There were 5 purchases total that day. She came off as being a new lampworker, one of the things she bought was a beginners kit. So I guess she needed all those tutorials to go along with her new torch,

My heart goes out to all who have been stolen from. Morons like that shouldn't be allowed in LE or in the glass world.

Oh, sorry Debbie. Bah.

I just sent Brent Curran a message on facebook:

Maybe you want to go here and clear some stuff up.

http://www.lampworketc.com/forums/sh...87#post2863387

There are some folks named Cheryl Curran and Ron Smith who are ripping off a lot of people in a tight-knit community. Or their identities have been stolen. Either way, as the Police Chief and with both listed as friends of yours here I hope you'd help some small business owners who really are taking some beatings financially with whatever this scam is. Help us get to the bottom of it?!

On another note, check out Ron Smith's pages listed. If the monetary issues were resolved it would be HUMOROUS.

Did that, but the police officer here told me I needed to file a report down there. Would that be ironic if I spoke with the man himself?

Sarcoxie Police Department

You need to call back your own pd and explain to them that they will not take a report in the other town. You might print out the article someone posted and the face book connections when you do and email them.

I think this thread needs to be moved somewhere where it will get seen by more people.

Oh NO, Jamey!!!! This is horrible!! I feel awful for all of you that got hit by this POS. Paypal stinks!!!

I hope most of you realize that this person doesn't really need tutorials, or glass, or anything to do with lampwork. They are stealing your money. Somehow they got on our little planet Glass World and found a way to steal from this community through Paypal chargeback scamming.

We had better hope it doesn't become a popular trend, because good luck with PP doing anything more than they already do to protect us sellers.

Jamey, there is a link to this thread in the Legal Room -- people will be directed to this thread. I'm sorry you're being put through this.

Can you contact your local states attorneys office or the states attorneys office in the town the person is from?
What about your local news station? I know that in Chicago here people call Dave Savini (sp) who is on one of the big networks.....he digs into all of this stuff. Maybe a local reporter in your area can assist you.

Hey. I just posted to the thread in the potty. Not sure if I should repost it here cuz I don't want to give them any "excuses" just in case (you'll see what I mean when you read it). If someone wants to repost it here or in the legal room thread, please
feel free (& do me a favor) only because I may not be around for the night. I do hope to check back though.

Also, there's a request in there from me to help any one here with paypal or eBay questions whenever they feel the need. So please take a peek. It's on page 7.

I don't know what to say, I am new to the sales game and didn't realize this type of thing could even happen.

Sorry to hear so many of you have been hit.

((((((hugs to my friend Jamey Lynn and the rest of you)))))))))))

What a freakin scumbag, whomever it is.

I think you guys should all write letters to the editor and try mail them so that they reach the newspaper all within the same day or two. If it isn't picked up for comment, reprint and repeat ... as many times as necessary.

Jamey, my heart goes out to you (and the others).
I think there is a way to set up your Paypal NOT to allow any e-checks of any kind. Many power sellers on ebay seems to have very limited payment sources when it come to Paypal.

REALLY SUCKS!

This is just horrible to think people have no conscience...otherwise they wouldn't do this sort of thing.

I was trying to research legal information for you guys. I know that when the postal service is involved and the amount of fraud is over $500. This becomes a federal offense. I was unable to locate info on whether it would still be federal if all of you collectively added up to $500 instead of one incident.

I would definitely contact a lawyer...a 15 minute consultation would tell you what you need to know and get you started in the right direction. CROSS YOUR "T'S" AND DOT YOUR "I'S" and make sure you are doing everything right just in case you are able to take this sorry sack of *&%^ to court! Legalities...

Take care and good luck to you all.

well, I just got an order for another tutorial, and I'm not going to stop doing what I'm doing and punish everyone else for this one cluster of people's sins, but I hate that it makes me wary now of everyone's purchases.
I am traumatized that people do this sort of thing, and deeply disturbed that paypal is so quick to take back what they shouldn't have given, and then not lift a finger to do anything to the people who entered into a contract to pay but didn't actually pay.

Here is a list of Police Depts for Jasper county Mo.
Sarcoxie Police chief is a Ron Richards not smith
http://mova.missouri.org/counties/jasper.htm
since these sales have crossed county and state lines possibly international I would recommend contacting the U.S Marshals Dept.
http://www.usmarshals.gov/district/index.html
This Captain Ron Lives in Sunrise beach M.O. 145 miles from Sarcoxie
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sunris...?v=wall&ref=mf
and I think he own this restaurant
http://www.captainronsatthelake.com/

Hope this is some help
