VICTIM: BUYER BEWARE OF OSCAR SIERRA CATERING SCAM

By Araceli Mancias
Special to El RrunRrun

I'd like to inform everyone about this individual (Oscar Sierra) that claims to know God but yet is stealing from people.

We contracted him about a year ago for our daughter's quinceniera event, which will be occurring next month. Long story short, he approached us as we were looking at the Event Center claiming he was the owner/manager of the place. 

 He seemed to be an honest man and mainly because God's name actually came out of his mouth. (Sierra is pictured here with Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio and another man. He is the one the right, to Lucio's left.)

 We filled out contract and started payments towards the "package" he offered. He always gave us receipts for the cash payments but to only find out it really didn't mean anything!! 

He took $6,500 and the last payment he took from us was in December 2017, a few days before Christmas. He never once answered our calls after that nor did he EVER try to reach us in any manner. 

 As weeks turned into months and in desperation we traveled from Austin to Brownsville to only find out he was scamming many other individuals. Since then we've filed charges and only demand our money!!! 

 He had the audacity to call June 18 as if nothing was wrong!! I demanded our money due to the lack of communication in which I explained he didn't leave us any options but to get other vendors to help us fulfill our daughter's event. 

He refuses to return our money stating WE broke the contract! 

 What a slimy mother-----r he turned out to be!! 

 He has been arrested 3 times and yet bails out for other cases with same situation as ours!! If you know you'll be having important event in the coming months years, please watch out for this man!!

So basically, your event is sometime in the future but you pressed charges already cause you know that he is not going to honor his agreement with you? Perhaps there was problems with some people in the past for other reasons. Have you checked to see if he has been complying with his agreements? Maybe....you're jumping the gun a little don't you think!

Anyone who takes a picture with Sheriff Omar Lucio can't be trusted. Sounds like this guy doesn't have GOD on his side, but rather is protected by our corrupt Sheriff and judicial system here.

This guy committed a hit-and-run on a friend of mine Last year.. he tried to get away but She followed him and caught up to him. He had no insurance, no license, and he lied to the police about what happened.

He tried to scam us two days before our event too but I went looking for him at his house and he ultimately came through with event but food was cold and we we're missing some of the things he promised. I agree Mrs Mancias... DON'T TRUST HIM!!!

If he has let anyone else down, then press charges for the return of the money. You can't just cancel on a say so.

UPDATE:: Our event has passed and thankfully it turned out beautiful!!!

To the previous comment made-No one is looking to tear anyone apart and God has everything to do with it. A person that knows of God learns not to lie, cheat and steal from people. It's unfortunate one has to publish these type of stories to warn others of the heartless people.

I trust in God and justice will be served to the victims.
