I've heard back from two sources that are going to try and help out, and I heard back from another, saying they're going to contact me for more details.

If anyone else has more ideas on venue's to contact, I would sure appreciate some more input! Also, if anyone knows someone somewhere to assist in getting to the people I need to talk to, that would be great as well!

Nice idea Rev.

Can you send me proof of this please?

You should phone the Ottawa police department, file for mail fraud, and let reference case number 06-113128 (my outstanding mail fraud filing). The more people who take this step, the more likely it will get resolved and he'll get what's coming to him.

@Volcanon, I was the seller, so I have no real rights on eBay if it's sent without tracking.

@Jazaray what proof would you like?

Proof that this Ebay member is John.

Paying $11 for registered mail on every international transaction is not economical, nor is it worth the loss of revenue from charging the fee and losing buyers. But I appreciate the concern.

@Jazaray what is your email? Also, he has changed his eBay name to indentation12, I've saved him as a favorite seller and will post if he changes it again (you can only change once a month)

This post will have all relevant information about him. (Facebook, Twitter, Past and present MOTL accounts, E-Mail Accout, Address he had cards sent to, all used names, etc.)
Include Total Amount ripped (To really hammer home the warning) and ways to contact his local law enforcement to file a report about him.

With a good, compiled, and factual as possible information sheet on him we SHOULD be able to have him punished legally, peacefully, and full well within our rights.

We don't have that type of option here on MOTL. The only thing we could do is open a topic and immediately close it, to be reopened with more information. However, without constant "upping" the thread will fall off the forum.

I have no idea exactly how much John has ripped off of people from this site, and there is really no way to tell without extremely extensive research.

All the information that I have on John is on the first post of this thread and in his CBTL listing. I think this thread is fine for the purposes.

From what I can see the guy appears to have a whole network of fraudulent activity setup. This makes me wonder why he goes through all this effort instead of just applying that same energy to a traditional job.

Either way I hope that the police are able to do something, MOTL provided me with some great friends and memories back in my magic days.

Simon Galipeau
Simon G
Danny Dubois

The address he has been using is

795 Terrasse Laurentine Apt. 8
Quebec, QC, G1V 2T2
Canada

Although a few times he's changed the Postal Code.

Please do your best to warn others and be ever vigilant in checking the BTA and CBTL for names and addresses.

Thanks,
Jazaray

I then wrote both of them back to say paypal is the only thing that will work, and even typed an invoice for them to append to the transaction. They have not sent the invoice nor responded to messages.

Very shady

You'd have to message a moderator, calling them out without proof is not really the best thing to do.

I went and read up on this Amazon Payments thing as well, and I'm not sure why you think you aren't protected.

According to this page: https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/helpTab/Checkout-by-Amazon/User-Agreement-Policies/Amazon-A-to-z-Guarantee the buyer is protected, as long as the items purchased fall under their acceptable use policy and only up to $2,500. Unless I'm reading the page wrong?

Thanks,
Jazaray
