be advised that thru various email accounts and thru the private messeging system on here, george kritko (eyelashx21108) attempted to scam me by hitting some buys i had on here. he copied pics from ended auctions on ebay from dave and adams and amunsoncubby and offered as his own. i didnt notice the cert # matching until after paypal pmt was sent. he uses the following email addresses:
skaboo2@yahoo.com
kritko@hotmail.com
eyelashx21108@gmail.com
toyashi@gmail.com
anaheimangels02wschamps@gmail.com
dsallen830@yahoo.com
the name ian palmer popped up in this mess also but i havent placed him yet. i am guess a co-conspirator. anyway, i am going to have some fun with this jerkoff. i have absolutely nothing better to do than to try to nail this scammer. although he has refunded me, i simply will not stop until satisfied. i just wanted to warn everyone on here to be extra careful with who you deal with.

Hmmm... all of his past posts were edited today.
Check this out>>>>>>>>>>>>
Looks like he hit the coin forum.
Wonder if he will respond to these claims.
You have got to be STUPID to come on this site and try to scam someone.
this same guy pm me said he had one for sale I told him to send me the cert# before I sent payment,
The guy sends me the cert# I verified it here and it comes up as a 1952 Topps Dick Groat card.I went to Ebay
to check to see if their was any Dick Groats on auction and sure enough there was one with this cert#,
I then write the guy back telling him he sent me a wrong cert # he then replied back with a # for a psa 6 Thompson
Turns out this cert # was to a card Levi 707 sportscards owns!!! I wrote him saying I was interested in the Groat card
also and would he be interested in selling that one also......He writes back stating make me an offer!!! I told him I know
you don't have the Groat card because it is in fact on Ebay as we speak.Finally he sends one more email stating He was speechless
and he's not gonna deny what he did he stated he was broke and no one would help him out.

I don't know this guy.
So I did a search. He's only posted a few times - on sports talk and B/S/T.
Not much of a record.

I'll be interested to see what happens. Glad you didn't lose any money to him.

i think the addage "is the juice worth the squeeze?" really comes into play alot in life.
I will be very surprised, if there are any criminal-charges
maintained against him.
He was bugging me so bad I had to tell him to get lost...what a total POS
Here is a copy of one of the emails he sent me:
BTW His email address he used when he contacted me was: dsallen830@yahoo.com. When I received the email I wrote him back and asked him what his CU name was and he told me it was eyelashx21108

"I understand that, I cant believe what I got myself into, I am not this kind of person I have no record and I never thought of what this could do to me, I will refund all of your payments and send you extra for your troubles. Im so sorry and, I dont know I think its impossible for you to forgive me and you seem furious and trying to have any sympathy for me is probably the last thing you want to do, Im so sorry I promise you will have your money back plus extra for the trouble, My lord Im so sorry .."
HERE WAS MY RESPONSE...
george,
do not send me extra money! i dont want your money. i see you acknowledge attempting to scam me on 3 occasions as well as committing wire fraud. i want you to come clean and give me the information i asked for from you, i.e. your phone number, address and legal name. if you come clean i may let it drop. plus, i want you to acknowledge in the (beware of george kritko thread) that you were trying to scam all these people. additionally i want you to publically apologize to EVERYONE in that thread. stand up and be a man. on the other hand, if you make me find out your name and info the hard way, i will not stop persuing it. i am very serious about that. i believe i already have your address and i know ian lives close to you. he is involved in this as well. finally, there are things in life called character and moral fiber which people cannot buy. they are some of the most important traits a person can possess. apparently they passed right on by you. i have an email already printed out from another member where you admitted trying to scam him as well. this was not a one time slip for you. i think you would keep trying to steal from people until you got caught. you are only remorseful now because you are caught. i wasted pretty much a full day and night on your sorry ass.

Sometimes people need to be forgiven.
And sometimes they need to go to jail.

You aren't sincerely sorry when you make excuses in an apology. There are people out there in much more dire straights yet do not resort to scamming.
He's a flaming POS and deserves whatever he gets.
if not, the police aren't going to waste their time with it....but by posting it here you have done a great service to the members of the board.
i am sure he ended up with some $. i had an email from someone who dealt with him on the beckett boards who he scammed. he didnt get refunded.
the police in my town are fair but they are by the book. if you commit a crime, they will persue it. the investigator is very smart and i have total faith that he will come up with something to charge him with. we are a small town here but we stick together and do what is right.

COHOCORP:
Hi.. Wow do we have a situation here. Im just a bit pissed off, this has happened to me twice in the past.. people using me as their damn middle man. Okay.. I was contacted from someone - after all of this im guessing it was either a member with a bad rep or not a member at all. He requested that I would message a few people because he 'couldn't use his own name'.. I was a bit skeptical but I didn't really mind until he mentioned the trading matter. I told him I don't do that and if he wanted to make trades that he could use his own name and contact them himself because I always find myself to get wrapped up in some bs.. and what do ya know. Alright so this John guy emails me back and mentions that he is a repeat customer and has made several transactions in the past, and convinced me to favor him because he told me it would boost my rep on the trading forum. This someone grabbed my attention because hey Im new, only made about 3 or 4 completed trades on the site and this would settle all the trust issues knowing that Im a good person to deal with.. In the end it all boiled down to my follower-self telling him I would. He wrote me back telling me what he wanted me to write and I was thinking i really do not want to get caught up in this, so I got your email and just gave that to him and said to contact you through email - and if you can recall, I sent you a PM yesterday around afternoon with a brief message saying check your email, I figured that you would catch onto the rest if you found an unread message in your inbox. I figured he hadn't emailed you back after you messaged me back stating just that.. In the meantime I received another email from this John character and he said he preferred not doing it through email because on the site atleast people would see all of your posts and past trades and look at you with more legitimacy than some random person through email so Im like fine whatever and he sent me what he wanted to be sent, and from there I forwarded everything to you.
COHOCORP - At this point im just frustrated and somewhat confused, but at the same time I have the picture in my head of whats going on. Im mad.. just pissed off about this its happened to me a couple times in the past, people using me as their middle man.. someone doing this to me is the ultimate "F-U", people have no respect and im tired of it. Im 15 years old and a sophomore in high school.. I don't need this crap in my life, I signed up on this board late last year and I made a few trades just selling off my collection, I had some cards like GUs as well as coins.. I dont have time for the hobby anymore. By the way, I am not directing any of this towards you, just the f-er who did this. I honestly don't know what to do because now I look like the bad guy and.. IDK! I received a threatening message from you on the collectors forum and the first instant I read it I knew what was up and I don't handle these situations well.. Im 15 years old.. and being accused of scam for over 100 dollars, that I honestly am not easily capable of sending back becuase one.. I only see that kind of money when my birthday comes around and 2.. I cant send back money I never received. COHOCORP i appologize for this, can you please email me back because Im just scared and now this looks horrible on my part, being that it was done through my name on the boards makes it all worse. Reply through email because Im having trouble logging on the site now... get back to me please. Thanks a bunch im sorry for this mess..
Sincerely,
Ricky
Whether or not your police are fair and by the book is irrelevant. They are not going to pursue anything against someone in another state or jurisdiction if it is "small potatoes". Also, the question of Venue would come into play too....you might have to make a complaint out with HIS police because that is where you sent the money.
What I'd suggest is that you contact his local law enforcement agency and file a complaint with them. Suggest the same to anyone else that has actually been "scammed". I honestly don't see how your police can do a thing for you other than solely out of courtesy unless you both reside in the same city.
What I'm saying is that if I'm at work in my town here in Ohio and someone comes on station stating they were ripped off by an ebay seller in California for several hundred dollars....there's not a thing I can do other than to point them to an agency in California. Now if someone from California calls me and says someone in my city screwed them on ebay and emails/faxes documentation.....I will go and knock on some doors and try and help any way that I can, time willing.
How did you pay? Check? Paypal? Credit Card? There are various ways to to strike back against such a person.
Also, please do not take my posts the wrong way...I'm not trying to stick up for the guy but I think that sometimes people are a little misinformed on what the police can actually do in situations.
If he was being honest, he would give you this other person's name.
Make him learn a lesson
Playing hookie today. LOL
i paid via paypal
George Kritko or whomever you are.....you have the option at this point of making things very easy and refunding Coho's money.
You should thank God that you didn't screw me over but you should also realize that I am going to try and help Coho out here at the same time.....
Can't remember the big guy's name... send him to his house. LOL

Yup.
The police in the victim's town can take a report - if they will -
and forward the info to the Atlanta/Peachtree City police. That
may/may not generate a police-visit to the perp's house.
If the bad guy is a juvie, the police OFTEN do not want to waste
their time on non-violent crimes. There is a 50/50 chance that
the offender is an adult.
Apparently, CU has cut-off his entry to the forums. If not, they
need to do so right away. CU might/might not be willing to
give the guy's IP-info to the police in the towns of the victims.
A personal visit by a victim to the PD in the town of the perp
is always the most efficient way to get action. A lawyer can
be hired to make such a visit on behalf of said victim.
If the person who contacted COHO was acting in good faith,
he would have provided FULL contact info in his nonsense
email.
A report to PayPal is appropriate, but it will not generate a
refund because ANY money sent has already been withdrawn.
PP will shut the offending account down, to prevent its further
use in criminal activity.
It appears that the perp may have still been playing the scam
on February 12. It is possible that he ceased eating new victims
on February 11.
It may be time for CU to take a look at BST and decide if BST
is really a good idea, when no safeguards at all are in place.
i think a member should have to be 18 years old to join. the bst forums can be a valuable tool for the site. naturally it is buyers beware. i think cu already shut him out. they acted responsible in my opinion. there is no way they can hold hands for transactions on the bst. without a doubt, it is my own fault for falling for the scam. i didnt cross check the cert numbers before paying. i always pay immediately without hesitation when i gets scans and confirm the deal. it has always been important to me to be a lightning pay. i should have researched. either way, i am all for the bst boards and do not hold cu responsible at all. if we keep taking things away from this site, it will whither away to nothing. it is a good tool still.

Yes, because you can't enter into a contract with a minor, which means any sale to or from a minor is legally invalid--should he decide to "change his mind".
