In this day and age the world is at our fingertips. At work, at home, even on our cellphones we are never far from the World Wide Web. When I was first asked to be a part of what I later found out was the All Freight Logistics scam, I got involved based on trust of my friends. MOSTLY on trust. That’s not to say I didn’t google my ass off as well. I googled Glyn Richards, Glen Richards, Glenn Richards, Glynn Richards, Glennifer Richards, in a addition to a host of “All Freight Logistics” combinations. I was skeptical … ONE bad result on Google would have saved me thousands.
What I found was nothing.
Just like his King’s Highway Audubon office had no signage of any sort, Glyn Richards, (our Glyn Richards) had no “webprint” so to speak of either. (I did find Glyn Richards the author.) I later found out that HAD I googled Garden State Brokerage and Glyn Richards together, I’d have gotten a very helpful freight forwarder board called “ALLEGED CROOKED BROKERS.” (And Mr. Richards is mentioned on that board. Shocked?!?) But with just googling his name, that result was buried 100’s of pages in.
The goal of this blog is threefold. It is part therapy for those that have been victimized, part a place to share information, and lastly, and maybe most important, it’s a warning. A warning that frauds exists in general, and a warning that ours, in particular exists. Glyn Richards will go to jail someday, but for now he is free and may seek new “investors”. If other “investors” are approached, I hope they take 2 seconds to Google “glyn richards.”
This blog will be there waiting for them on the first page of results. (Currently number 2 over all.) Give it a try!

I am writing this blog not to make you feel bad for me but for the purpose of sharing my story with all of you as I really need a shoulder to cry on right now.
I met Glyn back in 2000. I was a manager at my current employer and one of my tasks was managing all of our freight. One afternoon, I got a fax flyer from his company at the time, Garden State Brokerage, Inc. I needed a quote for a shipment and Glyn gave me the best price. He did the delivery for me and from there, he became my exclusive carrier. Going forward, we became good friends, close enough that I met all of his family, attended Christmas parties at his house in Barrington, birthday parties, he came to my wedding in ’02, heck, he even took me to the Super Bowl in ’03! My wife and his got along real well and we had good times together, real good. He would even Read the rest of this entry »

I successfully completed Glyn’s Term of $25,000 in, $36,000 out, once…
Checks deposited, everything was good. So I took my initial $25k and reinvested. At this point I told my ister and father about the deal. My father didn’t have a good feeling bout it, so he stayed out, however my sister had just received some money from some land that she sold. This was the first time my sister had come across a significant amount of money. About $33,000 total. She was more than excited to do this.
My sister has recently been diagnosed with Multiple Read the rest of this entry »

Happy Birthday Glyn Richards!! Today Glyn turns 44. He shares the same birth date as Whitney Houston, and will likely spend his b-day in a similar fashion as Whitney — laying low and hoping that the activities of the last few years don’t land them in jail. (I think Whitney will be OK…GR, not so much.)
Speaking of which, we at the scam blog wanted to do something special for the birthday. So, I Read the rest of this entry »

Below is an actual email exchange that was sent in to me anonymously. I have no way to validate that it’s true, or prove it’s validity in a blog, but I know it is real. ANY of you that have dealt with Glyn Richards will immediately recognize the rhetoric. I republish it here because this is a classic example of what we fell for hook, line and sinker. Not only did we think it was real, I think Glyn did too, which is just flat our scary. That is why I am happy those around him are safe, because Glyn is truly a delusional mind… Read the rest of this entry »
