Colin J Randle

Colin stayed at the Inn on three occasions, and we were really happy to see him on each of his stays. He is a likeable, intelligent 52 year old man, who served two tours of duty in Vietnam, and was supposedly a helicopter pilot with the Drug Enforcement Administration of America (DEA). He was also a very generous man, well liked in the bar, and a good 'drinking buddy'. He always paid for his accommodation, drinks and food in cash, until his last stay with us over Christmas, when he booked all his food, drink and accommodation amounting to £977.00, which he paid with a personal cheque drawn on FCNB Bank of Frederick, Maryland. 21703. 

The reason for this Webpage, is that the cheque was returned 'Account Closed'. I had my doubts, and actively searched the Internet for any reference to 'Colin Randle, only finding one reference to 'our' Colin Randle, a minor misdemeanour, of illegally operating a motorized off-road vehicle on trails and utility line right-of-ways in Patuxent River State Park in Montgomery and Howard counties. The vehicle was a Yamaha ATV motorcycle, belonging to a neighbour.

Unfortunately there is another Colin Randle who plays in an English Brass Band, but you can discount that one as I have seen a picture of him and it is the wrong person. You will have to forgive mentioning the word Colin Randle so often, but every time I mention the word Colin Randle, on this page, the internet search engines will give a better rating to anyone searching for information on our Colin Randle. 

This page will grow as more items come to light, and I thank the designer of my website for giving me the idea of righting wrongs by the use of the Internet.

A funny quirk with dealing in cheques made out in a foreign currency, is that you can get done twice. When I paid the cheque into my account, Barclays Bank negotiated the value of the cheque as £1107.95, and paid that into my account, but when the cheque came bouncing back they debited my account for £1134.62. The reason why?.. the currency exchange rate fluctuations! 

Letter from a liar and a cheat 

~~~ 
Dear Andrew & Joanne
Many thanks for another wonderful stay at Crumplehorn, the only thing missing was you. I will return on or about the 11th of Feb. 

My trip started rather badly with one of my bags being stolen at Heathrow, cameras picked them up, but nothing has ever surfaced, cash, service revolver, ID's, telephone, and a few presents along with half my clothes are missing.

Today, Tues 28th, I drive to London to pick up new ID's, etc. and then fly to the Caymans, stay 24 hours, and continue to Bogota Columbia where work starts. I wish I was spending it in Cornwall.

I hope you both have had a relaxing couple of weeks and you find everything to your liking on your return.

Happy New Year
Best Wishes

Colin

Well today 1st February 2000, the brown smelly stuff hits the fan, and other offences come to light, as we came to believe it would. 

The DEA have an excellent website, and it mentions they have an office in the UK. I phoned the US Embassy, and after going through their automated telephone 
system, rang another number that was the US Information Services Department, 
and they gave me an extension number from the main US Embassy number! When 
the phone was picked up the guy said 'DEA', which was very impressive, and exciting to a 'little' person like me. I told him who I was and asked if he might be interested in someone who was saying that he was a DEA agent, and by using this credential was gaining trust and then paying for services with a US cheque that bounces. He said he was indeed, and posing as a US enforcement officer is a very serious offence. I gave him the address details, but told him about the lady that gave him a roof over his head, and that she was just trying to help him out. I also gave him the car details, and told him that there were photographs of him on my website, he was very impressed! I told him that he had paid in cash before, and that he had told us that he had lost his money, ID and his service revolver at Heathrow, and the guy said 'no-one can bring weapons into this country whoever they are'. Apparently according to an investigator friend of mine, Steve Holland, said the only exception is the presidents personal bodyguards. I then told the guy that we had received a call saying that 'Captain' Randle had stepped on a land mine in Columbia, and he laughed. 
He said they would follow it up and they would definitely find him. I told him I was about to phone the police, and he said to tell them that I had spoken to the DEA, and he gave me his name, and asked the police to contact him. I was pleased that a US Agency was interested in hearing from a small hotelier in a little fishing village, but it turns out he has visited Cornwall, and loves it. He said he hopes to meet me, and at least we will have a real DEA officer on the premises!! 

I then phoned the police, and they said they were sending someone this afternoon, very shortly after I had a phone call from Honiton police, who said that they had arrested Colin in Honiton for making off without paying for petrol, he said 
he was sorry, and paid up, where he was cautioned and let go. The car was a hire car, and there was money outstanding on it. Colin told them he was returning to the US. The police took a statement from Phil my manager, as he took the cheque, and was in charge while I was away, in Canada and had reason to think the cheque would be honoured. The officer said that the case would be entered up tomorrow 
morning, and goes to an assessment team who decide who investigates the case. He said it will almost certainly go to CID, (criminal investigation department), they are the plain clothes ones. They will be in contact with the DEA, to see if they have any record of him. He also said there was another investigation in progress, and I said at Honiton, and he said no, another one, I said Pelican at Salisbury as Colin had passed a rubber cheque for £300.00 to a waitress who had lent him the money, and he said no, a hotel up on the moor near Exeter. He really does seem to be an accomplished crook. 

Devon and Cornwall Constabulary have allocated the case Log No 466 of 1/2/00, and Crime No. BE/00/32. They have said they are actively looking for his car, and also stated that the Metropolitan Police are also after him, (is this the DEA pushing buttons?), as I wasn't aware of any connection with London. They said there is also 'another interest', somewhere on Dartmoor. He seems to like small informal Inns. 

Some may well say how could you have been duped so completely?

One of my cleaners saw a white T-shirt laying on the bed with ‘DEA’ in large letters on the back of it, and I told her I had seen similar T-shirts on the television when the DEA are clearing up at a crime scene, (as opposed to combat gear). She thought it was a little odd leaving it out, as the room was always so immaculate, but it just reinforced our thoughts that he was a DEA officer. 

One other thing that was very plausible was that he could get goods seized by the DEA in ‘drug busts’, by auction, and the goods were offered to agents before the general public, and bid by a sealed tender. He said that he had a refrigerator, a four wheel drive truck, a 1966 Harley Davidson Hard Tail, and a modern H.D. Fat Boy, plus two watches including the Tag Huer watch he was wearing, and numerous items of jewellery. When his DEA ID, and service revolver were stolen at Heathrow, he also lost a gold Rolex watch, which was supposedly a present for me. I commented how nice the DEA crest was on the DEA website, and he said ‘no problem, I’ll get you one’, I had already asked him to get me a Harley! 

He does seem to have a small amount of DEA knowledge, and said that he had to pick up his new DEA ID from the American Embassy. He did say that he fought in Vietnam, and I have seen his US Marine Corps dog tags, with his name on them. It has since come to light that he was in the USMC, but only at boot camp, and was given a medical discharge! He was very interested in my own collection of Vietnam militaria, and was supposed to be getting me a Colt 1911A1 holster, and a USMC K Bar survival knife. One final thing to give you a laugh. He promised me a trip in an AH64 Apache helicopter, with a trip to the ranges, and a flight in an F16 within 6 months of him retiring in June. We seemed to have so many common interests. 

The only thing that I did find odd, was that if he was a helicopter pilot, he didn't seem to know the name of the two main controls for flying a helicopter, but I thought the terms may be different in the US. I know very little about them but there was a program on television a couple of years back about the training, and I remember a pilot failing the test because of his co-ordination with the left hand and right hand control. One of the things I love about the Internet is the knowledgeable people that are out there who unfailingly provide answers 'just because they can', and want to help. I posted the following question on rec.aviation.military. 

Helicopter Controls

I have just been fleeced by a con man for $1850.00, and dedicating a webpage
to him. He said he was a helicopter pilot, and on one of the occasions when
I was trying to catch him out, I mentioned the 'collective', and 'cyclic',
which I seemed to remember from a UK television programme was the name for the two controls that a helicopter plot uses. He didn't seem to recognize
the names said he flew the AH64 Apache. Do US pilots use the same term for
the left hand and right hand controls?

Thanks
~~~
Within minutes I received the following answer from 'Ron Miller'.
 

A US-published book, HOW TO FLY HELICOPTERS uses the terms you do.

I think you're dealing with an impostor. Even Apache pilots learn in trainers and would know those general control names.

What does HE call them?????

Ron Miller
 ~~~
And then I got the following from a US Air Force Helicopter pilot, and the definitive answer ;>)

Then he has never been around helicopters.
The collective is the left hand control that moves up and down and controls
collective pitch in the main blades. The cyclic is the stick between the knees
that controls forward/aft and side to side motion. The floor pedals (placed
similar to rudder pedals in fixed wing aircraft) controls the pitch of the tail rotor blades which turns the tail left or right.

Every helicopter I have worked on, to include: H-1, H-3, H-53, H-60 and a few others, use the term collective stick, cyclic stick and yaw pedals

It cost me $14.90, but didn't prove very much, except that he wasn't registered as a drug dealer with the DEA, and there were no outstanding warrants on him! Of course the main problem was that he didn't actually own anything in the US.

The Pelican Brief
another tale of deceit and deception 

We had a young couple here last week from the Pelican Inn, Warminster Road, Stapleford Road, Salisbury. I had telephoned the Pelican to ask if they had seen Colin lately, as I knew he had stayed there before. I also heard from the owner that two of his staff had been defrauded as well. I printed out the details that I had on the website, and posted it to them. After they had read it, they decided to come and stay here to give me the 'full story'. 

Colin Randle had stayed at the Pelican three times as well, in fact, when he came to stay at Crumplehorn Inn from Grand Cayman to stay for Christmas, and had all his precious things 'stolen' from Heathrow, he had been staying at the Pelican, and came from there to here. During this last stay at the Pelican, he 'borrowed' £630.00 from Tim & Emily Lowry, in a number of instalments to help him out while his finances were sorted out, and credit cards and cash forwarded to him from the US following the alleged theft from Heathrow. Emily had received a redundancy package, and this was part of her savings. Colin gave her a cheque made out for $930 USD and another blank cheque. When I did a conversion for $930, it would only have given them 590.00 GBP anyway! The blank cheque was just in case he wanted anything sent to him either in the United States, or Grand Cayman. He told them that when he had his luggage stolen at Heathrow, he also lost 100,000.00 GBP in cash to pay off the mortgage on their house! (that was the same time he lost my present, a solid gold Rolex :>) 

More rubber cheques. I wonder where the intervening two are from theirs to mine? 

A con that backfired :>)

While Colin was at the Pelican inn, he befriended a wealthy and self assured couple who both own their own businesses, and have now retired. During Colin's first visit, they told Colin that they wanted to buy a 4 wheel drive vehicle and particlarly wanted a Lincoln Navigator, so Colin homed in the 'I can buy you one from the DEA auctions' routine. On his second visit he said he had submitted a bid on one, I am guessing at prices here, but it was something like a £30,000 vehicle for £18,013, (Colin said he always made the bid end on a $13, rather than a round figure). On his final visit he said he had bought the vehicle and needed £6,000 up front to ship it over, and make a payment on it. The couple said that was reasonable, but asked for proof of his purchase before they paid anything. Colin said no problem, and a few days later, produced a photocopy of a registration document, which the couple took away with them. It was unknown to Colin that this couple had lived in the United States and when they got home they phoned the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), the U.S. equivalent of the U.K.'s Driver and Vehicle Licensing Centre, where they were told that all the details were correct, except that the last digits of the vehicle's identification number (VIN) had been altered and although it belonged to the right type of vehicle, it was one that didn't exist! They told Colin he was a CON MAN, and said they weren't paying him a penny, whereupon he became (un-typically), very verbal and abusive. He said he had gone to a lot of trouble for them, had paid out money, and now was stuck with a vehicle he didn't want. When they told him that the document had been altered and the vehicle didn't exist, he stormed off, and left the next day! 

I am told Colin was an avid reader of 'USA TODAY', which lists all the siezed vehicles to be sold at public auction.Colin read it every day, so that's probably where he got his information.

Just for the record 'my' man at the DEA in London states categorically; 
The DEA do NOT do Auctions! Thanks Rene' ;>)

A Heartfelt letter from a lady who's father lost part of his retirement fund by the 'DEA Auction Scam'
~

Colin Randle was a neighbor of my father John A. Meadows at 88** Brown Church Rd. Mt. Airy, Maryland, as well as my Grandfather's neighbor, Jim Runion at 90** Brown Church Rd. My father was cheated out of $15,000 U.S money.  It was his retirement fund.  Colin convinced my father that he was with the DEA and that he was getting ready to go to an auction where they were auctioning off cars and trucks.  He brought a list to my father say what was being sold, year, make, and models.  Was very convincing that he could get these things for him and convinced my father to give him $15,000 in cash. 
My room mate and my cousin also wanted 4-wheelers and each gave him $600.00. My father doesn't give money to just anyone, especially $15,000.  He is very angry and knows that he has no physical proof he ever gave the man money. However, he is interested in filing charges against this man. If you have any contact information for an agent investigating Colin's fraudulent act's, can you please send me the information to pass on to my Father, John A. Meadows. You don't hear much about con artists in the small town of Mt. Airy and everyone can be very trusting of there neighbors. I do know for a fact now, that Colin was not really the owner at the residence on Brown Church Road, but just staying with a girl friend who owns the home.  She does not expect to see him again. If nothing else, my father learned a very expensive lesson but would like to prevent this man from taking anyone else's hard earned money.

Sincerely
Virginia Meadows

Now we come to the biggest sting of all, $34,000.00!

Hello Andrew I too have been in the delightful company of Colin the Conman. As a matter of fact he posed as a dear friend of mine for well over five years until he stole 34,000.00 dollars in cash from a friend and myself for the purchase of one Mercedes Benz and a Jaguar through a DEA auction which we never received. There is a warrant out for his arrest and DEA is searching for him as well along with several other persons. For more information contact me via e-mail at: nicknak@******.net, my name is Nicole so I know you received this.
~~~
Here is a bit of background information on these scams from the lady who gave him a room in her house.

Hi Andrew
You will be contacted by Richard Rynd and also by John Meadows.  Richard is someone  who "invested" in cars. He gave our friend $34,000.00, but of course he didn't get the cars so had to retrieve his $$$, was able to get all but $9000.00 back. There is a bench warrant in Howard County, MD.  related to this if you care to look.John Meadows is a neighbor on Brown Church Road, he must have financed the trip to England as he is out $15,000.00 that he got as part of his retirement. He visited me yesterday & I told him how to contact you.  He is also contacting the Montgomery County fraud department. He said colin is very good, he had enough information beforehand (by talking to my next door neighbor (relatives of John) so that by the time he got to him he had a wish list of items to entice him with. John said "he did appeal to my greed". He would like him to come back to us as he would meet him........ 

Emily & Tim (Pelican) called here to ask how Colin was... I was going to give you their #, of course you are way ahead.  I know that thru all this Colin has used my name & in the case of my neighbors he told them he owned my home & everything I have, amazing!! I knew he could make things up but I had no idea. I hope these men contact you. I feel really sorry that so many innocent people have been duped by him. My niece Maggie e-mailed me after she read your website, says she's so sorry ..........keep me posted. Diane

Editors note : Emily & Tim phoned, as I did because we were so devastated by the telephone call that Colin had his leg blown off in Columbia while working for the DEA. I have not come across anyone who can provide a logical explanation why Colin would bother to make up such a story. Why not just disappear? 

Letter from Richard Rynd, and the biggest 'sting' to date

RICHARD RYND
85** Leisure Hill Drive
Baltimore, MD 21208.174O

July 27, 1998

Detective Bill Block
Fraud Division
Howard County Police
Southern District
11226 Scaggsville Road
Laurel, MD 20723

Dear Detective Block:

I have spoken to Joe Day Newson in the Howard County States Attorney's Office. I have explained to him some information concerning a fraudulent situation, which occurred in Howard County that involved myself and another person who is a Howard County resident.

I left a message for you, but even before you return my call, I thought it would be wise to tell you about this situation and that I believe this needs to be looked into by someone in your office.

Sometime around the middle of November 1997,1 received a call in my office at 5A Gwynns Mill Court, Owings Mills, MD from Cohn Randle telling me that he as a DEA Officer will be able to do in an auction of cars that have been confiscated by the DEA. He claimed that the DEA officers have the first opportunity to bid on these cars. A call was received as well by Nicole Gasper at the nursing home where she works in Catonsville, MD-Forest Haven Nursing Home.

Nicole Gasper has been a friend to Coin Randle for at least four years. He has planted trees at her house over those years. He said he was a partner in a nursery in Virginia and did that in his part-time. He has taken her out to dinner at least once a month for the past two years. She completely trusted him and believed he was a pilot for the DEA, as I did. Colin Randle frequented the Friendly Bar in Howard County, where Nicole Gasper and I first met him. He has shown a badge and identification showing that he is an officer of the Drug Enforcement Administration. Everyone in the bar thought he was a DEA officer.

Colin said that the amount of money that you plan to bid for the car must be in cash, for the DEA had problems with checks in the past. I thought it was not in keeping with business sense that a government agency would not take a cashier’s check. Nicole was so sure ofher friendship with Colin that she talked me into doing it. On December 1, 1997 I gave Colin $16,060 in cash and Nicole gave him $16,240 in cash. This was given to him at Nicole's house at 1388 Driver Road,
Marriotsville, MD. He put the money in two brown bags and labeled them each with a specific number. He said that within 30 days the auction would take place. 

After the 30 days, we questioned him about the auction and he kept putting us off, and telling us the auction did not go off yet, etc. Finally he said we didn't get the cars that we put a bid in for but we will have the money back in a few days. (By the way, we did get him to sign a receipt for the money, which stated what the money was to be used for.) He stated that the money was in a bank in VA. He told me the banks name. I checked it out and found he had no account with that bank. We also found out that he never worked for the DEA. We also found out he took money from other people using the same ruse.

We gave him an ultimatum that if he didn't pay us back by a certain Monday in February we would go to the authorities. On that Monday, both Nicole and I met Colin at the Forest Haven Nursing Home in Catonsville where he paid Nicole back $7,7OO, it probably was part of our money that he still had. Since then, he has paid her back all of her money and five thousand of mine. He still owes me $11,060. After that time, Colin repeatedly called me on my voice mail on my car phone and left incriminating messages of which I have copies of, on tape. He lives in Montgomery County just over the Howard County line. He does not own any property but lives with a woman who has known him for 20 years and now has lived with her for 5 years. He also lived with someone else on the weekends.

Colin does not work, that we know of. He keeps saying that the money will be returned. We believe he lost this money at the track. Approximately 1 1/2 years ago, Nicole Gasper bought 50% of a horse from Colin. He signed a contract and pictures of the horse were included in the contract. This has also turned out to be a fraud. The horse did not belong to him but belonged to the person he was living with.

We would like to meet with you as soon as possible. We know where he lives and would like to have him picked up as soon as possible before he duplicates what he has done to us. We know of at least three other people he has done this to.

I look forward from hearing from you or Mr. Long. I can be reached at 410 563 ****.

Thank You.

Richard Rynd
 

I should also point out that some of the text of these letters have been altered to correct grammar, spelling and to explain what happened factually, where confusion might occur. The facts are also updated if I am told that something I have written is wrong, so somethng you may have read earlier, may now be different.

14th March 2000

I am in Toronto at the moment on a three week holiday. I have just received a telephone call from my manager who informs me that Colin was caught by Worcester and Hereford police, and is in custody while a case is prepared against him. I will post further details as I get them. I would guess that the car hire company finally reported the car as 'missing'. Just before I left Polperro, I was informed by the police officer handling the case that the warrant for his arrest had been widened to the whole of the UK, and every police force was aware of the interest in the grey Vauxhall Corsa. P.C. Hollings will also have contacted the DEA in London, so that will give Colin an extra bit of interest talking his way out of his secret life as a Drug Enforcement Administration 'special agent'.

I am very grateful to the Welsh Tourist Board, who sent a mailing to every hotel and guesthouse in the whole of Wales.

Colin is to appear at Bodmin Crown Court on Tuesday 21st March. My claim is for the 977.00 I was defrauded plus the cost in transacting the fraudulent cheque. Three of my staff will be attending, and I have told them I want accurate notes!

I have just heard from my manager's wife who went to the court this
morning. Colin didn't even have to appear. The defending council
requested the case be dismissed through lack of evidence, the two
solicitors approached the bench, had a short discussion and the case
was dismissed. It seems that presenting a cheque for goods and
services on a closed account is not a crime! Just another case of him
charming his way out of something.

Rene' at the DEA said in a telephone call that there is no evidence
that he was impersonating a DEA officer apart from hearsay. I find
this odd as Richard Rynnd stated in a letter that Colin has shown him
a DEA badge and ID. Rene has a photocopy of this letter, together with
a copy of the letter that Colin wrote to me, and although it just said
he had lost his 'ID', it also mentioned that he had also lost his
service revolver when he flew into Heathrow airport from Grand Cayman,
which was of course, a lie.

I have just realised that I haven't put Richard Rynnd's letter onto
the website. I remember I sent him an e-mail, and asked if I could use
it, an I also asked why there was a small section covered up, when it
was photocopied. I guess he didn't want to tell me, although I now know the reason. The letter is now shown above.

My manager is going to contact the Crown Prosecution Service tomorrow,
and ask what is going on? When I return to the UK, I am sure I have enough evidence via e-mail to change their minds. I find it odd that others in the UK who were given cheques, have not reported to the police, the fact that they have been returned by the bank. I also wonder what happened about the car hire account, as the rental on 6 months or thereabouts must have been considerable? National Care Hire is an 'easy touch' if someones a car for free! There is not much I can do while I am here, so that's it for the time being.

National Car Hire have said that they are pursuing a claim, as the car was abandoned in Gloucestershire, with an outstanding account of £5000.00. The problem is that they are writing to his last address in Maryland, where he no longer lives, and he probably won't return to the US.

Hi Colin, how the devil are you my old drinking buddy?

Colin is back in Maryland living at Brown Church Road, and is due to appear in court on 22 January 2001. Amazing what the US courts will give away to anyone that asks. Actually have a date of birth and other interesting facts for Colin now, born 13th July 1947, height 5' 9", and 160 lbs. Colin's court appearance is for restitution of $25,000.00 to Carla D Alexander, (that is a new name to me). There are some worrying things on the bottom of the sheet, things like 'jointly and severally', and 'possession of property', poor Diane. The trial is in the District Court of Maryland, Room 6 at 8.45am, and if someone would like to kick him in the shins I would be very grateful :>)

The document mentions District 10, and location 1, but there are two locations in District 10, which is Howard County, Carroll County. I guess the trial will be at Howard County Court, but I will be phoning the administrator to check.

I have a second court document, it seems that a closed trial was set on 6th October 2000 for restitution of $17,700.00 to John Meadows. 'The defendant was released from commitment trial, and all charges disposed, by Judge 9P4'. He said defrauded monies are to be paid by 6th October 2001. It appears that Judge P94 even said the defendant didn't have to pay costs! Nice judge eh? There are some funny comments on the bottom of the form. Colin is ordered to 'Work or attend school regularly, get permission to move, or leave the State, obey all laws, to have no serious motor violations, to notify a supervisor if charged with an offense, and to permnit the supervisor to visit home. He must not illegally possess or sell CD's! He must appear in court when notified, and and pay all fines and costs as ordered. Finally he must submit to Pychiatric evaluation and treatment.
 
Finally, a little note for Colin. We still think about you fondly, Jane sends her love. The golfers were here in October and were asking after you. It is just a shame that you ripped off people who really care for you. You could have had some really good, long term friends over here. I would still like my £977.00 back please.

This website still gets about 90 hits a month, and the commonly used search words used are 'DEA Auction', and 'Colin Randle'. Don't forget, the DEA do NOT do auctions, and if Colin owes you money, well you know where he is.
