I have a court ruling against Richard and guess what no money. I am with a group of people that were all ripped off by preacher Richards so called contracting business. We have a court ruling against him but not one of us has seen a cent. He has been charged and is on probation and can’t work in the construction trade so if anyones knows that he is , speak up and lets get this guy back where he belongs ( in jail ). His dad hangs out with him so nothing has changed …

Mary, you are such a liar. You should be in jail for the terrible things you say about people.

I live in Gilmour where the Gillingham family comes from. Several years ago, I contracted Richard Gillingham to renovate our cottage after we were hit by a tornado. He did almost no work at all and everything he did has since fallen apart.

Yes, he was working towards being a Minister in the Church and always went on a Wednesday for his teachings in Cloyne. The rest of the time, when he found excuses as to why he couldn’t come to work, (sore knees, bad weather, daughter sick, etc.) he was usually in N.Y. state working with his Father or, he was in Ottawa, also working with his Father.

These people have been involved in many companies, all of which didn’t survive; the only ones who did were Richard and his Father who walked away with millions of dollars from us unsuspecting people.

My family have been left in a state of destitution because of this man and his sweet words.

Richard is now sitting in jail in Napanee for 3 counts of fraud charges, 3 counts of “uttering false documents” (whatever that means), as well as one count of breach of probation. Apparently more charges are pending as more victims come forth.

Richard was looking to religion to raise money. Jim’s partner in Suffolk County & Massachusetts was just convicted 3-5 years on 24 counts.

Jim’s son Richard is in Cloyne. He had a construction business in Tweed for a while but didn’t even last a full year. Ripping too many people off. Using too many “twisted scriptures” trying to justify his ways.

Do the authorities know where Jim is hanging out? Is he still wanted on fraud charges?

I’m glad his son has found religion. Imagine the role model HE grew up with… keep an eye on that collection plate.

If you see Jimbo, tell him to contact Richard Quick, Esq. at Franworst.Com. I’ve got some great new businesses that can be run from anywhere… even prison.
