**Update May 31, 2001
Garland, Texas police have advised that victims of
Dave Kopp from Garland or McKinney,
Texas should not call their office, but that it is imperative
that they report the fraud to the Internet Fraud Division, as they are the
one's doing the investigating and compiling the evidence on this. You can
file a report online at www.ifccfbi.gov
. It is extremely important that you do this and only takes
a few minutes. The more reports they get on him the better. They have no
way of knowing how many people he has ripped off unless the victims report
it.

Complaint filed by: jazjer@earthlink.net (Michiko Robinson)
I'm coming to you again for some help. I have done some business with
an individual many times over and had no problems, so we ventured into an
agreement that he would get 12 Nipponias from me and make payments. The total
was for $726.45. I have done over 5 transactions with him that were over
$100.00 on each one with no problem. He always sent payment promptly and
was not listed on your bad traders list. I think now he just needs the formal
letter you send to encourage him to follow through. I will forward his emails
from him to you. I guess I was too trusting, but who wouldn't be if you had
been dealing with this person for a while? He has told me that a mo is in
the mail, but it's been over a week and still today, no payment. My last
email he hasn't answered, so I think he is thinking this over some. I hate
to bother you about this but would appreciate any help you could give. I
will also contact Metaexchange because this is where we have done all our
business. His name is
Dave Kopp

Dave Kopp has expressed me a payment of $187.00 of the $727.00 he owes
me. It was mailed after I threatened to come to McKinney, TX and file a small
claim on him. So I am waiting now for the rest of the payments.

I have emailed this guy a couple of times with no response/reply. His
last email was that I would get some payment this past week. This has dragged
on since January and he is still owing me $520.00. Maybe the letter will
get him to do something more. I believe if he is going through some tight
times, he should say so. Plmk if he opens your email. Thanks M.

i sent jazjer@earthlink.net $180.00.
March 27, 2001
Update filed by: jazjer@earthlink.net (Michiko Robinson)
I am a bit upset with this man because he bought these Nipponias back
in January when I could of easily received $65.00 for each and sold to him
for $60.00. I told him that he has to keep to the payment he states he has
already mailed $180.00, then we can deal with the other 6 bears left. He's
had these bears since January, for over 2 months!! I want him still posted
on the bad trader's list because if anyone else deals with him, he decides
what rules he wants to follow and that is very wrong. In this case, I will
loose atleast $120.00 on the 6 bears. Thanks M.
April 2, 2001
Update filed by: jazjer@earthlink.net (Michiko Roberson)
Right now he said he would go ahead and finish the actual transaction,
sending me a payment today and then two combined on Friday. I told him actually
all I wanted was him to be honest with me. I allowed him to send the bears
back, but then he decided he would go ahead and keep the original agreement.
So I will see what happpens by this Friday. Thanks M.
April 11, 2001
Update filed by: jazjer@earthlink.net (Michiko Robinson)
No, he hasn't mailed the payment, claimed he mailed it and it came back,
then he said he would mail another payment or actually the remain 2 payments
on Friday, so that should of completed the trade. I was going to give him
a couple of days for it to arrive from Texas, no later than Thurs. I will
email you tomorrow regarding if payment comes in. Thanks for checking up
on me. M.
April 13, 2001
Update filed by: jazjer@earthlink.net (Michiko Robinson)
The total was $727.00 that he owed me and he made one payment of $187.00.
Now he still has a balance of $520.00 or 9 Nipponia beanies. He purchased
at $60.00 for each Nipponia back in January. I email Steve at Metaexchange
and he said that Dave is now suspended as being a customer since March, so
I guess he might of done something else to someone too. Anyways, I went to
the Internet fraud site and already submitted a claim and will get a fraud
claim form from my Post office. I have let Dave know this too and will then
contact the Police Department there. I guess he must of hit rock bottom and
he must not have my Nipponias, so that is why he hasn't mailed them back.
Thanks M

I would like to file a complaint against Dave Kopp who goes by the name

April 10 for an auction on a Nipponia beanie baby that I had won. I even
sent it confirmed delivery so I know he received my money. He even confirmed
it by e-mail. I have e-mailed him several times and he doesn't respond. He
has my money and I have nothing. This was over a month ago. I recently e-mailed
him again giving him the opportunity to update me on the situation. Nothing.
So I e-mailed again. This time I gave him the opportunity to send the Nipponia
or send me a refund or I was going to do as many others have done and file
charges. Still nothing from him. Please help if you can. Thanks, Angela

I was referred to you by a Nancy Barrrett, who said you helped her get her merchandise from D Kopp. I ordered two items from him by sending a money order on April 17. I have e-mailed him on several ocassions and he did reply last on May 6, asking me to send my address so he could look into it. I have heard nothing since. He has since closed his e-mail address. Could you please let me know I should go about getting my items or my money back? Thanks for any help. P. Mason edmasonfamily@earthlink.net

Has also used the names Gilbert Kopp, Taylor Kopp and Evan Kopp, who claimed to be his son but used the same 3 or 4 word emails and same mailing address. When I questioned this, I was told he used his dad's emails because he didn't like to type. Evan used the email theboss2000tk@netscape.net I had bought and payed for 3 Nipponia and 1 Buckingham beanie from Dave Kopp which I never received. He tried to tell me the bears had been sent, but could produce no postal confirmation no.s to verify this. This was at least a month ago. He then told me he will send the bears. As of this date he has not sent me anything and is no longer answering any emails. I paid him $170 for these bears, and have nothing in return. I recently saw him on this list and realized I was not the only one having problems with him. I have dealt with him in the past without any problems other than slow delivery, but it would seem that he has been selling beanies he doesn't have, or perhaps just refuses to ship. I would never buy from him again. From the amount of complaints about him on this list, it seems he has been ripping off a lot of people. I don't give away free money to scam artists and intend to persue this any way I can.
WON BID FOR BUCKINGHAM BEANIE AND FOR NIPPONIA. SENT CHECK FOR $85.50, IT WAS RECEIVED AND CASHED. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY BEANIES. WON'T ANSWER EMAILS AND NOW THE EMAIL ADDRESS I HAD IS NO LONGER. FIRST TIME BUYER AND IT WASN'T THAT WONDERFUL OF AN EXPERIENCE. I WILL FIND HIM ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AND WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND.
In March, I ordered two beanies from this guy. At first he seemed nice, now he is just impossible. Kept asking for my mailing address like he didn't have it before. Says he mailed my beanies twice, still haven't received anything. All of this happened before everyone was posting. Now I think this person just got way in over his head. I either want my beanies or my money. I sent him $64.45 for Nipponia and Issy. Dave...you need to get this situation under control or you will wind up in jail.
I won an auction on TyTrade.com with this person listed as the seller with a user name of joexx. I sent him a US postal money order to cover the winning bid and shipping. He did not send me the item. He has ignored my emails and written correspondense. I have files a complaint with the IFCC. He sometime goes winer the name of Gilbert Kopp. I think that I have lost my money.

same beanies that he has failed to deliver before, and a lot of them, right
now on Yahoo under the user name igotbeanies2001, which is one of the names
he had used prior on another auction site. Appears that Mr. Kopp is still
continuing to sell with all the complaints that have been filed aginst him
and doesn't even have the sense to change user names. He is selling lots
of Nipponias and Issys. The same beanies that he has been reported for

to see the numerous complaints that have been filed on this man. He has a
very long history of non delivery on Tytrade under the names joexx and joeaa
and more. Right now he is still selling on Yahoo under the user name igotit2001
and is starting to also get negative feedback there for the same thing. He
has ripped of a lot of people for a lot of money. If you are a victim of
him it is extremely important that you file an internet fraud report. You
can do this online at www.ifccfbi.gov It is easy to do and only takes a few

Dave Kopp aka Gilbert Kopp, Taylor Kopp and Evan Kopp, who had been operating
under different user names on Tytrade is still selling under 2 different
names on Yahoo, one of which is igotbeanies2001, which he has also used on
different auction sites and isn't smart enough to change. He still hasn't
refunded the money he owes me and a lot of other people, nor does he answer
his email. The last few times I did hear from him, which has been a while,
he claimed his "computer was sick" and that's why he can't answer email.
Apparantely his computer is well enough to list and sell hundreds of items
on Yahoo. Anybody having the misfortune of having dealt with this person
and not getting the beanies they paid for and their money stolen, be sure
to contact internet fraud. The address is listed on the NEWSFLASH page and
also on his bad trader page. To people who are considering bidding on any
of his auctions, Don't. You'll be throwing your money away. Dave Kopp is
one of the biggest crooks around. Please be sure to check the April and May
pages to view the numerous complaints on him.

Anybody who has been a victim of Dave, Gilbert, Evan or Taylor Kopp of
McKinney, Texas, Please contact detective Jeff Taylor at
jtaylor@mckinneytexas.org
he is investigating this case and needs all the help he can get from you
in stopping this crook. Right now he is selling on Yahoo under several different
user names one of which is c_c_inc, which Mr. Kopp has previously denied
was him. He has other user names and email addresses too numerous to mention.
Also, if you have not done so already, file an internet fraud report online
at www.ifccfbi.gov It is extremely important that you do this.

I had won an auction of his..I sent payment one day after auction closed.
AFTER 26 days and 17 emails and bad feedback left on yahoo I rec'd my
beanies..but trust me it was a fight every inch of the way! He wouldnt supply
me with shipping info and he was nasty. He sabotaged my feedback b/c i left
him bad feedback...I wish i knew about this site before i bought from him.
I will NEVER buy from him again and i wish he could be stopped. He is selling
tons of beanies on yahoo and I feel badly for his next victim...I am lucky
i rec'd my beanies which were just thrown in a box, without a plastic bag.
The tush tags are creased and not mint as he said. I do belive it was spite
, b/c of the way he packed them. all i can say is BUYERS BEWARE! and thank
you to a woman who saw i was having problems with him and alerted me to the
fact he is a rip off. BEWARE AUCTIONERS!

This is an update to the previous complaint I left on May 13. Just this
past week I have finally received a refund for the Nipponia I ordered and
paid for to Dave Kopp. It was a long battle and after countless e-mails and
nagging him I was able to recover my loss. Good Luck to all of you others
out there. Persistance pays off!!

What a great day!! I received the trade from the UK. about $150.00 less
than when it should of arrived, but here, she mailed to a friend in the states
and had it forwarded to me. Then I received the final payment in full from
Dave Kopp, the whole $360.00!!!! Hard to believe I would even see the results
on this but it came through. Now I want to see Barbara get her $170.00 which
he claims to have mailed. Will also post on the board he made this payment.
Sent it via Fedex express. M.

Thank you so much for your info on Dave Kopp. After several badgering
him using threats of mail fraud, forwarding other mail fraud people that
had been arrested, he finall sent the two Issy beanies I paid for. I could
not have done it without you. Thank you so much again. It wasn't really the
money, it was the issue. I had even contacted the post office and they had
just sent the info for me to fill out and send back. Didn't have to do it
though thanks to you. Sharon Wineman

Just thought I would give all you Dave, Gilbert, Taylor and Evan Kopp
fans out there a little up-date. After Mr.Kopp emailed me on June 13,2001
and again on June 20, 2001 telling me that my refund for the 4 auctions on
which he stole the money has been sent, the lousy scum has finally refunded
the money into my Paypal account on July 2nd. It sure was a coincidence that
earlier on that same day I also received an email from a detective at the
McKinney, TX police dept. informing me that charges had been filed against
Mr. Kopp. You don't think this could have had any thing to do with it do
you? He also left a little message that sounded a little threatening along
with it.

Hi...I filed a complaint against Dave Kopp aka Gilbert Kopp in reference
to 3 transactions I paid him for on the Ty Trade auction site in April 2001.
I submitted a cashier's check in the amount of $80.45 for 3 winning bids
on 2 Nipponia beanie babies and 1 Issy beanie baby and I still have not received
them. I have been communicating with Nancy Barrett today and she gave me
your email address because she was aware of my past dealings with him. She
also had informed me about the "badtraderlist" and so I just filed my complaint.
I would really appreciate any help you might give me in this matter. Thank
you, Bonnie Rancel

I won 2 separate auctions on Bidville for Sakura Buddy and Niponnia Beanie
from Dave Kopp operating under beaniesho1@aol.com in March 2001. He cashed
both money orders, but never shipped the bears to me. I have contacted him
on many occasions but he still refuses to cooperate with me. I have also
filed a complaint with the Internet Fraud Squad. He's currently operating
under Fastcomputersfor@aol.com on Yahoo. This man is a total crook and has
ripped-off many honest people to the tune of $1000's. He must be stopped.

I bid & won 4 auctions on YAHOO from DAVE KOPP, located at the time in

These auctios were won on

All of these were for BUCKINGHAM beanies.YAHOO presell # 42576772, # 42814959, # 43013381, # 43169592
I sent him a personal check in NOV. 2000 & he endorsed it on NOV.
4 or 11, 2000 (I still have that cancelled check + email copies he sent me.
I had to email him several times as to status of shipment, as I had also
won 3 other beanies, which he finally sent to me, after several emails. He
promised me the next shipment of beanies, but never sent them. So I am out
$ 324.00 from dealing with this FRAUD.
I know that he pleaded NO CONTEST in Texas.
I think he is back on YAHOO under the ID name of FASTCOMPUTERS 2000. He is
just getting some bad ratings.
Please help me if you can.

I sent money for an America beanie baby on the 3rd of November. He told
me the bear was shipped last wedensday the 14th of November and I have not
recieved the Beanie. Now he will not respond to my email. Guess that I have
learned a lesson from buying on the internet. Buyers beware do not send him
money you will not recieve anything in return.
