We received the following item. --RL From: "Rob Wubbenhorst" Subject: Bad trader on Bartertown alert for 1/48 scale T-34 tanks
Just a public service announcement.
There's a guy on Bartertown named Jonathan Henry who is a fraudulent
trader.He goes by email addresses jchenry47@hotmail.com or
jchenry47@yahoo.com
I responded to an ad in Sept. 2002 about buying a T-34 tank in 1/48
scale. He quit responding to my emails and didn't accept a certified
letter I sent to him after my check was cashed and I never received
the tank.
I did the usual things, USPS Inspectors Mail Fraud report and FBI
Internet Fraud report, but the webmaster at Bartertown never
responded to my emails either. It was only $19.00, so I blew it off
and wrote Jonathan a bad trader report.
What really irritates me is that Jonathan is back. On Jan. 13, 2003
he posted another ad on Bartertown for the same T-34 that he never
sent me!
He's changed his email to Yahoo, but is probably going to rip off
some other people. I sent the webmaster at Bartertown another email,
but don't expect to hear from them.
Please don't order any T-34s from Bartertown from this Jonathan dude
and let Bartertown know that you are not happy that known fraudulent
ads are being placed and not removed after being notified.
I have lots of documentation on this matter, contact me if you have
any questions.
Regards,
Rob Wubbenhorst, LSHM Houston
