Mr Stephen (Mark Hughes Baring- d.ob 27.4.64) is a sophisticated operator. Ostensibly set up as a Bond Street dealer in fine watches, he took two expensive watches on appro, neither of which were ever returned or paid for. The list of excuses and different stories as to why they were never returned or paid for is too long to itemise.

The Queens Bench division of the High Court in London found Mr Stephen Baring guilty and I was awarded a judgment on 27.Feb 2013 in the sum of £10,440 (approx $17,000) plus Court approved interest which is ticking away at 8%. I have up to six years to enforce this jusfgement against him.

The facts speak for themselves, and I leave you to make your own conclusions.

Foul Play of Stephen Baring

Unfortunately I had the misfortune of succumbing to the foul play of Stephen Baring. Obvious in hindsight, looking back he groomed me, building a trust. I met him at his office in Bond Street, handing over a valuable gold watch belonging to a dear elderly friend to sell.

After many months of persistent requests to return the watch, he finally stated the watch was sold, though his client had not yet paid as it was with his repairer. Strange statement as the watch had only been returned from the branded official agent in London, serviced a week before I handed the watch to him.

Eventually, a private investigator having conducted extensive enquiries, located the watch at a pawn dealer in London, fortunately able to prove the ownership from my dear friend, the watch currently resides with police pending an ongoing investigation.

Whilst my dear friend will eventually be reunited with his watch. It transpires Stephen Baring operates under the umbrella of Tempus Suisse Ltd along with other companies registered in his name; all dissolved sometime prior to this scenario.

Within the lengthy investigators report, the Bond Street London address is not the premises of Tempus Suisse Ltd, neither of Stephen Baring, that is according to the property owners, simply a mailing business with a small office Stephen Baring rents occasionally for meeting clients, purporting to be “his business address”.

It also transpires, he previously changed his name by dipole, from Stephen MH Jones, to Stephen MH Baring, quite possible he will be doing same again!

In the investigators summary, it mentions options apparent, based on the evidence in hand, and reading between the lines they have sufficient evidence, although they continue to monitor his activities.

Thought this may be of interest to other parties and help in some way.

Stole my watches and funds during 2012. Told me I was the only person he had an issue with, transpires he's been Coning & Scamming people for years.

He is a Manipulative Psychopathic Lying Fraudster, with no compassion or understanding of the Damage and Devastation he causes as he turns his back and Hides.

He has confessed his activities albeit he has not paid a cent in return.

I understand he has Scammed many many people by various means, and appears to continue to do so.

I am chasing him constantly as he speedily strides the city streets, only to be told lies, his safe was burgled, watchmaker ill, I will pay when I make my fortune, its the fault of my under performing staff, Im ill suffering depression, and so on.

Time will tell, Watch this space.

Stephen...

hello there I had a similar experience with Stephen where I purchased a Patek of him and then sent it for servicing where I had to keep phoning him and going into his bond street office where he does not even have a office he just rents a desk in a room every now and again to do business, it was only the fact that I found out all I needed to know about him and kept confronting him and his assistant salome who turned out to be his wife, I had all documentations sent to him and gave him a court summons but even before it went any further he turned up with the watch and a present to say sorry, I would never had let him get away with anything as I knew where he was and what he was doing through people who knew him..

Beware of Stephen Baring - he's a dangerous con man and fraudster

Stephen Baring is a very serious and dangerous character, not just a conman. It is true that he has ripped off many people regarding watches. At one time he was also running some kind of watch investment fund, which was a total scam. In some cases people lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. I urge anyone reading this - DO NOT deal with this man.

There was even a website setup warning people about him that detailed a whole host of incidents where he had ripped off customers, members of staff and unsuspecting members of the public. The website has since been taken down because I believe Stephen Baring started threatening the lives of the people behind the website. These threats were serious enough for the police to take investigate them and interview Baring.

Make no mistake, Baring is a serial fraudster and dangerous individual. Please heed this warning.

ROTTEN TO THE CORE

How can S. Baring live with himself? I assume that he enjoys briskly running down one London street and then up another London alley. Customers, debtors, ex-slave workers (his passive employees) of his have withstood alot of verbal abuse

from this psychpath.

After all, he and only he created the bloody messy serious dilemma that he has been in and to this day, is still ever-present.

Each and very one of your Baring victims need to come forward and post complaints on the oldest online fraud/scam site and

the Fraud/Scam Units of the London Police and the Powys (Wales) police.

Let it be known that numerous complaints have been instituted against Baring.

This is why he is always on the run.

He will be brought to justice.

He scammed me, he committed gross fraud on me, he lied to me many times,

he deceived me, and has literally given me every excuse on the books as to

why has been holding my very hard-earned money since 27/11/12.

GYLN ORIG, DAVID JONES, STEPHEN BARING, REV MAURICE JONES, TEMPUS GALLERY, TEMPUS SUISSE, TEMPUS ONLINE, FRAUD

STEPHEN BARING SELLS ASSETS - PROPERTY GLYN ORIG IN WALES

Stephen Baring (ex Jones) scammed me of my life savings and watch collection, all detailed in another fraud/scam site. To this day I have not received a penny.

To my astonishment, I now find a property has recently SOLD with the address 'GLYN ORIG, Machynlleth, Powys, Wales, SY20 9PR', appears to be the same address Stephen Baring registered his companies to, including: Tempus Suisse Ltd, Tempus Online Ltd, S2 Technologies Ltd. (all dissolved/bankrupt as confirmed by Companycheck).

The same address registered to the names: 'Stephen Baring' and his father 'Rev Maurice Jones'.

The property can be seen on a UK Property Agent website. I ask you to search: '4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale in Glynorig'

Glyn Orig (semi-detached residential house) recently sold for £125,000 yet I have not received a penny towards the $34,036 USD that the fraudster Stephen Baring - Jones fraudulently attained from me during 2012 to 2013.

QUESTION:

Has any of you 50 or so fellow victims received any payments owed to you from the property sale proceeds?

NEW BUSINESSES BY STEPHEN BARING:

Stephen Baring - Jones wrote to me on 3 April 2015, I have copy as proof.

QUOTE: 'I am doing very well :) I have 3 New Businesses, which do not use my name. They are doing very well and you will never find them. (signed off as): Sad loser :)'.

QUESTION:

Where are Stephen Baring's new businesses, or is this another figment of Stephen Baring - Jones imagination, as we have witnessed in the past!

Where is Stephen Baring's father Rev Maurice Jones, and why has he not come forward?

Is Stephen Baring - Jones working under the guise of 'David Jones' (brother)?

I have too much information to divulge on here, it can be made available. All I want is payment in full to include, funds and watches Stephen Baring stole from me, expenses & interest now amounting to $50.000

BEWARE OF STEPHEN BARING & TEAM JONES

Be Smarter Than Us

Stephen Baring is a horrible man who will lie, cheat, and steal whatever he wants in order to accomplish 'his dream'. He will make you feel as if he has all the knowledge in the world, like he has done this numerous times, like you would be a fool not to do business with him. The only thing true is that he has done this numerous times. By this, I mean cheated people out of thousands of pounds/dollars. He is notorious for taking watches to one of three pawn shops, getting the money to pay to get other items out of the pawn shop to pay other people or give people back their belongings. If he says it is with a repairer, that is a lie. If he says his repair man is sick, that is a lie. If he says he is sick, that is 95% a lie but he always works when he is sick. He has not only taken advantage of clients but also of his employees as well. He mostly hires young women that he feels sorry for, promises them that they will be okay under his care and tries to (and sometimes succeeds in) sleeping with them. When he is done or feels as if he is not the center of their universe, he finds a way to fire them or have them leave whichever company is up today. Do not, I repeat DO NOT do business with him. Or Salome Jones. He will put businesses under her name and still run them. I am not sure if they are married (would make sense as a way to circumvent some kind of law) but either way she does whatever it is that he wants with very little question. Save yourself. Even if the name of the company has Tempus in it double check to make sure that neither of them is involved in the business.

Would you be able to help me with the web I am entangled in?

Imagine a cash loss of $34,036.38 USD, which is what Baring has of my money. (equaling 20,607.16 Br. Pnds.)

In an earlier e-mail, I in error understated the actual amount that Baring stole from me and used the figure $33,800 USD

instead of using this figure: $34,036.38 USD.

1. He is still holding (that is, if he t hocked it!) my early 1950s Cartier which Baring claims was from his own watch

collection. I paid $6,608 USD (4,000 Br. Pnds.) for it on

27/11/12.

2. On 15/03/13, I asked Baring if I could trade my 1946 platinum rare!!) watch for two of his watches:

an 18K pink gold 1907 A. Lange & Sohne 51 mm pocket watch and a 1947 steel Omega with a 36 mm cream dial.

Baring asked to see my Patek via Skype. He then asked me to ship my watch to him to closely examine it.

A week later,

Baring tells me (without showing me my watch) that the domed lense of my watch was cracked as a result of shipping it to him.

Due to my stupidity thiking I could trust Baring, he did not show me my damanged watch on Skype. Baring then told me that he

would ship my Patek to the Patek which took place on 15/07/13. My Patek cost me $19,883.38

USD (12,038.86 Br. Pnds.)

3. In early May 2013, Baring who knew that I have been jobless for over 4 years & 8 months told me that he was launching the

2nd Vintage Watch Investment Fund in the world and this far,he enrolled 6 of his customers in his Fund and I would be the

7th to wire him money to deposit into his Fund. Baring e-mailed me his on 07 March 2013, making me the

Lender and Baring the Borrower. Baring told that because he considered me a friend, he would give me a 25%

return on each and every watch he sells during a Sales Cycle and that his other 6 customers would only receive a 10% return on each of

s watch sales. I wired baring $7,545 USD (4,568.30 Br.Pnds.)

Once Baring had my money wired to him, he then told me that my deposit will be put into a bank in The Cayman Islands for tax

s close friend named Willy who is the s largest bank will serve

as Fund Manager and Baring will serve as the Advertising & Solicitation Director of this Fund. I was supposed to receive total monthly 25%

returns ”

Well! 11/04/13 went by, 11/05/13 passed by, 11/06/13 flew by, 11/07/13 passed, 11/08/13 went, 11/09/13 went, 11/10/13 went -

and not one bloody penny did I receive from Fraudster Baring. Baring is clever, cunning, malevolent, obdurate, sadistic, narcisistic,

unscrupulous, self-aggrandizing, callous, and I am sorry to say this but evil and does not possess a soul, a heart, and a

conscience. Cray, If you would like to contact me, my e-mail is: @ q.com and my cell phone # (U.S.) is 602-xxx-xxxx.

In closing, Cray, Baring is 50% of the reason why I am on the virtual cusp of homelessness. I was sitting on top of the world financially,

that is, before Baring friended me and then stuck in evil claws in me -prior to early June 2012.

ACT and ACT NOW!

To be brief, Baring stole my platinum Patek Phillippe 1946 rare "Top Hat," my 1950 pink gold & steel Cartier, my 1993 steel Breitling Navitimer Premier, and my 1947 18K gold Omega. He committed gross fraud, sweet-talking me into depositing money into his "Vintage Watch Investment Fund," from which Baring "deposited" my funds in the amount of $ 7,500in a bank, he said, in the Cayman Islands. Baring is barred from setting foot anywhere in the proximity of the Burlington Arcade. I made it a point to spread the word and contacted numerous vintage watch sellers throughout England. The last thing I want to say is it is prudent for each and every one of you who has been a victim of the evil Baring to contact the London Police Department and the Powys Machyllinith, Wales Police Department. (Baring is Welsh). One of the victims who posted his complaint on here wrote that so far, Baring stole in the area of 465,000 Br. Pnds. Act! Be proactive!

RE: FOUL PLAY OF STEPHEN BARING

I am posting this in the hope that you, the author of "Foul Play of Stephen Baring", may be able to help me. I, like you, have been robbed by Stephen Baring (Jones) and my item in question is a very rare 1946 platinum Patek Philippe "Top Hat" watch. How would I go about tracking down the whereabouts of my stolen watch via London pawn shops? l live in The States - in Phoenix, Arizona.

It is CRITICAL that my Patek be found and given back to me. I paid $ 19,883.38 USD for it. I am struggling to make ends meet and get by from one month until the next through the generosity of friends. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

I thank you.
