Dave Munroe ripped me off!!
 
A guy named Dave Munroe of Hiawatha, Canada ripped me off. He
advertised a 7 x 10 lathe on this news group for $175. I sent the
money almost 4 weeks ago and the lathe has never showed up. He claims
to be from Hiawatha, Ontario, Canada. He won't return my emails or my
calls. BEWARE OF THIS GUY! Scum like him screw home machinist out of
their hard earned money. If anyone know this guy please drop me an
e-mail. I have his phone numbers and I am tempted to publish them

I had a fellow mail me a oboe from maine, only about 600 miles away, but

Hey Regis,

Just hope there's a snafu somewhere and Dave's not the problem. Though, if
so, he certainly should be at least talking to you.

I can sure sympathize with you if you've been screwed. Just a couple weeks
ago Susan bid on and won a piece of art glass (she collects) that was
misrepresented. Live auction on ebay, seller's name is Myers Auction
Gallery, Michael Myers, and his wife (according to him, anyway) Mary Dowd.
Seller is in Florida, we're in Washington State. Seller refuses to refund
money, and its over $1,000, so we're likely headed for court. It's one
thing to have something lost and everyone is trying to rectify the problem,
but quite another to find that you have been screwed outright.

Good luck, keep us all posted.

Harold

I can't find Hiawatha Ontario on any map I have but there is a first nations
community know as Hiawatha in Ontario. It might not hurt to see if they
have a web site then maybe you can trace the guy down through the band
counsel.

I just tried to do a search on www.superpages.ca but the site is down for
some reason. Keep trying that search engine and when it's up and running
again do a reverse search using the phone number he gave you.

Hope it just turns out to be a shipping screw up.

Good luck

Munro is a respectable clock maker in NJ and is clearly not the guy who

If I lived near there I'd go kick his butt for you. I'm from Canada,
shop online a fair bit and can't stand this crap. Did you pay via
credit card (Paypal) or such thing? If so, they will track him down

Good luck.

Terrorists are now smuggling lathes? Either you're clueless or you
think US customs are. I'd be putting my money on customs - they have
to follow policy.....

Enough already. Not to to start another flame war, but the US killed
more since the WTC than were killed in the WTC, and let's not even
discuss what secret things the US govt has done to increase
instability in certain parts of the world. This whole media-centric
fearmongering causing mass paranoia and over-the-top "security" that
does very little to secure people has gone on too long and is getting
a little tired.

As for terriorists coming from Canada, that has not been shown to be
accurate, it's only a media trying to redirect focus from the real
problem - US foreign policy. Here in Canuck-ville we have a similar
dictatorship to the US. Every 5 years or so we elect a different
dictator. Given the Canadian dollar, however, even our most wealthy
can't buy a Prime Minister-ship.

If your contacted by this guy or see a post from
" or " don't
deal with him!!! He had a low profile for a while, but he's back at
the scamming.

Most Current info is:

Dave Munroe (doubt if that's real)
220 Paudash Road (doesn't show up on Yahoo Maps)
Hiawatha, Ontario, Canada K0L-2G0 (Again, the city of Hiawatha
doesn't show on Yahoo, and this is a new city compared to his old city
of Keene)
Cell phone (yeah right) is 705-313-1518

Mail is beginning to bounce to the lower case
. My most recent email from him was dated
in mid-May in which he claimed that the mail is slow.

He currently has several ID's still active on Ebay of "leanna2000",
"-pokey-", "Quake99" and "Invest7". All have 0 feedback's but ebay
only goes back 30 days for history now. So information is skimpy.


Repost of old info, but it might help to put it into this thread.


A serious warning about Dave Munroe, Internet scammer, living in
Keene, Ontario, Canada. In addition to Internet and eBay theft, he's
now added mail fraud to the list. He sends letters of payment,
supposedly with cash payments, but there's nothing in the envelope
except the actual letter. A police officer he scammed opened one of
these in front of Postal Employees, mail fraud charges are being
filed.

If you have ordered anything and sent payment to one of these two
addresses, you've been scammed:

Dave Munroe Alternate Address:
R.R. #2 Keene 220 Paudash Road
Ontario, Canada Keene, Ontario Canada
K0L2G0 K0L2G0
(705) 295-4688 (705) 295-4612

He has also used a Peterborough address and several alias names for
eBay auction site bidding, where he "bids up" his own merchandise,
receives payment, and sends nothing. Two people so far have lost over
$100 each on eBay purchases, several others are possible victims. The
eBay site management has been notified of his aliases and activities,
but he uses falsified user information to avoid capture.

17 verified incidents of Internet and eBay auction theft are known so
far, and more possible... we're waiting for email from several more.

This guy advertises for sale or trade of computer, ham radio,
electronic, and camping gear. He NEVER sends his agreed part of
transaction, money or goods, and after the shipment arrives, he never
answers e-mails and the phone number is never answered (used to be a
BBS line he ran).

In August, he has scammed a half-dozen people for hard drives and
modems. In addition, he's recently been advertising Asus motherboards
and a Cyrix mini-tower system in non-forsale newsgroups, since
warnings have been issued in all for-sale areas.

He has used these aliases for email, auction sites, and Internet
theft:












If you are doing ANY business with someone in the Keene/Peterborough
area of Ontario, BE SURE you have good contact info with your party...
contact both work and home phones and addresses, etc. This guy seems
to have a few available phone numbers, and at least 3 mailing/shipping
addresses.

If you've been involved in a fraudulent sale with Dave Munroe, please
contact
or Rick Park at
. Complaints have been filed with the Canadian
authorities, and various Internet authorities and email providersSee
this message in context.

Hiawatha Highlans Conservation Area is near Sault Ste. Marie (SSM is
near Michigan). Might be close to that. And if it's a first Nations
reserve, good luck collecting on anything. They have special rights
in Canuck-ville. Can't accuse them of doing _anything_ wrong lest you
be judged of being anti-first-nations. Ah, well. It's the

At lot of use have tried to find Hiawatha Ontario but non of us, my self
included, have asked the most important questions, where did you send the
money to? If it was a check or money order was it cashed and where?

If you can find out where the check was cashed it might help to call the OPP
fraud squad and ask them to look into the situation. You could also contact
the OPP Phone Busters at www.phonebusters.com or 1-888-495-8510 I think
there mandate goes beyond phone fraud. It might also help to give them a
copy of the here say info some people on this post have supplied you with.

Terrorists are now smuggling lathes? Either you're clueless or you
think US customs are. I'd be putting my money on customs - they have
to follow policy.....

Enough already. Not to to start another flame war, but the US killed
more since the WTC than were killed in the WTC, and let's not even
discuss what secret things the US govt has done to increase
instability in certain parts of the world. This whole media-centric
fearmongering causing mass paranoia and over-the-top "security" that
does very little to secure people has gone on too long and is getting
a little tired.

As for terriorists coming from Canada, that has not been shown to be
accurate, it's only a media trying to redirect focus from the real
problem - US foreign policy. Here in Canuck-ville we have a similar
dictatorship to the US. Every 5 years or so we elect a different
dictator. Given the Canadian dollar, however, even our most wealthy
can't buy a Prime Minister-ship.

The fact is James, there is a threat to the U.S. and there is no threat to
Canada.
Therefor it is reasonable that getting into the U.S. from a foriegn country
(be you a human or a crate) requires a little more time and trouble. It's
that simple.

I think your assumption that terrorists are no threat to Canada is wrong and
my reasons for thinking that are as follows.

Canada supplies the U.S.A. with far more oil/gas than all other countries
combined including Saudi Arabia. We also have an inter connected
hydroelectric and water grid that makes both our countries extremely
interdependent. Our mutual border includes many major bridges and tunnels
that if they where attacked would cripple both our economies. We are your
largest trading partner by far and that makes your security and ours a
mutual concern. Any terrorist with a brain knows what I have just said is
true and that my friend means we all have to be vigilant, doesn't it?

You also have to take in to consideration that we have over 2000 troops in
Afganistan fighting the war on terrorism and that means the terrorist don't
really like us either. I personally wish we had a bigger military force but
I'm very proud of the extremely well trained professional men and women we
have stationed over there.

While your point is taken, I have a couple of questions:

What single nation is referred to by terroristic radical Islamics as
"The Great Satan"? Answer: The USA

What do those same terrorists call Canada? Answer: "Canada", or
"layover".

Hi all,
The address I sent the check to was Hiawatha, Ontario, Canada. I
have discovered that it is an Indian reservation outside Ontario. I
now have a tel. number to the Tribe's councel leader. I sent a
Western Union Money order so it should be easy to track him down. I
know the bank that he cashed the check at has a picture of him (from
one of the camera's). I was smart enough to keep every single e-mail
that I received and sent to him, so I have very accurate times and
dates. I filed a report he http://www.ifccfbi.gov/. I'm positive I
will catch this POS. This is not the first time he has done something
like this as I have a list of other people he ripped off. I guess he
figured he could keep this up - that is, until he crossed path's with
me. I won't give up until he's in jail and my money is back in my

Canadian flag on the nightly news, or as was already said, pronounce Canada
as "the great satan". I haven't seen them burn the Canadian leadersip in

As am I, good for those guys. But the U.S. is the focus of radical muslim
hatred, not Canada. So I don't think it is beyond the pale that entrance
into the U.S. might take a little longer, be you a human or be you a crate.
And if you think, as one poster does, that U.S. customs equates to 1930's
and 40's nazi's (and I'm pretty sure you don't), then you need to go back
and re read your 20th century history. The Canadians were also there when we
beat down the nazi's, and I'm glad for that too!.

Hey Regis,

You have not stated "where" you sent the money. Hiawatha is not the
best known place in Ontario, but Canada Post would have found the
closest place with a name like that to the postal code you used.
Microsoft Streets & Trips gives three suggestions, all in the
Peterborough to Ottawa area. Do you have the actual postal code (ZIP)
for the as mailed address? For instance, I recently lived in an area
of Windsor called Forest Glade. If you had written to me with that
local colloquial name as the "city", it would not have gotten to me
unless the postal code was given too. One thing to note though, that
if any postal code in Canada has a "0" (numeral zero, not the alphabet
letter 'oh') as the second and last digit, it is a "general delivery"
type code. Mine is N0P 1C0, and means I have to actually go to the
local post office to pick up my mail, as there is no delivery service
here in this town.

Too late, but take care.

Brian Lawson,
Bothwell, Ontario.

chance of

something
about this Munroe character, he's been in the business if stealing from

people

I'm not sure you understand. First off, I'm not Canadian. I also fail to
see the connection between being Canadian and being a crook. Susan and I
were recently ripped off by a seller in Florida. Should I assume from your
response that everyone in Florida, or perhaps the whole of the US, should be

I'm all for prosecution, and severe punishment, but the guilty parties, not
everyone that inhabits a particular region.
