I did some searching for you all on Lexis-Nexis.

I looked for the most relevent entries and I was able to find a judgement in Maryland against both an Edna G. Ruffin and a Kenneth J. Ruffin. The debtors address is listed as:
JEROME K RUFFIN
11307 B GOLDEN EAGLE PL
WALDORF, MD 20603
The case was filed in Charles County Maryland district court by creditor MILLBROOK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC.
The document or case number is 0402-002645-2002 and the vendor number is DC-00002645-2002.
Assuming they are using real names and not aliases or a stolen identity, I found quite a few hits searching the Lexis public records judgement database for Edna, Jerome and/or Kenneth Ruffin. The search for Kenneth Ruffin alone resulted in 96 judgements. However, It's a fairly common name, so I'm sure they were not all for the same Ken Ruffin. I would have downloaded more records for you, but the searches cost four dollars each and I don't have enough info to be sure these are the same Ruffins. Also, according to the Lexis terms of service, I can't just copy the information to send to someone else. That is why I included the case and vendor numbers so either you or the police can look up the exact judgement.
Hopefully, the police will be able to use this to find more info to stop these people. I have a feeling after looking through these records that this is not the only time these people have ripped someone off. There are quite a few judgements against people with these names in NJ, VA LA, GA, CA .
Good luck to you all! If I can be of any help, please pm me and please don't let idiots like this sour you on the forums. There are some great folks here."

I called the court house, spoke to a clerk about this case and found it had been resolved. But she cross-referenced the name and found another one that hadn't. Called the attorney handling it and was told that the Fayetteville address was on record but they assumed it to be no good as mail was returned to them from it.
Donna may attempt to locate any other unsatisfied judgements against the Ruffins (Kenneth, Jerome, Kevin, Edna) and if so, I'll contact the agency with events here.
Hopefully, we can get the law after these people for interstate fraud as well as local and CU scams! Gotta be some local, state, federal agency looking for them!!!

I believe you are talking about my brothers and their wives. Let me know if there is any way I can help you in finding them.

O ok. I know my brothers and their wives have done many people wrong and seem to keep getting away with it. Sad.
I just found this whole thing or I could have told you back then who they all were and where they were at. Hopefully everyone got their money back from the scams committed.
Suspicious. May be back for more.

I don't have contact with my two brothers. I was only commenting to help. My kids and I believe my brother Kenneth had something to do with our Mom, their Grandma's death. He sold everything after my parents were dead and disappeared. I found this article hunting him down. I know where Kevin and Edna are. They are in the middle of a bankruptcy. That's how I found this article. I'm truly sorry they hurt anyone and scammed anyone. It just doesn't shock me nor my kids. The description one guy gave described my brother Jerome Kevin to a tee!
Who's Jerome Kevin?

His name, his wife and my other brother was named in an article above about scammer Ruffins.
Jerome K Ruffin
Yes. My 2nd oldest brother. His wife is Edna G. And my other brother is Kenneth Ray Ruffin.
Sounds like it's going to be one of those Ruffin tumble weekends.
Wow. I was trying to help but nevermind.
@MRuffin Why dont you explain it us what type of scam “alledgly” happened?
This is what I read...and responses to it.

@MRuffin How do we know you are a real Ruffin and not an imposter?
I have no reason to lie. That's my maiden name. My Momma and Daddy passed away 4 years ago and my kids and I believe Kenneth and Jerome had something to do with my Momma passing.
She may be able to help someone. You never know. No reason to be a troll
Thank You. I am just a sister who knows her Brothers are scammers, money hogs, gamblers, posers and much more. They try to get away with everything including the very high chance that Kenneth Ruffin killed our own Mom for money
wow
I think that's a legitimate question, not a troll.
It would be odd for someone to randomly pick this 20+-year-old thread just to grind an axe, and to me this has the ring of truth so far.
However, a random person claiming to be someone -offering no real information or bona fides beyond some generic well wishes and an offer to track someone down- is not exactly the most immediately trustworthy narrator on the internet.

What would you like to know. Our parents have passed away. Their names are Harvey Ray Ruffin and Jeannie Louise Ruffin. We grew up in Fayetteville, NC and Linden NC. My oldest brother was selling coins back in those days but I had no clue him and my other brother were scamming people. I came across this article doing a complete search on both my brothers. As I said... My oldest brother may have killed my Mom and disappeared with a lot of money from selling their property. I Don't want his money. My kids and grandkids were in fact entitled to some of the.money he took off with from what was written and told by my Momma herself. I don't speak to my 2nd brother Jerome Kevin Ruffin and his wife Edna G. Ruffin due to him trying to rape me when we were teenagers. So it isn't vengeance I am looking for. I came across the post and it caught my eye and I thought I would write. Cause I Don't believe in scamming people out of money, harming people in any way. I am not like them and I am blessed for that. Jerome "Kevin" as we called him loved in Waldorf, Maryland and other parts of Maryland while he was in the Navy but returned to Fayetteville then ran to California and now back in Angier/Cary NC area. Kenneth took off with all the money he made of the sale of my parents property and presumed to be near the beach in Maryland or possibly Virginia. Probably still scamming people. Both of them. Kevin is back in Bankruptcy right now so I am sure he is doing something trying to make money cause they love to live the extravagant life. Anything else you would like to know? I was just trying to help if they still owed money to people. Sorry for bothering people. Like I said ...I just came across this article after doing searches on them for other things they have done. My oldest Daughter is trying to get Kenneth held responsible for my Momma and her Grandmother's death. Everyone have a great life. My apologies again for even saying anything!
Thank you for trying to help. Some readers will be skeptical, while others will appreciate it.
I prefer to give people such as yourself the benefit of the doubt. If it turns out that I was wrong in doing so, no harm has been done. On the other hand, if someone unjustly accuses you of being a troll, in my book, that's probably worse than any potential harm you might do in wasting someone's time if it turns out that they were right.
I wish you peace.

“I am Jerome K Ruffin!”
No you are not. Cause he is to much of a loser to come back on here after scamming people. I know him too well.

That’s Harshe.
I've already given so much information. I know who I am and who my sick brothers are.
Thank you for sharing your experience and concern. My sympathies.

How and where do I draw a line and put up barriers with the parents while being a positive influence on the children?
Cautionary tale for sure.

I have a feeling they are still doing that as a scam and more. Sad but true.
A 20 year old thread resurrected. What is./are the alleged scam(s). Did it occur at a coin show, eBay, Facebook, CU .... and how did it involve US Coins?
well, if you think there is a chance that someone caused the death of another person, why then do you not go to the FBI NOW and let them handle it? they do have many unsolved cases. maybe yours is one of them.
I do not know if interstate money issues are FBI or some other agencies jurisdiction,,
Cause they listed her death as COVID death. My oldest daughter is going thru her medical reports. My brother before running and hiding told so many different stories and was acting very shady had us all thinking the same thing. FBI will not get involved with that type of thing unless it is listed as a murder.
I believe it would have been eBay. I don't know. If you read what I wrote this whole time...I came across this for the first time after trying to find where my one brother is hiding out. It popped up and I recognized all the names and description given in these post about them. It said Ruffin Scammers so I clicked on it. And instantly knew who they were talking about
