Update (Feb 27, 2011):
Robbie Thomas, I suspect, was contacted by the Northern Ontario CrimeStoppers organization to have their logo taken off of his site (See below for more info). Win!
Robbie Thomas has, in the past, used logos and names from non-profit organizations and charities to suggest that the monies that he collects are going to a good cause. That may be the case - the money might be going to these charities - but what he is implying is much more.
In the past he has used organizations like "Child Find Canada" and "National Center for Missing and Exploited Children" and a number of other organizations. Generally Robbie has been notified by them that they do not support psychics and request (demand?) that he remove their logos from his site.
At other times, Robbie has either made up or mis-identified the charity that he is supporting (ie. Childhood Diabetes Association). Though we can only speculate why he would so clearly fail to identify an actual charity, I would guess that he was just making stuff up like he often does. Either that, or he was afraid that the people here (at http://www.stoprobbie.com/) would actually contact the organizations and let them know what Robbie is claiming.
A few days ago, Robbie Thomas (is not psychic) put up "Breaking News" on his site that stated his paranormal convention was Proud Sponsors of .. and had a copy of our local Crime Stoppers logo. The crew here notified our local Crime Stoppers Coordinator and, today, the logo has been replaced with another (but not local) Crime Stoppers logo. This time from an organization based in Northern Ontario and Northern Minnesota. See it for yourself at http://www.robbiethomas.net/.
Does it make sense that a local resident, Robbie Poulton, would organize a local event (that changes names yearly because it has flopped consistently so far?) and then send the money to a non-local organization many hours away? Maybe it does to someone who lies, regularly, about his involvement with Police. Robbie Thomas (Poulton) has NEVER solved a crime using psychic abilities and he claims he has been doing it for 20 years.
If you know anyone at http://www.tipshelp.com/ (info@tipshelp.com and coordinator@tipshelp.com are listed as contacts on the site), please let them know that Robbie Thomas is using their logo (and name) and implying that he sponsors their organization.

Another dream crushed
Luckily the dream wasn't that of an unsuspecting person who turned to a psychic for help - this time it was Robbie Thomas proving that he's not psychic.
A few weeks ago I had posted some information about what Robbie Thomas (and friends) are up to these days.
There was a promising (ha) project in the works - "Paranormal Dream Team Tackles Triangles". It was created by some guy who claims to have invented an "EMF Typewriter" (It is as stupid as it sounds, yes) and featured himself, Robbie Thomas (the one that claims to be psychic but isn't) and "Leading EVP Researcher Specialist" (really? that's his title? Researcher Specialist?), Michael Esposito. (Sadly, I considered Michael Esposito to be a close friend and fairly respectable. His connection with Robbie Thomas has brought myself and a number of other people to "the other side". Wake up Michael, you're better than this.)
The "Paranormal Dream Team" page states this in the "About This Project" section:

The "Paranormal Dream Team" page states this in the "About This Project" section:
Leaders in their field, this team of experts will explain the unexplainable and have fun doing it. Often putting their lives on the line to get scientific proof of the the existence of the paranormal, these explorers will bring you the latest in scientific evidence from around the world.The project, on Kickstarter, was seeking $20,000 in funding for the project to get off the ground but, shortly after Sarnia Skeptic posted the following comment on the site, the project was canceled by the creator.
For their first expedition, they will travel 20,000 miles to bring you proof of the existence of extraterrestrials and UFOs.
Is this the same Robbie Thomas as featured on http://www.robbiethomastours.com/??
A double strike against our "Paranormal Dream Team". I guess they failed to predict that it would be a massive failure. Not even a single dollar was contributed (Sarnia Skeptic told me that he had planned on donating $1 to it but when he returned today, it was canceled).
Robbie Thomas is not psychic, has never solved a missing persons or murder case using his claimed psychic powers and, until he produces evidence to the contrary, any claims that he has should be considered lies.

2010 Comes and Goes and Robbie Thomas Solves 0 Cases
Robbie Thomas is not psychic so, for most of us, it comes as no surprise that he has not solved a single case (using his claimed psychic powers) in 2010. Mind you, he has never solved a case using psychic powers. Robbie Thomas would claim that he has been doing this for 20 years but he has yet to provide a shred of evidence to support his claims that he has helped solve crimes.
We have covered this before but I think it needs to be pointed out. "Psychic" Robbie Thomas has a "Cases" page on his website that lists cases that he claims to have been involved in. Some cases that he refers to are still, to this day, unsolved (one would have to assume that any help he provided didn't result in solving the case and would not support his claims). Other cases are years old - not a single one from 2010.
The two most recent cases (Cesar Cano and Tory Stafford) that were solved did not involve Robbie Thomas working with the Police. Neither of the forces have given any credit to Robbie Thomas (or any psychic for that matter) and that is simply because Robbie Thomas is lying about being a psychic.
This site was setup to stop the abuse of people who are already the victims of horrendous crimes. "Psychics" preying on desperate families is disgusting and deplorable. If you have lost a loved one to a kidnapping or a murder, we encourage you to avoid "psychics" and the pain, suffering and abuse that will come with it.
KlassKids Foundation and Project Jason have had dealings with "psychics" and have issued stern warnings about them.

I can't wait - a new "movie" by the not psychic Robbie Thomas
This could be breaking news - Robbie Thomas is setting up a new webpage for a "movie" called "Death Walk".
I think the tagline for the movie is "If you can't find a lighter, here's another way to burn your money - buy this movie". At least he's honest (he's not).
Here's the poster for the movie:
And, just for you, a link to the new website (still being worked on?) - http://deathwalkmovie.com/
(I really like that he has a "Robbie Thomas Films", a "Robbie Thomas Offices" and also his wife is associate director and the cast are the same old same old. I searched for Jessica Lynn (I would not suggest it - the results are not safe for work) and "Gate Productions" but couldn't find anything that seemed relevant. "Gate Productions" has a credit (1 of 4 production companies involved) in "The Gate" (1987) but I could not locate a website. "The Gate" was taped in Kleinberg, Ontario)

For some reason I don't think they meant it to be funny
A "friend" of http://www.stoprobbie.com/ recently sent us some "updates" on Robbie Thomas.
EMF Typewriter
First of all, Robbie Thomas is involved in a new venture - EMF Typewriters (and here) (I'm not kidding!). Some quotes from the linked sites:
I'm pretty certain the site is meant to be serious but I can't help but giggle. Really? An EMF-Typewriter? And "proving the existence of ghosts"? Come on Robbie, we thought you had standards! (No we didn't - you've done worse.)
Paranormal Dream Team
On that same page is a link to "Kickstarter" - a website designed around getting contributions to back a project - with information on Robbie's newest project: "Paranormal Dream Team". (I like how the slogan is "Wrestling with the Unknown" but the graphic is 4 people participating in a tug-o-war.)
For their project to get off the ground they need at least $20,000. Today they have raised a total of (rounding up) $0.00. I can't understand it - with such great incentives, how come more people aren't jumping on the bandwagon? Here is the scale of "benefits" as I seem them:
Pledge $1 or more: Get minor recognition that you're associated with stupidity. ("Contributor Credit in Film")
Pledge $5 or more: They'll call you and give you a one minute (seriously) update on their abuse of your money and recognition that you supported stupidity. ("A 1 minute update call from a Paranormal Dream Team expert while on investigation and a contributor credit in film.")
Pledge $15 or more: You get to talk back to them (as long as the conversation fits in 5 minutes) when they call you to prove to you that they're wasting your money as best as they can and recognition that you easily throw your money away ("A 5 minute two way *LIVE* update call from a Paranormal Dream Team expert while on investigation and a contributor credit on film.")
Pledge $45 or more: They won't bother you with a phone call but they'll give you more credit for admitting that you associate with stupid and a t-shirt so you can show your friends that you're that dumb. ("A Paranormal Dream Team T-Shirt and Silver contributor credit on film.")
Pledge $100 or more: Your name in bigger and bolder font in the credits of a movie/show that nobody will watch and a frickin' "I'm stupid" t-shirt. ("A Paranormal Dream Team T-Shirt and Gold contributor credit on film.")
Pledge $500 or more: The same big and bold display of your name as the $100 donation but you also get dinner with Robbie Thomas and the best part is you won't be able to keep your dinner down because Robbie will make you puke when he gives you his fake psychic reading. ("Dinner with Robbie Thomas in Detroit, a psychic reading and Gold contributor credit on film.")
Pledge $5000 or more: They'll guarantee that the world will learn that you are 1.) stupid, 2.) easily separated from your money and 3.) more gullible than someone who accepts homeopathy. You'll get to have dinner with the whole team so one of them will hold the vomit bag while your dinner is brought up from listening to Robbie give you a fake psychic reading. You're really going to want this - have your name listed as Executive Producer because every kid dreams to be associated with a train wreck. ("Executive Producer film credit, a fabulous dinner with the Paranormal Dream Team in Chicago and a psychic reading by Robbie Thomas.")
Thanks for the laughs, Robbie.
EMF Typewriter
First of all, Robbie Thomas is involved in a new venture - EMF Typewriters (and here) (I'm not kidding!). Some quotes from the linked sites:
The EMF Typewriter is the only device capable of proving, that’s right, proving the existence of ghosts. Watch ghosts type messages on a computer screen.
A limited edition of 100 history making devices are being produced. A certificate of authenticity, signed by the inventor Don Hutcheson, comes with each device sold.
Robbie is my test lead for the EMF typewriter. Imagine that the ghosts cannot read a computer screen? How am I going to get that feedback to improve the product? Well the only solution is to have a psychic as your test lead. Robbie Thomas is my psychic test lead.
I realized that Robbie’s particular expertise in talking to ghosts was a skill I needed to help me complete my invention. So, I called Robbie. What a nice guy! He said, “Sure. I’d like to help!” A couple of days later, he called me back to ask if I’d be his chief scientist on a TV show idea he was pitching. WOW! Too much fun!
I'm pretty certain the site is meant to be serious but I can't help but giggle. Really? An EMF-Typewriter? And "proving the existence of ghosts"? Come on Robbie, we thought you had standards! (No we didn't - you've done worse.)

Often putting their lives on the line to get scientific proof of the the existence of the paranormal, these explorers will bring you the latest in scientific evidence from around the world.By "leaders in their field", I suspect they're referring to the field of "abusing already victimized people". If there was a field of toothfairyology, they might be considered experts.
For their first expedition, they will travel 20,000 miles to bring you proof of the existence of extraterrestrials and UFOs.
It is the first of a series for the Paranormal Dream Team(sm). The Paranormal Dream Team is a collection of eclectic paranormal experts brought together to investigate the weird and wonderful.
-Michael Esposito (Leading EVP Researcher Specialist)
-Robbie Thomas (Leadings Psychic Communicator/Investigator)
-Don Hutcheson (Leading Scientific Studies/Researcher) inventor of the EMF Typewriter
Members of this team have led successful projects including: Sallie House & Dead Whisper.

Help Remind Robbie That We're Not Going Away
Robbie has a number of YouTube videos that he has blocked me (and other contributors to this site) from commenting on. Could you do us a favour and let him know that we're not giving up?
I tried posting on this video but, as you can see, I'm blocked from doing so. (I'll have to upload the image later - it is giving a server error when I attempt to add a picture.)
My comment was: Robbie Thomas claims to have solved the Victoria Stafford case - though, almost a week after she had been brutally murdered, he did tell the family she was still alive and would return home alive and well. Court documents were just released and Robbie was NOT involved in solving the crime. The baseline killers case is no different. Robbie is a liar and a fraud.
Here are other videos that could use some attention:

The other 9 videos that Robbie has posted he has done so with comments disabled.
As the previous posting suggests, you can also email Robbie @ robbiethomas@cogeco.ca.

Hold your false look of surprise: Robbie lied
Well, the publication ban has been lifted on the Tori Stafford case and, as suspected, Robbie Thomas was NOT involved in solving that crime (he has never solved a crime using his claimed psychic abilities).
http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Crime/2010/12/09/16485601.html
Details also show that, not only was Robbie not involved in solving the crime, he (as mentioned here and on my other blog http://sarniaskeptic.blogspot.com/) actually told the family that Tori was alive and would be found alive and well - about a week after she was brutally murdered.
April 8 - Tori goes missing. (Abducted)
April 8 - Abductors buy garbage bags and a hammer.
April 8 - Lifeless body is disposed of.
April 13 - Robbie Thomas claims (on X-Zone radio) that Tori Stafford would be found alive and safe. (He also told the family this as was reported in the London Free Press and other websites)
I will make a prediction now. Robbie Thomas' solved cases counter will not change in the next 9 years. Robbie Thomas has solved 0 cases in 18 (or 20) years. A perfect record!
If you have a moment, congratulate Robbie - robbiethomas@cogeco.ca (and, if you do, carbon copy us - emailus@stoprobbie.com)
