Scams Cost Local Businesses Thousands
By Allison Wilson Wilson@kArlovecmediA com
Recent scams run by two groups have cost local building supply companies thousands of dollars, according to the Geauga County Sheriff’s Office.
“We suspect one group is in the area of Gambia and the other is a Dominican group. Both groups have associates in the (United States) that are assisting them with receiving and distribution of the stolen goods,” Detective Steve Deardowski said in an email Dec. 6.
Chardon business VanBoxel Building Supply has been hit for approximately $34,000, while Middlefield businesses Troymill Wood Products and Hardwood Lumber have been hit for approximately $30,000 and $15,000, respectively.
“It definitely sucks for us, being a smaller, local business taking that big of a hit,” said VanBoxel Operations Manager Kyle Van Boxel in a Nov. 25 interview.
While there are similarities, the scams differ in several fundamental ways, according to the sheriff’s office.
“The group out of Gambia are using identities of legitimate businesses, just changing the contact numbers and setting up Net-30 trade accounts. They will then order material utilizing that account. They also have fraudulent accounts set up with shipping companies, which then deliver the material,” Deardowski said.
“The group we suspect out of the Dominican Republic is also utilizing fraudulent names. However, they are purchasing material with stolen credit cards.”
One such scam hitting VanBoxel Building Supply prompted the operations manager to contact the Geauga County Maple Leaf.
“It’s been happening more and more,” Van Boxel said. “This one is a — people are ordering materials, paying with credit cards, we ship it to ‘em and then we get notified after shipment that the credit cards were stolen.”
While the supplier can do some verification on their end, that doesn’t mean much if the scammers have the cardholder’s information, Van Boxel explained.
“It usually takes us a week or two to ship the products and when we ship products, a lot of people don’t realize 95% of our sales are out of state and they’re pretty much all semi-loaded material that we
send out,” he said.
Van Boxel said the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation and GCSO have all been working on the case. While the GCSO confirmed the involvement of DHS, officials said no federal agencies have adopted the case and the sheriff’s office is still the primary investigator.
“Unfortunately, there’s really no way for us to protect ourselves on it, other than try to hold material a little bit longer,” he said. “Instead of two weeks, we hold it a month. But, doing that, we lose sales on the other end, good customers that need material quickly are unable to get it that way.”
The sheriff’s office confirmed there has been an attempt to identify the suspects in one of the organizations, but it was not successful.

Geauga residents may apply for the WCP through Geauga County JFS by calling 440285-1299. Application for the WCP is by telephone interview only and appointments are currently being scheduled.
Ohioans can visit energyhelp.ohio.gov to apply for the HEAP program online, download a copy of the application or find contact information for a local energy assistance provider.
Individuals will need to have copies of the following documents to include with their application:
• Most recent Utility Bills,
• A list of all household members, birthdates and Social Security numbers,
• Proof of income for the past 30 days for all household members,
• Proof of Citizenship or legal residency for all household members, and

County Housing Authority subdivision of 15 houses on 1.25-acre lots.
The agent listed for Lake Avenue Land Partners LTD is Raymond Miller, of West Farmington.
Village Administrator Leslie McCoy verified via text LALP is planning a housing development for the acreage.
The ordinance was on its second reading at the Nov. 14 village council meeting and is slated for a vote by council at the next regular meeting Dec. 12.
In other business, council is also considering an increase in water and sewer rates for the next five years.
The proposed ordinance — which was on its first reading Nov. 14 — will increase sewer rates 5% in 2025 and 4% a year for the following three years. Water rates will increase 3% a year for four years starting in 2025.
The ordinance reading followed a presentation by Matt Kline, a rural development specialist for Great Lakes Community Action Partnership out of Lisbon.
He congratulated the village on their water rate program and urged council to boost next year’s sewer rates to 10%, followed by 4% increases through 2029 to maintain the system and provide some accumulation to cover future needs.
“If you only charge 5% (increase), you won’t break even until 2027 and your accumulation of escrow is going to drop a little sharper,” Kline said. “Whichever scenario
you choose, you still have very affordable rates — just keep that escrow strong.”
Mayor Ben Garlich said the increases in the ordinance will get the village to its goal by 2029.
“We realize not everyone is rolling in money,” he said. “We have an obligation to maintain our facilities. (These increases are) palatable. I think it’s a good way to do it.”
Council also took action to decrease the 2-mill police renewal levy, collecting only 1.43 mills to counteract the effect of the state-required real estate tax increases averaging 29.5% that will be taking effect in 2025. The renewal levy passed in the Nov. 5 election.
Council also applauded long-term councilman Rick Seyer on his contributions to the village over more than 30 years of service as councilman and mayor and approved:
• A contract to lease the senior center building at 15820 Ridgewood Drive to the Geauga County Department on Aging for $14,280 in 2025, increasing annually to $17,120 in 2029;
• The lot split of Berkshire Schools’ Jordak Elementary School to facilitate the auctioning of the property.

Faith Matters ‘Tis the Season
‘Tis the season… but for what? Shopping for gifts, baking cookies, listening to Christmas music, attending parties with co-workers, friends and family, decorating the home and the Christmas tree, dreaming of a white Christmas or perhaps instead, making a getaway to destinations with warmth and sunshine. Sounds pretty good. Lots to look forward to.
Of course, Christmas can also increase our stress, deepen our anxiety and depression, and stir up sad memories of loved ones we have lost. Unfortunately, that is the reality for some. All the more reason we need to dive a bit deeper to discover the real reason for the season.
He did. However, John 3:16 says it about as clear as it gets. “For God so loved the world, that He sent His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Does anyone among us care about having the assurance of everlasting life? Absolutely. What gift could be greater? Death is the inevitable and cruel fate awaiting us all. Many live in fear and dread, not knowing when that “most to be avoided” day will arrive.
By Roger Kruse
The Christmas carol tells us, “‘Tis the season to be jolly.” After all, jolly old Saint Nicholas has set the example… “Ho, ho, ho.” On second thought, maybe that wasn’t exactly the deeper meaning I had in mind.
Christmas is actually a celebration of Jesus’ birthday. God became one of us. The Maker of heaven and earth took on human flesh. Talk about a miracle … how does that happen? It is the mystery of the ages. The One who created humankind was born as a tiny baby in an obscure village in Israel. His mom and dad could not even find a decent place to stay for the night. Consequently, Jesus was born in a place meant to keep farm animals.
Out in the surrounding pastures, shepherds were doing what they always do, keeping watch over their sheep. In those days, shepherds were not highly regarded. Yet, God chose to send His angel precisely to them, to share the best news ever. This good news was for “all the people,” yes, even for you, and for me.
What ever could it be? What was it that caused a huge choir of heaven’s angels to sing the praises of God? The message was clear. A child had been born in Bethlehem and He was lying in a manger (i.e., a feeding trough). It was the Savior of the world. The one and only Son of God sent to show us the Father and destined to die on a Cross for the sins of all humanity.
Of course, that was not immediately clear. Even Jesus’ disciples later struggled to understand why the Messiah must die. It is no different today. Many among us do not grasp the significance of who Jesus is or what
Notice that God sent us a Savior because He loves us. No strings attached; it is an unconditional love like no other. You are loved by God. He did not send Jesus into the world to condemn you, rather to save you. If for some reason you choose not to be rescued, that is your decision. It will prove to be your greatest loss. However, to any and all among us who do receive Jesus, the Gift of God’s grace, we become a child of our heavenly Father. We receive the forgiveness of God that we all require. In addition, we discover a power from the indwelling Holy Spirit who imparts to us the transforming dynamic of Christ’s resurrection victory.
“Tis the season to remember, rejoice and receive the greatest Gift ever given, Jesus, the Savior of the world.
Roger Kruse understands the wonder of Christmas, because, by faith he has gratefully received the Savior that God has wonderfully provided.
