I want to post a warning for other sick veterans that participate in the HVRP program at the VA Menlo Park campus.  This warning is due to a female veteran named Renee Scott who is currently in the program seeking another victim.  She has no interest in bettering herself other than to aggressively seek another veteran that has income to support her habits.  HVRP is a great place to remain a drug addict and to find your next victim to help support you and your habit financially. Ask Renee Scott, a current patient of the program. She is a predator that will lie and say anything to you to ...get you to believe that she is a sweet innocent girl that claims that everyone that has been involved with her life has messed her over. She gets people to feel sorry for her and makes them believe that she is a victim. She is looking for her next victim, a man, to support her and her habit, Adderall/meth. She goes from program to program seeking victims. She found me in Prescott, AZ told me that she loved me because she thought I was getting my money from the VA quickly. She enticed me to marry her and then convinced me to move to California homeless. When my money didn't come fast enough she abandoned me in the hospital. Too bad for her, less than a month after she left me, my back pay from the VA came in. Now that she knows I have my money she knows that I would never take her back so she concocts an extortion scheme to get money from me or she will not sign any divorce papers. As soon as she got in the HVRP program in May of 2013, she immediately struck up a relationship with another man in the program when she is not suppose to have any relationships. The staff at HVRP is not productive and they seem to not care what their patients do. I had hired a detective to follow her around for my divorce proceedings. Renee has been seen buying meth and going to hotel rooms with a couple of different men from the program. I am posting this to warn her potential victims. I do not and would not like to see other vets fall prey to her scheming ways. She is a cold, calculating person who is not what she seems to be. I am not the only man that she has done this to. I am the only man, however, that was stupid enough to marry her. If anyone who is about to fall prey to her evil ways, please contact me. I was hospitalized for two months in Palo Alto from March to May 2013. While I was there, she had abandoned me in the hospital before I received my back pay from the VA. One day, on April 3rd she called me to tell me that she loved me and wanted to be with me and then on April 5th, she slammed the phone on me because we got in an argument over money. She was at the Maple Street Shelter at the time. She was using meth while she was there. I know she was because I was a law enforcement officer and I know when people are spun. In addition to that I know Renee very well and her mannerisms. When there was no more money to buy her drugs she took it out on me. I was very fortunate that she did not find out about my back pay deposited into our account a few weeks later. She would have taken that money and would have been gone. Renee has actively sought Adderall from her VA doctors to help curb her addiction to Meth. She is not a sweet innocent girl that she likes to portray herself to others. I am writing this so that others can be warned so that they will not become a victim. I want everyone to know that I do not hate Renee, I feel very sorry for her and do pray for her every day. Her Mormon church wants to reach out to her to try to help her. Hopefully, she will. Again, please be warned-Renee Scott is not who she pretends to be in front of others.
