Here is a link to a board where dedicated board members helped bring down a very similar guy. The police in his hometown got involved and he was arrested. He had to plead guilty and was put under house arrest and forced to pay restitution to everyone:

i wonder if you all could file open a group effort case/complaint at his local police dept. My car got broken into one year and i think they will only go after someone if its like $1000+ worth of goods.

He also may be receiving mail/packages at an address other than his own. Those of you who have been burned should compare notes and see who shipped what where. It is worth noting his eBay account has a few months of inactivity (or at least no feedback) right before this incident. This may be a sign that he is using someone else's account. |

There is no need to go that far yet. His wife is making good on the deals or at least is going to try to as long as she is contacted. (See my post in the let's try again thread)
Major Blood, I am part of the list of guys who did not get his end of the trade. His wife Dawn contacted me tonight as says she is sending the stuff out this weekend of all of those who contacted her. If you have not yet and are someone who got hosed I suggest you contact her to get something back. I will give her benefit of the doubt for now to she if she come through. who knows they could be hard up for cash and he got desperate. It sounded like she did not know what he was doing. Not that any of to makes it right but let's give her a chance to make good. |

It's his account and his wife pull most of the auctions down once I contacted her. He is legit, it's weird because he had good FB for awhile. so something drove him to this nonsense.

I hope the email from her is real, and that it is not just him pretending to be someone else. I was in a similar situation and I received similar messages (father/son instead of wife/husband) and similar promises and it was all BS.
I'd demand tracking numbers ASAP. What about the stuff already sold on eBay? Has that been sent to the auction winners? I really hope this is different and that she will fix things. I just don't want to see you guys get burned. Please be diligent. |

Tankers, just a quick update.
Dawn (BBQ's wife) is working very hard to straighten this out she contacted me today to let me know the stuff should go out next week for all of those who contacted her. She is staying in constant communication to show she is not BSing and intends to set this right. Let's not be too harsh and give her a little more time to rectify any wrong doing. It sound as as if this has taken a toll on their relationship. He has paying a price for his actions, no more is needed. If you look at his prior FB he was fine to deal with. Some times shit happens and whatever it was he acted like a fool. They have a kid so this is not worth destroying a marriage over. They are taking responsibility to make good on the deals. Trust me, I believe people should be very accountable for their actions but if they truly rectify the wrong then I believe in letting them do it. If anyone else gets positive news please post. Hopefully by next week this can finally be resolved. |

It's good to see this mess might well be turning the corner. Here's hoping that you guys get back everything owed to you and this all turns out to be a serious, but forgiveable (assuming all things are made right) lapse of judgement by a normally okay guy. Good luck fellas.

Well Dawn contacted me as well after I emailed her this morning so I agree with Jack and say lets see what happens from here. Unfortantly I'm S.O.L. as I didn't save any of the PM's or any part of the conversation that me and BBQ had so I really don't have any evidence to show anything. I hope everyone gets their stuff back or even part of it back as it seems to be the only way to come out of this in a decent way. As far as him having a kid, that's really no reason for him to act the way he did. I understand kids can hinder things at times or slow things down as i've got 2 of my own and there's many other people here on the boards that have kids as well but you shouldn't use your kids in that manner.....that's just wrong. Good luck to everyone and once again, I hope you get some if not all of your stuff back.

Well, I got my stuff from Dawn today and they made more than good on the deal by throwing in a ton of extras.
I could not be happier and I hereby rescind all of my bad feedback on BBQ. I hope he and his wife work out any issues related/caused by this whole fiasco. Should he come back 'I would trade with him again but he would have to send the good first. I forgive as they made good hopefully the rest of you will get your stuff too. If you contacted her I have no doubt you will. |
