Shakedown Sharpton has struck again, according to an Arizona trucker, who says in a new federal lawsuit that the good reverend promised to help him, then took him for $16,000.

"He's a crook, he's a fraud, and that's all he is," complains Reggie Anders Sr., who sought out the Rev. Al Sharpton for help resolving a 2009 discrimination dispute with Verizon.

"He didn't do anything he promised," Anders said Saturday by phone from Mesa, Ariz. "Absolutely nothing."

Sharpton promised to go to bat for him against Verizon, a trucking client of Anders he had accused of discrimination and breach of contract in a federal suit that was dismissed in 2014.

Sharpton would "set up mediation meetings" and if need be "put the matter to the media" and even blast the telecom giant on his weekly radio broadcast, according to Anders' lawsuit, filed Friday in Manhattan federal court. All Anders had to do was hand over $16,000. Sharpton was very clear about how he wished to be paid, Anders told The Post. "He wanted cash only. He didn't say why."

But The Rev was not clear at all about one thing - that Verizon and other major corporations had been paying Sharpton and NAN thousands of dollars in donations.

Can you imagine the mental condition of a person that would entrust Al Sharpton to straighten out his financial affairs?

He may win the 1.2 Mil award, but good luck collecting. Steven Pagones is still waiting for his.
