He cashed my $350 ck over two months ago, will not send the item. This guy
keeps making excuses that he cant find the time to ship it out. I told him
to send back my money, now he will not return emails. This is FRAUD !!!!

Did you send your check by US Mail? If so, contact your postal inspector
and PUT THE JERK IN A FEDERAL PENITENTIARY.

I always make part of ANY transaction via the mail system. I even got
satisfaction out of Chris Pringle, VE8AA, after I had the RCMP visit him and
inform him of the seriousness of mail fraud in Canada.

Don't complain anymore, just "put 'em away".

Good luck.

I told Fred about these postings. He said the guy's check bounced and
wouldn't make good on it, that's why he never shipped the item.

When a check bounces, the bank returns it to the person who cashed it,
stamped "insufficient funds," "closed account," or some other reason. Scan
the check complete with the returned stamp from the bank and post it on a
web site for all to see. That would stop this yes-you-did-no-I-didn't.

Oregon man who swindled Louisville resident gets 15 years

A Boulder District Court judge on Thursday sentenced an Oregon man who befriended an elderly Louisville resident before swindling tens-of-thousands of dollars from him to 15 years in prison.
A Boulder County jury in April convicted Frederic Leroy Allman of 10 felonies including identity theft, theft from an at risk elder and aggravated motor vehicle theft.
Before sentencing, Judge Andrew Macdonald told Allman, 62, that his name conjured up the Allman Brothers Band's "Midnight Rider," a song about a man on the run and "desperate to escape capture."
Macdonald said a presentence investigation had revealed little about Allman other than he had left Oregon and reappeared in Colorado. He added that Allman posed a high risk to the community.
"You're basically a ghost," Macdonald said. "No one really knows who you are."
Allman, who prosecutors say used aliases and made the FBI's most wanted list for white collar criminals, moved in with Louisville resident Larry Stennes in 2013 then stole his identity and car when Stennes took a trip to Australia.

Prosecutors say Allman went by the alias "John Taylor" and used some of the stolen money to purchase an engagement ring for a woman he met online and moved in with following his stay with Stennes.
Macdonald ordered Allman to pay $59,000 in restitution as part of his sentence. He will also serve 10 years of probation upon his release from the Colorado Department of Corrections.
According to United States District Court records, Allman has also been charged with concealment of bankruptcy in an unrelated case in Oregon for hiding his interest in a Dundee, Ore. residence and a sport utility vehicle.
Colorado court records indicate Allman is also considered an FBI fugitive out of Oregon.
Allman's attorney Scott McComas said after the hearing that he had taken the case to trial because the "intransigence" of prosecutors who declined to offer any kind of plea deal.
McComas said prosecutors were able to characterize the scheme as constituting multiple crimes, but he had argued that a person can only steal another person's identity once.
When asked for his reaction to the sentence, McComas said people who commit violent crimes often get less time in prison.
In a victim impact statement, Stennes said the scam not only ruined his trip to Australia but caused him numerous hassles and headaches as he sorted through the financial damage that came with being victimized.
After the hearing, Stennes said he feels that Allman is a "menace to society."
"He's out to get anyone he can, not just seniors," Stennes said. "He got engaged to a young lady under false pretenses and introduced himself under aliases. Anyone he meets is a potential paycheck to him."
