Serious question to those who just do not give a shit and continue to buy Judd parts

I believe his wife is also involved in scams and cons. Seems logical that she would help.
Ok I admit his wife may be able to sell things under his name. To get new products made, that is probably outside of her purview. So if Judd goes to prison, and Travis is selling and producing new products, then would you admit they are probably different people? That would probably do it for me.

Going from memory, but I believe someone was shipping things to Judd and someone got something from Travis with a return address that showed that the address was the same that Judd used. Travis and Judd gave/showed the same address to two different people, is what I remember was the case with linking the two.

I have read lots of bizarre stories about Judd/Travis/his wife, that just baffles me. Would be a crazy documentary.
 
Didn't Travis Reynolds facebook page and etsy page just go dark...

...mysteriously?
If he has been doing this as long as it seems he has, he must know when to cut and run... or his lawyer has him cutting all evidence of social media ties with other names. But digital history is pretty easy to track...

 
For years I kept stumbling onto him trying to find parts for a Paperboy controller but I was privvy to the situation from being on byoac for a bit so I asked a lot of questions and avoided buying any of the contraband.
I found KLOV via this fiasco actually.
Adam, Travis, EpicGarage Sale, Arcadewhatever, etc...
Quite obvious it is the same dirtball, no matter what he decides to actually have produced and/or actually ship out.
If someone bought something from him before knowing what has been going on, well you could be forgiven I suppose.
But I wouldn't knowingly buy from that guy and I can't say I think too highly of anyone if they continue to do so knowing what has been going on.
 
Maybe. We will know shortly whether they are the same person or not. Because the Judd person will be in court and or prison. And Travis is still selling stuff on Facebook today. If that continues while Judd is in prison, it will be interesting to say the least.
Or it could be his wife, with a bogus account.

I can't make that leap.

The only way we can be sure is to see them both, or get pictures of both.

Does anyone have any pictures of "Travis?"
 
I will say I contributed a bit to this but not having knowledge of who he really was. I was picking up my Food Fight cabinet and attending an auction when I was looking for a harness. I saw a thread where a member had gotten a Food Fight harness and joystick from Travis on Facebook. I asked the member, and they said they got everything just fine. I contacted Travis and he got back saying two to three weeks and he would have one made. Again, I was on my phone at an in person auction all day and did not do my homework like I should have. I did not know much Travis and/or Ram controls. I should have done a Travis Reynolds search on KLOV but did not. I generally assume people in the hobby are going to do another person in the hobby right and it was only $230 so I wasn't as diligent as I would have been for more money. I sent the money PayPal. Not friends and family. Ater a month and a half of excuses for not sending I smelled a bit of a scam. I will take one or maybe two excuses but continual excused look like a tactic to extend beyond the PayPal dispute window. I then searched Travis Reynolds and found some info. At this point I thought it was a dead issue, so I continued to harass him by FB messenger. I did not let on that I thought he was scamming. Then his arrest blew up all his threads. This is when I saw the connection to Adam Judd and the other aliases. At this point I figured the messenger harassment was over as he was not going to answer anything after being arrested. I also wanted to create a trail to show an intent to defraud. I would not have pursued charges as it would have been difficult. I had always intended to file a dispute with PayPal but we were getting near the 6-month mark and with him being tied up legally I found it probable he would not answer the PayPal inquiry. I did also request a refund from him by messenger. PayPal gave me the money back after the period he had to respond. I also filled out my information on the google info form for the prosecution.

As a side note. Law Enforcement most likely took all his computers, phones, and storage media. They also would have put in preservation letters with any social media sites they knew him to use. This tells the social media sites to make a backup of all the communications and posts by the person in case they delete them. This is an emergency thing as search warrants take time. They probably have already sent of the search warrants. A bunch of the sites drag their feet complying with search warrants and some just plain ignore them if they find one thing, they don't like in the way the warrant is worded. It also takes time to break into devices with good encryption and passwords. It sometimes takes months to get the system cracked. I hope they are looking at more than just the major supplier fraud, but I would not be surprised if they are not aware of the countless cases of fraud against his customers. As I have said before, I am a retired detective, so I have handles cases like this in the past.

Some may say, how can a retired detective be taken? Very easy. The more money I put out the more due diligence I do. I have not ability to access any of the information I had when I was a detective, so I am google searching like anybody else. I also do a bunch of business with the militaria collecting crowd and the military vehicle parts and collecting crowd. Generally, I trust people on forums I frequent as forums most established members have a reputation to uphold and if they mess up the community generally lumps on them. Adam does a good job of delivering to some so that muddies any search attempts on him as you will see people saying they got good stuff from him. My due diligence in this case stopped at the member telling me the Food Fight Harness buy he did go well. That was until Adam "Travis" excuses started.

If I knew then what I know now I would not have done business with him. Even if he was standing in front of me with the harness in his hand and I knew I would get it. I would not want to fuel his ability to take other people for money and my moral code prevents me from doing any business with known fraudsters.

So, in answer to Tombo's question, not everyone here reads every thread or has been here for years to see the guy was a shyster when they order stuff from him. In my case, knowing about him now I would not have even contacted him for something. Consider this, I would bet most of the people that bought from him did not know he was a man with no morals.
 
Ask @DLP He buys Judd's harnesses knowing the whole story.

For the record, shortly after this time period above, Jeff discovered this was Judd and put a halt to doing business with him. Many people, even long time members who choose not to participate in the drama here are still realizing even today that this con man exists and with what aliases he may or may not be using. Dragging someone through the mud without ALL the information seems to be a pattern with you and it will be stopping immediately or you WILL face the consequences. Yes, this is a direct threat to your membership here.

I have known Jeff personally for decades and to see you smear him like this is absolute bullshit.

The address proof that was provided in the threads is more than enough proof for court. You can't compare profile pics as they are usually just stolen for fraudulent accounts. Has anyone seen Travis in person or is it all messaging and phone calls? The address proof from other threads is really compelling. We had a database to show all names, relatives, present and former addresses aliases, etc. It was a great resource. The database is for law enforcement investigations but is not a government database. Using the information in the KLOV threads an investigator would be able to easily prove the alias and it might already be in the database. Also, I the Facebook search warrants, and his computers and phones will show he was using Travis Reynolds. I doubt they would need to go that deep on it. The jury never sees all the evidence the police have. If they did the trial would take weeks or months or the investigator to present it all. Just the amount of evidence needed to gain the conviction is used. Sometimes this information comes back to rebut a defense witness or evidence. Either way, looking over the threads has convinced me enough and I haven't read everything available.

That's more compelling than needing to see each one. Thanks for providing the details.

Thats not true, he admitted knowing all the story but said "he never had a problem"
 
I think there are a lot of people who:

1) Honestly didn't know
2) Knew but weren't sure, or weren't aware of enough of the evidence that exists
3) Knew and were sure, but chose to still buy from him for any one of multiple possible reasons (like 'getting theirs', or '*I* never had a problem with him')
4) Knew and didn't support him.

What's really important right now is that EVERYONE in groups 1, 2, and 3 make the decision for themselves to become part of group 4, and continue to spread the word to people they think are still in groups 1-3.

Everyone being in the last group is what's best for this COMMUNITY. It keeps our immune system strong, so we minimize the chances of him or any other shitbags taking advantage of anyone here.

It doesn't matter how people get there, the important thing is that they get there. And we should give folks some slack along the way. But it's important for as many people as possible to get there by their own choice, being given all of the information. This is how we immunize this community (with knowledge), to make it impossible for him or anyone else to screw anyone over again.

The biggest problem is everyone participating on the forums should be in the number 4 group but in six months he might be awaiting trial. This is a very likely scenario. I am going to court on a case from before I retired in 2021 at the end of this month. I hope he has either learned the jig is up or is on such a short leash while awaiting trial that he doesn't do it again. More likely is he or his family come up with another name and account and will be trying to scam money for the attorney. The new people six months from now might not see or read the threads and he has a fresh ignorant set of victims. I only came up on the forum and got hard into the arcade scene back in 2019 or so. I did not have the advantage of the years of knowledge about him and his companies. Also, a bunch of the Facebook crowd does not participate on KLOV. I have seen some posts on Facebook about this so hopefully the word gets out but diligence is the only way we can make sure we spot any new identities or companies by Judd.

I applaud all the forum old timers and the admins that continue to figure out his new names and companies and report on it to the forum.
 
After I was banned, I continued to see this guy pop up under different names around and it was so obvious it was him. No one else at the time was making the obscure parts he was. I distinctly remember seeing the guy "Travis" selling harnesses and on some site, I can't remember now, he was also selling the gimble controllers and 720 rebuild kits. It was plain as the nose on your face. I thought, damn this guy is scandalous. I never was scammed by him or bought anything from him. Way back when he went bat shit and decided to start banging guys for SW cockpits, I was floored that people were sending him money for something if you stopped for 5 seconds and thought about it, you would realize just how improbable it was to think that this was something that was going to happen. There were plenty of people around here who were hesitant about doing business with this guy. I believe by the SW time, there were already guys waiting on PCBs from this guy for a while. It's great to come back this place to see this guy getting served back what is undoubtedly just a small portion of what he deserves.

That was probably me that told you that? If so I'm sorry! It was the truth though, I did get the items and they were stellar.
