Be aware that a known con artist by the name of Sean Robinson is
believed to once again be operating in Southern California.  The
timeline of this person's criminal activities dates back over 15 years,
and he has spent time in prison on multiple felony charges related to
his scams.

His history includes repeatedly swindling members of communities and
groups with a technological interest.  Those focused on hacking, classic
arcade videogames and pinball machines, and classic computers and
videogame consoles are typical targets for him.

In recent years he has been pulling similar scams in the Pacific
Northwest, via international mail with victims in Australia and Europe,
and was most recently identified as having carried out similar
activities with the Coleco Chameleon retrogaming console project.

Past aliases include Ken Robinson, Kendall Robinson, Lee Robinson, Sean
Lee Schlegel, Sean Lee Woodward, Michael Woodward, and Mr. Lee.
Known-prior usernames on forums, Usenet, IRC, and elsewhere include
seanrox, seanHQ, and almightyarcade.  For a photograph, see
