Luckily this con man didn’t get much money from me but definitely a rapist as well. Somebody please give a heads up as to when he gets released...

Met Scott several years ago at a rare singles event I would have attended out of boredom. Was not impressed at all, and he wasn't with me, it was obvious. The I run into him again and we talk about the business and I tell him I am broke, can't invest what I don't have and he offers me a job. We talk about it off and on, and I finally agree to go play poker at his partner's house. He tells me a time, not too early, and when I arrive, it's a nice family home with kids, so I go inside and hang out. He acts like I am a date, wants me to sit on his lap, and they won't even let me in the game which had been going on for a while, i could tell by the size of the chip stacks. When I tell Scott that I am leaving, say good night to everyone (a wasted bottle of wine being civilized) he walks me to the door and says, "I'm in socks, so I have to kiss you goodnight here" and I just turn my back on him and walk away. I hear him say, "That ##### be crazy" and laugh to myself as I drive away having dodged the most deadly bullet of my life.

Well I had the displeasure of meeting Scott back in 04 and finally got away from in 05 after his threatening me that I better give him money. I can't believe he finally got what he deserved.

I met Scott while I was using a payphone. Freaking ### tried to scam me out of my Mercedes S-500 that I had at the time and he tried to steal my house! He told me he could make me famous and blah, blah! This man deserves more than 20 years! Its crazy how close I came to being scammed. He even tried to get me drunk and kiss me but I pushed him away which made him angry. I could tell he was an angry, violent person. I'm so glad I never drove up to Orlando to stay at his mansion to get pictures done. He probably would have raped or killed me. Freaking ###! I told him all the stuff that had happened to me and he played on that and even was preying on me, stalking me and harassing my friend and I at the time. This is the best news I have heard about him, knowing he's locked up for 20 years gives me pleasure.

Scott deserved everything he got. If you had a good relationship with him then you are the minority and not the majority, I assure you. I had the misfortune of meeting him outside a casino after a night of drinking and he convinced me to invite him back to my hotel room to talk about his record company. He followed me back to my hotel and hid out in the back of the bar watching me. While I was waiting on him, I was talking with my friend who was the bartender and told her that I had met this guy and was nervous about him. I told her that if I felt uneasy and gave her the signal that she was to come and rescue me. He sat and listened to the conversation and then proceeded to get mad and came up to me and told me that he had heard the conversation and threw his business card at me and told me that he just wanted to talk to me about his company and proceeded to leave. I thought he had left, but apparently he just went and hid in the lobby. I left and went back to my room and he then started calling my room asking for me to forgive him and let him come up. I told him no, but he keep calling and calling. A little while later I get a knock on my door and it was him. I have no idea how he got my room number. He must have bribed someone at the front desk for it. I stupidly let him in. He started talking to me all the while giving me wine until I was good and drunk. He asked me about my 401k, my credit card limits trying to tell me that I had money to invest with him and that he would double my money come spring. I told him that I would think about it. We ended up sleeping together that night and when he left I thought it was over, but no. He proceeded to call me the next morning hounding me to invest while I was at work. I again kept saying no. I just wanted him to leave me alone. He proceeded to keep calling me over the next several weeks while I was out of town on business and wanted to "Hook up" with me. While I was on a trip to Gainesville, he showed up and spied on me while I was at the bar all the time never telling me he was there. Later when I left I found him sitting outside of my hotel room. Again I have no idea how he got that information. I again was drunk and he took advantage of that fact. While I was in the shower, he proceeded to go through my purse and took a picture of my drivers license and got my husband cell phone number. I know this because weeks later he called me and told me that he wanted the $3000 dollars that I apparently told him I would give him that night. I have no memory of that at all. I told him that I didn't have that kind of money to give him and when I stopped answering my phone he left me nasty messaged and threatened to contact my husband and them proceeded to send me a video of that night in the hotel room that he apparently taped with out my knowledge and said that if I didn't give him the money that he would send it to my husband. He also said that he knew where I lived and texted me a picture of my drivers license. I was so scared of what he might do, I had to go to the bank and take out a lo** to wire him the money. I thought he would leave me alone after that, but he didn't. When it was all said and done, I ended up giving him $11, 000, just so he would leave me alone. He blackmailed me to get me to invest with him. Now if you still think that he is a good person and that we are in the wrong, then you are delusional. There are not enough words to express what this man is. I wasn't looking for love from this man and my one night stand ended up costing me $11, 000 dollars. If it hadn't been for the fact that I didn't want to ruin my marriage, I would have been on the stand and given my version of the story and maybe he would have gotten the maximum 30 years that he actually deserves.

I'm very embarrassed to open up about this event in my past. I was 17 1/2 at the time about 2 months away from being 18. I was driving on the road and wanted to cross over a busy street but nobody was letting me pass until he came around. His slick ways he told me "your not getting away that easy." I took one look at his fake tour bus with logo on it along with his outspoken personality and fell for his cr**. Now granted, I was very young, a single mother, struggling to make it by, and very naive at the time. He was very confident with his charming abilities to win people over. This is was the start of what I would consider a groupie type of relationship. I was pretty weak minded at the time. He showed me his studio and then convinced me while I was in his office to clean his nasty a** house, ferret sh** and all, mowing the grass, mopping, reta**ed sh**. I didn't have any money at the time so he tried getting everything else out of me. I used to hate my body and he told me what I wanted to hear. He would get me drunk and have me sleep with his artists. Then one day, after a few drinks, he tried himself on me. I was drunk but still able to realize I didn't want that fat ugly loser on me, I kept saying no but that wasn't an answer he would take. This gets bad, he raped he anally at 18 years old. I cried so hard and never looked back. I've been emotionally closed off since then. I cannot date or open up to others, like I had used to. I hope someone learns from this experience. Follow the red flags your intuition, and logic. Don't be as gullible, as I was.

Well, I don't know if you ever did the show or not but if you didn't I have been the closest person to Scott and know everything in detailed from the good bad and the ugly. I was one of his top promising Artist and met him 23 years ago in New York at a Network event for talent at a Marriot and at the time I had a lot of labels interested in me cause I just graduated from Fulsail University so on top of my music talents I also had the ability to mix n master and run a professional studio. Well, he told me to give him a year and he will have one built and I could pick out all the equipment and in a year he called me flew me to Kissimmee, Fl, and had the studio built and ready for me to set it up and put the equipment in and this deep one in a life tume story begins but just to tell you the truth Scott is a piece of [censored] and can get nasty when he talks down to people who are less fortunate but one thing he is not is a thief cause I was the one who was buying the equipemtn n what we needed if this was to be a real record label and a lot of these women would get upset cause they thought he was their boy toy after giving him money and sleeping with him [censored] numerous men at once at the crazy parties we through and as soon as he couldn't spend personal time cause hello we are trying to make this happen and if all thats going to happen is sex and parties this is not going to work. So out of spot they'll say give me my money back knowing it was spent and where it was spent cause we had all reciepts and the domino effect began with all of them saying he stole my money and I can tell you this as much money me and him had recieved starting from 2003 when I got to Fl. is over the millions and if we really were to rob and steal from them [censored] parties n building a studio we would of hualed [censored] to another country and dissappeared. Message me at Freddyamendez2018@Gmail.com if you want absolute truth. That is my real name that only Scott new and my personal name but over there everyone knew me as my artist name which I will not say at the moment cause I'm about to finally drop my debut Album with Roc Nation Records and was just on the Funk Master Flex Show but I can look anyone of these people in their eyes and you will see how I speak nothing but the truth and all of them loved me. So, if any one got robbed it was me cause i was the only one who put in the time and work trying to make there dream happen while they played Soap Opera cause thats what it was!

I meet him on a dating web site. He called me and we talked for a few days. Seemed to be nice and I thought he had his life together. He was a big bragger that honestly I hate...but I thought maybe a face to face meeting this would change that. After all that bragging, he picked me up in a run down gold tone pick up truck. He played Little Wayne on this DVD screen he had set up in a truck that I was expecting to break down at any moment. He talked a huge talk about his business and within only days, he was already on me about how much money I had in my 401K. He said he only liked to help single women like me and wanted me to invest right away. RED FLAG with this guy ! First, where was the sports car? Pictures on the internet mean nothing...this guy is a scammer. As soon as I spoke to him about my brother coming to our little investment meeting he became very angry. ANOTHER RED FLAG ! This guy is a sick creep. Not only did he try to get my money, he wanted me to have sex with him. I get out of this situation and for days, never returned his calls. He finally went away...on to the next victim. He should really be locked up. What a true con-man !

I unfortunately worked for scott doing some consulting work for a couple years. After two years I was invited to move to FL from out of state to work for him full time. I was there roughly three months and in that three months I witnessed much of what these women have said and I quit and left as soon as I was financially able to get out of my lease and move everything I had back out of state. I see that since many of these postings were created he has been arrested. I don't know if anyone is involved with case or what the current status is, but I have quite a bit of files and correspondence I saved for safe keeping because he did threaten me when I left.
I did nothing at the time because Mr. Campbell made sure my reputation was discredited to everyone he was in association with when I decided to leave his "company".

I met Scott on the Carnival Dream cruise ship in December of 2010. He had his "personal assistant" Bianca with him...interestingly enough, they shared a room which was odd since he supposedly had all this money and flaunted it. I thought it was strange that he wore the same clothes over and over during the 7 day cruise! He acted interested in me, but I felt that something just wasn't right! In fact, he seem to be gay to me, but he sure was hitting on me hard. He asked questions about how much money I had in savings, 401K, etc. Said he wanted to make me rich so I could enjoy the lifestyle he had along with him. He tried to bully me in investing in his company and handing over my 401K and savings. When I refused he got angry and belligerent! Total ###! Blew him off and never spoke to him again! Ladies...get it together! If it's too good to be true, IT'S A SCAM! Scott Campbell is a piece of ###! ~ Celia from the Dream!

Out on bail as of 6/14/2013. There was a bail reduction hearing which got the bail reduced to $250, 000; Really with that he has taken from everyone, he should have had $500, 000 around doing nothing. Especially, since he made more in a week that most people make in a year.

My name is Caroline and I am not Scott. First of all I have never begged a man to sleep with me and I hope you ladies did not do this hoping something was going to come out of it. Second of all I have known him for a long time and would have gladly invested in his company if I could have but like I said I am going through a hard time financially. He invested in my company because he believes in me not because he wanted anything out of me. Investing in a company requires patience and knowing that you are taking a risk. He is a caring and compassionate person who has always been upfront and honest with everyone. I also believe it is better to talk it out and communicate with him rather than prosecute him. It will not do anyone any good.

You want compassion Scott? Did you show these ladies compassion while stealing their money. Why don't you sell that imaginary million dollar yacht and pay them back. Maybe your Asian office or your European office can come up with the money. Why not get rid of the tour bus that doesn't exist.? Even if these woman had compassion for you it does not matter. The crimes have already been committed and law enforcement is required to prosecute. Hey Angel (Scott) Why weren't you able to invest in his wonderful company? Did you beg him to sleep with you and he refused? How did he help to build your business? Did he teach you how to go on dating sites and scam men out of their money? After all that is Scott's business plan. Give it up Scott. It's OVER! Bubba is waiting for you in jail and he doesn't care if your not interested in him sexually! OUCH!

To: AngelBallerina - "He has not run away and is not planning to run away from the law. In fact he is willing to work with anyone to resolve this situation."

Then why hasn't he turned himself in to the law yet? There is an active warrant out for his arrest. Turn yourself in - that is the way to resolve this situation... If he hasn't turned himself in, then he IS running from the law... He has been doing this for YEARS now - I'm sure the federal government has way more information on him than you do... You are just another pawn in his scheme - he is just biding his time to find a way to get into your money...or your loyalty to then do "something" for him...

I did not meet Scott on a dating site but in fact met him at a Lowe’s store. No I was not able to invest in his company but that did not stop him from helping me out when I was going through a very hard time in my life. He even helped to build my business and is always helping people in need and lifting their spirits. To those who feel they were scammed: I know you must feel angry but you are doing damage to your investments by slandering him and trying to ruin what he has started. Please work with him to turn this around instead of sending him to jail. To the person who started this complaint: Please take compassion and reverse this situation. He has had a lot of setbacks. I have seen the construction of the recording studio and know firsthand that he is passionate about the music business so please give him a second chance. No I am not Scott and I do not know where he is but I do know that he is still answering his phone. He has not run away and is not planning to run away from the law. In fact he is willing to work with anyone to resolve this situation. God loves us unconditionally and gives us second chances to make things right so can we do the same and see what happens...
