If even 10% of everyone he's ripped here (hell, if just those posting here) took the time to do it, the RCMP might care enough to knock on his door. The longer you do nothing, the longer nothing will be done.

Do explain how this account "LT" has no address beneath it; was it added based on a "trend" and the motions made by a Canadian... but you didn't acquire an address or name?

Let me point a few things out to you.

The method used to exploit an expired e-mail address and MOTL account is well-known. There's 35m people in Canada, and a just because a person is in a neighbouring province doesn't mean anything (especially if there is a considerable distance between addresses). It's nonsensical to assume a person exploiting MOTL like this was John, and yes, I'll tell you why that is.

Because it might not be John, and in fact, it might be someone else. If you assume it's John and immediately come posting here without collecting information, you've done a disservice to the community. People should pretend to following through with the trade and collecting information.

Since you've decided to cut communication short, you've given the person on the other end an opportunity to continue drudging up accounts. They can proceed more cautiously and potentially rip people off. Why? Because the bright individual(s) that observed an old MOTL account and noticed he/she was from Canada just assumed it was John... and didn't bother to confirm this with a name and address.

Funny how there is an unresolved thread in the ripper alert forum, claiming it was or might be John, but has no name or address in the transcript. Let me remind you again, the method used to scam is well-known. There are plenty of people willing to exploit and rip people off, and you needed look any further than the ripper/accusation forums to know that.

So John must be this guy 5 hours away in Quebec? I'm not sure what mental acrobatics took place for a moderator to post this name and address in the thread. I will point out that while the name and address is in a hot thread, you've always removed the name out of immediate sight in the confirmed rippers thread. You have also muddled up the evidence against John with poorly collected "evidence", if that's what you want to call it.

Or maybe we just like calling all Canadian rippers "John." You know, like a nickname.

Hes used numerous alias and also steal wallets to use ids to collect mail so um ill leave it at that but "john" bragged to the wrong people.Im just trying to help i know none of this will get ppls cards back but setting him up is what im aiming for.

His current name is kamikazewatermelon and his fake name is Sebastian Leclerc.

Hope you all are careful. It's frustrating to think I almost sent the cards out.

Unfortunately, I sent the payment with the gift option. Was wondering if anyone had dealt with Paypal regarding this individual and successfully got a refund?

He is now selling Beta Booster Boxes on Ebay and sending out pictures to stores. I think that they are all fake and that he is scamming people on ebay. If you go to ebay and go to advanced search/completed listings you can see that he has sold a beta booster box 8 times in the last 2 months all under different accounts but using the same pictures. These are the same pictures that he sent in the mail to me. I just called him on the number that he gave me in his letter and he answered and confirmed that he is the one who is selling all of those boxes and told me that all of the things online about him are just rumors. I don't believe that he has any beta booster boxes and I think that he is just scamming people/ebay out of thousands of dollars. The name he gave me was John Austin Strickland Brown. It looks like he has found a way to sell from at least 8 different ebay accounts all in different cities. BEWARE!

Go to your bank and cancel the paypal transaction. They will ask for a reason, say that its a fraud problem.
They will refund you the money and all ok.

problem: paypal will ask you why the refund. You can explain to them all whats going on or whatever.
