I, too, fell for his act and ended up dating him for a little while during his time in Los Angeles. He just vanished one day with my credit card and several personal items. <br /><br />I believed his stories about his "daughter" and his time in the military. The scar on his head was a nice touch. He told me it was from getting shot in the head and as a result he would forget things. This story must have created a great escape route for if he managed to slip on his self created lies. What was that scar actually from? <br /><br />He has been trying to contact me for the past 2 months. I deleted all request from corrlinks as I had no idea who this person was until last night. I knew him as "Jocko" not Jeremy. An "inmate advocate" messaged me asking if he can contact me. With all the lies he has woven, I don't even believe this woman is real and not just another one of his fabrications. She claims that he wants to apologize and explain. I don't believe that he will ever change and I want no contact with this person again. As I am writing this I just got another request from corrlinks! <br /><br />Just another bit of warning, he has a facebook page were it seems that his lies are continuing. Personally, I don't believe that someone living a life intertwining a character of his creating with the real world can leave the fantasy behind for reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38461030.post-27770113054445799062010-04-28T14:14:34.627-06:002010-04-28T14:14:34.627-06:00Has everyone seen this?
Jeremy Clark-Erskine plea...Has everyone seen this?<br /><br />Jeremy Clark-Erskine pleads guilty in U.S. Federal Court<br />United States Attorney’s Office<br /> The United States Attorney’s Office announced that during a federal court session in Missoula on April 27, 2010, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah C. Lynch, JEREMY CLARK-ERSKINE, a 36-year-old resident of Missoula and Indiana, pled guilty to forgery of a signature of a United States judge, false personation of a Social Security number, interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle, and aggravated identity theft. Sentencing has been set for July 21, 2010. He is currently detained.<br /> In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Bryan R. Whittaker, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:<br /> On August 11, 2009, CLARK-ERSKINE presented himself at the Montana Motor Vehicle Division in Missoula to obtain a Montana driver’s license in the name of Angus Jocko Ferguson. On the form, CLARK-ERSKINE falsely represented a social security account number as his own which he knew belonged to another individual.<br /> The United States Attorney’s Office announced that during a federal court session in Missoula on April 27, 2010, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah C.

Sentencing has been set for July 21, 2010. He is currently detained.<br /> In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Bryan R. Whittaker, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:<br /> On August 11, 2009, CLARK-ERSKINE presented himself at the Montana Motor Vehicle Division in Missoula to obtain a Montana driver’s license in the name of Angus Jocko Ferguson. On the form, CLARK-ERSKINE falsely represented a social security account number as his own which he knew belonged to another individual.<br /> On September 6, 2009, presenting himself as a Captain in the United States Army, CLARK-ERSKINE, attempted to gain entry onto Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls. At the time, CLARK-ERSKINE was driving a vehicle which had been reported stolen by Enterprise Rent-A-Car out of Chicago, Illinois.<br /> Pursuant to a federal search warrant, law enforcement searched the car and recovered numerous fraudulent documents. Two of the documents included an “Entry” and “Judgment” purporting to be from the United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana. The documents bore a false case number and both documents contained the forged signature of the Chief Judge of the Southern District of Indiana. CLARK-ERSKINE had forged the signature on the documents for the purpose of authenticating them to use to obtain a new social security number for “Angus Jocko Ferguson” to replace the original (and now compromised) number issued to him under the name Michael Bruce Lafferty, later changed to Finn J. UiNeill in an attempt to protect his identity. <br /> From September 9, 2009, to January 6, 2010, CLARK-ERSKINE unlawfully transported from one state to another a stolen 2010 Ford Mustang. He rented the vehicle on September 9, 2009, from Hertz Rental Car in Missoula with a rental agreement contract which only covered a one-day rental. He did not return the vehicle on September 10, 2009, but instead drove it from Montana to California. On January 6, 2010, the vehicle was recovered from CLARK-ERSKINE in Culver City, California. The original Montana license plates on the vehicle had been replaced with stolen Washington state licenses plates. <br /> CLARK-ERSKINE faces possible penalties of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and at least 3 years supervised release. In addition, CLARK-ERSKINE faces an additional mandatory two year imprisonment, consecutive to any other sentence, for aggravated identity theft.<br /><br />From http://www.keci.com/pages/6916769.php?contentType=4&contentId=6006706Jannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38461030.post-28663688491076598872010-04-02T17:06:13.001-06:002010-04-02T17:06:13.001-06:00We think Erskine was attempting to post comments t...We think Erskine was attempting to post comments to this blog and sent Cuchulain emails using the identity Gary Ennis back in October.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08555751386830924915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38461030.post-25316409732017634712010-04-02T16:58:19.693-06:002010-04-02T16:58:19.693-06:00I don't personally thing Emer is Jocko.

He'll also tell you that now that he's in prison he's decided to reform himself, or that his mental illness is now under control with the proper medication, or that he's found religion. And someone will believe him, and bail him out, and it will start all over again. Just wait and see. I don't believe that the "whole story" will ever be compiled in one place.<br /><br />FYI, he pulled the same car stunt in 2007. He was found in Alberta, Canada, driving a brand new Ford Explorer with Alberta plates on it. He was found to have plates from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Wisconsin, all registered to blue Ford Explorers belonging to Hertz. When the cops ran the plates and called the rental agency to tell them they had one of their vehicles that was probably stolen, the rental agency told them that no, the car in question was in their system as having been returned to a lot in British Columbia. The tags and paperwork had been so meddled that they didn't even realize that one vehicle was completely gone.klnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38461030.post-60084430831122604372010-03-17T11:10:45.355-06:002010-03-17T11:10:45.355-06:00Note on the comment above: he's from Indiana, ...Note on the comment above: he's from Indiana, not Idaho.

I found this all out the hard way and immediately moved out. He's in FBI custody now for god knows what else he did in Washington, Indiana, and San Francisco. And I think you'll all be interesteed to know that crazy blue car was stolen from a Hertz dealership in Missoula, Montana.<br /><br />Oh.. and the truth - he was from Idaho.. that whole Scottish accent was totally bogus - brilliant, but bogus. He was never in the military. He was never a D.J. And he never worked for the BBC. <br /><br />This was my first (and hopefully, last) experience with a fraud. For what it's worth, he was always very kind and loving, and although he screwed a lot of people over, I'm trying to laugh it off as one very rare experience with a very sad, confused, disturbed man. I often think to myself, "what could have happened to cause him to make such bad decisions." I'm sure all it took was one, and from there, he had to run and change his identity.. and then again.. and then again. I've even considered writing a movie about it all. I'm still waiting for the hidden camera's to reveal themselves. <br /><br />He was good, but thankfully, not good enough. I hope he learns his lesson.<br /><br />Happily Moved On... -tjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38461030.post-91645859526597412962010-02-20T23:23:51.792-06:002010-02-20T23:23:51.792-06:00I also just want to comment to the ladies out ther...I also just want to comment to the ladies out there who got involved with J.

I met the scoundrel through OKCupid in the SF Bay Area, and we went out twice in mid-October. Same hook, line and sinker as the rest of you. I was very charmed, as well, perhaps too much, though I'm relieved to tell you he never took anything from me, other than my time and energy. He was driving an expensive 2010 electric blue mustang, as well as living in a really posh apt on the Embarcadero, though it was totally impersonal and very Bed, Bath and Beyond. <br />I got a bit down when he suddenly "moved" to LA, (obviously a necessary relocation!) but am happy to discover the sham.

I ...I dated him for about three weeks in November. I expererienced everything that has already been mentioned. He gave me a fake BBC business card, claimed to have come to L.A. from S.F. because he had landed a personal assistant/body guard job for Val Kilmer, but was "passed up for an attractive woman". He coincidentally ended up staying at the hotel I work for during Rock n' Roll fantasy camp. He kept complaining of having bank problems and his account being put on hold due to suspicious activity. <br /><br />FYI: there a few changes to his physical apperance as of November 2009... I was with him the night he had major cosmetic dental work done and the night he got a new tattoo on his forearm: some military badge if i recall and chinese characters for what he says translates to "Elf King". Was aslo with him the night he supposedly had gotten back from Washington for the Afghanistan debriefing. The uniform WAS indeed very strange but convincing with that "Abramovitch" name badge.<br />And the whole dead daughter bit got me as well. He was very charming, witty and fun to be around. When I started to suspect something was amiss, he basically blew me off. I had googled "DJ Miko" right after I met him and found a picture of someone else and could find no info about "Jocko Abramovitch" dating before November. I panicked and deleted him from facebook and the last I heard from him was a text message on Thanksgiving. <br /><br />I regret not going to the police or at least warning his roommate of my suspicions. I'm really happy to have found this blog. Also, if you google "ArthurDent2 OkCupid" you will find his Okcupid profile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38461030.post-47229550056579734772010-02-09T23:18:35.653-06:002010-02-09T23:18:35.653-06:00Found the Federal Circuit Court case he was taken ...Found the Federal Circuit Court case he was taken into custody on.<br /><br />http://www.cacd.uscourts.gov/cacd/CrimIntakeCal.NSF/b3e4628792211f8d882571ee007340ec/b587e249311f04e0882576a80074f576?OpenDocument<br /><br />Looks like the charges are <br />42:408a(7)(B) which reads with intent to deceive, falsely represents a number to be the social security account number assigned by the Commissioner of Social Security to him or to another person, when in fact such number is not the social security account number assigned by the ommissioner of Social Security to him or to such other person; max 5 years. <br />AND <br /><br />18:1028A which is identity fraud. max 15 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38461030.post-35510917007594975352010-02-09T22:59:38.129-06:002010-02-09T22:59:38.129-06:00http://www.co.missoula.mt.us/publicjailroster/

However, he was funny, witty, attractive, caring and compassionate (at the time!), and I foolishly overlooked all of the inconsistencies because I was honestly quite enamored with him- or rather, the person he claimed to be.<br /><br />I happened to be WITH Erskine when the police caught up with him. His car had gotten towed and he wanted a ride to the towing place, so I agreed. Once there, I waited outside while he went to go sort everything out. Police showed up and I was put into handcuffs and interrogated for a good half hour. It was my first encounter EVER with the police and I was terrified out of my wits, but the police understood that I was completely innocent and let me go. He attempted to contact me through various means but I chose not to respond to anything that he tried to send me.<br /><br />I was shocked, afraid, mindblown, and honestly a little heartbroken. I had truly felt I had been able to make a connection with this man even after the short time we had been together, and learning that EVERY LAST BIT had been a complete lie was very hard to deal with.<br /><br />After the whole ordeal I kept hearing new information about him and the crimes he had committed over the years and I felt stupider and stupider for falling into his trap- looking back on it it should have been obvious! But now it is evident to me that I am NOT the only person to have been suckered into his fantastical yet compelling story.<br /><br />Erskine is a classic case of a sociopath- he lied to, used, and manipulated people VERY well and was able to blend in perfectly with the rest of society. I'm posting here to offer some support to any other women that may have fallen victim to him. You are not foolish or stupid or anything- and you are certainly NOT alone! <br /><br />I hope that he gets what he deserves, and I REALLY hope that I never hear from him again!<br /><br />I apologize for having to remain anonymous, but I don't really feel comfortable with posting any of my information. Hopefully this helps some people. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38461030.post-55225944621565383812010-02-03T01:54:50.928-06:002010-02-03T01:54:50.928-06:00He DJ'ed (or pretended to) for a party I did. ...He DJ'ed (or pretended to) for a party I did.

There is DVD footage of this: everybody who attended the camp will have been sent a copy of the whole gig.<br /><br />The rest of the time he banged a tambourine. His band mentor was Bruce Kulick from Kiss. Kulick even made a speech to the crowd about what a tough week "Angus" had with being called away for military service one day (the debrief/Seattle story) which goes to show how convincing he was.<br /><br />He claimed that he could play bass.
