(Hoaxer) Bob Garrett
The information posted here is from various sources, it illustrates Bob Garrett taking money from people for "expeditions" then refusing to return the money when it was all shut down. Some videos are about the "Torn-up Camp" incident in which Bob tried to claim Bigfoot attacked a camp full of people who left their belongings behind. A final video also shows how he damaged loaned equipment sent to him and some of the lies he told to get out of being held obligated to pay for repairs.
Now I know there will be many who question why the folks I am about to write about even trusted anyone to send the amount of money to that they did, but the truth of the matter is this, this was a very detailed and elaborate con game that was perpetrated on them. And I'm sure that there are other folks out there that have been caught up with this same con game.
It actually started when Bob Garrett came crashing onto the Bigfoot radar scope about 2015 with his fanciful story of finding a campsite ransacked by Bigfoot and that the authorities were trying to shut him down over it. This made him a Bigfoot celebrity for a little while, and because of the monetizing of Sasquatch Chronicles, they embraced and ran with Bob Garrett's story.
Because of Sasquatch Chronicles, they perpetuated Bob as this great Bigfoot researcher down in Texas and even began promoting a cross-over Bigfoot Expedition program down in the Big Thicket. To this, I think that Sasquatch Chronicles is implicit in helping Bob Garrett reaching out to more victims. Whether Sasquatch Chronicles is complicit in the con game or not, remains to be seen or proven either way.
A company was set up in Texas called The Big Thicket Watch Guide Service, LLC on January 16, 2016. This gave them even more credibility in the eyes of those they were advertising too. They began advertising paid expeditions to the Big Thicket, with no guarantees of a sighting, but guarantees of hearing vocalizations.
A husband and wife decided they wanted to go on one of this expeditions, and paid to attend the expeditions. They were instructed to send the money by PayPal to Robert Garrett, which PayPal says was collected by Robert Garrett.
Shortly after the money was collected, Bob Garrett suddenly claimed that the Feds had showed up at one of their expedition camps and shut down the entire operation.
The husband and wife began contacting Bob and others involved to get their money refunded. What happened now was a series of run arounds, finger pointing and outright no return calls by those who were running the Big Thicket Watch Guide service.
To this date, several people associated with this entire affair have dropped off Facebook, and have not returned messages left for them. The husband and wife have been advised by a lawyer to file charges against all those involved.
Now I am working with another researcher to uncover more information related to this, but I am also asking for help from the Coalition and Hoaxers Exposed 2.0 members to help us find more information to help this couple get their money back.

An investigation by Bigfoot Anarchy Blog followed that exposed a lot of wholes in Bob Garrett's affirmation that this was caused by a Bigfoot.
An individual who went by the nickname Maximus Decimus Meridius posted about how Bob Garrett and his associates had destroyed and stole thermal equipment that he had sent to them to use on the stipulations that the results would be shared and that the equipment taken care of and returned when it was asked of them to send it back. First is the numerous text messages that went back and forth, and then a video where Maximus Decimus Meridius explained and shows what damage was done to the equipment before he was able to retrieve some of it back.
