So as we all suspected Mr. Robert Basil is following this thread. My posting of emails to the CBS 5 AZ may have hurt our cause, or it may actually be helping. I will leave it up to the group to decide.
From CBS 5 investigative reporter:
No problem, we can communicate via email. I received an email from Robert Basil, I have not reached out to him, any idea how he got wind?
My Reply:
Edward,
It is apparent that he is following the Wayalife forum thread that has exposed him. As the members of that off road forum discover disparaging info on him, he is quick to make changes to any and/or all of his social media accounts. He was aware that one of the Phoenix residents, like myself, that are members of Wayalife.com were going to take action with your station. So once again it was proven that he has something to hide by his quick actions to change any past evidence that may prove incriminating.
Even if you are unable to uncover any wrong doing by Mr. Robert Basil, I believe the simple fact that he has reached out to you for whatever reason is sufficient enough proof for those of us concerned about his possible Veteran scam has him very worried about being publicly exposed.
Any part of his digital signature on social media sites that the members of Wayalife continue to find, shows he has been jumping from one 'flash in the pan’ idea after another. We are all in agreement that there is nothing wrong with an entrepreneurial spirit, however the Veteran’s Charity piece of this story is about as low as an individual can go as that plays off the sympathy of every ethical and morally sound American citizen.
Once again, I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to look into this for everyone of us concerned.

LOL!! Robert Basil preemptively contacted CBS 5? Did the reporter happen to say what was said? Oh wait, better not post it up on here as I'm sure Robert is reading this now.
Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Man, you just can't make this stuff up!
Okay, this was originally posted by another member but removed due to the fact that it clearly displayed Robert Basil's home address. But, given the circumstances and the fact that he's deleting everything on the internet, I though I would post this (edited) screen shot of the FB page he created for his house called "The Basil House"....

I mean, who creates a FB page for their house? Also, why get so pissed off that your address gets posted up on a forum when YOU HAVE IT POSTED CLEARLY AND AVAILABLE FOR ALL TO SEE ON FACEBOOK :naw:
The link is new. And, if you look at it, you'll see that the only thing he claims to have done with both the Scion and now his JK (both built up with the help of sponsors) is "attend" events and "hand out fliers". Any mention regarding how much he used to say he raised for them has conveniently been left out. NO mention has been made regarding the "donations" he's personally collected or where that money went. :naw:
He still has how much he has collected on his site.

The events have raised over $500,000. Not fallenheroesjeep.com. He just attended those events.
Yep. Mr. Basil may be a lot of things, but stupid is not one of them. He has been very careful in his choice of words and one must be very careful reading and interpreting those words. Words matter, and Mr. Basil clearly knows as much.
Please do not post up this guy's personal address, phone number, or contact info.
It isn't necessary and we don't want to be "that" forum.
Anyone with any modicum of internet savvy will have no issue finding this guy's life story on the public domain (which should be a teaching point to everyone here).
Throw me a bone here. How does one get on this internet of which you speak? :idontknow:
I just wish he signed up to be a member here so that we could ban his IP. That would throw him for a loop. :cheesy: he would have to go to the public library where he worked to get more info. :cheesy:
