Utah MySapce con man arrested
Man Accused Of Targeting Women Online To Cash Bad Checks Arrested:
23-year-old Jeff Ipson of West Jordan, Utah has been arrested for scamming women out of thousands of dollars. Ipson would meet these women on MySpace then convince them that he had money. Then he would pull a scam that I usually only see on craigslist…
“He said, ‘hey we’re closer to your bank and most people don’t take personal
checks so how bout I just write you a check, and you cash it for me’, and that’s how it started.”Detectives say Ipson wrote out checks to the women, had them cash the checks at their banks and give him the money. The checks were all bad because the checking accounts had been closed.
Ipson is facing several felony charges of theft by deception.

I was friends with jeff. he told me all this stuff was in his past, obviously not. i exposed him to my family and friends… he even helped my dad in his yard. i really cant believe he’d go and do all this again… some people never learn.
