Ripped off by Ebay Seller from Martinsville Indiana
Hugh Hinskens
Box Set 3:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1501313693. I sent
the money order to Donna Warman of Martinsville Indiana over two
months ago and never received the records. She has sold a lot of Zappa
merchandise on Ebay and had 60 positive feedback replies, but she
ripped me off. She won't answer emails and her phone is cut off. If
anybody has any information about her I would greatly appreciate it.
This is also a warning to anybody else considering doing business with
her. Thanks very much for your help. I can be reached at

It looks like she is no longer a registered user, so you may not
be able to leave feedback.
You should make a fraud claim to ebay, I believe they
have some sort of insurance against fraud.
I guess I have been lucky bidding on Ebay. I have close to
200 winning bids, and only two bad experience with people
ripping me off.

little over half my money if I'm approved because they don't reimburse
shipping and there's a $25 deductible. I'm hoping someone in Indiana
reads this and can help a fellow Zappa fan out with some info. I'm
going to pursue her any way I legally can.

If that's it, why not contact the the District Attorney's office and ask
them for assistance.
Here's the info for the Morgan County Courthouse, which should be a decent
place to get info.

Maybe she's dead? That's always a possibility.

country.

This is the only D Warman in Martinsville, IN phone book. It is the
same one as in Stu's post.

It's not nice to post someone's address on the net. Especially
since no one knows for certain whose address it really is.

Let us discuss this for a moment, as I'm the criminal in this case. Is it a
crime to post information that is readily available on another public site?
If the text is already public, what's the harm in placing it in another
public setting?

First, he didn't say it was criminal, merely un-nice.
The address in question was available on the internet, but only if one
went looking for it. One would have to know the person's name and
possibly location. When you posted it, the address is available out in
the open, in a venue never authorized by the individual. Moreover, in
this particular case, it was placed in a context that might suggest it
was socially acceptable to harass the person.
It would have been better simply to send the address to the inquiring
party by private e-mail. Same thing with Jon's lost trader.

Certainly that was not my intent, especially as the folks who were looking
for the info did not seem to have harassment leanings.

Fair enough.

IANAL
A lawsuit based on the re-publishing of already
publicly-available information seems unlikely to succeed.
There is a New Mexico case in which a newspaper, pissed off at a
police officer for failing to cooperate in connection with a hot
news story, published his name and home address in the paper.
The officer sued, but did not prevail.
According to the Restatement of Torts (Second), one's privacy may
be invaded by
(1) an intrusion upon that person's seclusion,
(2) appropriation of his name or likeness,
(3) publicity to his private life, or
(4) publicity placing him in a false light.
