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 here soon. Regis |

I had a fellow mail me a oboe from maine, only about 600 miles away, but across the border. Canada Customs are nowhere near as paranoid as US border nutzis. Took three weeks. Don't give up yet. |

JTMcC:
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. Jimbo "JTMcC" wrote in message ...

Regis 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.

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 politically-correct world we live in. Certain people can't do anything wrong. James.

Dave Munroe ripped me off!! - follow up
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 pocket. Regis James Watt wrote in message . ..

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 pocket. Regis A few examples to discourage others might just be a good idea. The best of luck to you, Regis. Be certain to keep us informed. Harold |

Dave Munroe ripped me off!! - follow up
Have your local police contact the R.C.M.P. Cyber Crimes Unit, or contact
the detachment nearest to the suspect. Steve R. "Regis" wrote in message om... 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 pocket. Regis James Watt wrote in message . ..

I'm guessing north of Toronto, but even I don't know - I've lived in Ontario all my life, except for about a year in the godforsaken province on Quebe. I have an overwhelming urge to receive a geography lesson today. So do I. Maybe I'll actually look at a map. James. |

Dave Munroe ripped me off!!
James,
Just a suggestion, that I heard worked brilliantly the other way that you might consider: A good friend of mine in Toronto produces commercial videos and he got stiffed by a large company in Florida. He called and called etc. but nothing, they would pay. Eventually, he got the idea to contact Canada Customs and report the problem to the border customs officials, who entered the complaint in their database. The next time the company shipped goods to Canada (that shipment had nothing to do with my friend) they were held up at the border directly as a result of my friend's complaint. When the company got desperate enough to clear the shipment they were advised "why" their goods were being held. Miraculously, they discovered their payment oversight and my friend received his overdue payment in full by Fedex... He then contacted Canada customs and eventually the shipment was released. If you report same to US customs/immigration, this guy may get mega hassled the next time he tries to enter the U.S. Maybe just the threat of this action might persuade him to get his act together. I would suggest you send him a letter by registered mail warning him of the action you are going to take if you don't receive what you've paid for within say 14 days. But if you have to follow through with you action, make very sure you have good documentation for your payment and all your attempts to contact him. Good luck from a Canadian who does keep his promises. Cheers, Peter JTMcC wrote: "James Watt" wrote in message ... If I lived near there I'd go kick his butt for you.

Hmm.. any ideas on what to do about being stiffed by a big US publishing company? It's only $100 US.. but.. they sent me a check that had payment stopped (they originally sent my payment to some dude in India, and vice-versa, then asked that I return it, which I did, then sent me the bad check!). They don't seem to care. You'd think a company like Penton could do better. They certainly had no problem taking *my* checks competently when I was paying them $thousands for advertising. I've called a bunch of times, and sent the bad check back (probably a mistake), nothing. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."
