Art Howe/Art Davidson

Con artist romantic scammer using dating & social websites

San Diego, California, 92104

I met this guy on POF and we started talking. He convinced me that I was really the one he was looking for. We met in person and immediately began a relationship. He is a father of a young son and claims to own a skateboard company. Right away he became down on his luck and asked that I let him borrow money to front a business transaction that was pending to clear in a couple days. Once the funds cleared he said his business partner took off with the money. For over a year he manipulated me to believe that he loved me and we were in a monogamous relationship. He also continued to be down on his luck and ask me for money but never really spent time with me or called me. He would just text all the time claiming he was so busy. He also convinced me to add him to my cell phone account. I was suspicious from the get go but he always turned it around on me saying I was "trippin" or crazy and that he loved me and was with me only. He would block me from Facebook or other sites so I couldn't see what he was really up to. Ultimately, he made me go bankrupt and got me pregnant. I just found out he has been in a relationship and living with his sons mom the whole time. I started calling numbers on his call activity and talked to a few girls that said they had met him online, slept with him unprotected and given him money recently. The whole time I thought we were in a relationship he was lying to and scamming me and many other women through numerous dating websites, Facebook, etc. leading them to believe they were also in a relationship with him and taking their money. Many of them single moms like myself. He was also having sex with all of them without a condom. All this while also being in a relationship and living as famiky man with his sons mom. Our whole relationship was a lie, everything he said was a lie. When I told him I knew he still continued to lie and try to turn it around on me, telling me I was the only one. He devastated me emotionally, physically and financially.

2006-2007 Same story. Single mom. Unprotected sex. I felt taken advantage of right away and stopped seeing him. I'm so disgusted now. Went by Aiden Howe.
Single mom. I listed him under business owner, loan. Art Howe, Perfect Skateboards, Imperial Beach, California.

I have the legal team to go after this guy and I am. Contact me with any any all PROOF and we will get him.

I get that he may have not been the boyfriend you wanted or whatever. That is NOT ILLEGAL. What is illegal is entering into worthless contracts with women and not repaying personal and business loans.

If you want to get this guy, and he SCAMMED you out of money. LETS DO THIS.

I am going to the District Attorney and to local authorities about him.

Remember this is not about: He two timed me, or he doesn't want to date me or whatever.

This is a legal issue. Lets use the LAW, lets us the AUTHORITIES to get a guy who is taking advantage of people.
contact me at 650 740-6657 if you want to get this guy.

Again, I was not scammed.
