A tremendously bad trader. In any case, I set up this trade through
SwitcHouse, in the days before they insured swaps. In any case, Jon and I
agreed to a fairly large swap. About 7 of my PSX games, as well as a movie
and a music CD for his GameBoy Color and a few PSX/DC games. Since he has
well over 30 refs (all of them, as I later learn, fake) and I have about
2, I'm forced to send first. I don't really trust Jon all that much, given
the size of the trade and the tone of his references, so I both insure and
put delivery confirmation on the items I send out. After a few days, I've
seen that my items have reached their destination (thanks, USPS) and
contact Jon. He acknowledges that he has recieved my games, CD, movie,
etc. Lo and behold, within a day from that time, I recieve a message from
SwitcHouse warning me that Jon is being investigated for fraud. Naturally,
I ask Jon about this and reiterate that I'd like to have my items in a
message from June 9th. I also offer to pay for shipping. Jon says that he
doesn't know why the he's being investigated and states that my games will
be sent soon. I wait a few more days and ask him why he hasn't sent out
his stuff yet. On June 15th, he informs me that he'll be sending out two
packages -- one with the GameBoy, the other with the games. He only
provides a tracking number for the GBC package, though I ask for tracking
numbers for both. I recieve the GBC soon, but e-mail him on June 20th,
asking him why I haven't recieved my games. June 23rd I recieve my last
e-mail message from him, wherein he blames the post office.
By this time, I'm more than a little suspicious, especially since the
complaints keep coming in at Switchouse. It seems like he's conned well
over two dozen people. I contact another person and get Jon's phone
number.
For about a month, I call Jon, and he agrees to send back a few of my
items. I wait. I call. He says he's sorry. I wait. I call. He says he
forgot. I wait. I call. He says he hasn't had time. It's July 26th, well
over a month. I wait a little longer. I call. He says "Who are you?"
I file a Mail Fraud report with the USPS.
If anyone else has been ripped off by Jon and is reading this, please fill
out a mail fraud report, too!

The Man
I lost a PS2 and 10 games to this lame-head.
I'm THIS close to filing a true fraud suit, since my brother is a lawyer,
because that will cost him more money in lawyer fees and I can be sure to
catch him, as he already admitted to doing what I'm accusing him of. Anyone
else out there?

came nor the refund I was promised. I spoke with his mother today -- she
sounded a bit frazzled. I'm sure she has reason if others have been calling
regarding what he's done. Shall we take a pool of names of who has been
ripped off and for what and send a mega-page to USPS for mail fraud to get a
bigger ball rolling? Any suggestions on what else I can do besides file mail
fraud?
