QVC Jewelry Designer Jennifer Carey on Dateline

Paul Krueger, that con man Queen Bea posted about last June, was profiled last night on Dateline. Our mystery Texas jewelry designer turns out to be Jennifer Carey.

Although she wasn't interviewed, she was briefly mentioned in the Dateline piece. In a nutshell, Jennifer met Paul on the online matchmaker site, MillionaireMatch.com. She went to Atlantic City with him, but eventually got into a fight with him about money. She hired a private investigator after he threatened her. The investigator contacted the police about the threats.

It doesn't look like Jennifer will be sticking around the Q much longer. A quick search of Jennifer Carey on QVC turns up a small page of mostly clearance items--never a good sign.

You can watch the entire Dateline piece on Paul Kruger here. Jennifer is mentioned in part four around the 2:40 mark. I used to have the video embedded, but it was taking waaaay too long to load!

Selling Your Soul for Bling

According to MilfordDailyNews.com, Charlotte A. Boehm (pictured above) "pleaded guilty yesterday to using others' medical records and credit cards to steal their identities and buy almost $100,000 in merchandise from various Web sites."

This woman was stealing information from cancer patients to buy jewelry from GemsTV and other Web sites. So not only did her victims have to deal with the hardships of cancer and the financial strains that come with that, they also had to foot her bill for bling.

Why do these con men always buy from the home shopping networks?

QVC Con Man Update!

Con man, Paul Krueger--you know the self-described Grammy-award-winning record producer mogul for Michael Jackson--has long rap sheet. This ain't his first rodeo, baby!

In December of 2006, he plead guilty to theft by deception and other charges. And in 2007 he plead guilty to indecent exposure, open lewdness, and disorderly conduct. And he's still on probation!

What a creep and a loser. Queen Bea is sooo happy and lucky that she has Mr. Queen Bea and doesn't have to try to meet men on match maker sites.

Right now Kruegar is facing felony charges including theft by deception, deceptive or fraudulent business practices and theft by unlawful taking or disposition.

I still don't know who the QVC jewelry designer from Texas is ... the first person who popped in my brain (probably because she does Southwestern style jewelry) was Carolyn Pollack, but she's married and lives in New Mexico. Some possibilities include Jennifer Carey and Elizabeth Showers. Who ever it is, my thoughts and prayers are with them. I wish them nothing but the best.

Check out their websites! Their jewelry is fabulous!

QVC Jewelry Designer Victim of Con Man!

According to the Associated Press, a homeless man "posed as a music mogul on an Internet dating site and swindled more than $100,000 from 13 women all around the country. ... 50-year-old Paul Krueger is being held without bail in Atlantic County, New Jersey. He was apprehended at a casino. ... charges include theft, deceptive or fraudulent business practices and Pennsylvania Securities Act violations. ... Krueger posed as a Grammy Award-nominated music producer but was actually homeless, his only possession a laptop computer. He told women he was starting a company to manufacture DVDs and CDs. Souderton police investigated when a woman who invested $10,000 complained to federal authorities that he had stopped returning her phone calls."

That information came out four days ago, but these details are just surfacing today:

Authorities also learned that a Texas woman who designs jewelry and appears on the cable television network QVC met Krueger through the Internet dating service and went to Atlantic City with him in July 2007.

Krueger wanted the woman to invest money with him and so she hired a private investigator to run a background check on Krueger, according to court documents. When the QVC entrepreneur discovered Krueger had a poor financial history, she ended the relationship, detectives said. However, Krueger demanded that the woman pay him for gifts he had purchased for her. When the woman refused, Krueger allegedly threatened that he would "seriously damage her personal and professional reputation," authorities wrote in the arrest affidavit.

The QVC personality was so frightened of Krueger that she asked East Whiteland police in Chester County to provide her with an escort when she made appearances on QVC in July and August of 2007, according to court documents. She asked police to escort her to and from QVC headquarters.
