Andrew, I would have worked with you on this, but you will not return messages or even
own up to your mistakes. When you screw over people who called you "friend", you have to
expect some of them to not take it lightly. Before you folks read this post, keep in mind that
my fiance and myself are among the ones who were ripped off.
PLEASE SHARE & CROSS POST
We are trying to locate the current contact information (address, phone numbers, etc.) for Andrew Beckham (Real name Andrew Grossweiler). Andrew Beckham is a self-proclaimed paranormal expert who has operated out of the Spartanburg, South Carolina area and more recently in the Chicago, Illinois and North Western Indiana area under his alias and the team name of SPI (Southeast Paranormal Investigators -
www.spi-spi.com ) He could also be in the Massilion, Ohio area where his ex-wife may still reside or from other reports the Fort Wayne, IN area.
More recently this person organized a paranormal conference in the Cincinnati, OH area called "Extreme Paracon" (
www.extremeparacon.com ) which was originally slated to take place in October and then rescheduled for December before ultimately being canceled.
In a nutshell, Mr. Beckham (Grossweiler) collected money from various individuals who purchased tickets and expensive packages which included hotel rooms for this event and has not refunded any money back to them. This includes some individuals from the organization I belong to (Paranormal Task Force -
www.catchmyghost.com ) as well. After being contacted by some of these individuals, he then changed his phone numbers and has went into hiding from the at large paranormal community. More information concerning the situation surrounding this conference can be found on the SciFake website at

It saddens me to see people like this who, in my honest opinion, fraudulently deceive others then basically steal their hard earned money through such actions. It is individuals such as this that tarnish the entire paranormal field and cause others not to attend any future paranormal related events. If you have any further information concerning this Mr. Beckham (Grossweiler) and/or if you also became a victim to his actions then please email us at
admin@paranormaltaskforce.com so we can get everyone in contact with one another to pursue a collective group effort concerning refunds and/or other appropriate legal action.
Update: After being contacted by others (including several past girfriends of his) concerning this individual, it appears that he has a long history of "taking advantage of others" through deceit and fabricated stories. Most recent reports places him the the Fort Wayne, Indiana area at this time. He also uses supposed wine tasting and cooking skills as well to lure in new girlfriends and others which he can take advantage of. There are also other events in which he was involved where people did not get refunds. We were told by some that he has lived with that upon receipt of payments for some events, that he would run out with the money to support his smoking and drinking needs. Furthermore, if he talks about his big televison show and other paranormal icons that he personally knows, etc. then you can assume these stories are not fact as well.
