There was an ad posted in the Classifieds yesterday for an Imac being sold by a Montrealer. I contacted him and the sale was already pending and the ad has since been removed. Usual gmail account, same specs as previous ads posted by scammers. Maybe we can catch him at a Leafs playoff game.

[Edit ehMax. No personal insults. Next warning will be temporary removal from ehMac.ca]

Lighten up.

If there is an ad that interests you, perhaps "Save as" a web archive, and then you have it for future reference.

Unfortunately, I think this guy's still at it. Three weeks now and no iBook in the mail.. and I think this was the same guy mentioned here. :/ Would have been my first laptop and first mac.. desperately needed for work, and now I'm screwed..

His bank account name was 'Raouf', which I googled with the words "bank account" and found this thread. If only I did that three weeks ago.

I found his ad on usedmacs.ca - and lost $650. Any update on anyone getting something done about him via RCMP/Montréal police?

Interesting...seems as though you are looking for someone who likes house music. John Howard is a famous house dj; Andrew Carter is a house dj, entrepreneur; I know, because I know him. Haven't seen him in a while but I can guarentee you this isn't the same guy.

I have also been scammed by Raouf Emad very recently. Has anyone had any luck with the RCMP or RECOL? I have sent in my info to RECOL with info from this site that his name may be Andrew Carter or John Howard.

I've learned my lesson too, but would like him to learn his.

I have some leads from a university address in Québec, but I'm not getting answers so these may be dead ends.

this is terrible so many people are getting ripped off by the SAME dude years after i first got shafted... RCMP RECOL was unhelpful.. nothing from them... i wonder why they cant find this guy.. could it be THAT difficult? or are they understaffed?

Anyhow.. i'm sorry for you all.. try your banks if you paid by visa.. cause you can void your payment by up to 30 days (i think) if you get scammed.. i believe its a VISA buyer's insurance.. all credit cards should have them..CHECK!!..thats how i got my money back

I found this thread too late. Emad Raouf took me for $700. I am a student and now have no computer and no money. I have taken all the measures I can to track this guy down but its beginning to feel hopeless. This is insane that this guy has not been busted yet. I feel like an idiot also for ever falling into his trap. Can anyone out there help me?

I had the same thing happen to me from this forum, different name but a guy just outside of montreal. I spoke with him on hhis cell phone, and still have that number if that would help. It was for an ibook never received.
