I thought it strange that he took my first offer on a headset and GPS.
I e-mailed him back and made another more ridiculous offer on another
item. He took it the first time again. By now I was getting
suspicious, so I told him I had a friend interested in one of his
items but I wanted a phone number to ask questions and get more
information. When he balked, made an excuse about being on the road
and wanted my friends number instead, I called it quits!

I noticed the same thing I also asked for a ebay ID or storefront so
i could
check his feedback and kept getting some excuse about ebays fee's.
and not
wanting to take paypal for a Garmin 196 GPS and a Icom A23 NAV/COM.
of
course both of those for $750 is suspicious to begin with. and
another funny
thing is the one guy that claims he ordered and it was deliverd has
the same
name and the one on the address to send the M.O. to.

I contacted this guy and tried to work out a deal. After agreeing
to part
with two headsets for more than 50% off, he refused to use PayPal
or any
online escrow service (on my dime), insisting on a check (which
would need
to clear before shipping) or money order. His email display name
is "Joe
Turner" for some although he signs his messages as "George".
Needless to
say, he's not getting my money.

GeorgeF,
Based on your 'feedback' regarding purchase from the other
George.
I wrote an inquiry to George (rcpilotgeorge) and got a reply
asking me
to
send money order/check to George Fetter in Daytonna Beach, FL.
I went
to
your website (MilAircomms), clicked on several links and found
the
contact address
http://www.licensed4fun.com/contactus.htm
So what you're saying is that and
rcpilotgeorge
are the same person? And therefore that this person is
perpetrating a
fraud by pretending to be a satified customer when he's really
the
seller?
Despicable.

With so many "textbook cases" of single points of failure, you'd
think
that we'd stop building systems to demonstrate the concept.
