I wish that I had saved her references! This was one post that I did not save as once I checked a few, I deleted it! I am out a MWMT Chops! I was trading her for a MWMT Germania! Got the same hahaha in my message about original shipping, too! Isn't that nice. I got some song about how she had previously sold the Germania, but was expecting another in trade from someone else who is late in sending their part. Now, almost a month later, I still have no Germania and she has my gorgeous Chop. Until this past tues. she did correspond with me. Now, I feel that it is a matter for the authorities. This is mail fraud and is a crime in the US. I don't know about Canada. AnnI have 2 email address for her: the gemmy1 one and rrjjns@nbnet.nb.ca. She claimed to have problems with one of them because of a trader blocking her mail in the gemmy1.

On Friday 14th May I agreed a trade with Raymonde Leaman (gemmy1@nbnet.nb.ca). The trade was for my MWMT Britannia, PVC Princess & Spangle for her MWMT Garcia & Maple. She said she would mail the bears on the Saturday by priority mail.She gave me her address for posting: Raymonde Leaman 797 mount carmel street bathurst, New Brunswick E2A 2B9 Canada. The next day I found out that my post office do not operate priority mail on a Saturday so I told her that I was unable to send on that day but asked her if she had sent mine. This was her reply: "yes your are all gone., that is ok ill wiat for yours, Ill be on the lookout hahahha raymonde" Over the next few weeks I mailed her several times to check how long it was likely to take for the bears to arrive but she did not respond. Only when I left a message on one of her newsgroups asking for a reply did she get in touch. One of the newsgroup members got in touch with me and asked what our trade had been. The message read "What was your trade? Don't tell me a Maple!!!! He has 5 of them in the works, and no one has their Maples!!!!" (they thought Raymonde was male) On the 5th June I sent a message advising that, unless I received some positive communication from her (with regards to her honouring her side of the trade) I would take the matter further. She replied within 11 minutes and said that she had received my parcel and she couldn't understand why I hadn't received hers. On the 6th June I wrote asking her for the mail reference number so that we could attempt to trace the parcel. She responded but completely ignored that request. She told me she would return my items. I then arranged another trade for those items and asked her to send them directly to the new trader (within Canada) by UPS with tracking. She sent me a message on the 8th June saying "Hi how are you just camehome from the post office here is the number that i have 46 080 489 727 and it is send exress post thanks raymonde." I tried looking that number up on the UPS page & also the Canada Post page and both say that it is not a valid number. My new trader said that, within Canada, it would only take a couple of days for her to receive an Expresss package and she has received nothing. Then, last night, I discovered that someone else on one of my newsgroups has a problem with Raymonde. I could copy her details to show her bad trade too but, as I have not asked her permission, I would prefer to put her in touch with this page so that she can decide whether she wants to leave feedback. KInd regards, Stephanie.

June 21, 1999
Cautionlist tried to email this person again on June 21 to notify them of another complaint and to let them know they were being placed on the bad traders list. None of the emails were current ones. They were still current on June 14.

Complaint filed by: Gdmonica@aol.com

I ordered one magic for 15.00, then ordered a second one five minutes later. She gave me the same thanks for bidding letter on each one. I explained that I was the same person who had just bid a couple of minutes ago, and perhaps shipping would be cheaper by sending two at once. That is where the 35.00 comes in. On many occasions, I asked to call her so we could work thru this additional trade with flutter and bessie. I knew she was a scammer, but wanted to talk to her and try to see her game. Also try to figure out what was up with the magics. She refused to give out her number. I gave her mine and told her to call collect. She told me she would, but never did. Sometimes she wouldnt answer my emails, so I used another email name of mine gdandrea14@aol.com. Up till this morning, she was still emailing me. Now both her email addresses come back returned user unknown.One other point that I dont want you to get confused on. The negative feedback that was posted was not from me, but from another she scammed. I believe she sold mulitple items to about 30 people at least, if not more. The items are only listed for one month before disappearing. I believe she sold 6 using boyd77.

Complaint filed by: dayjay@together.net

My name is Judy Powers and I have a user ID of dayjay1.I purchased an item on nobidding.com from a USER, called boyd77, this person was sent a money order for purchase a month ago and never sent the item and will not return my emails. I also received an email from another user who claims she was also scammed by this woman. I also find it interesting that there is another seller on ebay with the same ID boyd77. My money order was to be sent to a man, Randy Leaman, from bathhurst, New Brunswick/ the boyd77 on ebay is a woman ,Sue Moore from Mocton New Brunswick, and the woman who mailed me said that this was a woman named Gemmy, what is even scarrier is that whoever this is still has autions running on these sites. Hope this info helps to stop creeps like this!   Keep up the good work!   dayjay1/Judy Powers

Several days ago I posted neg. feedback on No-Bidding for a Gemmy1@nbnet.nb.ca. I have lost over $150.00 to this person on beanies never received. They also go by the name Boyd77@nbnet.nb.ca. There are many others who have been scammed by this person. scammed I would love to see the postal service trace all the money orders that have been sent to her.Marjie

Information on Raymonde Leaman
I have found a phone number for a Randy Leamon using the address I sent my money to. It is 506-546-3504. Raymonde's or Randy's husband was talked to by one of the people that had complaint. Not sure if he is in the scam also. He says that he
thought it was just one or two people and he thought it was all straightened out by now. Said they got a couple of beanies back in the mail and a couple were stopped at duties. How would he know that? Seemed real curious about the identities of the people who complained. Said he wasnt aware his mail service was turned off. He wanted to know about my website that would inform him of all the complaints. Told him I didnt have a web site.I wouldnt give him my email address, but I did do something equally stupid. They are using all 3 emails on ebay, and a fourth one is possibly theirs. It is poka23@nbnet.nb.ca. Havent had this verified yet. I used the ebay service that lets members get phone numbers and info on people. I get their info, they get mine. Typed in all four email addresses. He says he is going to contact cautionlist elf tomorrow to straighten everything out. Please keep informed. Cautionlist does not think that it will hear from them again. But all info will be placed her that I can find out.


June 23, 1999
Update from: Kltohio@aol.com

I have started mail fraud proceedings and was told by my local post master to contact the Royal Mounted Canadian Police at 1-888-495-8501. I have left the money order number with the local post master who will help. Please call the Canadian Police. They are willing to help.Karen Trick

On 05/20/99, I purchased a Sparky beanie from gemmy1@nbnet.nb.ca from NoBidding.com. I mailed out a MO on 05/21/99 to this person and have yet to receive the beanie or a refund. The e-mail address is returned as user unknown. Since this person is from Canada I was wondering if you could tell me what to do. I noticed that they are now on the bad traders list, but was not there when I made the purchase. I do not want anyone else getting ripped off by her. Thank you for your help.Belleflash e mail address CKe7535639@aol.com

Update from: Dottie8400@aol.com

after a horrible weekend thinking boutRandy, Raymone, or Marie, whoever and seeing what she written about those of us who contacted authorities cant wait for her to get hers. The latest from my friend at police dept. a cpl Oneil has the file, his #506/548-0420. l just called , the officer who answered said Oneil wont be here till Fri. l told i would give out this #, he said tell them Oneil will be out till fri. seems things go her way. the file #is 5349. She has told she sent out pkgs 2 weeks ago and thinks mine was in there!!Lies lies no one who l talked to has received anything. We get no support from ebay and they let her say bad things. She says as soon as she sells her beanies , we cant find out where, she would send money.When you only try to buy a beanie and get into this mess it makes me want to stop collecting, or boycot ebay.

Add me to the list of people scammed by this person. She used the name Randy Leaman and e-mail of boyd77@nbnet.nb.ca with me.

I have been contacted by others who have had problems with this person and it seems that the list is continuously growing!!

Complaint filed by: tikim@iolnm.net

On May 10th I ordered 2 sets of '97 teenie beanie babies at a cost of $160.00 + $5 shipping from this person. On 5-12 I mailed a United States Postal Money Order to their 797 Mount Carmel St. Bathurst,New Brunswick Ca. address. I didnt know that it took extra postage so it was returned to me. I remailed it with the proper postage on 5-18 and emailed them to let them know so they wouldnt think that I was not going to pay them. Raymondes reply was "That is all right I dont mind waiting, thanks raymonde" I wish I'd known then what I know now!! I have emailed them several times, including my being dumb enough to O.K. a swap with them, and never recieved another reply. I purchased these items off of No-Bidding so when I couldnt get anywhere with my emails, I reported them to NoBid. The reservation code is x83448.I also posted a neutral feedback on ebay hopping to warn others. I am working with the U.S. Postal Service and will not hesitate to press charges. Raymond, I expect you to retaliate in a negative manner because you have done that to everyone else that has come forward with the truth about you. I just want everyone to know that no matter which 1 of your ID.s or Email names you use there are enough of us to track you now. At last count there were 17 of us, and the total is going up every day! AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR NEW EMAIL ADDRESS

Add me to the Raymonde Leaman Club... I sent her (gemmy1@nbnet.nb.ca) money for an auction that ended May 13 and have yet to receive anything... Since we are both in Canada, it should not have been a long process... Also, I sent extra for insurance and tracking so the parcel could be located or the money refunded if something happened.. Well it did happen! I did not received my toys! When I inquired as to the staus of the parcel, she said it had been shipped... When inquired again, I got no response... When I emailed her again, I found the email address was no longer valid... After some searching, I found other email addresses for her, most of which were invalid, but 2 still worked..rrjjns@nbnet.nb.ca & leamanr@yahoo.com...I asked Raymonde to send the postal # on the package receipt and asked for the insurance # and information so that the post office could lookinto it... Well, Raymonde has not sent me that info to me... So I am out $133.00USD... As of today (June 30), there have been 27 people (and climbing) that have not received their items from her!

I would like this to go on the record of Raymonde Leaman. I made a trade with them on Ebay for two Beanies. I sent them the money order on 5/17/99.  After 3 weeks of waiting I. E-mailed them and asked about the merchandise she  said her husband sent them out ground mail when I. Emailed her again after  another 3 weeks I was told it went out air mail. Well, needless to say I  still haven't received my two beanies.

Thank you, Michaele Balzarano

Complaint filed by: mary@sinbad.net

Please add me to your list of those who have been scammed by Raymonde Leaman. My email address is mary@sinbad.net. I sent Raymonde Leaman an International Money Order (#70215194970) on May 11, 1999 in the amount of $53.00. I mailed the money order to her address: 797 Mount Carmel Street, Bathurst, New Brunswick E2A 2B9 Canada. She did email me using the email address of rrjjins@nbnet.nb.ca and confirm that she did receive the money order I mailed her. She also emailed me and told me she mailed my package out on May 21, 1999. When her package did not arrive in a timely manner I got concerned and emailed her about it. I asked her if she insured it as I felt it was lost in the mail. She said she would check her records and go to the post office to see what the status was. That was the last email I received from her. I have emailed her since then that I wanted my money back but she has ignored my emails. I even emailed her and told her I felt she was ignoring me.

I have read the complaints just recently what others have written about Raymonde Leaman. I also have read Raymonde's comments where she basically said she was the victim and that the items were received by the addressee but because she did not insure them she could not prove they were received. She also implied she could not afford to insure the items. (That is my interpretation of Raymonde's comments) It did not escape my attention that she charged me for the shipping and handling so this expense was not out of her pocket. I have found discrepancies in her statements.

My friend who wants to remain anonymous said that Raymonde Leman has used the name of Moonshadow on Ebay and it shows negative feedback.

Complaint filed by: jcreason@hcis.net

Ray has also scammed me!! I reserved a Garcia beanie baby on Nobid on 5/31/99 and sent MO for $95.00 on 6/1/99. On 6/17/99, Ray emailed stating Mo had not arrived and that she had downloaded a virus and lost all emails. I have emailed serveral times and she will not respond to emails. It wasn't until I contacted NoBid that I realized her last name was Leaman and not Chamberlain. Please let others know not to do any business with this person...BAD NEWS!!

Complaint filed by: cbcbjut@cpartner.net

STAY AWAY from this scammer. Add me to the list of who she has scammed. I sent for 2 Garcia's that were posted on the nobidding site from Raymonde. I sent a cashiers check to her via airmail and says she never got it. So I stopped payment on it and was dumb enough to send her a international money order via global priority mail. She finally admits getting that one and that she sent them out (which I have never gotton) but now her email address is no longer in service. I had also asked for references that I checked but deleted them after they came back okay. Which now I realize that they were from her too. I recognize one of the emails as being one of her references. I say enough is enough. If everyone keeps after her--we can stop her. Lets make her pay for being dishonest to the rest of us honest ones.

I sent MO to Raymond Leman, 797 Mt Carmel St, Bathhurst, New Brunswick, E2a 2b9,Canada, the amount was $48.40, this was for a Clubby and Christmas Teddy 97. This was done via no bidding.com. The E-Mail subject used was gemmy1@nbnet.nb.ca. My MO was sent on May 26, I got two E-Mails back after I sent a stinging one myself, asked subject to return my money. Hope something can be done to stop this person. I understand that there are appx 35 people that this person has conned.

I just wanted to give you all this advise.. for all those who were scammed by Raymonde Leaman.. you might want to contact their localm Internet Service Provider in New Brunswick.. They may be able to be sure that this person does not get an internet account with them again at least. I live in New Brunswick Canada and have heard great things about the company. (NBTel Internet). What I would suggest doing it writing to their abuse department (I took the liberty of looking it up at abuse@nbnet.nb.ca

I know of four that are operational. I know the gemmy1 and boyd77 ones are not. Havent checked the others. She is advertising on up4sale and yahoo. She was kicked off nobid and beanie nation. Guess the other two sites dont care even though we provided them with a lot of information.We now have 36 people on the list scammed. New ones are popping up all the time, She did send three small items to people. Of course she lied about when they were sent, you can tell by the postmark that she just sent them. As I said, they were little purchases. I suggest that all start the mail fraud procedings and contacting the postal service there in canada. the elf

Complaint filed by: cheryllynne7@yahoo.com

I was the high bidder of yahoo auction #7807287 which ended on 9-3-99. this was the first yahoo auction I ever participated in. I received an email from Marie Chamberlain telling me where to send my payment, and what amount to pay. It was to go a Raymonde Leaman at 797 Mount Carmel Street Bathurst, NB Cananda E2A2B9. I emailed him and asked if a personal check would be ok. He said yes, but would wait for it to clear before shipping the doll dress. My check cleared the bank on 9/23/99 and I emailed him to inquire if/when the dress was sent. He gave me a vague answer that he thought it went out on 9/20/99. He said mail from CAnada is slow and to keep waiting. I have been in contact with him weekly informing him that I still havn't received the merchandise and gave him a deadline of 11/1/99 for the dress to arrive or I would like my money back. The last email I got from him said that he had to do some checking before he could send my money. I emailed him asking what he had to check on and he has not replied to any of my emails since. I told him I was aware of his other complaints on the caution list and I told him I would be contacting the authorities and posting negative feedback for him If he did not respond and I didnt have my money returned. Again, he did not respond. I put negative feedback on his file yesterday and have started contacting various authorities to alert them of this fraudster. Please let me know if you need specific dates of the emails as I have saved them all.By the way, the first 2 emails I got were from Marie chamberlain and all since then have been from Raymonde Leaman. I do not know if I am dealing with a man or a woman. Also, please let me know what you are going to do with this information and what I could expect from here. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Complaint filed by: CAC3024@aol.com

I have been in contact with an individual whom posted a complaint on Raymonde Leaman....Her name was Ann Lisak and I wrote to her requesting information on how she was defrauded. At such time, I found we had similar transactions with Leamanr. I won an auction in Yahoo on sept.1st...Seller didn't answer my E-mail on win until the 7th of sept. On the 8th of Sept. 1999 I remitted payment for one beanie baby "Chops" for $75.00 US + 5.60 for S/H and Ins. total $80.60. A month had passed and no beanie! Although I rec'd my cancelled check back with Raymondes signature and cashed on Bank of Canada. I wrote requesting status. He wrote back stating Uncle was dying and life was quite hectic at the time...stated would check with postal service and get back to me ASAP. After that never heard from again...Ive written numerous E-mails requesting a response and nothing in return. I then went to ratings in Yahoo to post. He then surfaced in ratings and replied that the mail was slow in Canada and also that he had offered me beanies and never heard back from me. I went back to ratings to express that from information discovered from traderlist.com I was appalled to learn of all his/her aliases and auction locales...In yahoo alone he/she has over 700 items for sale. Just think that is only ONE auction site...This guy is making a BUNDLE! I guess it turns out that Raymonde defrauded Ann out of her CHOPS on a false trade and I ended up paying Raymonde 80.60 to keep chops! :( So he got a chops and 80.60 ...wonder how many other times he sold Chops?? Also I noticed he has many excellent ratings mixed in...That perplexed me..wondered how could so many people be so wrong on Raymonde...Then one thought came to mind that he may possibly be running a multi-faceted scam with other people involved...Where he has those people or himself go in and bid/win auctions...then later to return to give excellent rating...and keep a constant flow of positives mixed in with the negatives.This would keep buyers confused and emotionally unsure...then he turns around to try and make the good people look like liars and making false accusation. This buys him time to keep collecting monies and defrauding innocent people and then when he exhausts himself...moves on to new auction site and name. Just a little food for thought...It interests me.Since my contact with Ann, I have sent an E-mail to individual working for the Mounted Police to seek help in stopping this person. I have evidence of cancelled check for 80.60 with his signature and all E-mail transamissions if that will help. Here is the link to ratings in Yahoo on Leaman for your review. <A HREF="http://edit.auctions.yahoo.com/show/rating?userID=leamanr">Yahoo! Auctions</A> Please advise as I am SICk that soooo many people are surfacing where they are taking money and not producing product. :( Thank you for your time.Sincerely,Connie Carter Masin

This person, Raymonde Leaman (Canada address), ran an auction for a Peppermint Princess Barbie that closed on 10/23/99. I sent him/her a money order in the amount of $42.50 on 10/25/99. I have yet to receive my Barbie. I also requested a refund and have not received any response from this person. Please beware when you come across any of this person's auctions.

I 'won' a bid on yahoo for Peruvian Barbie on an auction that closed September 3, 1999. As so many others have done, I mailed a M.O. for $47.00 to this scoundrel (leamanr@yahoo.com, Raymonde Leaman, same Bathurst address)and have to date (DEC.23, 1999)not received my item. Raymonde even gave the same lame excuses that she has given others blaming it on how slow the mail is. What I don't understand, after researching all the comments and all the information that has been given by SO MANY others, is how this person is still continuing to operate. These comments go back to June1999. It is DEC 99. 6 months of scams = HIGH DOLLAR!!!!! Please help stop this person! At least she was booted off a couple of auction/trading zones, but why don't EBAY and YAHOO do the same? Fair warning to all and a lesson well learned: Research before you bid.

I am sorry to say , but I too, have scammed by this lady on Yahoo auctions. I made the mistake of not checking the feedbacks posted until after I had sent almost 40.00 Canadian to this person. This auction ended November 12 and was for Magic the Dragon Beanie Baby. I have been assured that it is in the mail from Raymonde, but , like many others have received nothing. I cannot believe that Yahoo, and Beanie Nation let someone with the reputation this lady has keep selling....????? For me , this has been a hard lesson to learn. JoAnne Clauson.

Paid her $59.80, for a Parka, on a Yahoo auction. She told me the the Parka had been sent. My check has been paid by my bank, and she acknowledged in feedback, that she had received my money. She is notorious for taking money and not sending merchandise. I have reported her to the "RCMP", Jeff Adams (506-452-3475) who have an extensive file on her, to "Nintendo", criminal Investigations, for selling counterfeit Pokeman cards, to the "Federal Postal Inspectors", mail fraud division, to "Safe Harbour" at ebay, to her server "nbnet.nb.ca" for improper use, to "yahoo" for stealing money from bidders, to the "FBI", for internet fraud. I really don't expect to ever get my money back, so I'm trying to get my money's worth. If you can help, I'd really appreciate it. Thank You Very Much!!! Pat Reichert

Well folks, she must be getting tired of Beanie Babies, good news for us, BAD NEWS for "Pokemon" collectors. She is now selling counterfit Pokeman cards on "YAHOO".If you have been scammed in any way, paid for Merchandise and didn't get it, didn't get what you paid for, or didn't get paid for what you sent her.... CONTACT Corp. Phil Roy of the Canadian Police at 1-506-548-0420, and refer to file#5349 (although you really don't have to, they know who she is).

I also got ripped off by this CROOK. I won and auction in Nov. 1999 for a polly pocket village and sent $20.99 and of course I got the same lame excuses for not getting my item..."I got behind because of Christmas". "I sent it out". Then I asked for a refund and "Raymonde" says, "I'll check my budget" and after that "Raymonde" says "I sent it a while ago" WHATEVER!!!!!!! Now I'm just waiting for some type of justice here..

I'm contacting you so you can update your file on RAYMONDE LEAMAN from Canada. She's back at work stealing on yahoo under the I.D. justforyou88776

http://ratings.auctions.yahoo.com/show/rating?userID=justforyou88776&

I won an auction from Raymonde on April 28th, mailed payment April 29th. Raymonde confirmed receipt of my payment in my feedback and also contacted me to say the jacket would be mailed on or before May 12th. I have yet to receive the shipment and have since found her past I.D.'s and scam information. I highly doubt she mailed or even intends to mail my win as I have listed all the information I have found on her in her feedback. The current email for Raymonde on Yahoo is justforyou2000@email.com

She is also selling on Ebay under the id rc*boy http://cgi2.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=rc*boy

Raymonde has sent 2 bad checks for payment on auctions wins on the Ebay site and caused sellers fees for her bad checks, never making good on them. Please update your file on Raymonde Leaman. Thanks  Heather

Just to let you know, I received a refund from Raymonde Leaman today in the amount of $8 US dollars. It just about covered the cost of the money order, money order fee and postage to send the initial payment to her.I have not even tried to figure out what the heck she was thinking as I have had no contact with her since I inquired about the jacket at the end of May. I was lead to believe that she had mailed it by 5/12 as she promised, however, it is clear that was not the case. I emailed her on 5/23 asking when to expect it. Her reply on 5/24 was "Good morning at time it can take 2 to 3 weeks., that is on a bad week., Please let me know when the package arrives., thanks RAy"

Would you not assume that she had mailed it? I did, nonetheless, I have my refund. The postmark reads Bathurst 01V12000=6 NB.  Best wishes on a refund to the rest of Raymonde's buyers! ~Heather

saw your name on one of the sites detailing the nefarious doings of above person, saying to contact you regarding complaints/theft perpetrated by same - so here goes -first, you can read my complaints on yahoo feedback for 'justforyou88776' - i also have already today filed complaints with IFCC and FTC and will try to contact RCMP and Bathurst constabulary tomorrow (lost my PC phone ID and cannot get til then)-now for 'details' - back in April this year (4/19-4/28) i won a multitude of auctions by this person, totalling $134.74, for which i sent 2 personal checks ($107.54 & $27.20); both checks posted back to my acct 5/9 & 5/16 and which i now have in my possession - and of course i never rcv'd my items, nor has he/she bothered to respond to any e-mails since intital contacts stating totals due and address to send to - i e-mailed again this week (i believe on the 12th) requesting status of order and again, no response. when i tried to e-mail again today (justforyou2000@email.com) it was rtn'd as 'undeliverable... IP 204.127.131.50 blacklisted' - i then proceeded to forward my letter again, this time using every e-mail address/alias listed on the caNadian bad traders list, all came back to me with exception of 'rrjjns@nbnet.nb.ca' (guess only 'old' one still usable!) - god knows how many other aliases there are - tho i do not expect response to this letter either. i no longer want the items 'won' (teenie beanies, etc) but i would like to get money back as i am on disability and trying to open e-biz and, frankly, would not trust anything from this person to be authentic - but i AM more than willing to press charges, esp if i can get in touch w/more 'victims' to file together so we can reach enough $$ stolen for felony charge rather than misdemeanor -please feel free to contact me if you need any more info -thanx -shelly

N.B. woman admits to Beanie Baby fraud

BATHURST, N.B. (CP) - A grim-faced New Brunswick woman pleaded guilty in provincial court Tuesday to defrauding would-be Internet buyers of Beanie Babies, the much-coveted plush toys.

In 1999, police started getting angry complaints that Raymonde Leaman, of Bathurst, was selling Beanie Babies for upwards of $500 US per toy through an Internet auction site - but not delivering the goods.

Here's her new email...now she's breeding dogs, watch out, don't buy any pure breeds from Canada.  I still want my money back, how about you? I think we should all email her, and demand our money back.
