Okay, so I just want to share a story with you that happened to me recently. As some of you may know, I'm currently looking for investors for my talk show. Well, I have an investor video up on YouTube, so I'm guessing that's how this person found me.
Someone by the name of Andries Boekelman emailed me saying he was interested in investing in my company. He said that he saw my show and that he was a huge fan.
I replied to him by saying that I would answer any questions that he might have. He emailed me back asking how much I had in saving and how much I needed for the investment.
I told him I needed $500,000 for 20% of my company for the investment. I never told him how much I had in savings, because it is none of his business, assuming he was a legitimate investor.
He had emailed me a will saying he inherited 5.1 million dollars from Edwin Gabriel and a copy of his passport. Well, he was from the Netherlands, and I have no idea if the passport was even valid. He said he would send me the $500,000, but I would need to pay a fee for "the security of the money." He would have to ask his accountant what the fee would be.
I replied that I hoped it wasn't a scam, because no legitimate investor would be asking me for money. I told him how I found scams online about Edwin Gabriel (at least two pages on Google saying Edwin Gabriel died leaving 5.1 million dollars---the exact same amount he said he inherited).
He emailed back saying his accountant fee would be $750, it wasn't a scam and how he sent the documents and his passport. He even said that I had his IP address. What would that do for me, if I sent him the $750, and he didn't send me the $500,000. My lawyer couldn't sue him being in another country. What good would an IP address do? Absolutely nothing with him being in The Netherlands.
Anyways, I did contact my lawyer, after asking two friends. My lawyer said that each party is responsible for their own fees. Also, I had told Andries if it wasn't a scam then he could just deduct the $750 from the $500,000. He refused to do that....so you know it's a scam. I emailed him saying what my lawyer said and that legitimate investors don't ask the business for money in order for them to invest.
I just want to help those of you who might get a similar email or think someone may be trying to scam you. First, trust your gut instincts. When I got the initial email, I thought, "Wow!" My gut said, this is too good to be true, someone is just emailing me wanting to invest.?. Of course, a little part of me really wanted it to be true. This can be the case with any of us. When we really want something bad enough, pertaining to anything, we need to try and take our emotions out of it. We need to make sure we are thinking 100% with our heads, otherwise, we may get taken advantage of.
Secondly, look for the red flags. Red flags mean there is something not quite right. Make sure you pay attention to them and not just brush them aside because you don't want them to be true.
Next, ask around. Tell your friends and ask their advice. They won't have the emotional component involved and will be able to look at it from an outsiders point of view.
Next, do your own research. I googled the information and immediately found what I was looking for. One the will Andries sent me, there was the name of a bank. I emailed the bank and asked them if they dispersed the money to Andries Boekelman. They emailed me back telling me not to reply to the email, and that it was a scam. They sent it to their investigation department, and to let them know if something else arises.
Finally, ask your lawyer or an expert. They should know what is best to do...and it may be worth spending the money to have them look at any documents.
Let me know if you have come into any of these situations, I would love to hear from you.....Beware, because they might appear in the least likely places. Who would have thought someone would take advantage of someone who is trying to fulfill her dreams and help people. I even told him this...that it is a dream to expand and grow my company in order to help more people. These people are ruthless and know what to say to take advantage of their targets. Don't let yourself get taken advantage of and be their next target! Make sure you protect yourself, research, and listen to your instincts!

First I DO NOT think you should BE ALLOWED TO speak about the basis of honesty and scams to which you are a (the)master scam artist and no nothing of honesty... On that, please take offense to this because this is purposely offensive, you, Jessica Rector are a scam artist. You live in a filthy roach infested apartment not fit for the raising and rearing of children nor the consumption of clean food nor clean cooking environment to even third world standards, you obsessively watch other television talk shows to view their material to inspire you for your own. Thank you so much for issuing a warrant for my arrest while I am in a combat zone... Thank you so much for listening to me when I told you that having a child out of wedlock is a very bad idea -not to mention that not only can you not take care of yourself but, i highly doubt you should be allowed to have the right to care for another human. It takes one to care for one and you, cunt are not qualified...
Now we will see what happens next...
1. I will enter back into the US and get arrested thanks to you...
2. I am now not able to work within my industry or job bracket that has taken me 25 years to build because you don’t have the JessICARE to pay attention to details or issues.
3. My family is freeking out because you have goons going to my brother’s house and my mother’ s house looking for me and I consider that a direct threat to which I am cautioning you to cease immediately...
You are an idiot and you have picked a fight with someone who fights for a living. At this point, I have had my clearance pulled, I have been terminated from Bell Textron because I have no clearance and I will not be able to get a clearance for two years thanks to you. You have also destroyed a relationship with someone who was actually worthy and I will now go back to working for 14 dollars an hour instead of 140k. You are a total and complete fucking idiot... Oh and FYI, everyone who reads this before she deletes this, yes, she did... Yes she is... And she has gone as far as to accuse me of attempting to hit her to which I must say is blatantly stupid. I am 6’5”, 240, three theater /direct action/ combat veteran with six tours, an avid MMA fighter and martial artist. I don’t make attempts or threats...
That’s your JessICARE in a nutshell... She actually named her son Blaise \b-lai-se\ as a boy's name (also used as girl's name Blaise), is pronounced blayz (like a stripper or prostitute). It is of French and Latin origin, and the meaning of Blaise is "lisp, stutter". From LatinBlasius, derived from "blaesus". The homonym Blaze means "fire". It could be confused with the French word: bla•sé (blä-z)adj.
1. Uninterested because of frequent exposure or indulgence.
2. Unconcerned; nonchalant: had a blasé attitude about housecleaning.
[French, from past participle of blaser, to cloy, from French dialectal, to be chronically hung over, probably from Middle Dutch blsen, to blow up, swell; see bhl- in Indo-European roots.]
(anyone paying attention or for those who know her, know she is removing any masculinity in this child in hopes of having a fag hag relationship with a PC raised, ideological progressive new best friend)
Any of you that are NOT spoon fed, addicted to pain pills, open to subversion from the ideological, insane, useless uninformed masses of the god television, MSM or currently subscribing to our nations situation, RUN as fast and as FAR as you can FROM this piece of shit. She is as original as oxygen, steals her material from the false and very ignorant and overly dramatic talk show industry. She could care less about you unless it reigns in drama, deceit or disaster to make a dime off of your misery or misfortune. She is a vulture in search of a meal and will use a Jerry Springer broadcast format to exploit you.
You wanted honesty JessICARE, I gave it to you. It is in my nature to do so and for that, you exploited private conversations, violated and abused my trust, extracted tidbits of fact and fabricated new and exciting tales to entertain your family or anyone that will lend you an ear. You ruined any chance of having me in your life to help with the child because of your disgust manners and natural ability to sink to the lowest levels of deceit, manipulation and false promises.
You have made my life public which I consider a direct and hostile threat to my way of life and to my means of providing for myself.
You were offered marriage to a good man. You quickly ruined any chance of a normal relationship with me because of your lifestyle and your propensity to lie, manipulate and deceive.
You brought your misery and misfortune to my door. Now I am returning the favor.
Fun Facts About JessICARE:
-She is a food server at a restaurant who relies on your real experiences to make her own.
-Her apartment is filthy and full of roaches because she has zero discipline and should not be allowed to care for another human being especially children.
-She had a child out of wedlock on purpose and EXPECTS financial support from the person she has financially destroyed to the point of arrest, humiliation and complete destruction of a lifetime career of defending this nation by direct action against hostile nations.
How will JessiCARE respond????
“Totally deny it”, “WHAT? When did I do that”, completely forget or… if she is fast, erase all of it…
Most likely, she will go to her default defense and simply claim she never heard of this... What a scam
