So you're still trying to get information about J.C.F. so you can start another fake book launch to steal money like you did from myself and numerous other people. Everyone be sure to read this link before you send anything to this crook.

Mr Abbott says it is an impostor. Surely, no one would attach their real name if it were a scam ?

Please at least have the good grace to read through the complete thread on Naturalismo linked above and check the evidence from numerous people (not just myself) including traceable links to the email address which Jim Abbott uses to this day. Jim Abbott advertised the book as available, solicited money from people, kept the money, sent no books, then refused to reply to emails. He admitted to me that Helter Skelter bookshop were going to publish it but the owner had died leaving him without funding or a publisher and that he would have to pay for it himself. Shortly after that coincidentally any response to enquiries about when I was going to get my book and CD miraculously stopped as it did for everyone else who had paid him.

He then later invented the story that someone had used his name and credentials (after being on the receiving end of numerous complaints) to cover his tracks despite several people including myself having correspondence directly from him at his verifiable email address saying the book was ready and would be sent. The man is a thief I'm afraid and when you have read through the comments on the Naturalismo site linked above you will see beyond any possible doubt that this is the case. I'm not saying that he didn't start out with good intentions but when it went pear shaped he kept the money and made up a pack of lies. Please at least read through the various comments before deciding whether to believe anything that Jim Abbott says to you about Jackson C. Frank and his fictitious book and CD.

I confess I didn't read the other comments, but that's because I didn't realise they were there.
It would be an outrage if someone were to do the things you describe. I just thought it odd that there were no other "victims" joining the thread here.

Is it the case that you are the only victim who is vigilant, do you think ? Anyway, you have my sympathy.

Thanks for that Geoff. As someone he stole, from good to know he's coming to Cropredy over here in England.

I doubt that very much. It was a question. I Don't think his answer will be "yes I'll see you there." Pity, I owe him something.
