I would like to make others aware of a project taking place in Granbury, TX. I have had personal dealings with Robert Stapleton, and I assure you that he is not what he wants people to believe he is. Please do not give your money, time, or material to this scoundrel. If you have been victimized by Robert Stapleton help us warn others by adding to this post. Below are some additional posting that I located on two different websites.

Robert is by no means what people think at first. I have knowledge that he has not paid several people and is not to be trusted. He does not live up to his promises. He will gladly take your money and sponserships and use them for his own personal gains. He is not getting much money from Granbury Texas now because he is known for his bad reputation. The Veteran Falls would not have taken this long to be built if Robert had not let his ego get in the way and had not been so greedy. The vets are the ones that will be left out yet again.

Do not give money to this project! Robert Stapleton is a con artist that steals from people with a big heart. Do a little research and you will find out for yourself. That project was only to be a television show that would make him famous. After using and abusing his sponsors, he ran out of money, (using most of it for his own high standard of living). The only way to complete the job before being sued by the developers was to get people to “donate” money to him. The guy is a fake and a fraud. I personally think he is the devil in the flesh. It makes me sick to see someone take advantage of nice people with big hearts. The Fort Worth Star Telegram is currently writing a retraction to the free advertising article they wrote after receiving several emails from past victoms. Please research before helping this evil man!

____________________________________________________________________________________
I completely agree with the previous post. Robert Stapleton is a snake in the grass who prays on anyone or anything that either gets him money or attention. He cares more about money than anything else. He is a skilled and master manipulator who for years has claimed he was in the process of creating a show, The Robert Stapleton Show, about building Natural Waterfalls, for the purpose of enticing people to do and contribute free work/materials. He cons people into believing that he will give them exposure and advertising time on his show in exchange for the work and money that they do and give him. Unfortunately for the poor vendors, they end up doing all of the work and Stapleton pockets all of the profits. Since many people are now onto his scheme, he has now changed his pitch a little to he is filiming “pilot shows.” Scheme is still the same. He has no show! Besides, he is a complete raving lunatic that no one would ever want to work with. He craves to be in front of the camera and in front of an audience. He figured out that people love to be on TV, and he promises them that he will put them on his show and give them a discount on the price of his expensive work if they agree to allow them to “film” the unvieling. He also figures that the more exposure that he gets, the more credibility and dollars it brings him. The fact is that he DOES NOT HAVE A TV SHOW and only uses this as a marketing ploy. He has wormed his way in with a few small town public access channels (for free) to advertise with the same empty promisies of exposure for them “in the future.” The future has amounted to many years now.

Stapelton is originally from Colorado, where he filed bankrupcy and allegedly left a lot of people high and dry. He focuses his marketing efforts in wealthy, smaller cities. He talks like he is a Christian so that people let their guard down and trust in him. This way he is able to get in front of church groups to give presentations with the same BS about wanting to help people, blah, blah, blah. It is all hot air!

This project started out as being a waterfall project in the front of an upcoming neighborhood. Ken Hacket of Granbury hired Stapelton to do the project for 100K. Stapelton ran the same BS about how he would get tremendous exposure, and create a unique place for the homeowners. He told him he would give him over 250K of work for 100K paid up front (he always requires payment up front) if he would allow him to unviel the project on one of his non-exisistant TV shows plus have a huge unvieling party that the whole town and out of towners would attend. Ken paid him some money down and it was to be completed in several weeks (over a year ago). He had sales people in Grandbury soliciting businesses for the project using the same line in order to minimize His expenses and maximize profits. He offered to pay the sales people 25% of the money they collected from sponsors. He would keep the remaining 75%. He also promised to pay them for sponsors that they recruited based upon what the gave. He never paid them. He also created a school in which people would pay him to attend while they did “onsite training” at the project! What a hoot. These people were paying him thousands to work for free! What a smooth & fast talker. After running out of funds he created a new angle that would give him lots of publicity and more money. He sold Ken on the idea and how huge this would be and all of the exposure, blah, blah, blah. Ken is a good man and truly supports our troops. From that time forward he has milked this for every dime possible. He is a self promoter who craves the limelight and credibility. He called Fox News, he called Country Reporter. He moves from small town to small town. Another preferred marketing scheme he uses; going to land owners pretending that he is interested in purchasing land. Before they know it he is selling them on how their land would be so much more valuable and attractive if only they had one of his natural looking waterfalls on the property. Sound familiar Ken? All the while he is talking about what a God fearing Christian he is. This is to gain trust and lower their fear when he ask for payment up front. This man has victimized his employees by lying to them and having them do work with no payment, with broken promises and no payments to his ex business partner (Justin), and many others all in the name of fattening his pockets. My suggestion is to NOT GIVE HIM A DIME. I pray that more people will expose him for the true snake that he is. He is not what he pretends to be. BEWARE!

Just curious, does he own the land in Granbury? If not, why can't the city take control of the situation and not allow him/them to collect donations or to advertise on a location that he doesn't own? Isn't there a law against scammers where the website can be shut down? I don't know, I'm not an expert in the scamming busy, but I have been scammed and I don't like the feeling.

My wife and I met this guy at a recent show. Sounded like a good cause, was nice but he seemed shady to us. My wife did a little research before donating and in addition to what is here on this and several other sites there are more public records that are very telling. He has had many different addresses in several states, but we did not care to look into every address or state. Glad we checked ahead of time. Proceed with caution.

Here's a new low-even for the Stapleton's. After scamming others for the past three years he has the audacity to post the following on his scam site. By the way, just recently in October on their site, they claimed they were just a little short of funds for project completion and it would be finished in November. Of course with your financial support! November rolls around and here's their newest spin-play the sympathy card. First of all they use to live in a mobile home, second we are all well aware of why you are building the falls. Your own financial benefit. We're on to you! If you don't know about these traveling con-nivers, be wary!

Posted on their site Nov. 11, 2011:

"Fund raising has been difficult. We have been deceived and betrayed by people we trusted and believed in. We have even endured personal attacks on our character. There have been times when it all seemed like too much and I wanted to give up.. and then I think of why we are building Veteran Falls, who we are building it for and I have the strength to carry on. Yes, we have had sacrifice. Yes we gave up our home."

The only ones deceiving and betraying others are the Stapleton's! Isn't Karma great!

Too bad these people are still bamboozling sincere people that want to do something righteous for America's Vets. Most of us know the real reason why they are prolonging the completion of this project. People, please do not continue to put money into the pockets of these dregs of society. They have been making money off of people for over two years now in the name of our veterans. This project was suppose to have been completed in a few weeks after Robert Stapleton weasled his way into what was suppose to have been a one-hundred thousand dollar project with Mr. Hackett. Robert was paid at the beginning and now two years later, and many more dollars in his (and wife's) pockets and they still are coming up with excuses to take your money. Bottom feeders!

YOU guess need to get a class action fraud suit of some type filed in court and get him noticed by a judge for any criminal acts he may have committed.
When you say charity, you must be licensed for that. Non profit means non profit. No matter what.
If you volunteered to work for a company that is not really a non profit, you are owed some money and someone needs to go to jail.

This is hilarious! These [censored]es, the Stapleton's, have promised time-and-time again to have this water feature completed a long, long time ago. While Mr. [censored] is at every speaking platform in TX promoting himself and his services while he uses Vets Waterfalls to give himself credit. Hasn't it been two years now for this thing supposedly going to be built? Mr.& Mrs. Stapleton, haven't you profited enough taking peoples money to support your own deceitful life? When will you people decide that you have taken enough? Even those of us who believed your intentions were honest to begin with no longer believe that you are doing Vets Waterfall for the veterans. It does'nt take any [censored] this long and much money to finish this unless the [censored]es are doing it for the wrong reasons. How do you people sleep at night?

My name is David Artzt. My wife and I can be contacted at [protected] I have only been refered to this site today for the 1st time it is November 18, 2010 We were involved with Robert and Vickie Stapleton for much of the 2nd half of 2009 as both a volunteer and a for pay worker. We left the project with not a high opinion of Mr or Mrs Stapleton. But have resolved that the project is a worthy landmark and would be a valuable feature to The Town of Granbury. I as an honorably discharged Staff Sgt. in the U.S. Army I am proud of my service and that of all active and prior service members. I am not a fan of Mr Stapleton or the practice's that he uses to manage his business. I think that Ken Hackett should disassociate himself and the Developer involved in the Knox Ranch Project, from Robert Stapleton, it would be a big step in the communities rally of Veteran Falls. As to any statements that anyone seems to think that my wife or I have made since our departure from, Roberts V.F. project, we have made "no public statements"! This is the 1st! The only other statement that we have made was a personal email to Mr. Hackett regarding a particulary malicious statement that Mr. Stapleton was running on his website that was offensive and we urged Ken Hackett to have Robert remove same, which was accomplised that same day. Any unresolved issues that I or my wife have will be considered by us as lesson's learned and any monies in dispute we consider a donation to the Veteran Falls Project and do sincerely hope that it is completed and becomes a true monument to our Veterans. Some of the unsung heroes of this project have to be Dustin Wise who worked many many hours on V.F. (early on) also Kid (sorry that is all that I kow him by) also the crew that my wife and I put on the project from June through Sept or 2009 were great and we wish them much success in future endevers, Dan Ranca, Ben, Tom and Cody. Be proud of your involvement in V.F. no matter your feelings of Robert. This is our on Record Statement. Dave and Kari Artzt. 18 Nov 2010

It seems like there are a number of people being accused of warning people about Mr.Stapleton by Mr. Stapleton. So before he accuses me of being an ex employee, someone who has sued him, or anyone who he has had dealings with, I would like to clarify that I am none of those. Mr. Stapleton came into my business several years ago before he started working on this asking if he could show me some video of his show and wanting to put them in my store. He said that he had a TV program and could offer advertising on his show in exchange for service and materials. I felt that he had the demeanor of a crooked used car salesman so I told him I wouldn't be interested. I learned later that he never had any TV show. Mr.Stapleton tried to sucker me and other people I know into giving him service and material for free. This was before Mr.Stapleton became a resident here. He has sinced stopped talking about this phantom show and resorted to promoting Veteran Falls as his. Some got taken with this project. This feature that Mr.Stapleton is working on was started as a feature for a new neighborhood and had nothing to with our veterans. It angers me to see the Stapleton's around town talking about how they wanted to do this for our soldiers. Ken wanted to do something for our soldiers. He paid Mr.Stapleton a lot of money to do this and Mr.Stapleton has turned this into a publicity thing for himself. His own little money well. Seems the right thing to do would be to give Ken the due credit. Not the Stapleton's who are taking all the money and credit. Ken is a man with a good reputation and I'm sure he just wants this finished and be done with it, but the fact is that he did open a bank account that Mr.Stapleton does not have access to. Anyone who is thinking about giving the Stapleton's any money should think twice. Because he calls people cowards and accuses everyone of posting these warnings and gives his phone number does not mean that he is doing this with a honest heart. He has fooled a lot of people because he seems genuine and talks about being a christian man. Most con men are good with people and can convince people to trust them. My personal experience and several of my friends say otherwise. Give to your church or directly to Ken. It is my very strong opinion that Mr.Stapleton is a lying con man who uses people with good hearts. I personally would rather be called a coward any day rather than known as a lying con man. I personally wish this filth would leave town and allow Ken to take over the project. Chances are that it would get finished immediately once people know that the Stapleton's are out of the picture.

This reply is from Jim Steelman. I am a veteran and currently involved in fund raising efforts to help complete Veteran Falls. I was made aware of this complaint before starting our fund raising. I, too, spoke with the Grandbury Chamber of Commerce and was referred to Ken Hackett. I was assured by Mr. Hackett that the project is legitimate and nearing completion prior to getting involved. Mr. Hackett explained the plan for completion (and afterwards). I have met and spoken with the Stapleton's at length concerning this matter. I currently have no reason to doubt their sincerity when it comes to the completion of this project.

This message is from Robert and Vickie Stapleton. Anyone with questions or comments can contact us at veteranfalls@yahoo.com or through our office at [protected] or Robert's cell phone at [protected]. We have been open and honest in our responses to the fabricated "tall tales" listed here by cowards who will not reveal their real names or contact information. Ken Hackett, the developer in charge of Veteran Falls provided his full name and contact number, as did we. We have nothing to hide. So ask yourselves, what are the people who anonymously make these complaints trying to hide?

This reply is from Ken Hackett, the Developer in charge of the Veterans Falls project. I believe the above complaint and reply is by a Mr. David and Karen Artzt and they have never spoken to me about their angst toward Mr. Stapleton. Their characterization about my relationship with Robert and the reason I opened a new bank account is totally off base and without merit. Should anyone wish to speak to me regarding this matter, please contact me at [protected].

This is in response to Veteran Falls response from a removed posting from Republican Redefined Comments.

I stand 100 percent behind my posting on this site as well as RR which are true. I responded to the editors inquiry by saying that my statements are true and accurate and that Stapleton has also pulled the same shenanigans in Colorado where he filed bankrupcy and skipped town. I said that Stapleton is a dispicable human being who is doing a good thing from outward appearances, but his true intentions are very different. It is all about the money and publicity. True I used my home and office computers to post my comment and copy and paste what I found on another site, and since the editors inquiry was in my spam folder it did take me a little longer to respond. Big deal who hasn't used two computers? But I most certainly responded. Unfortunately, Stapleton is a quick talker and does a great job fooling some by covering his deceitful tracks. My posting and all of the others who know the real Stapleton's are meant as a warning to those who only see the actor in front of the room or on his self-made websites soliciting money from the unsuspecting. I love and support our vets, and always contribute to good causes. I most recently spoke to the chamber (Granbury), and without naming names was told that they are well aware of this character and do not support him, but like the cause. Though they refused to go on record as saying so. The land developer, Ken Hackett, who has threatened Stapelton with a lawsuit and to take over if this is not project is not completed soon, has been forced to open a dedicated bank account where Stapleton cannot get his filthy hands on the money sent to Ken Hackett for the project. Gotta ask yourself, if this guy is such a trusted good man, how come no one trust him? Why has he duped and cheated others from Colorado to New Mexico to Texas and who knows where else? Why are there so many claims about this being fininshed, that he and his wife would complete this by themselves if necessary by the end of spring or summer, and yet nothing has progressed? You have to answer the first two questions for yourself. The answer to the last question is simple. He wants to perpetuate his earnings and perceived reputation. Do not be fooled.

I think that's very interesting. I worked for Mr. Stapleton for a brief period of just 2 months. At the time I responed to his post on Craigslist for a Marketing postion. I was between jobs at the time and needed work, so I applied. During my interview in Granbury Mr. Stapleton was very upfront with me about his intentions. He did mention that he was in it for profit. I was actually to recieve a portion of the donations that I personally had delivered to his organization. I did agree to the terms, and was hired by Mr. Stapleton straightaway to assist with his marketing endeavours.

Long story short, I worked very hard and a lot of long hours to help to get his company message out there. In return I received little to no compensation aside from a tank of gas, and a nice meal. I am not complaining about the meal because it was good, and the tank of gas because it was 75 miles each way for me.

I don't wish to complain about Mr. Stapleton or his cause, for it's intentions seem noble. But from my brief experiences with the Stapleton's I am not too sure that they mean what they say. I wanted to keep working with them, but had to support my family. When I told them that I found a paying job, and still wished to help. I could no longer get a hold of them. That was interesting because prior to me getting this paying job, I would hear from Mr. Stapleton at least 2-3 times a day.

As a general rule I do not share email addresses but considering the defamatory nature of these I will share them with you. That said, both were posted from different IP addresses - so different computer locations - and there is no verification method for confirming that any email was actually sent from its true owner... That said, this is the email address.. ( email address removed for privacy)

The comments originated from these locations. I hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of further assistance

Here are some other comments that were left at scam.com. I am not an ex-employee either. This is just another excuse that Robert Stapleton is using in an attempt to cover his history of lying and deceiving others. You may notice that he has removed the link which proves what one of the previous postings spoke of. Of course, I'm sure the lawsuits that are posted are his ex-employees fault also. Robert Stapleton has lived all over Colorado and several other cities. The lawsuits below are just from his short stay in Lamar County, Tx.

Re: Robert Stapleton, Veteran Falls

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I totally agree w/everything that has been posted! My company has had personal experiences w/Robert Stapleton. And yes, he still owes my business money. He is tricky and makes promises that he doesnt keep. I even hired a lawyer to sue him for the money that he owes us, and my lawyer was already handling another case against him also. I was advised by my lawyer that Robert was a shady character and it would cost me more to drag him thru court than it was worth. So I will never get the money he owes me! Nor will anyone else he owes. His name was in the Lamar County clerks report last month for owing back taxes! he doesnt pay anyone. He will lie and cheat anyone. He reported on his website last summer that he was unable to complete the Veteran Falls project in Granbury because they had been robbed. he said the theives took everything..all tools and equipment. Funny thing about that is the next weekend good old Robert was in Paris at his old "*****fall Center" property having a HUGE sale. Alot of people went out there and said tools, shovels, and equipment were out there for sale. He preys on people like a vulture! dont be his victim. He will leave Granbury soon just like he has every other town. And yes, he will start all over in a new town and perform his act all over again. I seriously wish, someone would expose his tricks!

Robert Stapleton, Veteran Falls, Natural *****fall

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Local Business, I am so sorry to hear about you and the others who have been victimized by this man. He almost got my family but thank goodness we called around first. We spoke to JW Contractors, his so called title sponsor, and they confirmed what people are learning about Robert Stapleton. They want nothing more to do with him. Several "sponsors" claim that they never sponsored anything but expressed that they liked the project. Some don't even recall any involvment with him. In hindsight they believe he was just using their names in order to appear legit.

Local Business, we can expose this man by telling others! There is a special place that awaits these types.

The devil didn't move to GA, he moved to TX!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is one of his self promoting sites that people are talking about. You're right, he talks about creating this feature "to be filmed for an upcoming episode of the show", Natural *****falls with Robert Stapleton. He doesn't have a TV show!? Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky, and just downright deceiving. The site says that the project begins on April 27, 2009 and will be unveiled on May 17, 2009. Three weeks. Well he has certainly passed that deadline! I guess he found another angle to perpetuate his earnings.

Has anyone researched why he left Colorado? I hear he tells people "God led him" to Tx. Did he do the same thing to people in Colorado and that's why he left?

It sickens me to see his new website with pictures of 911 America under attack, solider coffins draped with American Flags, and KIA soldier family members crying at funerals. It is so clearly obvious what he is trying to do. He is playing on peoples strong emotions and feelings in order to solicit money. Sicko!

Ran across this ad Robert recently placed. He claims he has no money but he is trying to hire someone to promote him and solicit money for his "growing" business. "Creative Marketing" is an understatement. Probably has no intention of paying them either.

Im not an ex-employee, I am a company owner. We have been in business for over 13 years. We were hired by Robert Stapleton and did not get paid all the money he owed us. He DOES scam people by promising airtime on his fake TV show. He takes money and does not complete the projects. I know of a dozen business's in Paris that have nothing good to say about this man and his shady business tactics. He claimed all his equipment in Granbery was stolen but he had a big yard sale in Paris and that "stolen" equipment was there for sale. This man is a smooth talker and plays the honest christian but he is not! Dont be taken in and made a fool of by a Robert Stapleton scam.

I am Robert Stapleton. This is an ex-employee with an ax to grind, who obviously has nothing better to do with their time. We are praying for them and ask that you pray that they are able to overcome this bitterness and move forward with their lives. Veteran Falls is a worthy cause.
