
He called me, so he says, I got no message, but then he emailed me the message below. I called him back and left him a message. He called me back about 2 minutes later with the following story....
First he asked me exactly who I was again. I told him I was the Corpsman's wife that needed stuff for my family and my neighbors. He said "Oh yeah, that's why we picked you because it was going to help a number of families. I had to make sure I knew which one you were because I talked to like 40 different Marines this morning." Then he goes on to tell me that he left the Corps 6 months ago and he and his Partner, Ron Robbins (check the email name below) were moving in together and to keep it on the down low that they were gay because Ron was still in.
I was immediately tipped off because he then said that he had been stranded at the bus station all day...yet he emailed me at 11:24 this morning. Hmmmmmm. Why was he stranded at the bus station???? I know you are on the edge of your seat...he told me that he had gone up to Portland to visit his dad with his son. He said that his dad had told him that if he brought his son up for a visit, he (dad) would pay for their way back. Well he and dad got in a fight because dad is a raging alcoholic and that's the way he is. He said that his dad dropped him and his son off at the Greyhound bus station in Portland, Oregon and just stranded them there. He said it was only $76 for a bus ticket back to Cali. Hmmmm. He mentioned the price of the bus ticket about 5 times during the conversation.
Anyway, he said that he was waiting on a call from his aunt, whom he barely knows, that was going to wire him money to the, you guessed it, Wal Mart, that was directly across the street from the bus station.
He also told me that some one called the cops on he and his son because they thought they were homeless and sleeping on a park bench. At this point I ask him how old his son is. He tells me "less than 2." WHAT?!?!?!? Any part knows that mom or dad knows their kids age. What is God's name is less than 2? ONE perhaps. I found that weird too.
So after all that nonsense he told me that he had all this stuff in storage. Me, being the untrusting person I am, asked him again what he had advertised. He started naming off all kinds of stuff like 2 leather couches, a refrigerator, 2 brand new recliners, a microwave, a 32" "HIGH DEFINITION television" and some other stuff. He never mentioned the bed, the entertainment center, or the dining table. He totally emphasized "High Definition" by the way and who the hell does that?? It's supposed to be free, no need to advertise how great it is.
Now I am truly interested in this little game he's playing, so I ask him, "Where is your significant other?" He stammered and asked me to repeat the question, I do and he tells me in Colorado. Are there any USMC bases in Colorado??? I have never heard of any...have you?? He said that 'RON' had just paid the truck payment and they didn't have any money. 'Ron' tried to max out the credit card but Money Gram doesn't take credit cards. I am poor and $76 would not even max out my credit card...whatever.
So, I guess he was annoyed with all of my questions and said that he would find out what was going on and call me back in 20 minutes. He never did and I didn't expect him to.
I kept telling my hubby all night that I had a bad feeling about it. So, being the nosy one that i am I googled Anthony Oliver, USMC and found you because I can guaratee you that he scammed some Marines today. Come on...the military. Hello!! We're poor, we don't have any extra money. Oh, and how dare you prey on America's heroes. If you need any other help let me know. I am here for you and so is my hubby. I showed him your blog and he was like.."Let's bust this asshole!!"
So, let me know that you got this and if it helps. I am going to post info on my myspace page and on Craigs List.
I am so glad that you were out there in cyberspace to let me know that my 'funny feeling' was right on the money.
Thanks, [redacted]
One more thing...
I just found the paper I was scribbling on as I was talking to him. He told me that his stuff was in self storage down here and he spoke to the mgr., Jim Jason, about letting some one just come and get the stuff out of his storage or something. Then he said that if it wasn't out by the 17th of May they would have to pay another $98. Maybe not important, but I thought I would add it.
I don't know if you even care about that but just in case you want to use my email as an example or something, I wanted to let you know. Just leave my name off completely and it'll be cool.
Okay, not only is there a crazy scammer out there, but you now have a crazy email girl writing you. Hee hee. You seem like you have a sense of humor from your blog, so let's hope so.
Thanks again, [redacted]

Cpl. Anthony Oliver,
How do you feel about helping out a Navy Corpsman and his family on Camp Pendleton??? We also have many neighbors (Marines) that we can split the stuff with. If you want, we have a trailer and can pick it all up for you.
We personally are interested in the bed and TV, my neighbor across the street needs the TV wall unit, my neighbor behind me needs new couches and a young Marine we were helping out with a place to stay earlier this month needs a table, they just got a place in Serra Mesa and his wife is very pregnant.
So, you can be helping a lot of Marines and one Corpsman's family (2 small girls) that served with 3/5 in Iraq.
What do you say???? Give me a call before midnight or after 8am, we have a trailer and can pick it all up. We would al really appreciate it.

Joe Stiles Contributes to the Cause!
Joe Stiles of Black Aces Fugitive Recovery (Disbanded? Say it isn't so!) and Bail Fast Bonding has offered an equally generous pledge of support to the cause!
Thank you, Joe.
I don't believe that there is an individual that truly cares for the entire bail bond industry more than Joe Stiles. This man has forgotten more about chasing defendants than most will ever learn in a lifetime.
You should hear his lecture on ethics in bail enforcement sometime.
Thank you, Joe.

New Picture of Anthony Oliver
Nice picture of Anthony and an unidentified little girl; her face has been obscured to protect the innocent.
How do you think his children would feel about their father's actions?
Anthony Oliver Brags of $34,000!
I talked to Hadley Dorfman yesterday who indicated that he had spoken to Anthony Oliver over the past weekend; something about Oliver was on his way up to New Hampshire chasing a big bond.
When Dorfman asked Oliver about his scams on the bail enforcement and fugitive recovery community, Dorfman said that Oliver laughed and said that he had gotten $34,000 from so far and that he had used it to make a down payment on a home... Oliver was supposed to call Hadley back but never did.
I'm sure that the dollar figure is no where close to that- he is certainly not that good and even if he managed to average $300 per con he would have had to swindle at least 110 recovery agents. That is terribly unlikely.
On a side note- I noticed that I got a call from Oliver's current telelphone number last night, 910-376-7374, but he apparently decided not to leave a message. Since he is telling people that he is living in Pensacola, FL, I was hoping that he was calling to set up a lunch date.
Keep me posted and I'll do the same for you.

My First Encounter with Anthony Oliver
This is an interesting one in that he tried to scam me into giving him a place in my online directory (unfortunately the same one he is now uising to find victims).
Note- he never purchased my book, I maintain all of my sales records but could not even tell me under which name, credit card number or email address he used to make the purchase of the online book. I can only surmise that if he indeed had a copy that he had to have stolen it.

So pretty much i wanted to know how i can go about putting mine up there. So you told me to purchase your book, but already did that a long time ago. However i would like to see my name and number get put up there for advertisement purposes only. Nothing more and nothing less. Please let me know if you can help me.
Thank you very much.

He then called me a week later saying that he was putting together his own roster and wanted my contact information. He said that he wouldn't charge me for the directory but asked me to pay him $30 for printing and shipping.
It didn't work.

He then called me a week later saying that he was putting together his own roster and wanted my contact information. He said that he wouldn't charge me for the directory but asked me to pay him $30 for printing and shipping.
It didn't work.

A Brazen Con: Scam him Once... Try to Scam him Twice.
After scamming an agent once using the National Bail Agent Roster Scam, Anthony actually tried to defraud the same agent again after being called out on the first con! Thankfully, he did not fall for the ol' My Car Broke Down Scam:

Scott,
I Received a phone call a couple of months ago from Anthony Oliver asking if I wanted to buy an agent roster that has agents listed all over the country, well I did it cost about $28.00 I sent him his money order on 2/17/06 and never received the roster. I sent him a couple of emails and only got one back (the one that I have forwarded in this email) Well I called my bank and the money order was cleared on 3/8/06 and I just received the forwarded email yesterday 3/31/06. This guy claims to work for Bob Burton but who knows. I have also got a phone call from his brother a few minutes ago saying that the roster was being sent to me ( I received the call after I left him one letting him know that I was going to send out a few emails and post to let every one know what kind of business he runs) So if anybody deals with this guy just watch your back.
Kindest Regards

Mr. [redacted],
This is Crystal, Anthonys girl friend. He is currently in Tucson Arizona. I spoke with him about you, and he said the bank could not accept your money order that was from your bank. So he said for me to tell you that he sent that back, because he could not find anyone to cash or deposit it. If you have any questions whats so ever, he said to feel free to contact him directly. Also he spoke with a bonds woman from California, and has a case out your way for 200,000 and i believe she offered anthony 85,000 dollars to pick him up. But anthony is currently in Arizona, so anthony told her that he would find someone for her.
Thanks [redacted].
For Anthony

This agent never received a roster and the next time he tried to call, Anthony's telephone number had been disconnected.

Additional Information on Anthony Oliver
From having interviewed several recovery agents and reading various bail recovery newsgroups I can add the following anecdotes about other people's interaction with Anthony Oliver:
1) Tony Oliver has made past claims that he was or is in the Marines and that he is being deployed overseas... A check with the U.S. Department of the Navy found no such person as being currently enlisted with them. He can be seen in his photos wearing a US Marine Corps shirt. Anthony called and wants to assure everyone that he was in fact in the Marine Corps, albeit for a short period of time (less than two years).
2) Anthony Oliver has been known to operate in Southern California, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and most recently in North Carolina. He is also using an AOL e-mail address with the word "Nascar" in it.
3) Mr. Oliver claims to have a mentally ill brother that is perpetuating all of these schemes and that he is innocent of any wrong doing. This however is simply a lie; in all of his scemes, he eventually has to give his real name to the victim so that they can wire him money. He is required to show his driver's license or other ID in order to pick up the money.
4) Mr. Oliver has called his victims and harassed them by taking on the personna of a gay male, being extremely vile with them. He uses the name of "skippy" in this routine.
5) He is smart enough not to use the U.S. Postal service for obvious reasons. He instead prefers to have his victims wire the money through wire services..especially Wal-marts (Money Gram). However, is not smart enough not to have committed interstate thefts.
6) A respected Bail Fugitive Recovery Person in California stated that he had in fact apprehended Anthony Oliver in the past when he jumped bail.
7) How appropriate! He is wanted for failure to appear on theft charges in Tucson, Arizona.
Lastly, if you are 1 of possibly dozens of his vcitims, please do not be embarrassed to come forward. This is not about you, it's about gathering evidence and putting an end to this professional thief/con man.
