Landlords Beware of Roseanne Pahnka

Please pardon the lack of any nice formatting on this page… It’s pure business, and I don’t want to spend any more time on it than necessary.

If you are reading this, most likely it is because you did a web search for “Roseanne Pahnka”. Maybe you are a landlord of a rental property, an apartment manager, or a creditor performing a little due diligence before doing business with Roseanne Pahnka. If so, you are in the right place.

Her birth date is in 1971. Her SSN ends in “9”. On her application she lists her mom living in Natchez Mississippi as her emergency contact. If all that matches we’re surely talking about the same person.

In October 2016 I leased out my home because I wanted to travel some while living inexpensively as I attempted to continue building my web business. I just couldn’t do all that leaving the house empty, so I leased it out.

Roseanne Pahnka was the first applicant. In person she is very convincing. She was (probably still is) a registered nurse. She came to view my house straight from work driving her 2010 Audi Q5 SUV and wearing nursing scrubs. She had the look of a highly responsible, hard-working professional.

Well, after she defaulted on my lease, trashed my house, FAKED HER OWN DEATH (details and proof below) in hopes that I would not seek eviction or back rent, I feel compelled to do my little part to help spare others from similar misfortune.

And since I don’t want to go through the trouble of learning how to get these events officially on her credit record, and since I know I won’t see a dime of what she owes me, I decided to put up this web page telling the story.

We can start with her credit rating. She has none – so she says. She says this is the case because she was married to a very wealthy man who had all accounts in his name, so when she got divorced her credit history was like that of someone who just landed on earth yesterday!

I actually know someone for whom that was a true story, so it was believable.

The “story” starts from the very beginning. I feel so foolish for not noticing the wierd circumstances from the beginning.

She was the first person to respond to the ad for my house. She came out after work, looked at it, and was immediately interested. She took the application to fill out at home and then email back to me (a scanned copy). Well, that application never made it. After a few days I called her to ask about it and she said she had tried to send it, but that “the email didn’t go through”.

By the way, if you do business with her get used to hearing things like that! “I tried to email you”, “I made the rent deposit… you don’t see it?”, “There was a problem at the bank”, etc., etc., etc. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

After a few days I assumed she just wasn’t interested and was too nice to just say “No”, so I just moved on and forgot about her.

Then maybe a week later I got a text asking the status of her application. I let her know I hadn’t received it.

So, seeing that she wasn’t competent with email I asked if if she wanted to just bring a hard copy of the completed application to the house. She agreed. I let her know that the day she was planning to bring it that I would be out from 3PM till late, but that if she came while I was out she could just leave the application by my back door.

I came home that night and there was no application by the back door, front door, neighbors’ doors, or anywhere else. I didn’t know what to think, so I just again assumed she wasn’t interested and forgot about her.

Then again, maybe a week later, I received a text message from Roseanne asking the status of her app!

I told her I hadn’t received it. She assured me she left it at the FRONT DOOR between the screen door and wood door. I told her it wasn’t there, or anywhere I could find. She said that she would try again to email it.

But she expressed NO ALARM that a four-page application with her SSN, birth date, references, work places, income amounts, etc., was LOST. Wouldn’t you freak out if that happened to you?

It seems quite certain that she didn’t even come by. I’m not even sure why she would lie about that.

Well, extrapolate that kind of thing out a thousandfold and that’s what actually renting to her is like.

Not even ONE TIME did she pay rent on time. Initially it was usually only a few days late, not even into the late-fee period, so I didn’t lose sleep over it. But she just could not make rent on time if her life depended on it.

And the explanations were always head-scratchers.

I had set up a checking account solely for her to deposit rent into. I can always check real-time figures in that account online or with a mobile app. When a deposit is made it IMMEDIATELY shows up. The funds may not be available immediately, but an electronic record of the event is always immediately available.

Rent was due on midnight of the first of each month. When it wasn’t there on time (which it never was) I would text her. You’ll see this in the text message history I post below, but she would say things like “Yes, I’m not seeing a record of it in my account either… I will check with my bank… not sure what happened…”

OF COURSE she didn’t see a record in her bank yet. She makes an in-person counter deposit at my bank and it will take at least 2-3 days for that to get back to her bank.

OK, but this is the SMALL STUFF.

In mid-February 2017 she informed me that her workplace had a layoff and since she was the last hired, she was the first fired. She said she was looking for a new job, but that March rent would definitely be late.

Well, it’s a fairly well known fact that in the Dallas/Fort Worth area nursing is a GOOD PROFESSION. Nurses aren’t ever out of work very long. So I figured it was worth it to not evict her. Evicting is costly anyway, plus I would almost certainly miss out on at least a month of rent.

I was managing this rental from EUROPE, so if I did evict and got another renter in there, it would be through a professional property manager who would charge me 75% of the first month of rent collected for the service of finding a renter and getting him/her/them under lease.

Sure enough, though, Roseanne got another job in just a few weeks. She provided me with a catch-up schedule based on the pay schedule at her new job. She would pay March rent by the end of March, April rent by April 14, and May and following on time.

I never saw another dime. But I did hear MANY colorful excuses and entertaining stories…

Instead of describing it here, let me paste the text message history below and interject a little commentary along the way. I use Google Voice which gives me the ability to fairly easily download the entire text message history to/from any given phone.

NOTES:

* After December 1, 2016 all time stamps are Eastern European time zones (7-9 hours ahead of Dallas, depending on the exact date).

* In all messages below all texts marked as “Cindy” or “Roseanne” are from the same number, the main number Roseanne used all along. Later in the dialog someone identifying herself as “Cindy”, supposedly Roseanne’s sister, was texting from the same number. I don’t know for certain that this “Cindy” really exists. It could just be Roseanne’s alter ego.

* The text data below is downloaded directly from Google Voice. It is unedited other than the removal of irrelevant parts. Even typos are left intact.

Without further delay…

Less than a week after Roseanne Pahnka moved into my house a neighbor called me about her having FOUR dogs (TWO are listed in her application and specified on the lease), and that they were getting into that neighbor’s yard. The following exchange is about that.

2016-10-23 21:25:14 Roseanne Hey let me call you after while. I have had a serious stomach virus for 3 days.

OK, people get viruses, but experience from 6 more months with her makes me now wonder why she really so rarely ever wanted to have a voice call? Seriously, why can’t she just answer the phone?

2016-10-23 21:27:24 Bob Ok, but I need to come into back yard to see a problem with fence. Is it locked?
2016-10-23 21:27:56 Roseanne The gate is not locked no..what is wrong with the fence?
2016-10-23 21:28:52 Bob I understand that your dogs are getting under the fence into neighbor’s yard
2016-10-23 21:29:45 Roseanne Minja went under a hole but I covered it up. Him and shenzi have been running around the back yard all weekend but this morning was the first time they found a hole.
2016-10-23 21:30:49 Roseanne I just put two bricks in front of it.
2016-10-23 21:31:17 Bob Ok, are there any other dogs?
2016-10-23 21:31:39 Roseanne Just my two. They sound like a million.

And it begins… Yeah, the evidence reported by neighbors says there are four dogs, Roseanne admits they SOUND like a million, but it’s only two… Don’t believe your lying eyes/ears!

2016-10-23 21:31:48 Bob Ok
2016-10-23 21:32:05 Roseanne There are two strays that have been in the alley. But I called the city about them friday.
2016-10-23 21:32:45 Roseanne I don’t want any dogs around that could possibly get my two sick with something.
2016-10-23 21:34:54 Bob Ok thanks for letting me know
2016-10-23 21:35:03 Roseanne Yep

First rent due after move-in… AND LET THE DRAMA BEGIN… Rent was due on 10/28 for 10/28 through 11/30.

2016-10-29 01:44:00 Bob Hi Roe, are you going to try the direct bank transfer for the rent due today? Today $1975.81 is due for the last 4 days of Oct plus all Nov. (as we discussed and wrote in lease)
2016-10-29 01:57:00 Roseanne ???
2016-10-29 02:01:23 Roseanne I receiced a text from you but I am thinking it was only part of a text..it just says (as we discussed and wrote in lease).
2016-10-29 02:11:27 Roseanne I will look at bank online to see if it did go through. If not they said it can take up to 4 weeks. But to check online starting today. If it did not go through can I put a check into your account?
2016-10-29 02:45:29 Roseanne Hey, will call you back..I am on the phone with customer support with the bank
2016-10-29 02:45:40 Bob OK
2016-10-29 06:09:27 Bob Here is the message you didn’t get…
2016-10-29 06:09:31 Bob Hi Roe, are you going to try the direct bank transfer for the rent due today? Today $1975.81 is due for the last 4 days of Oct plus all Nov.
2016-10-29 06:10:24 Bob What part takes 4 weeks? Can you do an immediate transfer now? You said you did that to send money to your son…
2016-10-29 06:31:30 Roseanne I am going to deposit into the bank in the morning
2016-10-29 06:32:11 Bob OK, so the immediate online transfer won’t work (like you do with your son)?
2016-10-29 06:33:03 Bob Let me know if you need anything from me to make the deposit in the morning.
2016-10-29 06:36:22 Roseanne No. For some reason the amount makes it take longer to set up. If it was less than a 1000 it would not be difficult. I personally don’t think this guy knew what he was talking about.

Ah yes, it’s one of those banks that doesn’t let customers pay people from the account.

2016-10-29 06:37:48 Bob But when you say “set up”, you’re talking about some kind of ongoing payments, right?
2016-10-29 07:09:32 Roseanne Not the way he described it. He said regions has changed their policy regarding bill payments online and money transfers.
2016-10-29 07:10:02 Roseanne I tried to tell him this was just depositing funds into another bank account.
2016-10-29 07:10:09 Roseanne Very frustrating..
2016-10-29 07:10:15 Roseanne Is your bank open on saturday?
2016-10-29 07:12:27 Roseanne Or I can just write you a check and I can leave it in the mailbox tomorrow morning and you can pick it up that way. I won’t be home for most of tomorrow.

But RENT IS DUE… Not paying because “I won’t be home for most of tomorrow” isn’t a legitimate option!

2016-10-29 07:13:24 Bob My bank is open Saturday 9am to 1pm
2016-10-29 07:13:56 Bob 440 E Round Grove Rd, Lewisville, TX 75067 (Open Saturdays 9am-1pm)   
2016-10-29 07:14:09 Bob 740 North Denton Tap Road, Coppell, TX 75019 (Open Saturdays 8am-1pm)   
2016-10-29 07:15:00 Bob Both are 5 min from the house
2016-10-29 07:15:44 Bob I would prefer that you make the deposit… Mostly because that’s how it may have to be after this payment when I’m not here in the area
2016-10-29 07:15:55 Bob Can you do that?
2016-10-29 07:18:38 Roseanne No problem. I will be there early to deposit
2016-10-29 07:19:06 Bob The Denton Tapp branch opens at 8am, Round Grove at 9am
2016-10-29 07:19:47 Bob If there’s any problem let me know. You do have the routing and acct number?
2016-10-29 07:39:31 Roseanne Yep
2016-10-29 18:33:05 Bob Hi Roe, I don’t see any activity on my account. Are u having any problems making the deposit?
2016-10-29 19:23:56 Roseanne Bob, please send me your banking information again. What I have in my phone is not correct (typo on my part).
2016-10-29 19:34:14 Roseanne I pulled around to the back of the bank.
2016-10-29 19:36:26 Bob GI’m inside
2016-10-29 19:38:11 Bob 440 east round Grove rd, Lewisville tx
2016-10-29 19:38:27 Bob Is that where u are?
2016-10-29 19:39:51 Roseanne Yes
2016-10-29 19:39:59 Roseanne Wells Fargo right?
2016-10-29 19:40:58 Bob Bank of america
2016-10-29 19:41:09 Bob 100 yards east
2016-10-29 19:41:15 Roseanne Oh shit. Okay that may be part of the problem

OK, she actually DID show up 30 seconds later, so she really was at the wrong bank 100 yards away… So, stupid? Incompetent? Jinxed? All of the above?

Ah, here are more stories about the “extra dogs” fiasco…

2016-11-26 22:37:21 Roseanne Oh man, never believe what I just did. I put an old collar of minja on the dog that jumped the fence with a note taped to it telling the owner that their dog is getting out and coming into my yard and spending the day. We shall see if that makes a difference. Even put my name and number on it.
2016-11-26 23:48:12 Bob Good idea. And later today I’ll send invite to nextdoor.com
2016-11-26 23:49:12 Roseanne Okay thank you. Hopefully they are not strays from someone leaving them. But if they are my momma said she will take them.

But according to application, “momma” lives in Natchez Mississippi… Is she just visiting?

2016-11-29 18:41:46 Bob Hi Roe, I need to get into my shed this afternoon. I will text before I come
2016-11-29 19:03:00 Roseanne Okay, my mom and dad are in and out today. They may be there. I have chicken poxs they think so I am at the doctor trying to be evaluated. Uughh

Oh, more medical drama….

AND, now the monthly rent drama…

2016-12-02 11:35:41 Bob Hi Roe, I don’t see a record of a deposit for rent payment. Can you please take care of that today before bank closes today?
2016-12-03 02:50:22 Bob Hi Roe, what’s happening (with rent)?
2016-12-03 02:52:56 Roseanne Rent check will be deposited in the morning. Have been on quarantine since Monday with chickenpoxs. I am allowed out in the am. Mom tried to deposit it on Thursday but apparently did not have the right information to do so. I know bank is open in the morning at 0900
2016-12-03 02:56:09 Bob OK, thanks… Hope you’re better soon!
2016-12-03 02:56:43 Roseanne Thank you. I appreciate it. Hopefully I never have anything like this again.

AND, monthly rent drama right on schedule… It NEVER just shows up on time, and would never show up at any time without my participation…

2017-01-03 01:03:40 Bob Hi Roe, Happy new year!
2017-01-03 02:09:28 Bob I am hoping to see a rent deposit in my bank before it closes today… Is that realistic?
2017-01-03 02:18:12 Bob Or is Monday a bank holiday? I guess that’s possible since only yesterday was NY.
2017-01-03 02:20:37 Bob Never mind…. I just looked… Closed today.
2017-01-03 02:22:51 Roseanne Bob just seeing this. Yes welcome to holiday banking. It sucks. Paid late friday, banks closed early Saturday apparently according to the teller who was leaving parking lot, no banks open today. Will deposit before noon tomorrow
2017-01-03 02:24:42 Bob OK, thanks! And I think all major corporate offices would take off the 2nd since NY was on a Sunday.
2017-01-03 02:25:10 Roseanne Yes it seems that way
2017-01-04 22:25:07 Bob Hi Roe, did you make it to the bank yesterday as you planned? I ask because I don’t see any activity in my account.
2017-01-04 23:40:26 Roseanne I have to go back today as soon as I am off from work. I have not seen it come through my bank and called them this morning. I have to be there to find out if it went through or what happened to the check itself..funds are there, my bank says everything is good with my account just no deposit showing
2017-01-04 23:41:02 Bob So you tried electronic transfer?
2017-01-04 23:45:50 Roseanne No, I deposited it yesterday. But nothing came through. And it shows up that evening usually.
2017-01-04 23:46:47 Bob It makes me worry about the account number or something… Usually when you make a deposit it shows up instantly as “Pending” (or something like that).
2017-01-04 23:47:28 Roseanne Yep. I am going by there today as soon as I get off from work
2017-01-04 23:47:49 Bob Thanks
2017-01-04 23:48:13 Roseanne No problem.

Our arrangement was that she deposits money directly in to a checking account I set up for the house. The instant a counter transaction occurs, it shows up in my online records. She could deposit a blank sheet of paper into my account and it would show up immediately. She would never need to check her account to see why it “didn’t go through” (a favorite phrase of hers)

AND, again, rent drama!

2017-02-03 01:08:06 Bob Hi Roe
2017-02-03 01:08:45 Bob Is everything going OK?
2017-02-03 01:09:36 Bob I wanted to mention two things: (1) Rent is due. Can you make the deposit today or tomorrow?
2017-02-03 01:11:23 Bob (2) Per the lease you need to change the AC/Heat filter every 3 months. I sent you pictures back before you moved in (or shortly after) showing you where the unit is, where the box of new filters are, etc. It’s time for that change now (it’s actually been 4 months since last change).
2017-02-03 01:12:40 Bob NOTE: That hallway attic door is tricky. I think I showed you. It is very easy to accidentally let the ladder slam into that archway.
2017-02-03 01:24:07 Roseanne I thought I had sent you a text about posting check tomorrow. If I did not i apologize. But yes, rent will be posted tomorrow if not this evening.
2017-02-03 01:24:18 Roseanne As far as everything else. Yes things are good.
2017-02-03 01:25:22 Roseanne Changing out the filter occurred in December since I have to take advantage of family being here to help me do that.
2017-02-04 20:45:17 Bob Hi Roe, is there some problem with the deposit? There is still no record of it in my account…
2017-02-04 20:46:17 Roseanne I was just looking at that. And wondering why it is not showing up.
2017-02-04 20:46:58 Roseanne Trying to balance my checkbook and it is not showing up on the main site.
2017-02-04 20:47:00 Bob OK, but when you physically go to my bank and make a deposit, it won’t show up in your bank for a few days, but it shows in mine immediately
2017-02-04 20:48:11 Bob It doesn’t actually show that I have money transferred yet, but it shows that a deposit was physically made and is pending
2017-02-04 20:48:37 Roseanne I am going to get ready and go over there. I have the receipt somewhere..mine shows up the next day usually
2017-02-04 20:48:46 Bob OK
2017-02-07 01:08:41 Bob Hi Roe, Please call me ASAP.
2017-02-07 01:29:05 Roseanne Bob, I am at my bank right now trying to figure out why my check is not there. Talking to manager now. Will have to call you back.

She almost NEVER will speak on phone

2017-02-07 01:29:18 Roseanne Are you available by text right now?
2017-02-07 01:29:47 Roseanne The manager wants to know if you have ever had difficulty with this account before?
2017-02-07 01:30:01 Bob No previous trouble
2017-02-07 01:30:19 Roseanne He says, that every time I deposit a check into this account a red flag is raised
2017-02-07 01:30:22 Roseanne At my bank
2017-02-07 01:30:37 Roseanne Like an alert
2017-02-07 01:30:44 Bob Why at YOUR bank? You need to deposit at Bank of America
2017-02-07 01:30:53 Roseanne I told him this is not the first time I have had problems
2017-02-07 01:31:05 Roseanne My check is off of regions. [Regions Bank]
2017-02-07 01:31:15 Bob Yes, but the first time you had problem was because you were trying to deposit at Regions.
2017-02-07 01:31:38 Bob You need to write a check to ME, and then go deposit it at Bank of America, NOT Regions
2017-02-07 01:31:39 Roseanne I deposit st your bank however every time I do he says it keeps sending up an alert
2017-02-07 01:32:11 Bob You are probably not entering the right information on the deposit slip
2017-02-07 01:32:22 Roseanne I am not depositing at regions I am depositing at bank of America. But the deposits keep showing up a red alert
2017-02-07 01:32:39 Roseanne I am printing off the ones you sent me
2017-02-07 01:33:01 Bob A work-around would be to just get cash from your bank and deposit at my bank
2017-02-07 01:33:22 Bob This is an error of your bank.
2017-02-07 01:33:36 Roseanne Let me get done here and I wll text you back
2017-02-07 01:33:52 Bob It’s really simple… You have a checking account with them, you write someone a check, that someone deposits the check, your bank honors it!
2017-02-07 01:34:00 Bob I’ll talk to the manager there if you want
2017-02-07 01:34:44 Roseanne I am tired of dealing with these jackasses. It is a regions thing and them not wanting to do business with bank of America

OH, yes, I’ve heard about that, how some banks don’t want to do business with other banks… Sheesh, why didn’t I think of that?!

2017-02-07 01:34:59 Roseanne I swear that is it
2017-02-07 01:35:03 Bob I don’t get “red flag”…
2017-02-07 01:35:18 Bob Can you just go to their counter and get 1750 cash?
2017-02-07 01:35:27 Bob And walk it over to BOA?
2017-02-07 01:35:33 Roseanne I do not either.
2017-02-07 01:35:54 Bob Is that a typo? I don’t understand “I do not either”
2017-02-07 01:36:03 Bob OH, about “I don’t get red flag”
2017-02-07 01:36:20 Bob Can you just draw cash from your account?
2017-02-07 01:36:47 Roseanne Bob, let me get done with this. He is printing out paperwork for me to sign about me depositing check each month to your bank. Is this a texas thing? I have never had to deal with this kind of problem before.
2017-02-07 01:37:09 Roseanne Bob, I cannot draw cash out due to my check is still out there somewhere.
2017-02-07 01:37:15 Bob OK, just make sure you get me a deposit today!
2017-02-07 01:37:22 Roseanne Give me a few. Let me take care of this paper work
2017-02-07 01:37:25 Bob You can cancel the check
2017-02-07 02:58:07 Bob Are you finished with the paperwork? Can you talk a minute?
2017-02-07 03:03:14 Roseanne Bob, I am leaving my bank now. I have cleared up what I hope is the problem. And will be putting the check into your account in the morning. I now have a doctor’s appointment I am late for. But as of this coming month my check will go in automatically they said without hassle. Because this is ridiculous.
2017-02-07 03:04:17 Roseanne My banks home base is where my mom lives in mississippi. And since I have been writing checks and depositing them here a red flag would automatically come up.
2017-02-07 03:04:56 Roseanne The bank wanted to ensure that I was who I said I was. And that nothing wrong had happened to me.

Right!

2017-02-07 03:05:42 Roseanne I also think this again comes down to the paranoia in this country. Because I had to talk to a company who delivers my groceries to let them know yes I placed the order
2017-02-07 03:07:46 Bob I will look for the deposit tomorrow. I still want to talk when you get a chance (not now) to understand this. I assume that you weren’t walking into BOA with check made out to me and a deposit slip…. In that case your bank wouldn’t even know if your transaction at BOA until at least a day or two later and would have nothing to say about rejecting it, and BOA would at least show me a pending transaction (that a counter transaction took place, but that the funds are still pending)
2017-02-07 03:08:03 Bob I’m sure I’m just missing something, and a few minutes on the phone would clear it up
2017-02-07 03:08:46 Roseanne Bank of america took my check and held it. Returned it to regions as they requested
2017-02-07 03:09:13 Roseanne Yes I walked into your bank like I always do and deposited it. And this is where they held it.
2017-02-07 03:09:48 Bob “held it”? They would take the deposit and record it, and put it in a pile of deposited checks…
2017-02-07 03:10:09 Roseanne No they did not. They held it.
2017-02-07 03:10:27 Roseanne Did not say anything to me..but notified my bank
2017-02-07 03:12:46 Bob There’s something strange about that… You have made deposits before that went through.
2017-02-07 03:13:26 Bob What time tomorrow do you plan to deposit? I ask because maybe I can try to call them first to help make sure nothing weird happens.
2017-02-07 03:13:51 Bob Especially if you can go to the branch on Denton Tapp Rd by the Market Street.
2017-02-07 03:14:14 Roseanne It will be deposited by 330 tomorrow. But I am hoping in the morning.
2017-02-07 03:15:25 Bob One of the account managers at the Denton Tapp branch (Tobey, a Nigerian man) remembers me.
2017-02-07 03:16:02 Roseanne Have never seen him before. I usually deal with an Hispanic man, youngish
2017-02-07 03:16:37 Bob At this one:
2017-02-07 03:16:38 Bob 740 N Denton Tap Rd, Coppell, TX 75019
2017-02-07 03:16:57 Bob Tobey isn’t a teller
2017-02-07 03:17:13 Roseanne Okay no. The one I go to is the one you and I met at
2017-02-07 03:17:42 Bob OK, but no one at that branch knows me well enough for me to talk to them by phone and get a little help
2017-02-07 03:17:50 Bob Tobey’s cool 🙂
2017-02-07 03:18:11 Roseanne Okay if there are any more problems I am changing banks to boa
2017-02-07 03:19:00 Bob But tomorrow will you go to the Denton Tapp branch?
2017-02-07 03:19:25 Bob I can call Tobey first thing (afternoon for me) and alert him to some of our troubles
2017-02-07 03:19:42 Bob Then if you have a problem there you can look for him and he’ll know the situation
2017-02-07 03:19:50 Bob If they try to “hold your check”
2017-02-07 03:22:37 Bob But please let me know if you are going to the Denton Tapp branch… If you’re in the Dr office now, no hurry. I’m going to bed. But if you tell me you’re going to Denton Tapp I will call them.
2017-02-07 19:15:24 Bob I spoke to Toby XXXXXXX at the Denton Tap branch of BOA (at 740 N Denton Tap Rd, Coppell, TX 75019). I caught him up on your problem, so if you go to that branch to make the deposit and have a problem ask for Toby. He is an account person, not a teller.
2017-02-07 19:19:25 Roseanne Thank you..I am at work and cannot talk. But will be there to make deposit before 330
2017-02-08 05:04:24 Roseanne Did you receive the deposit?
2017-02-08 05:06:12 Bob Yes! Well, it still says “Processing”, but there is a “Teller Transaction”. It means the check hasn’t gone back to your bank yet, but it shows the activity at BOA.
2017-02-08 05:06:18 Bob Thanks
2017-02-08 05:06:49 Roseanne Yay!!
2017-02-08 05:06:56 Roseanne Okay. Step one done.
2017-02-08 05:07:08 Roseanne I have gone around and around with my bank.
2017-02-08 05:07:17 Bob ????

NOTE that every time this crap happens, when I later look at the scanned images of the deposit slips and checks, it’s all hand-written with Feb 7 as the date… All this lunacy from the 3rd through 7th was just a show! Is she really this stupid? My bank people say that when someone comes in and makes a deposit, they take the slip and the check and deposit it. They NEVER “hold it” because a “flag is sent up”.

OK, starting now it gets more interesting, but let’s pause and do a little high-level analysis here. You see how I say “I’m sure I’m just missing something, and a few minutes on the phone would clear it up”? I ALWAYS felt like that. I felt like she was being honest, but either misunderstanding something or miscommunicating. But it was hard to imagine how someone could be so ridiculously lacking in basic skills of managing adult life. A day late now and then with a simple, “Sorry, I just didn’t make it to the bank on time” is one thing, but EVERY MONTH there are these wild stories that seriously just don’t add up!

Like “It is a Regions Bank thing and them not wanting to do business with bank of America”!

The Layoff

2017-02-17 20:12:45 Roseanne Bob, we have had a layoff at work. Since I was the last hired of course I was one of the layoffs. I am looking for a job today. But rent will be late. Mainly because they decided not to pay us either. I don’t know what is going on. But I will get the rent to you as soon as I
2017-02-17 20:12:51 Roseanne Have funds coming in.
2017-02-17 20:13:20 Roseanne The check they paid bounced.

OK, so, “they decided not to pay us” AND “The check they paid bounced”? Or is that “OR”? Cuz a company bouncing a paycheck is actually a criminal matter, and “they decided not to pay us” is a civil legal matter. Come on, really? Sorry, but that’s fishy. But, given that in the past although she’s said fishy things, ultimately I always got paid.

2017-02-17 20:41:41 Bob I’m out right now. I will call you later or tomorrow to discuss
2017-02-19 18:44:10 Bob I tried to call you, Saturday morning and Sunday morning, but I’m not getting an answer. When can we have voice call?
2017-02-19 18:45:14 Roseanne Bob my phone speaker is not working. So until I can get a replacement you will have to text me
2017-02-19 18:45:36 Bob You don’t have any phone that works?
2017-02-19 18:45:57 Roseanne If I did, I would be using it

“my phone speaker is not working”? PLEASE!!! See what I mean about NEVER wanting a voice call? What is she hiding?

2017-02-19 18:47:27 Bob And what is your expectation for a realistic date by which I can expect payment?
2017-02-19 18:48:15 Roseanne Bob, I am looking for a job now. As soon as I learn I am hired I will immediately notify you.
2017-02-24 23:35:14 Roseanne I have a job interview monday. Just letting you know.
2017-02-25 00:02:27 Bob Thanks for letting me know. Good luck!
2017-02-25 00:02:43 Roseanne Thank you
2017-03-01 14:21:01 Roseanne Bob, I did get the job. Meant to send this last night. Anyway, my first check will not be until the 3rd week in march. By the end of march I will have caught up on all rent if you can be patient with me until then. Please let me know. I appreciate this more than you know.
2017-03-01 14:21:20 Roseanne I will start work next week..
2017-03-02 18:59:08 Bob Hi Roe, I sent you an email… Did you get it? You are saying you will be able to pay for all March by the end of March. But when will you be able to pay for April?
2017-03-02 19:36:56 Roseanne Hey sorry. I have not been paying attention to my emails. April’s payment will be no later than the 14th of april and then I will be back on track.
2017-03-02 19:37:44 Bob OK, so by end of March for March rent. April 14 for April rent, May 1 for May rent?
2017-03-02 19:38:49 Roseanne Yes
2017-03-02 20:18:51 Bob OK, that should work. Thanks
2017-03-02 23:13:12 Roseanne Thank you again Bob for working with me. I really appreciate it.
2017-03-20 23:35:33 Bob Hi Roe, I just wanted to confirm that you’re on schedule to make a rent deposit by end of March.
2017-03-20 23:42:39 Roseanne Yes
2017-03-20 23:42:54 Bob Thanks
2017-03-20 23:46:40 Roseanne Hey tried to email you the other day. The fence that connects to neighbors fell. I propped it up. But it still needs to be repaired. These winds lately have been vicious
2017-03-20 23:48:39 Bob Can you take a picture and send it to me? When you say you “tried to email”, what happened?

There’s the good ole “tried to email you the other day”. I even inquire this time, what does “tried to email” even mean?

2017-03-20 23:49:22 Bob You can send pic through text message
2017-03-20 23:59:12 Bob Are your dogs in during the day when you’re at work? Gate still not locked? I can try to have someone look at the fence and give me an estimate on what needs to be done.

Of course no answers… Given what happens next I can’t help but suspect that this was because she didn’t want my people there. Something was probably going on that she didn’t want me to see

The Accident and “Brain Bleed”

AND NOW the real show begins… If you think she’s been a scrambled egg so far, buckle up!

2017-03-30 17:06:07 Bob Hi Roe, when can I expect to see a record of your deposit?
2017-03-31 07:32:27 Bob Hi Roe, will you be masking
2017-03-31 07:33:18 Bob Sorry, auto correct…. will you be making a deposit Friday?
2017-04-03 15:11:36 Roseanne Bob, I have just had the chance to respond to you. I see that you called. My sister said you left notes on my house. I apologize for not being available.
2017-04-03 15:11:37 Roseanne However, last wednesday I fell at the house while trying to change the filter on the ac unit. Ended up in the hospital with a brain bleed. Anyway, I have checked my account and my company did not put in a deposit. If you will please be patient with me so I can find out what happened. Once I call them I have to allow a 48 to 60 hour turnaround time for them to call me back. I am hoping they will do so immediately. As soon as I hear something I will call you but will keep you updated until I do. As a side note, I do not always keep my phone with me. So if you call I will call you as soon as I see you have called. It may be 2 days. Texting is always easier for me.
2017-04-03 15:11:54 Roseanne By the way, I came home yesterday evening.
2017-04-03 17:41:17 Roseanne If you can please text me as soon as possible to let me know you received this.
2017-04-03 17:44:22 Bob Hi Roe, yes, I got it. Thanks for letting me know. You mean your new job hasn’t paid you?
2017-04-03 17:44:45 Bob Sorry to hear of your accident, but glad you’re back home and OK now
2017-04-03 18:28:11 Roseanne That is correct. Their first check for me has not been deposited..I have placed a call at 0700 since they are on the east coast and open at 0800
2017-04-03 18:28:48 Bob OK, keep me posted when you find something

OK, where do I start? Fell while changing AC filter? I’m really not buying it… REALLY. The AC is in the attic, which is hard to get to. Yes, it is in the lease that quarterly changing of the AC filter is her responsibility, but I don’t believe she could do it herself. She even acknowledges in a much earlier text – included above – that she can’t do it. AND, even if she did, the filter is not located anywhere near the entrance to the attic, so if she fell, it would have just been to the floor of the attic, unless of course she fell OUT OF THE ATTIC before getting to the AC.

BUT, of course I was initially shocked by the news and felt bad for her. But subsequent evidence casts all this in serious doubt.

ALSO, note that the accident happens when she’s a month behind on rent. Also note that on 4/3 she says “last wednesday I fell at the house”. “Last Wed” would then be March 29. Previously she said she expected her first paycheck in the 3rd week of March. That means the first paycheck was scheduled for March 21 at the latest.

THAT would mean that the scheduled first pay date of Mar 21 was a week past by the time of her supposed accident. It seems that the natural thing to do for a woman who lost her job and was behind on all her bills would be to IMMEDIATELY investigate the missing paycheck. But instead she just kept going to work (supposedly) and didn’t even notice the missing paycheck.

2017-04-07 01:41:31 Bob Hi Roe, Is there any word on your lost paycheck?
2017-04-07 01:42:20 Roseanne I was just going to text you. I have heard from accounting and they are looking into it. Will get back to my by Monday since Friday is a half day for them..
2017-04-07 01:42:48 Bob OK
2017-04-07 01:45:28 Roseanne I am not so sure this company is legit. For what it is worth I have an interview next week. I do not like this at all
2017-04-07 01:46:09 Bob What is the name of it?
2017-04-07 01:46:45 Roseanne SENEASE, INC.
2017-04-07 01:48:58 Bob health care? Hospital? I see a “Sensease”, like a pharmaceutical nasal spray…
2017-04-07 01:49:16 Roseanne No it is a Healthcare center
2017-04-07 01:49:31 Roseanne I wis it was a Nasal spray
2017-04-07 01:49:42 Roseanne Not a hospital
2017-04-07 01:49:57 Roseanne It deals with patient care reports and Medicare fraud
2017-04-07 01:51:41 Bob And you spelled it right… “Senease”? Google shows nothing
2017-04-07 01:52:04 Roseanne Yes.
2017-04-07 01:53:08 Roseanne Google has nothing on it. This is why I could not research prior to starting. Apparently they pay to keep it off the net..it is a big company from what I can gather. I have been working on medicare fraud papers for ever
2017-04-07 01:56:03 Bob I don’t think one can pay to stay out of Google search results… they sound fishy
2017-04-07 02:01:51 Roseanne Yep they can. It costs a lot of money apparently. But due to the threats of violence once they catch someone committing medicare fraud they keep their name out of the net
2017-04-07 02:02:05 Roseanne We had to have a long long day of teaching about this
2017-04-07 02:08:41 Roseanne Seems you can buy anything now a days

So, her new job is with a company, “Senease, Inc.”, who PAYS TO STAY OUT OF GOOGLE! And, “due to the threats of violence once they catch someone committing medicare fraud they keep their name out of the net”? Why doesn’t the FBI keep their name “out of the net”? They investigate fraud too. So I don’t know if they really told her this and she believed it, or if she just made it up to tell me, but this is crazy, unbelievable BS.

2017-04-10 22:45:44 Bob Hi Roe, so what’s the story on the paycheck?
2017-04-10 23:03:55 Roseanne Have not heard anything yet today. But then again it is becoming bad weather and Internet is down. Which means they are scrambling. I will call them at 1600.
2017-04-11 01:13:37 Bob 1600 = 4pm? Did you call?
2017-04-11 01:24:15 Bob What’s the story?
2017-04-11 01:37:44 Roseanne They are looking into it. Bad weather here. Hail storm where I am.
2017-04-11 01:38:17 Bob OK Roe, but this is a phone call, right?

You catch that? “Haven’t heard anything, but bad weather…” What the hell does the weather have to do with anything? Electricity is still on, right? Phones still work? Is she working outside in the fields?

2017-04-11 01:38:24 Roseanne Either way, on Friday I have a deposit coming in for 900.00 i will deposit yhat
2017-04-11 01:38:44 Roseanne And still will keep calling yhem daily.
2017-04-11 01:38:59 Roseanne Not only do I have you to pay I have bills too. So I have to get this straight
2017-04-11 01:39:49 Roseanne And of course dealing with someone who does not seem to understand a whole lot of English is not easy. Which is what is happening
2017-04-11 22:28:11 Roseanne Bob, aren’t you pretty proficient with computer searches and such?

Yes – I can type stuff into Google… Is there more to it than that?

2017-04-11 22:31:13 Bob Yes
2017-04-11 22:38:18 Bob What are you searching for?
2017-04-11 22:39:01 Roseanne I need to look into this company a little more. The main thing is the one they outsource payroll to
2017-04-11 22:39:31 Bob And their name?
2017-04-11 22:40:01 Roseanne Let me get it. I will text you this evening. It will take me a bit.
2017-04-12 07:03:13 Bob So it sounds like you really aren’t any closer to a solution about getting your paycheck
2017-04-12 15:07:45 Roseanne I just checked my email and I was hired yesterday. So will be starting new job this friday. Tired of getting the run around with this place. I am making some calls to the better business Bureau and the labor board which was suggested to me by a wage and hour attorney
2017-04-12 15:09:32 Bob Question: Do you have clear title to your Audi?
2017-04-12 15:09:49 Roseanne No.
2017-04-12 15:10:06 Bob Is it a lease?
2017-04-12 15:10:16 Roseanne No
2017-04-12 15:11:37 Bob But you own it?
2017-04-12 15:13:19 Bob I ask because if you can get the title, you can get a car title loan… there is a Title Max 3 minutes from the house
2017-04-12 15:14:36 Bob I’m sorry you are going through all this, but I REALLY need rent.
2017-04-12 15:21:02 Bob I’m fairly sure the Better Business Bureau won’t be able to help with this.
2017-04-12 15:21:06 Bob http://www.twc.state.tx.us/businesses/employment-law-discrimination-wages-child-labor
2017-04-12 15:27:21 Bob http://www.twc.state.tx.us/jobseekers/texas-payday-law
2017-04-12 22:08:11 Roseanne Thank you. Missed your call. At work right now. Will text when I leave here. The information for Texas helped alot. Was able to contact them and talk to someone. the forms I need to fill out I have now
2017-04-13 15:50:59 Bob When can we have a short voice call?
2017-04-13 18:03:29 Roseanne Bob, it is 0900 here. I am currently on a conference call working. I will have to call you back this evening. We are not allowed phone calls snd texts stretching it. I need to email you this contract they presented to me this morning. I want you to take a look at it and see what you think of it. It deals with pay and work production.
2017-04-13 18:04:04 Bob ok
2017-04-14 00:42:26 Bob Hi Roe, do you get off work at 1600? Can you talk then? That is 0100 for me…
2017-04-14 01:11:06 Bob I need to speak with you
2017-04-14 01:11:32 Bob When can you talk?
2017-04-14 01:11:37 Roseanne Bkb, please do not call me while I am st work. If I get fired, I won’t have a leg to stand on with the paycheck issue.
2017-04-14 01:12:11 Bob When do you get off of work?
2017-04-14 01:13:51 Roseanne I am working until i am finished with this report. And I have no idea when that will be today. We are under a deadline with this. And we have to be done by tomorrow at noon.
2017-04-14 01:15:26 Roseanne I am going to try to take a break in 30 minutes or so. Can I call you then?
2017-04-14 01:15:47 Bob Sure… and if there’s a problem, text me and I’ll call you
2017-04-14 02:01:26 Roseanne Okay

We ACTUALLY HAD THAT CALL! She really exists! And, to be honest, the story sounded plausible. And by that I mean that the new job was at a not-so-ethical place, and there was some crap about the pay structure, etc. I’m not saying it’s all above board, but it did not sound to me like something she could make up. At least in this instance she seemed to get the raw end of the deal. But, then again, who goes to work for a company who DOESN’T EXIST? And who believes a company that says they pay to keep their name off the internet? So maybe she’s on the receiving end of the scam?

BUT STAY TUNED… ***NOW*** it gets REALLY INTERESTING….

Sister Cindy and the Death Bed

2017-04-17 17:52:55 Bob Hi Roe, I don’t see a record of that $900 deposit you mentioned. Was it delayed?
2017-04-17 17:53:21 Bob Or maybe just not showing up because of holiday weekend?
2017-04-18 15:06:34 Bob Hi Roe, did you get my text message yesterday? I don’t see the $900 deposit you mentioned putting in on Friday… Will you be doing that soon?
2017-04-19 01:53:51 Bob Hi Roe, what’s the problem? You aren’t answering my texts…
2017-04-21 01:41:32 Cindy Bob
2017-04-21 01:42:00 Bob Yes
2017-04-21 01:44:30 Cindy Bob comma this is Cindy McCready. I am Rose sister. Role is in the ICU in Dallas. Apparently she had a delayed bleed on the brain. This goes back to the original subarachnoid hemorrhage that she had. I have noticed that you had called a few days ago but being unsure of who you are I didn’t know whether I should answer her phone or not. Rose told me today to go ahead and call you or text you and let you know what was going on. They are hoping that she will be out of the hospital by next Wednesday.
2017-04-21 01:45:21 Cindy ICU visitation is not until 8:30 tonight and if that time I will ask her about the deposit
2017-04-21 01:46:29 Bob OK, please do let me know. Thanks.
2017-04-21 01:48:28 Cindy Bob we would like to find a neighbor that found her and called nine-one-one. Do you know the neighbors across the alleyway
2017-04-21 01:49:42 Bob I don’t know the neighbors directly behind me.
2017-04-21 01:50:18 Bob I know the ones behind and to the left – the ones next to the one directly behind
2017-04-21 01:50:24 Cindy Okay. We are just grateful that they found her and called. The doctors are telling us that if she would have been down about another hour that she wouldn’t be with us
2017-04-21 01:50:36 Bob Wow
2017-04-21 01:51:17 Bob I can probably find the name… You mean the ones directly behind… Like if you back out of Roe’s driveway and keep going you’re in their driveway?
2017-04-21 01:52:33 Cindy I believe so
2017-04-21 01:52:55 Bob I’ll ask Paul (diagonally behind)
2017-04-21 01:53:00 Cindy The EMT report says her neighbors behind her
2017-04-21 02:04:13 Bob Right, but Paul will probably know the neighbors behind her
2017-04-21 18:14:01 Bob Cindy or Roseanne?
2017-04-21 18:53:12 Cindy This is cindy. Rose is in ICU and sedated right now. Breathing is not stable and they think the bleed has extended
2017-04-21 19:09:54 Bob I’m sorry to hear that. I’m praying for her.
2017-04-21 19:18:50 Bob I know this may seem like bad timing, but I’m in a real bind regarding mortgage. Roseanne is two months ($3500) behind on rent and was planning to make a payment of $900 she has from some annuity. Did you find out anything about that?
2017-04-21 19:37:46 Cindy She has not been able to talk. She has been in a semi coma i guess is the word. We thought yesterday she was doing so well, now we are not sure if she is going to make it. i will try to get into her computer today and check on her banking to see
2017-04-21 19:39:28 Bob Thanks!

NOTE, at 2017-04-21 01:44:30 Cindy says “Rose told me today to go ahead and call you or text you and let you know what was going on”. Then at 2017-04-21 19:37:46 “She has not been able to talk. She has been in a semi coma i guess is the word.” Sooo, awake and speaking or in a “semi-coma”? Admittedly the later comment is 18 hours later, so she could have been speaking, then later out, but seems fishy.

2017-04-21 20:13:00 Cindy If our momma was more tech savvy thsi woilf not be s9 hard
2017-04-23 00:07:33 Bob Cindy?
2017-04-23 00:22:28 Cindy Yes?
2017-04-23 00:23:55 Bob How is Roe?
2017-04-23 00:25:46 Cindy She is still sedated. They have her on a ventilator to help her rest right now. And her bleeding has stopped so they have postponed surgery for now. They are going to try to wean her off the vent on monday. And see how she does.
2017-04-23 00:26:26 Bob So not much change I guess. My prayers are still with her.
2017-04-23 00:26:59 Cindy Thank you. My mom says she appreciates it.

For the record, “Mom” is there, right?

2017-04-23 00:27:10 Bob I have something serious to discuss. Can you communicate on her behalf? I am going to need to get another tenant into my house. I know it is horrible timing, but it is just something I can’t delay further. Today I had a friend post formal notices on the house. In addition to the notice was a letter from me with an offer.
2017-04-23 00:29:29 Cindy No. She has never designated that. That is why we are having such a hard time getting things done here. We have had to hire a lawyer to petition the bank so we can pay her bills
2017-04-23 00:30:13 Cindy What??
2017-04-23 00:32:10 Bob Basically instead of a formal eviction (which nobody wants) I will agree to release her from the remainder of the lease if she can be moved out by Friday, leaves the place reasonably clean, and surrenders keys and garage remotes. In addition, if all those are done, I will refund $250 of her deposit to help defray some of the cost of moving.
2017-04-23 00:33:15 Cindy Bob, we cannot even get into her bank to get money out. If you will give us two weeks which is what it will take to petition the bank.
2017-04-23 00:33:23 Bob The person who posted the notices said there was a notice from the City of Lewisville about unpaid utility bills. I think the water is probably off. 
2017-04-23 00:33:52 Cindy And how eill she move out. She is on a ventilator. We do not live here . We do not know anyone to help move her stuff.
2017-04-23 00:34:13 Cindy Her water is off. We had it turned off by calling the city.
2017-04-23 00:34:41 Bob Well, when I say “she has to move out”, I would suspect that it would be professional movers, not her. And maybe organized with the help of family.
2017-04-23 00:35:27 Cindy It is my mom and me. I am disabled due to a tumor. My mom is 78

OK, Roseanne nor her crap can stay in my house if she doesn’t pay…. And now I’m starting to get the idea that the more urgent I make my case, the more they pile on these guilt trips to make me feel guilty for asking… I offered them a GIFT. Move Roe’s crap out and I would release her from the remainder of the lease AND give her money back from her deposit. If I collect on the entire amount she owes me in the event of a default, that comes to over $15000. I’m willing to forgive all that AND give them money… just get the f out., but NO… “I’m disabled, and mom is 78…” I wonder if dumbasses ever heard of “professional movers”? Even if Roe, Cindy, and their mom were all young and healthy they’d still hire movers for this!

And about the water… the notice on the door didn’t say the water was off, it said that the city of Lewiville (who provides water) received an NSF check! And, FYI, if you are Roseanne’s next landlord and she says she just doesn’t have any credit history, she’s lying and providing you a fake SSN. I’m sure an NSF to a city government shows up on a credit report.

2017-04-23 00:35:45 Bob Please understand, I’m going to be facing a big risk of losing my house if I don’t get revenue. I have been very flexible about her problems lately, but it’s beyond my control…
2017-04-23 00:35:49 Cindy Please give us 2 weeks to see if she wakes up and gets to getting around.
2017-04-23 00:36:39 Cindy Can you give us two weeks. By that time we can get into her bank and get your funds to you
2017-04-23 00:37:50 Bob Funds… ALL FUNDS? She hasn’t paid March or April. That’s $3500. And on May 1 another $1750 is due. That’s $5250.
2017-04-23 00:38:37 Bob If I had something substantial that this – or even something close to this – would happen it would REALLY help the case
2017-04-23 00:38:39 Cindy I dont know what is in there. But i know w3 can get you 1750

OK, if Roe went down like a sack of dirt and is in a “semi-coma”, and if Cindy and mom are here from out of down to tend to Roe, HOW does Cindy know what Roe has in the account? How does Cindy know she can get me 1750? Wouldn’t that mean she KNOWS there’s at least 1750?

2017-04-23 00:39:27 Bob OK… Let me think about this. I mean seriously, if I believed she was ever going to catch up I wouldn’t even think this.
2017-04-23 00:41:07 Bob When can you get me $1750?
2017-04-23 00:55:48 Cindy Between monday and two weeks.
2017-04-23 00:59:24 Bob If by Monday I have $1750 I would be inclined to postpone action a few weeks, but I can’t wait two weeks. This lawyer… Does he tell you anything about how the law handles this? I mean, in the event someone becomes incapacitated without designating someone to act on her behalf?
2017-04-23 00:59:48 Bob Would this lawyer speak to me?
2017-04-23 01:32:37 Cindy Monday is when he does the paper work to gain access to her bank.
2017-04-23 01:38:48 Bob OK, I would like to talk to him if possible, but I’m pretty sure I know his answer for the purposes of the house. I will discuss further tomorrow or Monday.
2017-04-23 02:19:58 Cindy We will talk to him monday about it. My mom and I will be out of touch most of tomorrow. But i will touch base with you tomorrow evening. They will keep her sedated all day tomorrow. so i am going to get mom to rest some.
2017-04-23 02:21:28 Cindy I just wsnt you to know roseanne has talked about you and how much she thought of you. I appreciate you doing what ever you can to give me us time to get your money to you

Ah, now I’m supposed to feel guilty about taking any serious steps!

2017-04-23 10:14:24 Bob RE: “tomorrow evening” — Keep in mind that right now I am in a time zone 9 hours ahead of Dallas. So 6pm your time is 3am my time, etc.
2017-04-23 10:15:31 Bob I turn off all ringers when I sleep, so call/text any time, but if I don’t answer it’s probably because I’m sleeping.
2017-04-24 00:14:43 Bob Hi Cindy – I don’t know if you’re still out of reach. You said you would be in touch this evening. It’s after midnight here now, so let me just tell you my thinking. I will look for your answer when I wake up if you don’t answer now.
2017-04-24 00:14:59 Bob A big problem for me is that I don’t believe there is any money in Roe’s accounts, nor do I expect any to come in. Do you KNOW otherwise? Why? Did that missing paycheck come in? Here is my decision. Right now Roe owes $3500, and on May first it will be an additional $1750 bringing the total to $5250. If you can get me a cashier’s check for $1750 for March rent by the end of the day Monday (4/24/2017) I will postpone any further action for at least two weeks. Two weeks later (May 8) another $1750 will be due for April rent, and two weeks after that on May 22 another $1750 for May rent will be due. If any of these are late I will again be forced to demand that Roseanne move.
2017-04-24 00:17:59 Bob If you can pay me the $1750 Monday (cashier’s check) I will arrange to have someone meet you to collect that check in person. Let me know.
2017-04-24 00:18:32 Bob If YOU believe that Roe has money in her accounts or will be getting some soon, maybe you would pay me $1750 on Roe’s behalf and when she’s back on her feet she can repay you?
2017-04-24 00:22:36 Bob But if you can’t get a $1750 cashier’s check to me Monday and you don’t believe she’ll have the funds to meet this payback schedule, I strongly urge you to accept my offer. The offer again is if she is completely moved out of my house by 11:59PM Friday April 28, 2017 and leaves it clean and returns keys and garage remotes I will return $250 from her deposit. That is a $5500 gift! It forgives the $5250 she will owe by May 1 and gives her $250. It also releases her from the remainder of the lease.
2017-04-24 00:22:46 Bob Probably for under $600 you could hire movers, buy a few months in a storage unit, and pay someone to clean the house. Then when she is out of the hospital she can live with her mom in Mississippi until she can get strong enough to go back to work.
2017-04-24 00:23:43 Bob On a personal note, when I try to picture myself in Roe’s situation I am very sure I would respond very differently to an offer like the one I’m offering. If I was under a lease for another 6 months, was already two months behind on rent with another month’s rent coming due soon, and then took ill and lost my job, then the landlord came to me and said, “Hey, I know you’re going through hard times, but I need to have someone here who can keep up with the payments, so I will make you deal… Move out and leave the place clean in one week and I’ll PAY YOU $250 AND release you from the remainder of your lease”, I WOULD BREATH A GIANT SIGH OF RELIEF AND THANK HIM. Seriously, that’s a HUGE weight off my shoulders.
2017-04-24 00:23:49 Bob Please try to look at it this way!
2017-04-24 01:01:23 Cindy Bob. My mom is still resting here. However i woke up to this text. I have already told you i am not able to get the 1750 and roe is sedated and in a ventilator. So, as that is being said i understand where you are coming from. But i will tell you this, roe’s paycheck from some kind of insurance came in yesterday. But i still have to have paperwork filed in order to cash it. I am asking you to please wait until thursday that gives my momma three days at least to have paperwork in hand to cash check
2017-04-24 01:02:53 Cindy Also, the attorney has asked if you have house insurance that covers personal injury? Roe was injured at the house and the bleed came from that injury. Her insurance is coming up to max right now.

AH… what’s this? Is this just a little something to put some fear in me? No, I don’t have personal injury insurance… But the insurance I DO have won’t just pay for an obvious scam.

2017-04-24 01:05:33 Cindy And again, there is no way we can move anything. My mom is 78 and i am disabled. I am not sure you undetstand the situation here. My sister was injured and now we do not know if she is even going to live through the day much less the week. I just cannot communicate anymore today. We have had too much to deal with here. I will contact you tomorrow once i leave the attorneys office

Well, that pretty much seals the deal… “we do not know if she is even going to live through the day much less the week”. Right. At this point I seriously don’t believe ANYTHING I hear from her/them/it.

And notice that at no point does Cindy mention what hospital they are in. She says way back in the beginning of the “Cindy Section” that they are in an ICU in Dallas. So, I called nearly every hospital I could think of asking if Roseanne was registered there. Of course hospitals won’t give out information on the condition or treatment of a patient, but they all will verify whether someone is checked in.

I called Parkland, SW Medical Center, Medical City, Presbyterian, and Baylor, all in Dallas. None of them had Roseanne. Then I called the next 15 biggest hospitals in the whole DFW metroplex. None of them had Roseanne.

I’ll come back to that point in a moment

2017-04-25 00:51:38 Cindy Bob?
2017-04-25 00:51:50 Bob Yes
2017-04-25 00:52:40 Bob How is she?
2017-04-25 00:52:52 Bob How is Roe?
2017-04-25 00:57:02 Cindy They are trying to wake her up
2017-04-25 00:57:30 Bob That sounds like a good sign… right?
2017-04-25 00:57:33 Cindy We filed the paperwork this afternoon.
2017-04-25 00:58:06 Cindy She is not doing what they want at all.
2017-04-25 00:58:27 Bob You mean Roe?
2017-04-25 00:58:36 Cindy Yes
2017-04-25 00:58:54 Cindy She is not responding like she should
2017-04-25 00:59:15 Bob Oh, so them waking her is NOT good
2017-04-25 00:59:45 Cindy They said if she does not wake up and bresth bresth on her own in the nedt hour they wil put her bsck under and try again tomorrow
2017-04-25 01:00:56 Bob I will continue to pray for her strength and healing!
2017-04-25 01:06:07 Cindy Qrhe lawyer feels lile we should be able to deposit a check for you friday morning
2017-04-25 01:07:13 Bob Do you how much?
2017-04-25 01:09:33 Cindy He said 1500.00 can be written initially. That there are laws about this. And a percentage can be worhdrawn
2017-04-25 01:10:35 Cindy And an0ther 1500 within 14 days. The law says something about not being able to withdraw the whole amount
2017-04-25 01:11:08 Cindy Mom is saying 10 days
2017-04-25 01:11:17 Cindy For the second deposit
2017-04-25 02:25:13 Bob Did she wake up?
2017-04-25 02:50:04 Cindy No
2017-04-25 02:51:33 Cindy They are going to taper her off the pain meds. And tru again in the morninf
2017-04-25 16:05:35 Cindy They are waking her up this morning. She did really well last night they said. Will let you know how she does
2017-04-25 16:06:45 Bob Awesome!
2017-04-26 01:39:44 Cindy She is breathing more on her own today. They were not able to take her off the ventilator. Tomorrow we try again. But the good thing is she is taking some breaths on her own today
2017-04-26 01:52:31 Bob GREAT!
2017-04-26 22:30:04 Cindy Roseanne is breathing on her own today..she is not awake but she does respond to pain. Which is progress. Praying now.
2017-04-26 22:31:25 Bob That’s great… breathing and responding.
2017-04-26 22:31:51 Cindy Yes. We are very thankful right now
2017-04-26 22:32:55 Bob Definitely
2017-04-26 22:35:25 Bob Hey, on Friday instead of depositing can you  have a cashier’s check for me? I can arrange for someone to meet you.
2017-04-26 22:36:26 Cindy We also have been able to locate her best friend who is trying to get in contact with her job. To get a paycheck stub..so we will have some idea of what is in her account
2017-04-26 22:37:13 Bob But you said there would be 1500 friday, right?
2017-04-26 22:38:06 Cindy Yes.
2017-04-26 22:39:03 Bob Do you, or think, that the job at “Senease Inc” paid? There was a lot of trouble there getting a paycheck
2017-04-26 23:42:32 Cindy We are hoping they have. Apparently they have received the letter and hopefully have responded.
2017-04-27 19:53:17 Bob Is there any news? Did she wake?
2017-04-27 19:59:18 Cindy No
2017-04-27 20:01:28 Bob Still breathing on her own?
2017-04-27 23:29:17 Bob Cindy?
2017-04-28 00:34:17 Bob Hi Cindy, do you know any more about the check? When and where can I arrange to have someone meet you to get the check?
2017-04-28 00:34:50 Bob Please try to get a cashier’s check made out to: Robert B. Thomas III

Of course when it’s time to deliver some cash I hear crickets! Surely there’s a good excuse, right?

2017-05-01 19:32:41 Cindy Bob, i am trying this number hoping it is you..this is cindy.
2017-05-01 19:33:00 Bob It’s me
2017-05-01 19:33:45 Cindy Thank god. I dropped roseannes phone last week and broke it.
2017-05-01 19:34:02 Cindy And lost all information. Att has helped me get some of it back.

Right… Sort of like the “My phone’s speaker doesn’t work now…”

2017-05-01 19:35:06 Cindy We have been in court with the bank all day friday. They blocked our use of her account saying she is not declared dead. And they could not allow us access. We are back in court this afternoon.
2017-05-01 19:35:51 Cindy Attorney says he believes this time around he believes we will be successful.
2017-05-01 19:36:03 Bob Wow, where did they get that idea?
2017-05-01 19:36:36 Cindy They said that the laws pertain to death not incapacitated
2017-05-01 19:37:37 Cindy But there are laws that pertain imminent emergency..not sure i am stating that right..but
2017-05-01 19:37:52 Cindy I will text you this evening after court
2017-05-01 19:37:59 Bob OK
2017-05-01 19:38:18 Bob Has she awakened yet?
2017-05-01 19:38:34 Cindy N9.
2017-05-01 21:17:35 Cindy We also have a family meeting scheduled for wednesday. Bob, we are going to try and look at moving all of her stuff out and into storage. None of us live here. And we think it might be best to start thinking long term here.
2017-05-01 21:18:05 Cindy But it will take us 3 weeks to do it. She is not responding to anything we do today
2017-05-01 21:27:55 Bob Three weeks to move things into storage?
2017-05-01 21:28:41 Cindy Not any longer than that. My uncle is driving up from Houston and will be loading up her stuff not this weekend but next weekend
2017-05-01 22:16:18 Cindy Tomorrow evening i would like to speak with you if possible
2017-05-01 22:23:20 Bob Yes, but remember, I’m 9 hours ahead of Dallas time, so your 7pm is my 4am
2017-05-01 22:23:52 Cindy Okay. I will text you in the am. As soon as i know a time we can all be there to talk
2017-05-01 22:24:16 Bob OK, thanks.
2017-05-02 22:23:53 Bob Hi Cindy – It’s 10:22 PM here now… If you want to speak it should be within the next hour or so (or tomorrow)
2017-05-03 22:50:03 Cindy I have just received this text. I am sorry for the delay. We are having a hard emotional time right now. But i do intend on calling and talking to you
2017-05-04 18:04:07 Cindy Bob are you available this morning to talk? We are all here together
2017-05-04 18:04:23 Cindy They are asking us to make a decision about turning the vent off.
2017-05-04 18:06:08 Cindy So we are here talking about that and of course getting all of roseannes stuff together. Roseanne coded and they put her back on the vent the other day.
2017-05-04 18:06:09 Cindy Needless to say they do not give us any hope right now.
2017-05-04 18:08:26 Bob Yes, I’m available till around 2pm Texas time. Just let me know when so that I can be at my computer with headset on (my computer is my phone for now)
2017-05-04 18:08:46 Bob Or text me when you’re ready and I’ll call you.
2017-05-05 21:21:47 Cindy Bob, judge just ruled on our case for access to roseannes bank account.
2017-05-05 21:22:50 Cindy He said that the bank will draft a book of checks for us to use and they will be available to us this coming tuesday..wednesday latest.
2017-05-05 21:23:31 Bob OK. Do you now know what’s in the accounts?
2017-05-05 21:24:11 Cindy So as of next wednesday my uncle will be depositing a check to you for 1500.00 and then an additional amount on the 19th.
2017-05-05 21:24:31 Cindy Which shoulf catch you up to date. For the total amount.
2017-05-05 21:24:52 Cindy We have had a many family meetings and alot of emotional times.
2017-05-05 21:25:17 Cindy But they will be removing the vent on monday and we are calling all family in.
2017-05-05 21:25:46 Bob OK, thanks for letting me know.
2017-05-05 21:26:23 Cindy Yep. I do believe the total ia 5600.00 is that correct?
2017-05-05 21:28:14 Bob You mean what is owed?
2017-05-05 21:29:33 Bob Rent is $1750/month, and she hasn’t paid March, April, or May (which was due on 1st). So now the total is $5250.
2017-05-08 17:50:19 Bob Cindy — Do you have a moment to speak?
2017-05-08 17:51:09 Cindy Bob, they are removing the vent today. So not really..they give her maybe 8 hours
2017-05-08 17:51:46 Bob Is she in Lewisville hospital?

Ah, here, I finally ASK which hospital…

2017-05-08 17:52:01 Cindy No
2017-05-08 17:52:21 Bob Which hospital?

Hmm, wouldn’t it be more natural to say “No, she’s in Parkland” rather than make me ask?

2017-05-08 17:56:42 Cindy She is at parkland. But please do not send flowers. They do not allow them here in icu. Plus our family has requested no info for her because of her ex husband coming here. Like i said this has been an emotional roller coaster for all of us
2017-05-08 17:57:07 Cindy I have to get back in there. Was there something you needed?
2017-05-08 17:57:21 Bob No
2017-05-08 17:58:26 Cindy Okay. Thank you. I step out every hour or so. Will check phones then. The staff has been very nice about ius staying in there

So, she’s at Parkland – the very first hospital I called, BUT, I can’t verify because of this supposed ex-husband thing… Oh, and I can’t send flowers either – which would verify her presence there. NOW I’m 100% this is ALL BS.

AND, by this time I had done some of my own P.I. work and discovered with complete certainty that Roseanne wasn’t even in the hospital, injured, or sick at all! I don’t want to disclose the methods of my investigation at this point, but it’s a 100% sure thing!

And, note above Cindy says the hospital is pressing for a decision to remove the ventilator (i.e. “pull the plug”, meaning Roseanne DIES). Once I verified that the whole hospital/sick/injured/coma thing was a scam, I made a prediction… They were going to take her off the ventilator and she would resume breathing on her own, or something like that. She wasn’t going to DIE. This was all a scam to distract me, engage my sympathies, etc. so that I wouldn’t take legal action. But shit, I OFFERED to let her out of the lease!

2017-05-10 01:57:23 Cindy Bob, this is cindy again..i need your help for a minute. Roseannes ex husband managed to have a court ordered stop to the removal of the vent. And said that he has spoken to her neighbors and has spoken to you. Have you talked to anyone saying the represent roseanne as her power of attorney? We are due back in court to stop this. And have kept her passing very quiet. So not sure how he found out what was going on.
2017-05-10 01:59:25 Cindy By the way, the only person who is representing roseanne right this instant is her attorney of record. We have also all chosen to not go to her house until this week but now wonder if someone else has been there. Which no one should be there but me or one of our family to move everything out.

And THERE IT IS… Roseanne’s ex blocked the vent removal! But I’m not sure what the introduction of this ex into the story does for them. Just more details to make the story more interesting?

But look, “we have kept her PASSING very quiet”. PASSING? You know that usually means DEAD, right?

2017-05-11 18:23:22 Cindy Bob we are moving roseannes stuff today, through sunday at the latest. Is this gokng to br a problem
2017-05-11 18:23:45 Cindy My unlce has tried to call you more than twice, you will not answer..
2017-05-11 18:24:52 Bob I have not received a call from your uncle, only the voice message from you.
2017-05-11 18:25:33 Cindy His name is mark and he called once yesterday and then the day before
2017-05-11 18:25:59 Bob He may have called the wrong number

2017-05-11 18:31:43 Cindy Also, there is an expected call from our attorney. Dan E Martens is the law firm we had to hire. He is trying to get all of this stuff straightened out.
2017-05-11 18:31:44 Cindy I say expected. he said he may need to get some information from you about the document her husband says he has for advance directives.
2017-05-11 18:32:33 Cindy That would be good yes. We know she did not bring a washer and dryer nor a fridge.
2017-05-11 18:33:21 Cindy We are going to store everything we can in lewisville at the storage place on 121.
2017-05-11 18:36:10 Cindy Bob, when you comeback to the states, we would all like to meet you. Maybe come stay a weekend with us at our family place. One of her best friends is gsthering everyone’s name together and sending out information for a get together. but this is going to be down the road some.

Ah, a good old “Remembering Roseanne Reunion”, make me feel like part of the family and forget about the $5000+ she owes me! I guess it’s the least they could do

2017-05-13 17:46:47 Bob ok
2017-05-13 17:46:52 Cindy My uncle, my niece, and I will be there to move her stuff. Is there anything else we need yo know
2017-05-13 17:47:22 Bob Not that I know of
2017-05-13 17:47:46 Bob Roseanne – I haven’t seen a deposit yet…

Note: “Roseanne – I haven’t seen a deposit yet…” Did they not catch that?

2017-05-13 17:50:53 Cindy Okay. There is a note on the door. Did you file eviction on roseanne? Bob, how the heck is she supposed to be evicted when she is in the state she is in?

What “state” is that? I KNOW she’s fine, and even WORKING!

2017-05-13 17:50:53 Cindy What the heck?? Do we need to go to court? Bob, why didnt you say anything? Omg. What if my momma had seen this. Of all times.
2017-05-13 17:51:33 Cindy Do i need to call our attorney? I do not know what to do with this.
2017-05-13 17:52:50 Bob Do what you need to do. I had no idea if you were ever going to move out so I did the only thing I could.
2017-05-13 17:53:02 Cindy My uncle mark tried to call you three seperate times. Even using roseannes phone. You never answered.
2017-05-13 17:53:17 Cindy I dont get why you did not say anything.
2017-05-13 17:53:33 Cindy Bob, you could have said something. Put yourself where we are right now..
2017-05-13 17:53:37 Bob I don’t see any missed calls or messages from a Mark
2017-05-13 17:53:39 Cindy At least have told us.
2017-05-13 17:53:47 Cindy Mark smith
2017-05-13 17:53:58 Cindy I am not sure what it comes up as on id
2017-05-13 17:55:12 Bob I don’t have ANY missed calls or messages from any id
2017-05-13 17:56:01 Bob Listen, I had no idea when or if you were ever going to move out. I had no choice but to take steps to ensure that I could get my house rented out again as soon as possible.
2017-05-13 17:57:39 Cindy Anyway, we are here moving her stuff. I am just sad you have had to do this. I told you we would move her stuff out this weekend. We have had a hell of a time going through all of this.
2017-05-13 17:58:10 Cindy You had a choice bob. I told you we would move her stuff out this weekend. Anyway it is done.
2017-05-13 17:58:23 Bob You told me a lot of things, like that you were going to pay…. I still don’t see any rent payments
2017-05-13 18:01:31 Cindy I will have my uncle mark call you again. I will also tell him to text you prior to. He is handling all of the finances that need to be taken care of.
2017-05-13 18:01:46 Bob ok
2017-05-13 18:12:09 Bob When you are finished moving out please leave keys and garage remotes with Mark DiCiaccio, 2030 Devin Ln., Lewisville, TX 75067 (or his wife, Belinda). Mark lives two houses up the hill toward Valley View. He said he or his wife will be home all day.

**** THE END FOR NOW ****

They never did leave keys or remotes with my neighbor. My friend went into the house to inspect, as permitted by the lease, and found it TRASHED. They even left food in the frig even though the power was out for weeks! I will need to replace all the flooring and paint the entire interior.

To be honest, I really still don’t know what to think. It’s easy to say “It was just a scam”. Obviously it WAS a scam, but I don’t think it was pre-meditated. I mean really, she got the power and water to the house shut off for non payment even though all her crap was still there.

Although this is totally without actual evidence, I would say there is some big piece of the puzzle missing. I’d guess she has alcohol or drug issues which keep her unable to keep a job or meet her responsibilities. I just think of my previous roommate who had that problem. There were a lot of similarities.

But, back to business… If you are a landlord, employer, or creditor looking to do a little due diligence on Roseanne Pahnka, BE AWARE. Get a desposit the amount of 3-6 months, inspect often, put up 3-day notices to vacate the first day rent is late, charge HEFTY late fees, and accept no excuses!

Better yet, reject her application.
