EXTRA EXTRA -- Some Exciting News and Some Bad News

First, the bad news.....Steve is no longer being held in custody. An Administrative glitch in Blue Ridge, Georgia, allowed him to make bail shortly after being extradited from Shelby County, Alabama. This happened a couple of weeks ago.

Now for the exciting news.....Someone from a national publication with over 700,000 subscribers has expressed a real interest in running a story about Steve, complete with pictures. Steve might be working under an assumed name but now people will be able to see his picture and read all about his "contracting" scams.

Same Con Game, Different Con Name

It occurred to me that since there hasn't been any activity/updates on Ripoff Reports or this blog that Steve may be using different names so the searches are failing. Some possible names he could be using are Steven Pannell, Dean Panel, Dean Pannel, Dean Panell, Steve Panell, or even Deon. He is also using his wife's maiden name as an alias - Steve Coffey or Dean Coffey. I've heard that Kevin Foster was working out of North Carolina, so chances are Steve was there too. If you have been approached by a person with any of the aforementioned names, do not give him any money. You can contact tiffanyseltzer@comcast.net with any information you have regarding the con-artist legally known as Steve Pannell.

Mother's : Use extreme caution when dealing with Steve Pannell !!!

This is a direct statement provided by one of Steve's nieces. This can also be viewed on RipOff Report as an update to a previous post.

Steve is in JAIL

Well it has finally happened....Steve WAS arrested in Shelby County Alabama today. We are not exactly sure of the next steps or if bail will be offered but we think that he will be extradited to either Georgia or Tennessee.

The following link "Shelby County inmates" will let you search by name and see his status.
