If you have questions about the complaint,
please contact the person who it was filed by.

I was reading all the complaints on this site and some other women said that you had helped them get their stuff. Well I am new at this and this computer. I had bidded on ebay for aset of buddies (Maple, Brittania and Spangle ) back on Sept 4 and won. It was a dutch auction. I won and paid the amount of $197.88. My mother wanted me to bid on the set for her so I did and it was by the same person. Her set of 3 buddies cost her $ 189.00 ( Sept. 8 ). We were suppose to get the buddies by Dec. 21 or we would get a refund. Well we have found out that this person has stuck about 50 or more people on the buddies. He will not send them or give our money back. Someone e-mailed me and said that he got about $17,000. from all of the people who had won on these auctions. Now he is trying to sell the buddies on smartcollecting. So, we know he has them. His e-mail address is slice@home.com and his name is George Csicsila. And his mailing address is :

Please let me know what me and my mother can do about this person. I have e-mailed him several times and no answer. Thanks,

9/8/99 I won auction #157643607 on EBay for Britannia, Maple and Spangle Buddies and sent a money order for $219.03 to George Csicsila Jr at above address. This was a presell with delivery no later than 12/21/99 or refund in full. He had a high, positive feedback rating.He is not responding to any emails to me or about 53 similar sales based on the group mailings going on about this guy now. He has sent messages to some people that he will not provide refunds and he is not answering emails. EBay said their insurance policy will not cover our losses because they were not filed within 30 days after auction closed - which means any presells not delivered in 30 days will not be insured. He was at least temporarily banned from EBay and has since blocked feedback so traders can not see his recent activity. And I just see that he is now trading as slice@home.com on smartcollecting.com. #52609 and #52564 Selling Experience with Slice@home.com
11/7/99 George Csicsila won my auctions #193187496 and #193193199 for 2 Maple Buddies, Maple Beanie, Maple TBB, Peace, Halo and Snowboy Buddies for a total of $431.51. I provided him payment and mailing address on 11/8/99. Received no response.
11/17/99 Sent followup message requesting payment.
11/18/99 George Csicsila sent an email saying he was sorry; no excuses; he just dropped the ball on the 2 auctions; and he would put a payment in the mail.
11/19/99 George Csicsila asked if I would take a credit card. Told him no. I have never heard from him since except the negative feedback he posted to me (lolilalo) after I reported the situation on his user ID.
11/26/99 Sent 3rd followup message request payment.
11/26/99 Called George at 941-750-1497 with no response.
11/28/99 Sent final followup message to him and stated I would request value credit fee refund from EBay for non-payment.
11/29/99 I called EBay and am waiting a return call.
Any assistance you can provide would be most helpful. I have sent him $751.03. In addition, he did not honor 2 auctions with me for a total of $431.51 (fortunately I did not ship the items to him.)

I won a presell auction in Sept. for brittania, maple, and Spangle buddies. Slice@home.com guaranteed to ship by Dec. 21, 1999 and instead sent out a letter on Dec. 22, 1999 saying they will not give refunds. I have been contacted by several people who are going through the same thing and now I am trying to warn everyone I can. I would not want anyone to have to go through this. Beware, slice has moved to other sites, after be kicked of ebay twice in the last three months. Leslie

I recieved your email address from a person that I have never met but we share a common problem. We both bid on auctions for Maple, Brittania, and Spangle beanie buddies from the same person. The auction ended on 9-12-99. It was a presale so I mailed him a money order for $577.77 for 3 sets of these buddies on 9-15-99, and they were guaranteed by December 21st 1999. That day came and went with no buddies and on 12-22 he emailed a large number of people that had won these auctions and let us know that they have not recieved their buddies yet, no set date of when to expect them and that no refunds were being givin out. Here is his info:

HI, I am part of a group of people that have bid on auctions on ebay that the seller is now not honoring his part of the deal. Another person that is part of this told me to email you with the info. The EBAY auction # is 159577375 and closed back on 9/17. It was a presell auction with a guarantee delivery date of 12/21 or all monies would be refunded. the seller slice@home.com has since emailed saying there will be no refunds. Can you help? Diana O'Neill

My name is Karen Esterak and per the forwarded message below it was recommended that all of us that have been scammed by George R. Csicsila.Jr email you. ON 9/8/99 I bid on his presale auction for a Britannia, Maple and Spangle Buddies. He guaranteed delivery by 12/21/99 or he would gladly refund our money. I sent check for fullpay ($216.03) on 9/13 and he cashed it on 9/21. I noticed several weeks later that he had several hundred of these buddies listed on EBAY & I had already heard that each store would only get 6 per month. The auction I bid on was a dutch auction with 3 sets available which didnt sound unreasonable. I knew we were probably in big trouble though when I realized that he was selling hundreds of these buddies as there was little likelihood he would ever get enough to fill all the orders. I emailed him the end of September to inquire about this and did not get a response. On 10/7 he sent a generic response to everyone that we shouldnt send him emails as he "has hundreds of auctions on 4 different sites (I have no idea what the other 3 sites are) and he receives over 400 emails a day so all future emails would go unanswered." On 12/14, I emailed him to inquire whether or not he was going to be able to meet 12/21 deadline and if he wasnt, could I please get a refund. ON 12/17 I sent another email since I got no response to the 12/14 email and again inquired as to whether or not the buddies had been shipped or would be shipped in the next 2 days and if not could I please get my refund. ON 12/22 he sent a generic reply to everyone that he hasnt received all his orders and he will ship as soon as he gets the buddies. He further stated that "no refunds would be issued at this time." I emailed him and stated that I expected a refund since we had a legal contract and he guaranteed delivery by 12/21 or a full refund. I stated that if he was unwilling to refund my money I would have no choice but to contact USPS Postal Inspector, National Fraud INformation Center, the FBI, EBAY, etc. This time I got a personal reply. He advised me to "have fun filing my stupid claims and while I was wasting my time he was moving me to the end of his shipping list." I did post negative feedback on EBAY and I have been trying to contact National Fraud Center but their line is constantly busy. I will pick up claim form from Post Office this week. He advised someone else that it was a waste of time to file these claims as he knows they wont do anything. I have since emailed him 2 more times begging him to do the honorable thing because I dont want to have to take any actions against him and of course no reply. In the meantime 1 of the other individuals involved discovered that on 12/17 he listed the very buddies he supposedly doesnt have for sale on SmartCollecting.com for $150 each. I dont know whether he really has them & is trying to get more for them or if he is just trying to scam some more people. As stated previously he is apparently involved in several other sites but I am not sure what they are. He uses his email address: Slice@home.com on EBAY & Smartcollection.com. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much Karen ESterak

My auction ended September 3,1999 and I bid on 6 Brittania Buddies guaranteed to deliver no later than 12/21/99 or a full refund. Not only have I not received my buddies but no refund has been forthcoming. I mailed my check #1180 on September 4,1999 in the amount of $480.99 and it was cashed on September 10, 1999. The seller was George Csicsila Jr., 2740 Club Mar Drive #3c, Sarasota, Florida 34237. He has been very rude at times calling me an idiot and other names I won't print on the internet. I just kept asking him when I could receive my refund. I did get the paper work from the Inspector General at the post office and mailed it today as George had promised my refund would be forthcoming by the first of this week and now he wouldn't even answer my e-mail. So I didn't feel I had any choice. What district attorney should I call? Would it be the one here or where George lives? Thank you for any assistance you can give to me in this matter. Also George s e-mail address is slice@home.com

Hello - I understand we can contribute to the downfall of the above. I had won a presell auction for Britannia buddy for 101.10 plus 5.00 shipping. I have not heard from him nor have I received any merchandise. If you need any further information, please let me know. Thank you. Marcia Beierle

I was given your name by another buyer of Slices presale buddies. On Sept 7, 99 I purchased a Maple Buddy on a presale from George at Slice@home.com and he promised delivery on December 21st. He would not answer any emails, and only sent out two general, and very rude emails to all his buyers stating that there were delays and that we would get our buddies later. He also said that if we wanted a refund there would be a delay due to the default of many "deadbeat bidders". I sent him my cashiers check immediately after I won the auction and as of this time I have not received either my buddy or the refund. Lisa said that you were suggesting that we file a group mail fraud. I have written to George demanding either my buddy or a refund,and assuming that that does not happen, please tell me how to be included in the mail fraud filing against this seller. Thank you for your help

I hear you have info on slice. I sent george over $800.00 and he will not even return e-mail. please help david milanowski

I was told to contact you regarding Slice@home.com. I was the successful bidder for one on Slice's auctions for two Britannia Buddys. When I won the auction, Slice made several representations to me (listed below), he hasn't kept any of them.
(1) Delivery by 12/21/99. (No delivery to date.)
(2) Items would be shipped on a first-come, first served basis. I was sent a personal e-mail promising this. (Three Britannias were shipped to a gentlemen whose auction closed long after mine-I have an e-mail from him to prove it.)
(3) Money would be refunded immediately if Slice could not deliver by the date promised in the auction listing. (I did receive an e-mail on 12/22 offering me a refund-but not until 14 to 21 days after January 8, 2000.)
(4) That he had multiple contacts in Canada and England. (His bid history indicates otherwise, as he has been bidding--quite highly I might add--on Maples and Britannias for the past couple of months).
(5) That Slice would provide periodic status reports on the status of my order. I received nothing and all attempts to reach him have gone unanswered. I was advised to contact you and was told that you may be able to assist me. Anything you can do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much,

Called the att general for florida(850-487-1963). They told me to e-mail him again and see what he does. I did that just now. If he does not respond they will get involved. Thank god my father lives in sarasota, so he said he could help in the info gathering. Will let you know what goes on David

This must be a joke, we have hundreds of orders daily so if we're ripping people off why so many continuous orders? Seems the buyers are just impatient, they've been guaranteed a refund. They will be emailed when their refund is shipped. still getting 40-50 orders a day. I understand these buyers are impatient for their guaranteed refunds but they were guaranteed one. With so many going out, they will be slow but they're guaranteed! Have a good day!-slice-

I don't know what you can do for me if anything, but I will go ahead and send you the information per Kathy's request. I bought the subject buddies on ebay from;
George Csicsila Jr.
2740 Club Mar Dr. #3C
Sarasota, FL. 34237
on 9/10/99, yet he will niether deliver nor refund nor even answer email. It looks like I am out $191, and eBay could care less. I did file a complaint with the National Fraud Information Center and have not heard a word. This person should go to jail, directly to jail, he doesn't have any remorse whatsoever and continues to auction the same items on other sites. Thanks, Allan Moore

What do I need to do to register my complaint about slice@home@aol.com for not sending Buddy that was purchased Ebay Auction site? lisaerf sent me a email and said to contact you Thanks for any help you may be able to give me Debbie

I was high bidder on a Britannia Buddy pre-sell, eBay #152107117, which ended 9/3/99. I sent George Csicsila Sarasota, FL 34237) a U.S. Postal Money Order for $107.50 on 9/7/99. He guaranteed delivery by 12/21/99 or said he would "glady refund my money in full."I sent e-mails on 12/10/99 and 12/15/99 asking if he was going to be able to deliver. He did not reply until 12/22/99, with a generic e-mail saying the buddies were "held up in cusoms" since November. He said he would refund, but could not get the refunds out until late January. I told e-mailed back, saying I would be willing to wait a little longer for the buddy (until 1/31/99 if necessary). From the other complaints, it looks like he is either a scam artist or at the least an incredibly rude seller who makes little effort to follow through with his auctions. If I do not hear from him, I plan to send an e-mail on 1/28/99, and if he does not reply, I will send a formal complaint to the U.S. Postal Service.Whether he is a crook or just rude, he belongs on this caution list and should be avoided! I am glad someone has a local connection in Florida to check him out. If the investigation gets any action taken, please list me as one of his victims!

no where did I state they would have there refund on Dec. 21st. That's when I offered to have their product to them. If not by then, then they would get a refund with no time specification. -slice-

HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE ABOVE EMAIL ADDRESS AS A SCAMMER? HIS NAME IS GEORGE CSISLA AND I THINK HE JUST GOT ME FOR 300.00 I GOT A LETTER FROM EBAY SAYING HE'S BEING INVESTIGATED. I JUST WONDERED IF YOU'VE HEARD FROM HIM??

I TOO WAS SCAMMED BYSLICE@HOME. SLICE HAS $182. OF MY MONEY, REFUSES TO SEND REFUNDS TO ANYONE  ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE ME AS TO HOW TO CONTACT LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR SLICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

The following seller posted auctions I won in  Oct 1999, but they have NEVER YET sent me the merchandise I PAID FOR:  slice@home.com / George Csicsila, Jr. / $193.12  eBay ID: slice@home

While surfing through already ended auctions I found another user ID of this person-it is BeansnBuddys@aol.com also this is his new e-mail address. If you pull all the auctions for this man you can't tell that it is him until you place your mouse over his PayPal.com logos. When you do that it gave me his e-mail address that he has registered with PayPal, which is Slice@home.com I frequent your boards often and just happened to remember that name for some reason.I hope this info helps anyone who may need it! Thanks!  FlitterbyeU

slice@home.com - George Csicsila Jr.

A few days ago on Metaexchange I sold an item to a individual who indentified themself as: Eric Striker  learjet2000beans@aol.com
When I recieved his mailing address it was:
Bob Reichert
PO box 37542
Sarasota,Fl.34278

When he sent me money it was from
George Csicsila Jr.
slice@home.come

Everyone might want to be careful doing business with any of these names.

I too have been awaiting a refund in the amount of $107.51 on a presell auction for a Britannia Buddy. The auction #is: Ebay 152106918 ending 8/29/'99. Seller:
George Csicsila Jr.
2740 Club Mar Dr.#3C
Sarasota, FL 34237.
Personal check #1066, in the amount of $107.51, dated 9/6/'99, cleared 9/14/'99. On 12/22/''99 received the same email from seller re: the Brit Buddies being held up in customs in Miami referred to in numerous other complaints. Last email received from seller on 1/14/'00 stated "I hope to have your refund to you very soon. I'll be in touch." Has not answered any of my emails since.Auction guaranteed delivery by 12/21/'99, or money gladly refunded. Have filed a formal complaint with Ebay's Safe Harbour, contacted the Federal Trade Commission @ 1-877-382-4357. This is a toll free number you can use to file a complaint with them. Next step is the FL ATTY GEN office.Phone number (850) 487-1963. If anyone has any other avenues or has had some success please email me directly at: chap1097@aol.com.  Judy Chapman

here is a copy of this guys about me page that I got last night before he pulled the page. He registered the account under a false contact name and I found him by clicking on his paypal logo on his auction page, then click on join now and scroll down to the referred by box and bingo- there it was, slice@ home.com. Here is what I copied from his about me page before he deleted it this morning. I have it printed out with the eBay logo and stuff at the top of the page. I can fax you a copy if you want. Just let me know and please include the fax number again just in case I can't find it. Pretty bold, don't you think? Someone has got to find a way to stop this guy. If you need to know anything else, just ask. I reported it to safe harbor at ebay, but he's still there.Thanks again, Robert

"This page is maintained by mybubber@aol.com (1)THE TRUTH ABOUT ME

HERE YOU WILL FIND THE TRUTH ABOUT ME AND ALL MY OTHER FICTICIOUS NAMES

I go by the following other ebay names...THUNDERBIRD-5, BEANIEHUT2000, BEANSNBUDDYS, INEEDMYBEANIES, LEARJET2000BEANS, OSITOBUDDY, PEACEMAKER243, SLICE@HOME.COM, NYSLICE, & TYADDICTD, AND MANY MANY MORE. I have give NEW MEANING to the words SCAM ARTIST. I have ripped hundreds of innocent people off and also I have ripped ebay off for several thousand dollars. I have made most all of my other names feedback private so people could not see what a louse I reall am. I have been reported to Ebay numerous times and I keep getting suspended but nothing is really done. I am good and I am out there just waiting for the next person whom I can take their money!!! "

I just posted a complaint that Eric Striker has ripped me off for $1,063.00 from a metaexchange.com buy I did. Meta has since suspended him but not before he has obviously done his damage.I need help in pursuing this "person". I have searched the "George" page you posted on him and it looks like he has been at this for quite a long time. How can someone get buy with this with so many "legal" complaints to the authorities about him? Do they just take the complaint and don't do anything? I want to nail this guy - he has just angered me beyond belief! What is even sadder is I have been around a long time buying/selling and that I've been "taken" by someone with a "high rating" on Metaexchange.com makes me wonder what he does to people that are new to the net or don't know the ropes. Thanks for your time. Mary R. Milazzo

CAUTION, Do not deal with this man. I hate to say it but with all of the alias this man has, I wouldn't send money to anybody I met or found over the internet from his town unless I called and talked to them in person.I think he is using aol and free email sources to give himself lots of email addies. He then is using a credit card, nothing on ebay says that multiple accounts made with the same credit card will be prosecuted. He is legit with a couple of his accounts and rips people off with his other accounts. On all of his accounts, I am sure that you will find feedback from his other accounts. This man will use any site to get your money, if I didn't know any better I would think this is a kid doing it for kicks and money. Apparently, he posted a page on ebay bragging about how many different ids he has had and how he sets people up buying minor buddies. When a major item like Sakura or the international buddies come out, he does mass presell auctions, taking 50 people or more in less than a couple of weeks. The rest of the time, he almost never answers email concerning when he is delivering. The beauty of it all, he mimics legit sellers, making it hard to find him by his ads alone. If you use ebay, please write them, call them, or even drive to their head quarters and talk them into changing their policy concerning new members. They should be checking if a member/exmember is using the same name, same address, and same credit card to open an account as someone either booted from the system or currently in the system. On the other sites, if you see one of George's alias on another site, send them everything you know about this guy. They won't want him on the site if they hear from dozens of people and check his various addies out on ebay. Leslie the hopping mad alaskan

traders  name: Lisa Ricci

Sent two seperate MO for $600 & $306. Next day after auctions closed. 8/22/00. Have received no beanies or buddies. Will not answer Email or phone calls. Have notified local authorities in her town. Hoping to get answers soon. I have been Emailed by seven others who have the same problem with this individual. Will encourage them to also file complaints on this site. We have all left neg. feedback on her site, It seems to be the high $$ she is not sending. She has lots of positive feedback, but is only for $2.00 items and those in multiples. She in the meantime, has 6 pages of listings under Ty-authentic-only.Please help us to stop her from scamming any more. There are thousands of dollars involved now and she is still in operation. I have notified Ebay about her actions and also filed with Lloyds of London. I have $906 out there and no beanies. I have also contacted and am working with her local authorities in Holmes Beach Fl. I just talked with a Detective Nancy Rogers who is building a case. We have over 10 other individuals who have also been scammed. How do we get her off her auction site.

Never have received Email or phone calls, until yesterday after the Detective had her in her office questioning her. It promped her to go home and answer the emails of many who have not received merchandise. Denies all acusations and will not cooperate with authorities. Thanks again Phyllis in Iowa

I have a message from a detective Nancy Rogers in Holmes Beach Fl. who is investigating Crowderbeanies@aol.com. Lisa Ricci or Reichert. She is a part of a group who are doing big time scamming. The group is headed by a George Scicsila. If you will go to this site, it will tell the story of these people. http://www.geocities.com/iluvbc2/ineedmybeanies.htm). Detective Rogers has just informed me that in her investigations of Lisa Ricci, and George Scicsila, that they are involved in scamming as many as 450 people on the net and involving THOUSANDS of $$. George has a criminal record in Sarasota, and has threatened bodily harm to the person who has set up this web site to expose he and other scammers. If you have any info on these people, please contact

Detective Nancy Rogers of Holmes Beach Fl. Investigations.

Email. hbdetective@hotmail.com  

I Just talked with Detective Nancy Rogers today. She is investigating George and Lisa Reichart in the Holmes Beach Fl. area. She is compiling Affidafits from as many as she can who have been scammed by these two. He only lives blocks from the Police station she works out of. She has had him in for questioning. Lisa many times. They are feeling the heat, I think Lisa is getting nervous, but George must be a real BAD ONE as he is so smug and keeps a grin the time of questioning. Nancy is so close to making an arrest, I just hope they don't vanish before she gets it done.She is really interested in this case and is working hard to get an arrest and conviction. Will keep you updated. I have filed with everybody I know of. I have sent over $900 in MO to these people. L of L from Ebay will only cover up to $200. I just want to see a conviction at this point. I know I will never see my money from these people, but at least maybe we can stop them. Thanks Phyllis in Iowa

His name (as far as I know) is George Csicsila.  (wildagain1984@hotmail.com). He gave me an address of PO Box 72, Cortez, Florida. 34215. He has cashed my MO after he told me that he was sending it back to me after he stated that $5.95 was not enough shipping to send me the buddy I bought. I have contacted the USPS to no avail. I can not find a way to contact the fraud police. Please, if you can help, let me know.
Thank you in advance,
Fed up in BC.

This person contacted me on 9/24/03 to make a purchase for 4 valors. To date I still have not received the money and the other party has not responded to any emails since The one indicating payment had been mailed.

This person is in Cortez, FL.

Beware of dealing with this person.

Eeshmay907@aol.com-  George CSICSILA

This man cashed my check, did not send merchandise, and ignores emails. From what I have read about him, I am lucky it was not a large amount of money.
