I am a new Beanie collector and have only made 3 trades/purchases so far using the internet. Two went well, one did not. Connie Olson took $30 of my money and I got nothing in return. Her e-mail address she used for the "deal" was: cmo_biloxi_ms@yahoo.com. I've noticed that someone else reported her as a bad trader and she was using a different yahoo address. I've reported her fraudulant dealings with yahoo, and as of yet haven't heard anything back from them. I was lucky to only be out $30, I've heard from people that are out a lot more! Someone even e-mailed me today saying that Connie is in jail for check fraud. Not enough bad things can be said about this person.

I think you really need to add Connie Olson to your scam artist list. She took $200 from me and lots from other people that sent me email when I posted a note looking for her and warning others about her illegal practices. I was a fool and I know it. $200 is not a fortune, but it was mine. I have documentation from Connie , etc. let me know if you can. Thanks. Cris

This person e-mailed me a list of Beanie babies that were retired and at awfully good prices. So I have sent a Money Order and now I see that someone has complained about a woman named Connie Olson from Boloxi, MI.  That is the same town as this Micha Lee Olson is from. She gave this Address: Micha Lee Olson 15304 Big Ridge Rd. Biloxi, MI.

I had a bad trade this past week. I had placed an ad on the Ty net for retired beanies. I had recieved an e-mail from a preson that said she had what I was looking for. She sent me a list of beanies that she was selling from $15.00 to $25.00. I asked her to give me a phone number and she responded by saying she doesn't give out ph.#'s. So, I gave her mine. She called me up, we talked for 20 minutes and said that I send a MO to her for half of the amount that I was going to buy and the other half when I recieved the beanies. Sounded good to me but, then a few minutes later, I recieved another call. It has her father. He reassured me that she was 18 and she does have the beanies that I wanted. End of call. So I sent a mo to her for $300.00. I haven't heard from her since.I tried to e-mail her several times and no response. I did do some checking out for myself, however, she doesn't live at that address or her father doesn't. Perhaps they just gave me a false name. Here is the address that she gave me: micha99@yahoo.com (micha lee)

Micha Lee Olson
15304 Big Ridge Road
Biloxi,MS 39532

I call a tax asessor down in Jackson Co. and they said the property belongs to Maynard C. Olson Jr.. I even tried the phone co. and they said that there is no phone line to that address, not even an unlisted or private number.

I was scammed for 150.00.... I ordered tabasco & a few others. I sent her a money order by FED EX. At the moment I have a few friends that are working on getting a case together. I live about 5 hours from this girl. I gave her my 800# at work and she called and then put her dad on the phone. She is only about 15 or 16. I think her father is behind all this!



I was scammed by this person in Nov. I have wrote and called the sherriff about her and her father!!Her real name is Connie Olson! She is 30 years old!! Here is the name of the sherriff collecting info on her:
Harrison County Sheriff Department

Gulfport, MS 39503

Connie Olson
DOB: 9/6/67

Please add the names Charlie Rose, Maynard Olson,Chase Young, Dean Seals, Connie Olson, Susan Young, and the e-mail address comp1@altavista.net to your bad traders lists. This is a father and daughter con artist couple who have stolen thousands of dollars from innocent people. They have been reported to the Biloxi police and the FBI, who are working on a case against them for prosecution. In the mean time, they go on doing business and ripping off more people. Please warn everyone to be wary of anyone from Biloxi right now. It's probably these two at work under an alias.
