Garry-

Have you sought help at any local churches? Our church has a fund for emergency situations in the community, that may be a good place to start.

You need to contact law enforcement. Now! And at this point we can't tell is this link is even going to " Gary" tread with caution. Good luck

Be cautious this isn't a scam. I didn't think yuo could start a go fund me for yourself

Garry maybe give Paul a call and he can let us know if this is really you.

Whoa, are you guys suggesting that this is not real. I will certainly help him if it is. Now you guys help me with this please.......jk

No this isn't a scam... I am just embarrassed to have to ask for assistance. I have made contact with FBI.

Garry & Paul



Garry-

Looks to me like he was hacked and the scam is now here, using him as the needy one !!

No I haven't been hacked on here this is authentic... Ask me anything you want about trapping or about the book I wrote MUSKRATS

I was trapping before most of you were born ... when there were no Conibear traps and very few people used colony traps. To catch rats you used mostly 0,1, LS, or stop-loss LS.

Charlie Dobbins and Shel Colvin were the best rappers in Ohio. Shel was my mentor when it came for fox trapping and was the Ohio State Trapper for state of Ohio.

Anything else you want to know, ask... This whole situation I am in is humiliating enough, but I see where you are coming from.

Yes, newtoga, from Zanesville I am still selling let me know when your pockets are full of the greenstuff and not moss and head this way today or tomorrow would be fine. You will need a truck and another strong back if you still want that freezer full of pelts. Haven't been able to get crap out of cellar but got the outside door loose.

Garry-

I’d be more comfortable sending to t man discretionary fund. Maybe they can tag some donations specifically for Garry somehow?

I'm sorry if this is a real deal, but having seen this a bit more close up before, it's not uncommon for people having followed or found a weak person case to present and steal info for a while and build a sorry story for free dollars !!

Y'all can do what you feel but before I commit I would ask for more pertinent proof from some one more involved !!

Ashley... I have tried to answer back you PM and it was always full this is no BS.but everyone things so fine delete it all and to (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) with. I am not used to begging and screw it

Garry-

you can start a go fund me for yourself.I have one question but don't really want to post it. Incase I am wrong.

Didnt you have a career in Law Enforcement?If so,,no pension from that?Also,I find it hard for a retired LEO to fall for a scam like this.I may be way off base ,but something dont jive to me.

I would have thought the same thing a year ago ... but my whole world and thinking changed after I had covid so bad for several weeks and was by myself the whole time. I kept asking questions that I knew the answers to, and always got the right answers. I have changed in so many ways many and physically since i had that crap... I think the high fever burned out my brains. after trapping for 78 years, I didn't have the desire or to make the effort, to trap this year. I got very old in in a little bit of time.

No on the retirement I lacked 7 months of the 10 years I needed and by the time I found out about it. the cost to buy the extra time wasn't worth it to me. I was with county, state and federal and they all didn't work of the same platform ... don't remember exactly what it was now that was 20 some years ago.

But if any of you desire to help me I am thankful, and if not well thank any how...

Garry-

For love of God. Someone surely has his phone number and address that they can reach out to Garry to verify.

I really hope someone has highjacked his account and he really wasn’t scammed. Something just doesn’t sound right.

Good Grief. I am the one that is supposed to be the conspiracy theorist here, but some of ya'll take the cake.

A fellow trapper comes on here and asks for help, and in return gets questioned about not only his sincerity, but also his grammar skills. He's already explained it is legit and posted a picture of him and Paul. Either take him for his word or shut the front door. All of us have been scammed, but this seems sincere to me. I'll be donating. Godspeed to you Garry, not all of us were born into loving homes and have individuals to care for us when in need. God be with you in this time of need. Chancey

wow, I am really sorry this happened to you.

Do you have any family (kids or grandkids) who can help?

did you contact local police?

A local church might be able to also if your community.

I am really sorry this happened to you

It definitely is Garry/Actor. He was not hacked. I just talked to him on the phone.

I was able to help him get a new heater, fixed gas lines, better insulation and assistance with his utility bills back in November of 2022. I'm going to try to find him some help with housing.

Garry has to be out of his house on 4/18/2025.

Garry is 84 and has lost most of his family and friends due to age related mortality.
