He will rip you off. It's plain and simple. He has no money, no integrity and is awaiting trail for fraud.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A man going by the name Craig, actually Darien Craig Small, was arrested about midnight April 27, 2010 in Columbia.

Small had been operating a photography studio in Baltimore for a few months, and just opened a second location in Laurel last month. One or more people who had paid him money for studio use or other services and subsequently unable to contact him again filed for criminal warrants, and when his location was known for a brief window, the police were able to apprehend him.

People were alerted when it was discovered that he has a very long history of running photography scams in several states, in the $100,000's. Scams allegedly included taking payments for shooting at kid's sporting events, homeschool events, and weddings. (Even using a temporary website taking orders for reprints from friends and family and never delivering anything at all, even to the bride.) He often asks to barrow equipment, ask for help doing events and doesn't return or pay other photographers.

His current activities in Maryland he was using http://Great-Studios.com.

Small is about 5'9", medium-dark complexion, about 50, and speaks with a slight lisp.

Anyone who has had any business dealings with Darien Craig Smalls is invited to quickly contact the Howard County Commissioner. (410) 480-7720

His exploits are documented on the website http://StopDarienSmall.com You can find related MySpace and FaceBook pages. Google "Darien Small" or "Darien Craig Small" with words like "scam" and "photographer" for full information.

About midnight, "Craig" met a photographer to exchange gear, and was apprehended on the warrant that was granted recently!

Anyone who would like to contact the Office of the cCommissioner should do so very quickly - (410) 480-7720

Extradition to other states is unlikely. He'll be out on bail and then not show up to court.

Again, if you've been ripped off, I cannot stress enough to get criminal arrest warrants!

I cannot urge you enough, if you have been scammed by Darien, Dare or Craig Small to take your cased to your local police department. Insist that a CRIMINAL arrest warrant, not a civil warrant, or bench judgments, be issued. Make sure that the warrant is entered into the National Crime Information System.

Criminal warrants will ensure Darien, regardless of what state he is in, will be arrested if he ever has an encounter with police.

I still urge you to file civil judgments to get your money back. The more outstanding warrants he has, the more likely he will get what he deserves.

Sounds like Darien is hanging around Baltimore. I've had a couple people send me tips. If you've interacted with this guy, please feel free to email me. I will not post any private information without explicit consent.

Darien is scum.

While I have moved on with my life after being ripped off, I can't stand to see innocent people taken advantage of. If anyone has the time to help keep this site up to date, please let me know!

Dare's middle name is Craig, so I'm not shocked he's using Craig Small.

So to all of you out there watch out for:
