The fake cop robs again

About a week ago, there was discussion on here about a thief who pretends to be a police officer making an arrest and robs providers. I have been told by a lady I know that she was robbed by such a person on Thursday, May 7 around noon in a Plymouth Meeting area hotel and is uncertain whether she can report it to the police. I am sharing this information  just so everyone should know to be on guard.

For obvious reasons that certainly need not be mentioned, I find it to be impossible to press charges within the law.  The only alternative may unfortunately be street justice, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who knows what that is.  If not, check out the clip I attached and you will understand.

..the current info that he is using...The only way he will not get away with this is the provider willing to share information that may help any other provider that he may contact next trying to set up an appt..

I'm not sure if anybody actually talked to him at work or if they just called and listened to his voice mail.

Remember, vice cops work in teams or units.  Pairs at the very minimum, thought I have only heard of that once.  Never alone.

Would someone who knows his info, everything you may know as far as name, alias' phone numbers to please E-mail me at [email protected]

options?  legal guys?? what are the options...

Men in blue, what can a lady do to protect herself and others...

I would think that someone has to ferret the guy out and greet him with a blanket party.

You should report it to the police. End of story.

Cops can be pricks in some areas, but everybody has equal protection under the law, and cops actually feel strongly about that. I think you will find that if you contacted the authorities they would encourage you to come forward.

From a legal standpoint, they can't do anything against you because they weren't there to observe it. However, the guy that stole from you still stole from you, even though time has passed, police can still investigate and make a case, i.e. look at video feeds from hotel, find your belongings, etc.,.

What he did to you is far more serious then the other stuff - especially if a weapon was involved, especially since he was impersonating a police officer - which is a major no-no.

The enforcement of what essentially is an illegal contract is the area of legal concern, I believe.  Contracts of an illegal nature are not enforcement under the law; a dope transaction where the buyer fails to pay or the seller fails to deliver the goods cannot be brought to court.  An underground numbers game where the house welches on the guy with the winning number is another example of someone who broke a contract that is not enforceable under the law.  The burden of proof is also a problem - how does one prove beyond reasonable doubt that he did what he did?  The written law says what the guy did is against the law, for sure, but realistically how reasonable is it that if brought before charges he is found guilty of such?  I believe little if any chance.  That's why I believe it needs to be addressed in a different way - vigilante style.

Since posting the above, I've been notified of a couple of PMs, which I cannot open since I only have a basic membership at present. In view of these inquiries and those on the board, I am posting all I know here. The victimized lady is well reviewed and a longtime visitor to the area. She thought it would not accomplish anything to announce her name, and accepted my offer to post her news for her, since she is less familiar with use of the board.

She said that the guy gave the name of Angelo Aiello and gave a phone number that she later found to be disconnected. She suspects that the name was an alias and that he was using other identities, although she had found that everything checked out when she first screened him.  She said he was about 5 feet 8 inches tall, white, had very short hair, wore glasses, and showed a New Jersey driver's license. (Why would a cop in Pa. have a Jersey license? I guess under stress one doesn't think of that. If any of the above sounds not right, this is all I know.)

After they'd had some initial physical contact, he announced he was police, that he would check the room for illegal substances, and finding none would just assess her a fine. She handed over her money as he asked for fear of her safety. He also took some of her lingerie. Believe me, I'm not making any of this up- it's all what she told me.

I can't remember the name of the girl who called me because I was taken off guard and very distracted by something else.  However, I do remember that she said she advertises on Eros and that is where she found me.  I would guess that she is from Europe.  
Anyway, your story sounds similiar, but not exact to what I was told.  Even if it is the same lady, I am sure that there are more victims.

One thing that I am sure of, impersonating a cop is a big deal to the real cops.  About 4 or 5 years ago I was called by the FBI.  Yes, I know it was them because I went and found a phone book and called them back.  There was a guy here in Vegas doing the same thing - pretending to be a cop and robbing ladies.  They quickly figured out that I know many of the ladies here and thought that I might have some info for them.  I wasn't able to help, but I found out how much they frown upon impersonating a law enforcement officer.
