Will The Real Nathan Bennet & Nathan Smith Please Stand Up

Last year we featured a loser calling himself Nathan Bennet. Since being outed he has assumed a new loser name, Nathan Smith. We suspect however that this scammers real name is Penny Gutridge from Heath, OH.

Name: Nathan Smith (aka Nathan Bennett)
EMail: love.bennett02@gmail.com, love.bennett07@gmail.com

Real Name: Penny Gutridge
Address: Heath, Ohio 43056

I believe Penny is now using David Moore. email soul.rock44@gmail.com. Not one of the brighter scam artists of our time, but I am sure she has taken a few people. I even got her to go so far as to send me a cashiers check that was phony. Nice try Penny...

Penny is now using this name and email: Dan Miles - damiles22@googlemail.com She almost got us! Sent us a fake money order too, but luckily we are honest and only tried to follow her instructions and cash it and not deposit it. Our bank told us that they couldn't outright cash it. Wish I would have googled her earlier!

Is there any legal action that can be taken against this person? It's so weird, the money order was sent from Tempe, AZ, so it leads me to believe that the actual scammer is there.

His/her email is now damiles55@googlemail.com. Has offered $30 extra to buy all my items without seeing photos. It was suspect from the start. You are right, a scam artist, but a bad one.
