Complaint filed by: gfischer/pop3.netins.net@metc.net (Gene Fischer)

I was contacted by a Alex C Johnson,
207 Mont Bleu Blvd
#89045 Hull, Quebec J8Z3M

1 email auction@eastsidecards.every1.net about buying beanies from him direct rather the net.. He got my email address from ebay auctions that I have bid on or win. He provide a list of available beanies and what he needed to trade for. I sent him a list that amount to $703 and he wanted beanies for $57. He said the beanies are being shipped and gave a tracking #, It took several days before the tracking # was available.. Well the tracking # was false as it had been received by another party.. I have been trying to make contact, but will not reply to several emails that I have made. This has taken place between Aug. 10 to 24. I did not send any money as I tried to find a telephone # in the area, but no avail.. I did sent the trade beanies at loss of $57. He became a ebay member on Aug 9, 01 greatdealfromcanada  I would like to make sure that others are taken by this party and my beanies returned. beanies sent 3 germania, 3 millinneum.....Beanies to receive 12 celebrate, 12 starlet, 2 sakura, 5 unity, 7 poopsie, 12 pierre, 12 addison, 6 britannia, 6 smmooch, 3 buckingham, 3 nipponia.....   Thank you for your assistance Gene

I was also contacted by Alex C Johnson informing me that he had 24 Pierre beanies available for sale at a very reasonable price. It seemed to good to be true but after checking I took the bait, hook, line and sinker. We exchanged emails over the course of four days before things were finalized. At that time, I checked him out and he appeared to be legit; just getting started on eBay under montrealcollectibles. I did send him money in the form of a money order. I did have enough sense though to send it registered/return receipt; hopefully that'll provide some assistance if things fall through the floor. The money order was mailed on the 29th of August.  So far I haven't heard anything further from him. I just sent him an email today asking if he received the money order. Have to wait and see if I get a response. If I don't, I'm thinking of going to the post office and see if we can track the envelope and see if the money order has been cashed.    Carol Hirsch

just want to let you know that I just received an email from Alex and he said he received the money order and has shipped the order. I just emailed him asking him for the shipping date and if there is a tracking number. I'll wait and see if he responds. I'm hoping this is a good sign and I don't have to follow through with a complaint. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your assistance.   Carol Hirsch

I have never heard a thing from Alex or received money for beanies he received!! I believe he got our email info when we have bid on an ebay auction and requested to send us a message.. Hope this helpful..

Still no beanies and no email from him.  I have tracked my money order and it has not been cashed they say. Also that I can not cancel it.  

He said he had two sakura beanie babies for sale at $46.00 a piece plus $6.00 shipping so I sent him a check for both of them. He cashed my check on August 23 2001. He then e-mailed me and said they would be shipped 9-20-01, but did not give me a tracking number, so I e-mailed him for the info on the tracking number, only to have my e-mail bounce back, so he cashed my check for $98.00 and I have recieved nothing in return, not even an e-mail explaining the situation. I trusted him because I knew he traded on ebay before. All I want is my money back

He solicited a sale of Pierre bears. I sentUSPO MO for $215 on 9/4 He cashed on 9/18. false track # no response

I was also ripped off by Alex Johnson. He offered me a bobblehead for $75 and I blithely sent it to him. He's cashed my check, but I haven't received anything and it's been a month and a half. Also he doesn't respond to e-mails I've sent. SO, I'm trying to put together a case for the Canadian Mounted Police(through their web-site) and I wonder if any of you are interested in joining me? Let me know, and also let me know if he's resolved things w/any of you. Thanks, Steve

It's really hard to make out, but it looks like Bankers Trust in New York is where the check cleared.The amount was $80.00. He used the name Alex C. Johnson and the address was

Hull, Quebec    J8Z 3M1

I was contacted by Alex on August 8th. He contacted me thru emailing ebay to have them send me his letter. He saw what I had been bidding on ebay for and thats what he told me that he had.  Here is email that I got from him:

"I am sending you this email to offer you an excellent deal on the Authentic Ichiro Bobble Head Dolls from 7/28/01! I've notice you bid on an Ichiro Doll. We presently are carrying (7) Ichiro Dolls: (2) Blue, (5) White. We are offering are dolls at only $60.00 U.S + $8.00 U.S for global priority shipping. All of our Ichiro dolls come with an authentic serial number, a game-used ticket stub and original packaging. These are the Ichiro Doll's from the game (July 28/01 in Seattle!) -- not the test drives which means our dolls are out of 5,000! On request, we will send you scan of the Ichiro Doll. Thanks and Take Care!, "

East Side Cards
eBay I.D: sportcard (281)
auctions@eastsidecards.every1.net

I sent him $132 for two white Ichiro boblehead dolls and he was to have mailed them to me the same day he got my payment.  I have gotten nothing from him.  I sent to

Alex C. Johnson
East Side Cards
207 Mont Bleu Blvd
#89045
Hull, Québec

I bid on the item (Ichiro Give-away doll) on eBay and I didn't win. As soon as the auction ended, this guy sent me an e-mail through eBay offering me the same dolls he has in stock. However, the price he offered me was too reasonable for this doll so I thought that must be fake. I asked him to send me the actual picture of the item and he sent me one. It was the same doll so I decided to purchase 2 dolls from him. He also let me check his feedbacks. (However, I recently found out that the ID he told me to check wasn't his ID. He used someone else's ID: “sportcard” for references. I contacted with this person and he told me that he received some e-mails from other people who are having the same problem as mine.). His real eBay ID is “greatdealfromcanada” (He got this ID only for ripping people off. He has no items listed, no feedback and no purchasing using this ID.). I sent him the check for $128.00 including shipping charges on August 13. Since then, he stopped answering me. So I emailed him to ask if he received the check. He sent me the e-mail on August 22 and told me that the check had to be hold for 7days. But after that, he sent me another e-mail telling me that the check will be hold for 15 days. I wondered about it but I waited anyway until the check cleared. 15 days past and I didn’t hear anything from him so I emailed him again. He finally emailed me back on September 8 and told me that the items will be shipped on September 20. Then I realized that something is wrong. He told me that he has the dolls in stock but he said the items will be shipped about 2 weeks later. I emailed him and told him that that was not what I was told at the first place and not what I was expecting and requested him to send me the refund. He sent me the e-mail on September 13 and now he told me that the items were shipped on September 10 even though I requested him to send me the refund. On October 4, I emailed him again because I haven’t received the items yet. But since then, he never emailed me back and now I can’t send him an e-mail because it keeps coming back. I lost the way to contact with him so I recently filed the fraud report against him with USPS. I still do want to contact with him but I have no idea how to find his current address.  He used someone else’s ID, used someone else’s description for the item (I’m sure that’s what he did.), sent me the picture of the item which he actually doesn’t have, etc… This guy is very tricky!!!     Thank you,   Yuko Brown

I sent the check for $128.00 to him and it looks like it was cashed on August 23, 2001 at the Bank of Montreal in Montreal, Quebec.

Alex told me he would sell a box of 2001 sp football cards for $67.00 including shipping. He told me shipments were fully trackabke. He cashed my check on 8/23/01 and and he told me he sent the cards out on 9/13/01. It is now 10/19/01 and still no cards. Since 9/13/01 I haven't been able to contact him. I believe he keeps changing his email address. It was auctions@eastsidecards.every1.net, then auction@eastsidecards.every1.net, now I've even heard special@eastsidecards.every1.net The first 2 email addresses show his ebay user id as greatdealsfromcanada. The next one gives ebay user id as montrealcollectible. Beware of this sneaky SOB. I don't think he will quit until he is caught. Somehow I wish all of us that have been ripped off by this person can find him and get our money back. I am not sure what to try next to get my money back, any ideas???

This person contacted me through Ebay offering a great deal on items I had previously bid on. He is Alex C. Johnson, address - East Side Cards - 207 Mont Bleu Blvd. - #89045 - Hull, Quebec, Canada - J8Z 3M1. His Ebay ID is greatdealfromcanada. I mailed payment and, like many others, received nothing. I refuse to let him get away with this. I have contacted Ebay to file a formal complaint. I have also contacted the Hull, Quebec police department who have found out this is a PO box under the name of East Side Cards. This guy doesn't even live in Hull. I am hoping the Hull police will contact Ebay to get his credit card number to track him down. Anyone who has lost money to this crook needs to contact the Hull police and Ebay, if he contacted you through Ebay. You can contact me at aath3@earthlink.net for more information.

scammed me out of $34.00 for a Pierre bear sent about 6 e-mails to him with no response I have filled out 3 different fraud charge forms against him his new user ID on the bay is montrealcollectables I have noticed now he has 2 different mailing addresses montreal Quebec, and Hull Quebec

ebay user ID, greatdealfromcanada. For those of you ripped off by Alex Johnson you need to forward the solicitation emails to ebay. It's against their terms and they will kick him off. Doesn't look like he's ever made an ebay transaction. Just uses it to email bidders. His ebay ID is still active.

Beware of all solicitation from people who got your addy through ebay. If they are not following ebay's term that tells you right there that they don't follow the rules. They will probably rip you off too.

For those of you who have been taken by Alex C. Johnson I have some information for you. I have found out that the alias "eastsidecards.every1.net" is a free service that anyone can sign up for at: http://hahano.mail.everyone.net." I also followed the complaint that Alex C. Johnson and C.P St-Andre are the same person but C.P stands for Canada Post! It does not mean C.P collectibles -- Canada Post! B.P means box d'postes. Anyime you send to a P.O box in Quebec it will say C.P St. Andre or C.P Doe etc. So indeed there could be many different Alex Johnson's out there hiding behind a FREE EMAIL SERVICE that anyone can sign up for. Just get to know who you are dealing with and keep trading a postivive tool for ALL OF US honest people.

His addres for mailing payment is

Sounds like two people and I my check was mailed to Alex C. Johnson but I understand he also used other peoples email address which is apparent if you go to Traderlist and check out the information he gave people.

I sent him a money order for$34.00 on Aug. 19, 2001 for two Pierre Beanies. I keep e-mailing him and he keep giving me all kinds of excuses. As of today, I still haven't received my beanies.

Similar to others, I sent funds and did not recieve anything. It was for a Willie Mays bobblehead doll. After a number of weeks, I asked for a tracking number. He said he would look into it. Then after a few more weeks, he stated, "Your doll was sent -- that's all I have to say." Yet could not provide any tracking information.  This incident actually occurred in August 2001. I even have a copy of the Purchase Agreement that I included with my payment. This is my first step and I will be looking into the additional steps necessary via the information on this site.

July 22, 2002

  I was given 2 different emails and 2 different mailing addresses. I also was given the cell phone number noted below. I did actually make verbal contact with him and spoke directly over the phone with him. I don't believe it is still in service, but perhaps the police can find out what service this was associated with and then find out who used the number during the period of time in question. Here is all of the contact information that I had received. I will look into whether my bank can determine where the check was cashed. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance in this matter.

Alex is now on ebay with id as grannyhall0001 and email address as deals@eastsidecards.every1.net. He has feedback there but almost all of it is Alex as a buyer not a seller. The selling feedback he has there is not for beanies!!!. He now has an auction up that is private where the names of the bidders is hidden. Also his most recent feedback for that private auction someone did put in feedback that it was a fake auction. Selling fakes is what I got out of it?? Auction number is 1750117814.

Trudy, I am Mesha - grannyhall0001. This jerk Alex Johnson? or whatever his name is stole my e-Bay identity and ran a bunch of fake auctions. I've file a complaint with e-Bay regarding this as have several of the folks who won those fake auctions, however e-Bay doesn't seem to get in any hurry to resolve these sort of problems because had they replied to the first e-mail I sent regarding a problem with my account (all of a sudden my password was invalid) this would never have happened. I'm glad to hear this lowlife is on the bad trader list and I'm gonna go there myself and leave a message regarding him and his tactics  Thanks,   Mesha

I don't know anyone that you have me accused with. Saleh Najem, or anyone else. I am only one person. I don't think you people are very intelligent. I send out the goods when I receive the cash. If you would like to test me try it, I work. Sincerely,   Alex C. Johnson

I am Alex C. Johnson and I check this page almost each day and I myself had my identity stolen and I do have a good idea who "Saleh Najem" is (another stolen I.D) related to someone named Ahmed Ahmed in Ottawa. This guy stole my certificate and social insurance number to open bank accounts and postal boxes in my name. I am willing to help you prosecute this guy but I do not think it will be easy. I already talked to the police and they won't help me out at all. Figures, the way they are today.   Alex C. Johnson

Hello Mediators,

My name is Alex Johnson and I am writing you this letter because I want you to remove other names associated with my name off of Traderlist.com "bad trader page."

I do not know of these people: Jean McCart, Saleh Najem, C.P ST-Andre, Chalez Jagr. Therefore I have no connection with these people and therefore, these unknown names should not be associated with my name.

I am only one person and I live in Ottawa. I do not have any connections whatsoever with Montreal and defintley not the above mentioned people. I am only one person and I work generally alone! I am getting very upset and I may have to continue to do something durastic about this. It's damaging my personality as well as the others who are not affiliated with me. I would prefer you to take my whole name off the list but I think it is fair to start with the names associated with my name first. I will continue to check to see that those names are off of my BAD TRADERS page. I think it is fair to give you two days to take action on this serious request.

I hope that you take my request/demand seriously. I am not an idiot like Angie Moore -- I will continue to do something about this till my request are done. The next messure on Traderlist.com will be much worse than anyone taken so far and will flood your site and tarnish it's (in my opion) unlawful operations.

Sincerely,   Alex C. Johnson    deals@eastsidecards.every1.net

Please note if you read the complaints above you will see that Alex has used the Quebec and the Montreal address under the same email addresses and name. So there is no doubt that he is both of these. Also under the Saleh Najem name and emails he has used the exact same mailing address in Montreal as he did under the Alex Johnson name.  You can find that proof on http://www.traderlist.com/C.P.St-Andre.html. Also under that complaint you can see that he also pirated someone elses ebay account and did many auctions under the pirated account just as he did with grannyhall0001@alltel.net ebay account just recently. Also if you will notice his threats on both bad traders pages are almost exactly alike. So there is no doubt in my mind that Alex is all of these people or working with them.

alex emailed me from canada asking me if i was interested in buying ferny with hard case,, i sent the /o on july 9th and he got it and said he shipped out on the 15, today is the 22nd,, and now his emails i send to him bounce back cause it says he did something wrong with his isp...what do you know about this person i checked his feedback first and it seemed good until now,, what can you tell me about this alex c johnson

I was approached by Alex through the following email:

"Hello,

I noticed you are bidding on a Ty Ferny Beanie. I currently have six of these authentic beanies. Each authentic Ty Ferny is only $15.00 + $3.00 for shipping and that includes a hard case! All beanies are guaranteed authenticity or your money back. Payment for this offer can be made by personal check or money order. For references please check my Ebay name (deals@eastsidecards.every1.net) If you would like to purchase this beanie just reply to this message or e-mail me at: deals@eastsidecards.every1.net. Hoping to hear from you!   Alex C. Johnson   deals@eastsidecards.every1.net"

I purchased the item from him via personal check and it has been 3 weeks since I have last heard from him. His email address is now invalid and his ebay membership is suspended. I know that 18 dollars is not a lot, but assholes like this guy should be brought to justice. Keep me updated.  Thank you for your help and time.   Warren

Alex Johnson won an auction using the user id Brandy1111 on Ebay over the weekend, and paid for the auction using my paypal account. He also was a very busy boy with my checking account. He got my debit card number, expiration date, and the 3 digit number on the back ( I have no idea how) and bought over $400 worth of software. He would put in my debit card info, then download the software. He also charged 3 new email premium accounts to Everyones internet. I noticed that on July 20 he wrote in to say that he is not the one doing all these things, but who in their right mind is going to believe him??

If you want to contact me email me at savings@eastsidecards.every1.net and we can discuss this problem.   Thanks,  Alex C. Johnson

I was also cheated by him. I am contacting everyone I can including Ottawa Police -BuchanA@ottawapolice.ca ( Andy Buchan at Ottawa Police. He is the greatest and is working very hard to try and help.)  FBI Fraud, and anyone else I can find.... At the beginning of July I was bidding on several beanies, and along comes an email offer on the 6th offering some of the same beanies I was bidding on at great prices. I will try to find those emails and forward. The first came from savings@eastsidecards.every1.net. I immediately entered the email on Ebay to check their feedback just to be sure there were no warnings. The user name came up as: Leilana (196). There was no negative feedback and I was delighted. On 7/8/02, I sent a check in the amount of $215.00 made out to Alex C. Johnson (per instructions) to:

C.P St-Andre
B. C. 32175
Montreal, Quebac
H2L 4Y5

The order was for: Beanie Babys: 4 Wales, 4 Scotland, 4 Von Rot, 4 Bunga Raye, 4 Munguwha

Then .... after these folks seemed so friendly and nice, I did it again for another order.... this time the email (dated 07/11/02) was: deals@eastsidecards.every1.net. User name: Grannyhall0001 (147). Again....I checked the feedback and all was positive. So on 07/12/02 I sent another check made out to Alex C. Johnson for $200.00 for the following Beanies: 6 Prinz Von Gold, 6 Freiherr Von Schwartz.

In the past week a really bad feeling came over me and I began to think it was some kind of scam. So I sent an email inquiring about the first order to the savings@eastsidecards.every1.net address, checked the feedback for that email (which comes up as user: Leilana..... then sent one to the deals@eastsidecards.every1.net address with the same inquiry. Just on a chance...a bit later I checked my email and found the deals@eastsidecards.every1.net email had been returned as not deliverable.....so I forwarded the inquiry to the savings@eastsidecards.every1.net address hoping to hear from them on both orders. Whew!!  Am trying to think of all the details I need to tell you, and I hope this story is not too confusing.  Next I went into the Grannyhall0001 username and discovered there were several disconcerting comments listed ..... when I clicked on the username....it came up as: "Requested user is not a registered user." Panic began to set in!  So far I have received a warning from a helpful user who gave me the bad news that this was probably a scam and they said they thought their account had been hacked! They also said they would forward an email to you and said you tried to be very helpful. I don't know what else to say, but I will be doing more research and I hope you have some great suggestions! Please try to help....if this is true, it means I have been STUPID in the amount of $415.00.   I got an email from the following from the first auction with id of leilana. ( the real one)

"Hi Jan,  I hate to tell you this but you have been ripped off by someone. Someone  hacked into my eBay account on July5th. Fortunately, I was bidding on something so went onto eBay and noticed my name had been changed. In addition, I couldn't get into my account. eBay actually called me that same day. I had already sent them a written alert my account had been hacked.Please look at enclosed history and you will see I had it corrected immediately. The only thing I can suggest is you contact this person: orwell@ebay.com   I doubt you will get back your money if the check has cleared but I would report it to your bank because this is fraud. Perhaps, you can recoup some of your funds.   Marjie"

Thank you so much.... Jan Taylor

I was also cheated by Alex using GRANNYHALL'S FEEDBACK   I HAVE BEEN PURCHASING FROM EBAY FOR ABOUT 1 1/2 YRS, AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BUT I HAD A BAD FEELING ABOUT IT FROM THE START. THANKS, BECKY

I didn't realize this person had a complaint page on this site! My eBay was hacked on July 5, 2002 by this individual. Fortunately, I happened to go to my eBay account that day and discovered I couldn't get in and all info had been changed. eBay contacted me by telephone and assisted me in reclaiming my account. However, this person had enough time to send out offers to many people. I started getting TOS violation emails from eBay. My credit card on my Billpoint account had been compromised and used. Tonight I received an email from someone who had sent this person over $400.00 for beanies. She went to eBay and put in the name the person had changed my eBay account to and came up with my account. So she emailed me asking where her beanies were. I had to break the news to her she had been scammed. I think this individual got the information from www.traderlist.com. The reason I believe this is the case I made a complaint against another bad trader on this site. It was my first time trying a trade and got taken. This Alex C. Johnson person I believe must be using this list to gather info on people. I have closed my Billpoint account, my PayPal account and all my credit cards. I will not be trading any longer. This is simply too much for me. Too bad there are so many dishonest people in the world. Be careful and check you eBay account periodically to be sure no one has gotten into it. eBay told me to make sure your password is very complicated. Nothing anyone can guess.

Same as everyone else. I was bidding on another auction and He notified me by email through ebays email using grannyhall0001 id. Took my $70.00 told me beanies were on the way..then said they were pre-sale. I'm not sure how to do it but I believe it would be beneficial for someone to contact the server he is using and inform them of the scam he is pulling. In the mean time I do know some individuals with the FBI and will prosecute. Also, I am copying all the complaints on his sheet and sending them to the area banks in Montreal. Don't know if this will do anything..but perhaps it will show him down until the is caught..and he will be caught..just a matter of time. Information that he used with me:

I checked with the Post Office on 10/11/01 and was told that the check was cashed on 10/03/01. I subsequently requested a copy of the canceled check.
On 11/6/01 sent a email formal complaint to the Hull, Quebec police department; sent to martely@police.ville.hull.qc.ca.
On 11/6/01 Lt. Yves Martel, Hull PD, emailed to say that the complaints would be forwarded to the Ottawa PD. On 11/30/01 I received an email from Andrew Buchan (BuchanA@ottawapolice.ca).

As of this date the Ottawa PD are still working on the case.

On April 24, I received this email from Detective Buchan:

"Buchan, Andrew" wrote:

Finally some news on "Alex Johnson" or "Al Najem" . On 18 April 2002 the Ottawa Police executed a search warrant on a suspect residence. Two computer systems were seized as well as documentary evidence linking the suspect to the fraudulent sale of Beanie Babies over the Internet and the more recent fraudulent sale of electronic equipment via "hijacked" eBay accounts. The suspect was under the age of 18 at the time of the incidents and therefore cannot be named. The suspect is being sought at present and he will be charged with Defraud the Public (Over $5000)  I will keep you posted as the case develops.

This is email that I got from Detective Buchan on July 29, 2002 when I told him that he was again currently scamming others:

Yes - there have been some complaints. We think it's his associates as he is supposed to be somewhere where there is no access to computers - confirming that now. We are working on it.

The person emailed me after seeing that i had not won on certain auctions and stated that they had a certain amount of each type of beanie i was looking for.. He also threw in some other rare ones to his list ( Sakura I, MC Beanie, Buckingham etc) He listed the beanies with prices which were very good. With the quantity i purchased our total came to $290. The check has already cleared as well

He used grannyhall001 as a feedback site and 2 separate email accounts in contacting me.. Savings and Deals@eastsidecards.every1.net   The address we sent payment to (Alex C. Johnson) was:

C.P. St-Andre
B.C. 32175
Montreal, Quebec
H2L 4Y5

Thanks for all your help.. please keep me up to date with anything. Appreciate everything your doing and what others are doing to stop this person(s). Thanks again

I received an e-mail with prices for very hard to find beanie babies, which included Wales, Scotland, Sakura II, Graf Von Rot, MC Beanie, Bunga Raya, Mugungwha, Pierre, Chinook, Sakura Original, Unity, and Buckingham. At an average amount of $12.50 for each beanie, I couldn't resist. I confirmed the order and sent the payment in the form of a money order to:

C.P St-Andre
B.C 32175
Montreal, Quebec
H2L 4Y5

After three weeks had expired from the day I mailed the money order, I tried contacting him via the e-mail address he provided and via the eBay user ID, greatsavingsfromcanada. I only received a reply from the owner of the eBay user ID. She informed me that the so-called Alex C. Johnson has been cheating a number of people with different user names. Please take caution.

Alex Johnson is sending spam email, and making it appear to come from webmaster@traderlist.com. The webmaster of traderlist has not sent out this email, and will be taking appropriate action with all of the authorities working on the case. This is an illegal act. This is identity fraud. (stealing and using someone elses identity) Sending SPAM email is also illegal. If you receive any SPAM from anyone, you should contact the sender's Internet Service Provider since it is againt the Terms of Service of most ISPs. You should also report it to the Federal Trader Commission at uce@ftc.com Rest assured that Traderlist.com would never compromise our integrity by selling or giving out lists of email addresses to anyone.

Comments: i got email from man that say his name is Daniel J. Britt.but he has the same email and address as Alex Johnson does .BUYERS BEWARE HE STOLED MY MONEY AND RUN .

On Aug. 29, 2002 I sent a USPMO for $100 to Daniel J. Britt @ C.P St-Andre B.C 32175 Montreal,Quebec H2L 4Y5 and was promised two German trio sets. I have email this individual three times since trying to make contact about when and if he shipped the beanies he promised. I have had no response from him since 8/28/2002. Can you help me out with this ? I looked all over on the traderlist for him before I sent the money and found nothing.   thank you for your time,  Stacy Theisen

The email address he used is deals@beanies.every1.net.   the email came through Ebay...so I'm reporting him to them as well. I never thought to look at bad traders for Canada (Big mistake on my part). So I guess I have to chalk my money up to a learning experience. Let me know anything you find out. Thank you so much for your time.   Stacy Theisen

Well...guess like I'm not first on the list when it comes to being scammed. Sounded too good to be true and it was. Despite having good feedback on ebay, this guy scammed me out of Gold, Rot and Schwarz German beanies. "Buy it Now" was a great way for him to make some quick bucks from me since it's been about a month and the only time he's returned his e-mails is to confirm a postal address. No wonder he's willing to waive the postage for a cheque or money order. Looks like a have a $80 money order receipt I'll frame to remember this guy by.

On July 15/02 I won an Ebay Auction for a Freiherr Von Schwarz Beanie Bear. I sent $28.00 US to Alex Johnson @ C.P. St-Andres, BC 32175, Montreal, Quebec, H2L 4Y5. Needless to say, like everyone else scammed by this guy, I did not receive my Beanie Bear. I later learned that he had stolen an Ebay identity (grannyhall0001) and posted a number of fake auctions. When I tried to contact him to find out when I could expect to receive my Bear, the emails bounced back with the message that the email account had been shut down by the server for improper use. I hope the authorities catch up with this guy soon as he seems to be very successful with his scams! Buyer Beware! He offers such good prices, but keep in mind - "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!"

We will never be arrested as you can see my your friend who has no clue in the world where we are. I heard that the Ottawa Police had made a progressive computer seige on a real Russian criminal who is hard and work collecting your Paypal.com information.

See you all in Mexico.

Dear Sir/ Madam:
re: BRITT, Daniel J aka Christopher Alex Johnson age 18 years

I am currently investigating the above named individual for numerous frauds including possession of stolen credit card data. He has been arrested by me and is currently in custody without bail pending additional charges. I am working with Sergeant Andrew Buchan of the Ottawa Police Department for numerous frauds committed there as well. It appears Johnson has been active in Sault Ste. Marie since mid-summer and has defrauded many ebay users as well as Paypal users and others. I have seized Johnson's computer and am currently having our Tech Crimes Unit image his hard drive to locate additional potential victims. This overwhelming task will take much time so I am contacting you now to advise that the investiagtion is underway and you are likely the victim of a fraud and your credit card number(s) intercepted. I will be in touch further, however please contact me by telephone in the meantime so I can add you to a list of victims to contact. The email in my office is shared so please contact me by telephone - I anticipate a large response.
Thank you in advance, I will be returnig your call soon.

Dear Traderlist (Cindy, Pat)

Good news! Today, 13 March 2003, Christopher Alex Johnson entered pleas of guilt on 35 separate charges in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Canada. Charges included possession of credit card data, fraud and attempt fraud of merchants in Sault Ste. Marie using stolen credit card data and use of such data. He was also convicted of "Spamming" Traderlist by interfering with the lawful use and operation of property to wit Traderlist.com. He also plead guilty to possession of computer passwords enabling him to commit the offence of possessing credit card data, possession of property obtained by crime to wit: user id's and passwords from Paypal.com. He also was convicted with bail violations concerning his flight from outstanding charges in Ottawa, Ontario.

Johnson has been convicted and sentenced to a period of 11 months incarceration (jail time) with a 2 year period of probation to follow. Because he has been in custody since his arrest he was credited with pre sentence time and will serve an additional three months from this date. The judge emphasized deterrence in his sentencing and placed Johnson on probation for 2 years after he is released from jail ( and this will start after he has served all his time as he is still facing numerous fraud charges in Ottawa yet to be heard). His probation order included reporting to a probation officer, making financial restitution to merchants defrauded (over $4000.00) AND he has been ordered not to use, possess or access in any way any computer (as defined in the Criminal Code of Canada) and is barred from any access or use of the internet what so ever. To quote the judge "he is out of the computer business". We do not expect him to abide by these conditions and any evidence of him returning to the internet will be pursued vigorously.

I expect Johnson to be transferred via the correctional system back to Ottawa shortly to face numerous fraud charges stemming from fraudulent internet trades. I expect he will be convicted there as well.

Thank you for all of your assistance with this investigation. Your information helped in getting one of the few convictions in this country for "Spamming" as a type of mischief to property. The service you provide is invaluable - please commend everyone involved! You have my utmost appreciation! Please feel free to post or disseminate this information.

Respectfully,

Subject: RE: Christopher Johnson

His Ebay userid was originally christophes_bay then he changed it to custom-import-auto. I won an auction he was hosting June 3, 2004 for a case of basketball cards. I sent him payment June 11, 2004 in the amount of $560 in the form of a USPS International Money Order. The email address that he used is christophe@quebec.every1.net. The mailing address that he gave me was:

599-B Younge St. (from my research, I think it’s actually Yonge St.)
Suite 201
Toronto, ON
M4Y 1Z4

The phone number he gave me was:
(416) 319-0261

He went by Chris/Christopher Johnson. He was booted from Ebay b/c someone else must have complained about him. I emailed him and he said that it was a misunderstanding about “Advanced Billing”. I started to become worried at this time that I may have been duped. After the date that my case was supposed to be shipped came and went, I tried to get in contact with him, but my emails do not get responses and he does not answer his phone. I started searching for information about him, his address, his phone number, etc, online and came across the traderlist.com website and your email. Please keep informed as to the status of his whereabouts and any legal matters concerning him that I may be interested in.

Dear Friends!

You are receiving this message because your Email was ONCE on now suspended "traderlist.com", it appears that democractic legal action has been taken and Network Solutions has decided to shut the slanderous group of Elf Trudy, Pat Edgerton, Monique Rollin (Canadian Inspector) and other assosicates down for good.

For years Traderlist.com pretended to be a "good samiritan" site which helped the good Traders deal with the bad. That was not the case, Traderlist.com rejected and rebuked the accused seller, individual which included minors which were not allowed to be name, let alone exploited, taking a one-sided approach and slandering thousands of good people across United States, Canada, Britan and spots around the world.

You may remember someone was even "convicted' for spamming Traderlist.com, another big lie exploited by Pat & Elf. The Police Officer, Det Sgt. Monique Rollin of Sault Ste. Marie (m.rollin@ssmps.org) turned out to be a convicted criminal! She was convicted of harrassing a young nurse with her gun, and placed over 100 calls to her line. These are the type of friends that Traderlist.com had.  (Det. Rollin was the person responsible for the arrest of Mr. Johnson. This email is in retaliation. He is still a fugitive.)

Now that Traderlist.com has been suspended by Internet Authorities and their domain provider, it is very important to only look at this as one positive step forward and continue to press a CIVIL DAMAGES SUIT against the slanderous trio of ELF TRUDY (elftrudy@aol.com) Pat Edgerton (pedger10@charter.net) and their other associate, I believe her name is Cindy Bungard- the founder of the illegal page.

IF you have lost money due to slander against you, you may be entitled to a legal process at the cost of the subject (in this case Traderlist.com webmasters) upon a ruling in your favour. There is a good chance that if you have received credibility damage, you can meet nearly a hundred of other angry sellers who would like to make it a joint-suit.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you who complained to the proper agencies regarding Traderlist.com's illegal actions. This has been a great victory against an evil smear campaign.

Please send this Email to all of your friends who may have also been victimized.

Stanford Wallace recently was rewarded with Prison time and levied a HUGE fine for spamming in the USA.

PAT EDGERTON,ELF TRUDY AND CINDY BUNGARD indirectly have caused you to receive thousands of SPAMS since they posted your Email on their site. Their site is SHUT DOWN NOW, THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO HELPED. (Site was temporarily down for maintenance and transferring files to a dedicated server.)

If you would like more information on possibly forming a civil suit against these crooks please Email me traderlistcivilsuit@yahoo.com

Thank you.
