Well.  I must admit, several of us did meet him in Ottawa at Darcy McGee's.   My first known face to face with a 'real' Con artist.  He did turn on the charm.  He did some very touching things for HitorMiss and the others when they returned from Afghanistan and were in hospital in Ottawa.  He got in good with the padre.  He really was something.  Warning Bells were going off during his stay here on Army.ca, and now we know why with the W5 exposee.

The whole saga is very interesting indeed.

Hehe, I was half tempted to "add him", figuring he wouldn't pass up a chance to add another chick...but like you said....nah!

That is definately alarming, kind of reminds me of a movie i once watched, Strangeland. you never know who you are going to meet or talk to online, and people like that give the net a bad name

Must we?

As RBD said you reap what you sow. I think maybe this is dead with the posting of the descroption of the TV show on page 4 as a decription for those who didn't know this individual and were curious.

The rest I think is just playing into him. IMO

This guy has no conscience, and does not think like we do, we must be weary of him, and others like him.

He preys on the weak, nieve, the honest, and people who are most vulnerable after personal tragedies. A parasite is too good of a word.

Remember, no conscience, and no remorse. A hinderance to all good people, and who should be ashamed of himself, but remember he only cares about himself, and would steal his grandmother's inheritance without showing anything but cold calous behaviour, that of a cold calculating career criminally insane mind.

This guy took advatnage of us, even bought the army.ca coin on ebay, and returned it to Mike. He was getting in on our good side, but things have not quiet been right with him for a while, we all knew something was off centre.

We 'normal people' must be patient, sooner or later the Mounties will get him, and some big gaol-cell mate will be shagging his ***, as we are at home watching W5, ha!

John if you read this, you are simply a mongrel.


Cheers,

Wes

Sorry Hitormiss but I disagree, the more people that become aware of John Hill and people of his ilk, maybe the word will get out more and the less likely someone else will fall prey.

Cripes, the first two on that list look like criminals themselves...
How can you be sure it's him though?  John Hill has to be a pretty common name.

I just watched the W5 clip that Tess had included, my jaw just dropped watching that and with reading that he was a member here, Just goes to show, how close to home situation like this can hit. I had to turn it off, when I got to the part of him on the 'cooking show' just sickening.

I dunno about that facebook, it doesn't provide a picture and his friends all seem a little on the young side.
Plus John and Hill are fairly common first and last names I'm sure there's more than one in Calgary.

You're absolutely correct on that note.

Hey, if anyone else finds this poser listed anywhere else, please feel free to post the link up as a warning to others. He is popping up all over the place on sites after all -- preying on the unsuspecting and uniformed.

We may have outted him here last year, and be done with him personaly ... but there's nothing wrong with warning others about his antics when we're aware of them; I sure don't consider that a waste of bandwidth. Feel free to ignore this thread if you have nothing constructive to add.

How's that LWQ?? Will that save enough bandwidth to make you personaly happy?

If bandwidth was that big a concern, we wouldn't have a zillion pages of fluff in Radio Chatter.

This thread has been discussed by Mike and the Staff. For now we feel the merits of keeping it open outweigh the merits of closing it.

Now let's stick to the topic at hand.

Army.ca Staff
“Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimum food or water, in austere conditions, day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon. He doesn’t worry about what workout to do—his rucksack weighs what it weighs, and he runs until the enemy stops chasing him. The True Believer doesn’t care ‘how hard it is’; he knows he either wins or he dies. He doesn’t go home at 1700; he is home. He knows only the ‘Cause.’ Now, who wants to quit?”

Perhaps this topic could get pinned, so if anything comes up later on it will be easier to find?

As has been suggested, let's keep the conversation to the facts. The point of this thread is to get info about John Hill out there, if someone has to wade through 20 pages of rants (albeit warranted) it makes the thread less useful. Please feel free to post a link if you find information about John. Maybe if we'd been a bit more vocal last year, the woman profiles on W5 last night wouldn't have been scammed.

Tossing around insults won't help - we all know what kind of a 'man' John Hill is - so let's stick to reporting the facts to help prevent any further victims.
