It seems former stripper and career criminal, Julian Cauvin, AKA Julian James, AKA Yves Cauvin, spends the holiday season each year posting insane accusations about a Washington State real estate Broker who represented him for just two months in 2006.

The listing was never sold because Mr. Cauvin/James was picked up by US Marshals and returned to a Nevada prison he had escaped from. The DA’s office later asked this same realtor, Michael Creel,  to give evidence in his prosecution, and the 15-year campaign of harassment began. 

Over the years, James/Cauvin has filed numerous frivolous complaints and lawsuits against Mr. Creel. Even filing anti-stalking orders for protection against him even though Creel hadn’t been in the country for years. His claims have made such accusations that Creel had cut the brake lines on his car and loosened his lugnuts. 

None of his claims are true, and he has never prevailed in court. He has succeeded in getting a no-contact order in place at one point. He was able to do so as Creel was not in the country and had never once initiated contact with Cauvin/James, only on occasion responding to his threatening emails. 

On Christmas day, he attempted to post the message on the upper right to a website that kindly informed Creel of the attempt, as Mr. Cauvin/James has become well-known in the message board community. The reality is his own assistant/scam victim filed the POA in question after he requested it. Apparently she misplaced it and fabricated a new one to replace it. 

Obviously not knowing what she was doing she filled it out completely wrong thus it granted no POA at all. The POA was never used as it was worthless, so his claims it was used to defraud him is a total fabrication. He made the accusations to prevent Marcia Smith from bearing witness against him for defrauding her in a straw mortgage scam. 

Cauvin/James is oblivious to the well-documented 40 years of criminal history he has established across three states. He refers to court records, investigative reports, police reports, and psychological evaluations by professionals as “Lies.” In his mind, lies are the truth, and the truth is all lies. 

His criminal past dates back to 1984 and terror victims include his ex-wife (WA), two girlfriends; one of which he had a child with (WA), a man he sold a business to that he did not own (NV), a woman he stole a car from and attempted to sell (CA) almost 100K in hot checks in casinos (NV), his office assistant (WA), his brother (WA), a handicapped woman (WA), an entire family owned business (WA), a real estate broker and his wife (WA), an Assistant DA (WA), and many more. 

The reality is that Cauvin/James has a long history of criminal conduct, much of which involved female victims. Many are violent crimes, many are financial. He's held women at gunpoint, robbed them, destroyed their credit, stolen and sold their cars, conned them into buying fake diamonds, and ruined their lives in general. This is not an opinion, this is merely what the legal documents on this site describe in detail. 

Currently, a victim is in contact with the DeTray family, whom Cauvin also stalked, and they will be called to testify in the lawsuit Cauvin has self- filed. That victim may be purchasing the almost $300,000 judgment the DeTrays have already won against him.

Despite repeated claims that he has a legal team and is suing one victim for $5,000,000, neither is true. Despite claiming money was stolen from his accounts by a realtor, that is not true. Despite claiming one of his victims fled to Iraq to avoid prosecution, that is not true, and frenkly, its just stupid to even claim. In fact, all of Cauvin/James claims against his victims have no merit, they are fabrications designed to harass, humiliate, terrorize, and dissuad victims from speaking out. The psychologist report details this very clearly (Read). 

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing in support of the petition of Ron Belec, Michael Creel, and Marcia Smith for a civil order of protection against Julian Cauvin. Mr. Cauvin is currently the subject of a criminal action filed in King County Superior Court (cause no. [protected] SEA). I am the deputy prosecutor assigned to this case.

It is anticipated that Ms. Smith will be needed to testify in the trial that may occur in the coming months in the above-referenced action. Mr. Belec and Mr. Creel have provided useful information regarding Mr. Cauvin's actions and behaviors. Ms. Smith, Mr. Belec, and Mr. Creel have reported to me that they believe they have recently been subjected to harassment by Mr. Cauvin, and their reports to me bear the ring of truth, though further investigation is warranted before additional criminal charges are filed.

I believe it is appropriate, under these circumstances, for a civil order of protection to be granted to them. It is my hope that such an order would discourage Mr. Cauvin from engaging in any further acts against these individuals, would provide them with some well-deserved peace of mind, and would allow the justice system to move forward on the above-entitled action more effectively and efficiently.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at [protected] or by e-mail at david.seaver@kingcounty.gov. 

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,


David Seaver
Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Criminal Division

On June 6th, 2014, AllReaders.net obtained records showing that Yves Cauvin was released from King County Jail after being detained in Lane County Oregon and transferred to Washington on a fugitive warrant.

Cauvin faced numerous fraud charges in Washington State and was recently incarcerated in Nevada for stealing a rental car. After six months of incarceration while awaiting trial at King County Jail, Cauvin plead guilty to Money Laundering to avoid prosecution for fraudulent straw mortgages he orchestrated in 2008 while having absconded from Parole in Nevada. He was picked up by US Marshals on a fugitive warrant and returned to prison in Nevada.

On March 27, 2011 Brian Neil Burkel, the notorious owner of AutographsAmerica.com was arrested for assault; his most recent court appearance was June 6, 2011.

Once we have obtained the documents detailing Mr. Burkels latest court adventure, we will of course post them. Burkel has a history of violence against women; see related doc below regarding a previous arrest for punching a pregnant woman in the stomach.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has filed a complaint against an Alberta-based "online operation" that has allegedly bilked customers out of nearly half a billion dollars. In a statement issued earlier this week, the FTC said the complaint centres on 10 online marketing companies controlled by Jesse Willms, a 23-year-old Alberta man.

The FTC has accused those companies of defrauding customers in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand out of more than US$450 million. That allegation has not been proven in court, and Willms has not faced any charges.

According to the complaint, which was filed May 16, Willms' companies operate a scam in which customers are offered "free" or "risk-free" trials and are then charged for products or services they never agreed to buy.

The free trials, advertised through spam and pop-up ads, were for items such as acai berry weight-loss pills, teeth whiteners, health supplements, free credit reports, access to government grants and a work-at-home plan.

Once customers had signed on, the FTC alleges that they often incurred unauthorized monthly charges, typically for $79.95. The complaint also alleges that customers had problems cancelling the charges or securing a refund, despite a money-back guarantee. "The defendants used the lure of a ‘free' offer to open an illegal pipeline to consumers' credit card and bank accounts," said David C. Vladeck, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, in the statement.

"‘Free' must really mean ‘free' no matter where the offer is made." The complaint seeks to stop the alleged illegal scam and to force the companies to repay their customers for money earned through "deceptive tactics." Willms has at least half a dozen websites devoted to his activities. Most tout his philanthropic work.

One site describes him as "a true Canadian success story." It also includes a statement denying the FTC's allegations. "We believe our business practices are compliant with the law and are working to resolve this disagreement with the appropriate government agencies," Willms wrote. "Our companies give consumers the opportunity to buy a variety of products and services at significant savings."

Willms also wrote that he has hired James Kaminski, a Washington-based lawyer who used to work for the FTC "to try to resolve this matter quickly." A number of Canadian authorities including the RCMP, the Alberta Partnership Against Cross Border Fraud and the Competition Bureau of Canada have been assisting in the investigation, the FTC said.

The companies facing allegations include Circle Media Bids, Coastwest Holdings, Farend Services, JDW Media, Net Soft Media, Sphere Media and True Net. All are registered in Canada.

Scammers are phishing in the Coachella Valley and local banks are warning residents not to take the bait.

Phishing is a type of Internet scam used to obtain confidential information via e-mail, it is a type of identity theft that is an industry-wide, financial experts say.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's name was even fraudulently used in a phishing scheme, according to the FDIC website.

While not a new issue, the problem is “rampant” enough that Indian Wells Councilman Bill Powers, who recently retired as president and CEO of Pacific Western Bank, addressed the issue during the city's June 17 council meeting; “There's an awful lot of phishing going on,” Powers said. “So be careful.”

The Anti-Phishing Working Group estimates that more than 2,600 active phishing sites exist on the Internet, all aimed at conning people into divulging sensitive financial information. Powers was prompted to make the public warning after a few friends contacted him about e-mails they received from Pacific Western Bank.

Bank of America and Wells Fargo patrons also reported receiving similar e-mails, officials say.

“Phishing e-mails are randomly sent and generally, fraudsters don't know if people they send them to are Wells Fargo or Wachovia customers. They simply hope that a percentage of their messages will be received by our customers,” said Amy Savicky, spokeswoman for Wells Fargo.

Customers are encouraged to report such scams to their banks. “Bank of America e-mail will never ask customers to reply with any personal information or data,” said Colleen Haggerty, spokeswoman for Bank of America. “When in doubt, do not click on any links provided"
