And if you are intending any kind of extra-legal remedies, publishing it in writing here would not be an excellent idea... In fact, the forum owners could justifiably get their shirts in a knot about such threats on their lists. Promises of bodily harm trump allegations of mail fraud in attracting official attention...

I don't think anyone here wants to inflict bodily harm on this guy.....people just want there money back....plain and simple. I mean it would be a bonus to have this guy booked buy a cop..........but at the end of the day...I would say most people just want to retrieve there funds and take this as a lesson learned.....(i.e.: deal locally next time!).

Wow, that's nuts. Sue the police department.

Heck if you guys know the real identity of this Andrew Carter fella, sue him in small claims court. It costs like dirt cheap to sue somebody under small claims... like $25 bucks or so. I'm not sure what happens with inter provincial suits.

As expected, Paypal didn't do anything for me. They could not recover the funds, etc. I don't really understand their statement when they said

"We hope you understand our policy and that it assures you that you are safe using PayPal. "

I guess I am missing the point about their policy... how did it "assure" that I was safe using Paypal?

This John Howard or andrew carter can easily on this site become any name to steal anyone's money? It affects all of us here. So I think everyone has a duty to really try to stop these guys at any cost. I know of three people on this site that was taken by johnathan howard including me.Using paypal didn't do a thing in protecting me! Paypal gives you the run around, until you're tired and then go away.
http://paypalsucks.com/ is a great site to really get to know these guys!
I hope the webmaster will do something about this situation from these to guy's . Contact the rcmp and do something to protect your site webmaster.

I think I may have been nearly scammed by this same guy. It was about 6 months after the iMac G5's came out and he said he had a 20" for sale for $1200. I thought this sounded like a good deal, and since I have family in Montreal I thought they could go look at it. I got the same response saying he worked at nights so he wouldn't be home. When I asked for his phone number so I could call and ask him questions about it and know his phone number was legit his reply was along the lines of....

"I was in a motorcycle accident two years ago and lost the use of my vocal chords. Now I cannot speak on the phone so you cannot contact me by phone"
