The following is a condensation of someone else's FAQ which I verified after my initial suspicious were raised by a number of red flags concerning this website - especially the reference to a site more secure than that of the Federal Government. There is NO SITE on the internet, the Dark Web, or most provate non-published IP addresses that cannot be hacked.
The issues include financial rip-off and MOST IMPORTANTLY, securing very sensistive personal information that could be used to commit identity theft. This PII (Personally Indentifiable Information) solicitied by the site include DOB, SSN, current and former addresses, PayPal info, credit and debit including CCV codes, etc.
My report is an attempt to help stop these activitiess.
1. Q -- What Is The American War Library & DEA Watch?
A -- It is a COMMERCIAL PAY-FOR-VIEW BULLETIN BOARD SERVICE with a WEB PAGE ON THE INTERNET USED AS THE FISHING LURE.You will currently find it listed as The American War Library, but it has been called other names such as: The American Foreign Conflicts Electronic Library, The
American Constitutional Service Electronic Library, The Electronic War Library, War Library, The Vietnam War Electronic Library, The
Japanese-American WWII Electronic Library, The Nisei-American Veterans Electronic Library, etc. The American Law Enforcement Electronic Wall, The American Internment Camp Experience, American Heros Info Services.
That has appeared in the alt.law-enforcement news group and is being used by Phill Coleman is The American Law Enforcement
Electronic Library. Phill says that he has created a Hall of Fame to honor the US Drug Enforcement Administrations finest. So now it
appears that Phill is trying become the GURU for Law Enforcement as he has stated he is for Veterans.
2. Q. -- How long has The American War Library & DEA Watch been in
operation?
A. --Even though Phill Coleman claims since 1988 for AWL & 1989 for DEA Watch, as far as can be ascertained from the news group archives at Deja
News the first postings occurred in April 1995. This check was made against all of the different names listed in question number 1.
3. Q. -- Who is Phill Coleman?
A. -- He is the individual who operates The American War Library & DEA Watch Commercial Bulletin Board System at 16907 Brighton Ave., #B,
Gardena, California, 90247. Prior to Gardena he previously operated at 25601 Narbonne, Ste 6, Lomita, CA. 90717. He claims to be a veteran of
the Army and also claims to have served in Vietnam, but both those claims have not been substantiated and he refuses to offer any kind of proof. Even though he has demanded it of other Veterans that post to the various Veterans News groups.
I recently contacted the american war library run by a man named phil coleman With too aka' to print) online in regards to getting a replacement medal from my service in vietnam.
After completing the online forms and making a payment, i was then required to summit a copy of my dd214 for proof that i had earned the medal.
I decided to send my dd214 by certified us mail. Weeks passed and i had not heard back from the awl so i email them with an inqurie as to a time frame until i would recieve my replacement medal.
I received a reply stating they never recieved my dd214. They told me it is better to just email it. I did not feel right about emailing but i relent and sent it via email.
I got another email telling me they are not going to do business with me and that if i called this phone number they Awl) included in the email, i could purchase it from them.
I continured to email the awl several more times without success. I now unable to get a reply. The loss of money is small. Howerver, being con out of my dd214 is very serious to me. I feel this man will use it to profit by selling my personal info.
I am at a loss to understand why, if this so called phil coleman has been doing this to veterans for so many years, why hasn't the fbi or local lar enforcement busted him for fraud and thief.
Please continue reporting on ripoff crime so other veterans can be safe. I fear it is to late for me now that he has all my info and is now selling it
