Dr. Jay Sherbondy: Con Man, Convicted Felon
Jay Sherbondy Exposed
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. " - Edmund Burke
The following information has been posted with the goal of assisting anyone that may have the misfortune of crossing paths with a man that goes by the name of Dr. Jay Sherbondy.
Dr. Jay Sherbondy (real name: Harry Jay Sherbondy, Jr.) is a con man, residing in Las Vegas, NV, who was convicted on seven counts of fraud and sent to federal prison for 6 1/2 years. He is currently out on parole but back up to his old tricks. In conversation he tries to whitewash his fraud convictions as "trouble with the IRS for tax evasion." Harry J. Sherbondy was released from prison on 12/14/2001 (Source: www.bop.gov).
[NOTE: Convicted felons cannot have passports. Jay Sherbondy is not allowed to have a bank account of any type. Felons on parole cannot associate with other felons. The Prison Ministry system is enabling this by educating them on the inside and providing a framework for communication / support on the outside - it could be unintentional, but it is occurring. He must have a real job and is using the sale of Travel Certificates as verification that he has a job.]
Jay Sherbondy regularly lies about a wide range of issues. His lying is so frequent and pervasive it could be considered pathological. He makes outlandish claims about his personal wealth ("I make $5 million per year", "I have more money than I could ever spend," "I used to own a jet," etc.) yet he drives an older maroon Mitsubishi Eclipse (which he claims is "a company car" -- actually owned by his sister, Nancy Sherbony-Capron-Benton who is either a partner in crime or one of the best enablers of this century), uses an old cellphone (once again compliments of his sister who retired from Sprint), dresses poorly, and arranges meetings at a local Starbucks where he doesn't even purchase a coffee. He used to arrange meetings at the Tuscany Hotel & Casino poolside outdoor tables, and bought nothing there either. He nonchalantly made a statement to one person that his wife and two girls were killed in a car accident, then told another person that he invests much of his money in real estate through his daughter, who he claims works in the mortgage industry in Las Vegas.

Is this the car of a multi-millionaire?In reality Jay Sherbondy has two former wives - both alive and living out of state. He has 2 daughters by his first marriage. His second wife's daughter was killed in a car accident before she even met him. At the beginning of 2004, both daughters lived in Las Vegas. Both were working in the mortgage industry. The older daughter knowingly and wittingly participates in her father's scams, the younger one at that time wanted to escape and go far away to nursing school.
Dr. Jay Sherbondy is a highly manipulative smooth talker, but make no mistake: he is a liar and a criminal.
To report criminal activity related to Jay Sherbondy, please contact Probation Office Henry Stegman, State of Nevada Department of Public Safety, Parole and Probation Division, at (702) 388-6588. Jay Sherbondy has an upcoming parole hearing in Las Vegas, NV.
Global Reach International, Ltd.
Jay Sherbondy most recently is orchestrating his scams under the guise of "Global Reach International, Ltd.," which he often describes as a huge global company with thousands of employees. Interestingly, this supposedly global organization with "thousands of employees" and a "legal department" operates out of a small house at 9034 W. Rochelle Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89147-7899, phone: 702-877-2420.
In reality, Global Reach was set up in 2004 and amounts to little more than Jay Sherbondy, his associate/girlfriend/partner-in-crime Margaret "Peggy" Smith (the "President and CEO" of Global Reach, who also happens to own and reside in the house on Rochelle Ave.), and whichever website designer he is scamming at the time. The company was set up with everything in Peggy Smith's name. The Rochelle Ave. address is also Jay Sherbondy's current residence, and is located less than 1 mile from his preferred Starbuck's meeting place on Flamingo and Durango.
Peggy Smith lived with her husband in the house on Rochelle until he died a couple of years ago. Jay Sherbondy met Peggy when she was distraught and in therapy over the loss of her husband and quickly set up camp.
In summary, Jay Sherbondy and Margaret "Peggy" Smith operate "Global Reach International, Ltd." out of a small (approximately 1980 sq. ft., 4 bedroom, 3 bath) house at 9034 W. Rochelle Ave. in Las Vegas. We verified with Clark County records that this house is owned by Margaret M. Smith and by the Secretary of State that Global Reach International, Ltd. was started August 14, 2004 and is owned by Peggy Smith (aka Margaret M. Murphy-Smith).

Harry Jay Sherbondy, Jr. does nothing in his own name and just bullys others into leveraging whatever resources they may have into his service or wherever he thinks he can make the fastest buck. He gets very emotionally and verbally abusive whenever people don't spend their money/credit to participate in what he wants. Coerced participation has included: gifting programs, couponing, montisizing, mortgage elimination, AdPac (legit - a very nice man operates this in Las Vegas), private investigation, REIT's (Real Estate Investment Trusts), setup of corporation soles (with bank accounts) - template was stolen. He tries to get others to use their merchant accounts for whatever it is he wants to sell, or has used "authorize.net" in the past. He takes other people's networks, address books, etc., and works them.
Global Reach's fictitious Florida-based "legal department" is, in reality, in the case of a recent contract, a web-based legal service called LegalMatch.com (based in San Francisco). A recent Global Reach contract in our possession is based on a template from LegalMatch.com, and was authored by Dmitry Shubov. The point is Global Reach has no "legal department." Jay Sherbondy also buys travel certificates out of Florida.
Jay Sherbondy and Margaret "Peggy" Smith also operate websites such as "www.blastpak.com", "www.cyberpakoptin.com" and "http://theolegions.spreadtheword.com", and are involved in dozens of so-called internet affiliate marketing programs (the internet version of multi-level marketing) such as "www.immunotec.com/globalreach/page.asp", and "www.goldrushusa.com".

Author of Two Dozen Books?
Jay Sherbondy's claims to have published between seven and "over two dozen" books, depending on which of his website posts you are looking at. This is also a lie. Our extensive search yielded only one published book, titled "Addictions," which was self-published with Authorhouse. From the Authorhouse website:
"Since 1997, AuthorHouse, the leading self-publishing company in the world, has helped authors achieve their book publishing goals."In other words, Jay Sherbondy paid a publishing company in order to get his one book in print. His other works, all unpublished, in some cases amount to little more than pamphlets.[Results of searches for author "Jay Sherbondy": Amazon.com: 1 book, 0 reviews; Barnes & Noble.com: 1 book, 0 reviews; Bestprices.com: 1 book; UNLV Library: 0 books, Las Vegas Public Library: 0 books, Henderon Public Library: 0 books]
Wolf In Sheep's Clothing
Jay Sherbondy uses the guise of being a Christian to dupe people into believing he is a moral person. He condems the actions of others to give himself an air of moral superiority. Don't fall for it. He lies almost constantly, cheats people out of money, fails to provide payment for services rendered, and fails to deliver services he has been compensated for.
Jay Sherbondy takes other people's real, traumatic life events, puts a spin on them, and regurgitates them as his own. His mother was born in Buffalo, NY, and died in May 2001 while Jay was in prison. His father, a private security guard, who Jay claims had brain surgery, in fact never did. Jay may have grown up in L.A., and his social security number was not issued until 1965. Jay has never performed on stage in his life, including comedy, psychology, or his so-called "Fit for Love" workshops. He mocked a demo tape by reading off cue cards, claiming he is a renowned speaker. Jay even claims to own a dog named Tuffy, which actually belongs to his sister.
Fraudulent Educational Background
As for his education, Jay Sherbondy does not actually have a Ph.D. (in anything). However, we have used the title "Dr." to aid people in locating this document, as this is how he refers to himself. He is often referred to as a "Psychologist" on websites marketing his book, however he does not have a degree in Psychology. We've uncovered information that leads us to believe that Harry Jay Sherbondy, Jr. has no formal college education whatsover, and he may not even have graduated from high school.
