5.13 gears, ARB front and rear, Fw 44 & 9 inch, tub & misc body panels, rims and tires.......................not much more!

all give you the arbs, if in fact there there ive never seen all his tires spin but that could just be his way of wheeling. lets not actually use what we got lets just sit and spin and bore everyone and make them never wheel with me again thing. but the rest ain't worth much. Ive seen the pannels that have over an inch of bondo in them.

Wow, there are a lot more Halle's in the northwest, than I thought.

The addy/phone number I found when I searched Dex for Gerald Halle:

3100 NE 408th St
Woodland, WA 98674-3235
(360) 263-4714
* This listing also appears as Halle, G.

I'd be amazed if somebody else didn't already post this info, but has anybody actually tried calling the number or using the Google streetview or terraserver to see if there's a bronco at this address?

Another thing: Anybody know if Rick is/was married? If so then he's probably switched his listing to that of his spouse to avoid callers by now. It might not hurt to go through the dozen or so Halle's in that part of the country and just call them and ask "I'm trying to contact an old college buddy named Rick Halle, is this his home?". If somebody is related to him, they may admit it before they think twice.

Other phone number/addys listed for Richard Gerald Halle (Born Mar '64):
5310 Sanford Cir. E
Englewood CO 80110
303-691-2502
303-782-0954

There's also a Richard G Halle born in Mar 1949: Here's info for him.
200 North Street
Danvers, MA 01923
978-750-4626

Considering that people were questioning his age, I figured it was possible he was lying about it. But more likely, you can just use these to eliminate info on the wrong person as you find it.

And for Gerald R Halle (born Jan 1966)
3613 Knotty Ct.
Wilmington, NC 28405
910-791-7515
(This is the newer of the two addresses listed for this person, but it's from 2002)

9711 Foster Rd.
Portland OR 97266
503-771-8239


There are a number of other Richard Halle's (no middle initial) in the right age group, but I'm sticking with the ones who have all the correct initials at least. This search took me about 5 minutes and it was no big deal to find this info. If he'd scammed me, I'd take each of the names/addresses and use that as a starting point to keep digging and see which path yielded the person I was looking for. There are a number of addresses which are newer than the ones I listed. If it were me trying to get my money back, I'd consider contacting the DMV or post office and check for forwarding addresses. Or at least search for newer addresses than the most recent known address and use those as starting points.

This really is like a big, easy to solve jigsaw puzzle. All you need to do is invest the time. There's no rocket science to finding this guy.... I guarantee that all you need to know is at your fingertips.

I started a new hotmail account and sent Rick an email to contact me using a fake name. The F##k A** called me back and I told him he had the wrong number. I didn't at first recognize the fake name. It was a week later when I put it together and searched my AT&T bill for his new number. They don't have this months billing up yet, I will find him!

I bet he is smart enough to watch this board to see what people know. Not sure if that makes a difference to anyone but something to think about if you are getting close.

I Google street viewed those address above. the Englewood address looks like too nice of a place for a guy who is likely renting. The North Carolina address has a Ford Explorer in its driveway which I thought he had one of? The other looks like an apartment. Alot of Google's street view is pretty recent FWIW. I can go to the Englewood address if anyone is interested.

It is sad that a guy who has stolen multiple thousands of dollars from people here, I think, a felony offense BTW, can not be prosecuted.

I have no interest in this other than I have been scammed by a$$hats like him and I do not want to be the rationally ignorant internet user who doesn't care since it may or may not have affected him.

Let me know if I can help any way.

I think you're absolutely right, Dennis. The guy practically lived on this website for years and had somewhere near 10,000 posts. From what I understood, he also made a living working with computers and/or doing programming work so being online was, and probably still is, his livelihood. Unless he's already in jail or so junked-up from meth that he doesn't know who he is, you can bet your bottom dollar he's reading all these posts. I wouldn't be surprised if he has another sign-on and has posted here.

If I was on the hunt for this guy, I wouldn't be posting up critical info on this board for him to see and anticipate my next move.

Hey Guys......
One other thing to consider.
Each time Rick Halle's name shows up on the web, is is a potential hit for a future employer, In my day job, when I do hiring, I Google EVERY one of the people I interview, some of the stuff that people put on their Facebook and Myspace just blows me away, what are they thinking?
I will tell you this with as many times as his name show up, and what it's connected to, he will remain self employed, or maybe, just maybe cleaning shopping carts at 0300 for some sub-contractor of the Canned Food Warehouse.......

Oh, he can be prosecuted. The big hangup in cases like this is that it takes some actual work by the people he scammed. Most of the time people just don't want to put the work in. They'd rather put their loss behind them and move on. I can't blame them, but that's exactly what lets the scammers get away with it.

Those addresses I posted were just the few most likely that I found. There are easily a dozen more to choose from. Since I didn't get scammed, I didn't feel like going off the deep end and posting every possible address. That's up to somebody else.

You guys just dont have any faith. Buy something with a lead time of 6 months per unit. Think about having quite a few of them to build. It might be years before most of you will see them. He probably moved for warmer weather conditions, so they could be finished in a more timely manner. And with so many people hounding him, no wonder he isnt answering anybody back. It takes so much time out of getting a good quality job done. And with a flood of customers in a short time, he is probably WAY BEHIND in getting the work out. Sorry I feel bad just sitting here LMAO!!!! I hope some of you were smart enough to use Paypal or credit card with some kind of buyer protection.

I hope he is reading this! I want him to feel pressure and call me. If he realizes he is close to being caught then maybe he will do something about it.

I'm going to give fordtrucks4ever the benefit of the doubt and assume he is being sarcastic. I personally think the post makes more sense that way.

Then again maybe I shouldn't...I've been ridiculed before for trying to stick up for a bronco brother when the OP neglected to post the back-story that led to his seemingly unfounded and sharp remarks.

Sorry for being a little too subtle in the sarcasm department. I figured a little fuel on the fire to help this thread along. Maybe stay alive long enough for someone to run into the scumbag. I know if I met him at a swap meet, would definately keep the beers comming until the cement in the overshoes started to set up.
