This is the latest in a series of 6StringStu Reviews that expose the
numerous panhandling/fundraising scams that James Stuart Hodges (aka
6StringStu) has been running on the Internet for the past five years.
What makes this particular fundraising scam noteworty is that it is running
concurrently and in conflict with the claims that James Stuart Hodges makes
in a so-called relocation scam that he is presently running on Facebook.

The clear and undeniable purpose of the fraudulent Jmwa Stuart Hodges
fundraising scam (full text cited below) is to get naive and unsuspecting
fools, who are unaware of his criminal record and his sociopathic behavior
on the Usenet, to send him money so that he can allegedly purchase a home
for himself and the piece of trailer trash that he married four years ago
at age 50. But, what the bull-shit sob-story in the scam's writeup fails
to mention is the fact that the marriage to his so-called "heart throb"
ended in divorce nearly two years ago.

While it is beyond the scope of this Review to address all of the false
clims in that James Stuart Hodgs makes in his fraudulent fundraising scam,
the following are particularly noteworthy.
1) James Stuart Hodges shot himself in the foot and is totally responsible
for his disability.
2) James Stuart Hodges is neither epileptic nor blind, and doesn't need a
guide dog.
3) James Stuart Hodgs sold a home that he owned in North Dakota, but
squandered the proceeds on fravolous toys instead of re-investing the
proceeds in a new home in Florida.
4) James Stuart Hodges has no "catalog". Using his computer and some crap
audio equipment, he recorded one CD five years ago, sold less than 500
copies, and hasn't done squat since.
5) James Stuart Hodges terminated his weekly internet radio broadcast on
iWebRadio two years ago.
6) James Stuart Hodges is not an "award-winning musician". He got some
free grant money which he pissed away on a few toys that were supposed to
be used for performaces that mostly never materialized.
7) James Start Hodegs only pretends to be an advocate for the disabled, but
he has destroyed at least three and possibly more forums for the disabled
in which he has participated.

In reality, James Stuart Hodges (aka 6StromgStu) is nothing other than a
silver-tongued con artist and master manipulator. Until recently, it's
been a cake walk for him to avoid having to confront his criminal record
and his sociopathic behavior on the UseNet. But, thanks to Google and
other on-line search engines, criminals and sociopaths like James Stuart
Hodges can't hide from the documented record. And because buiness owners
don't want negative publicity on social media like Facebook or anywhere
else, that's a major problem for a criminal and self-proclaimed sociopath
like James Suart Hodges when interviewing for a so-called gig. For
example, when doing a Google search for James Stuart Hodges and/or
6StringStu, the following is what a business owner is going to find.

We need your help getting the word out! Employers wont hire a blind
epileptic.Under Neighbor helping
neighborhttp://www.gofundme.com/1qxsq0First off, this is not a tax donation
charity. This is one guy, not an organization. This has the potential to
greatly improve one family's life. A disabled couple doing their level best
to enjoy each other and as independent a life as is possible. Meet Jim
Hodges and Guide Dog Gifford. This is a fundraiser designed to assist a man
to realize the dream of home ownership for a second time, complete with a
home audio recording and broadcasting studio. Which he will use to continue
working on his catalouge, as a A.S.C.A.P. (American Society of Composers
and Performers) member and as a weekly internet Radio Broadcaster. Jim also
has hopes to one day become involved in creating jingles and voice overs,
possibly as a home business idea.Even if you are not in a position to
assist this fundraising you may know someone who is. Please share this link
where you can.Gifford is Jim's second Service Animal. In 1995 Jim suffered
a head injury and was in a coma for some time. Upon waking he regained 25%
of his central field of vision. Still very near sighted and sensitive to
bright light and also is unable to see very well in low light situations.
Jim also suffers from a "Post Surgical Neurological Disorder"
(Seizures).Early on in his rehabilitation, while still in Kernan Hospital,
a friend brought Jim one of his guitars. Music was there in the beginning
to help rebuild a shattered life.During his long rehabilitation, and
following that trajic day in September, 2001, on Christmas Eve, Jim was
reunited with his family after twenty years incommunicado.In 2004 Jim
traveled west to see his mother one last time before she was taken by The
same type of cancer that took is oldest sister the year before, giving her
an in home performance with that same flat topped guitar.Little did she
know, that the small boy she had once taken into a music shop at age 5
would become talented enough to sing and play guitar. This was a side of
Jim that she had never seen, since he was raised mostly out of her care.
While there he made two promises at his mom's request. To purchase a house
he could call his own and to do something with his music.With that in mind
Jim bought a small house in NW North Dakota in 2005 and began production on
a home produced album.Which was awarded a 2007 Music Fellowship Award from
the North Dakota Council on the Arts.Here is a link to Jim's Band page on
MySpace:http://www.myspace.com/hawkinnc45Jim maintains that is has been his
love of music which has helped him through the hard times. When disability
and lack of transportation kept him home bound and dependant upon others
for shopping and medical appointment trips, it was music which filled the
hours and served as a vehical for Jim to regain proficiency and confidence,
building self esteem and gaining trust in his own abilities.In 2010 Jim
sold a house he purchased for $2,500.00, invested another $2,500.00 into,
for $15,000.00 and relocated to Florida.Where a woman he had dated back
before his head injury, was living.You know where this is headed, right?
Yep, October 7th, 2011 Jim married, for the first and last time in his
life, to a woman he had known for over 25 years.All part of the ongoing
rehabilitation from, and surviving of, a serious brain injury which nearly
took his life and honoring the commitments he made to his dying
mother.Because Jim has been existing on a very low income of disability
insurance, life has not been easy. It's been hard to work on his talent and
push his craft. It's been difficult to provide the right environment that
is conducive to the creative process, in a small rent assisted
apartment.Because Jim pays his bills on time, for so many years, he no
longer has a credit rating. Which is worse then having bad credit! A recent
application to U.S. Rural Development, for a low interest housing loan came
back as eligible, but only for $20,000.00. Property in his new state of
residence does not have suitable housing in that price range.With that in
mind Jim has also looked into alternative funding sources. And is currently
seeking information on a S.H.I.P. Application.This is my attempt at helping
him reach his goals.Other, non-financial ways to help!Besides the need for
purchasing the house, Jim and Suzanne would also appreciate:*Coupons for
Iams Lamb and Rice dog food.*An up to date desktop computer and a fairly
decent laptop computer. The laptop would be used for mobile presentations
and performances, while the desktop will go towards the home audio studio
setup. These can be gently used or previously owned devices. If you have
recently upgraded and have no need for the old equipment this is a great
solution!*Coupons for food stuffs and anything else that can keep the
household expenses at a manageable level.*Transportation alternatives.In
today's global society it is often not unheard of getting one thousand
people to donate $1,000.00 each. Being realistic we are hoping to raise no
where near that amount and in smaller increments from many more Kind and
Generous people are what we hope will be the case.If you feel comfortable
with PayPal you can send donations to hawkinnc45ATcomcast.net as
well.AGAIN, PLEASE FORWARD THIS FUNDRAISER TO ANYONE WHO YOU BELIEVE MAY
WISH TO HELP. It is planned that Jim can use the funds as leverage towards
his goals of independent living as an Internet Radio Broadcast Host, an
award winning Musician who has produced two albums, an advocate for the
disABLED and an average guy who could use a hand up with the load he is
carrying. Help him to get into a house of his own so that he can dedicate
more time pursuing his artistic endeavors free from the worry and stress of
his current living situation. Jim used his last house to finance his
relocation to his potential wife, now he is concerned about providing for
his bride during the years after he is gone. it's OK to distribute this
charitable volunteerism opportunity for inclusion in 3rd party web sites
that have been approved by craigslist,

from the North Dakota Council on the Arts.Here is a link to Jim's
Band page on MySpace:http://www.myspace.com/hawkinnc45Jim maintains
that is has been his
love of music which has helped him through the hard times. When
disability and lack of transportation kept him home bound and
dependant upon others for shopping and medical appointment trips, it
was music which filled the hours and served as a vehical for Jim to
regain proficiency and confidence,
building self esteem and gaining trust in his own abilities.In 2010
Jim sold a house he purchased for $2,500.00, invested another
$2,500.00 into, for $15,000.00 and relocated to Florida.Where a woman
he had dated back before his head injury, was living.You know where
this is headed, right? Yep, October 7th, 2011 Jim married, for the
first and last time in his life, to a woman he had known for over 25
years.All part of the ongoing rehabilitation from, and surviving of,
a serious brain injury which nearly took his life and honoring the
commitments he made to his dying mother.Because Jim has been existing
on a very low income of disability insurance, life has not been easy.
It's been hard to work on his talent and
push his craft. It's been difficult to provide the right environment
that is conducive to the creative process, in a small rent assisted
apartment.Because Jim pays his bills on time, for so many years, he
no longer has a credit rating. Which is worse then having bad credit!
A recent
application to U.S. Rural Development, for a low interest housing loan came
back as eligible, but only for $20,000.00. Property in his new state
of residence does not have suitable housing in that price range.With
that in mind Jim has also looked into alternative funding sources.
And is currently
seeking information on a S.H.I.P. Application.This is my attempt at helping
him reach his goals.Other, non-financial ways to help!Besides the
need for purchasing the house, Jim and Suzanne would also
appreciate:*Coupons for Iams Lamb and Rice dog food.*An up to date
desktop computer and a fairly decent laptop computer. The laptop
would be used for mobile presentations and performances, while the
desktop will go towards the home audio studio setup. These can be
gently used or previously owned devices. If you have recently
upgraded and have no need for the old equipment this is a great
solution!*Coupons for food stuffs and anything else that can keep the
household expenses at a manageable level.*Transportation
alternatives.In today's global society it is often not unheard of
getting one thousand people to donate $1,000.00 each. Being realistic
we are hoping to raise no where near that amount and in smaller
increments from many more Kind and Generous people are what we hope
will be the case.If you feel comfortable with PayPal you can send
donations to hawkinnc45ATcomcast.net as well.AGAIN, PLEASE FORWARD
THIS FUNDRAISER TO ANYONE WHO YOU BELIEVE MAY WISH TO HELP. It is
planned that Jim can use the funds as leverage towards his goals of
independent living as an Internet Radio Broadcast Host, an award
winning Musician who has produced two albums, an advocate for the
disABLED and an average guy who could use a hand up with the load he
is carrying. Help him to get into a house of his own so that he can
dedicate more time pursuing his artistic endeavors free from the
worry and stress of
his current living situation. Jim used his last house to finance his
relocation to his potential wife, now he is concerned about providing
for his bride during the years after he is gone. it's OK to
distribute this charitable volunteerism opportunity for inclusion in
3rd party web sites that have been approved by craigslist,

Jack, 6StringStu... same difference... just the Dr. Jekyll arguing
with the Mr. Hyde
6StringStu was the so-called "group manager" who blocked you from
participating in the Google Group socialsecuritydisability. You do

No. I thought Jack started that group, dropped out and it dissolved.

Well, then, here's a memory refresher for you...Jon.

Jack Wesolowski started that moderated group after he destroyed and
abandoned this one, and he assigned three so-called "managers" to keep out
those who they decided were trolls. One of the managers was the criminal,
self-proclaimed sociopath and control freak, James Stuart Hodges (aka Six
String Stu). 6StringStu decided that you were a troll and blocked you
because he didn't like the fact that you wanted to talk about your banjo.

Here's a link to the thread.
