I can get up immediately and answer your requests.

Maybe Mr. WENW Donald Winslow can explain why his corporate registration has
been cancelled?

Maybe he can also "explain" why the State of Oregon shows him going into
business, and then out of business, at least three times!

Business Address of 3439 NE Sandy Blvd is in fact a MAIL BOXES ETC maildrop.

The city of Portland Oregon has NO business license and has begun an
investigation.

ACTIVE SCAMMER ALERT!
---------------------

SOUND EMPORIUM
--------------
Robert Benson
Suzanne Manka

Are the likely culprits, although they are hiding behind layers of anonymous
email addresses.
Service? Nope. Support? Nope.

No phone number. No verifiable email address. Hiding behind sockpuppets
and anonymous email servers isn't the hallmark of a "quality" vendor.

Claims to offer "the consistently lowest price available on-line"

"Consistently Low"? What a laugher. Others are far lower on Ebay and
elsewhere.

Except "Robert Benson" was ejected from TCInternet. Also ejected from Ebay,
wherethey established another account and loaded it up with phony "praise".
A known scammer tactic used to support the scam.

The St. Paul city treasurer's office, can find no such business
registered in St. Pau! The only two words people know with "sound
emporium" is "certified scamsters"!!!


Then there is what SENNHEISER USA has said:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"This outfit is not an authorized Sennheiser Dealer and as such we
cannot guarantee the authenticity or the legitimacy of this product
offering. I suggest you purchase your HD600 from one of our authorized
dealers in order to secure legitimate, factory fresh product."

Sincerely,

Robert G. Douglas
Manager, Consumer Electronics
Sennheiser Electronic Corp.



BOB MOREIN
----------
GUILTY of protecting scammers and fraudsters, and attacking those that have
made such great strides toward protecting the innocent scammed by these
frauds!

Bob Morein is an unemployed and unemployable 40 year old alleged pederast
living in his daddy's house in Dresher, Pennsylvania, a wealthy suburb or
Philadelphia.

He is conducting his life in a most unseemly manner; despite numerous
entreaties from his father and recently deceased mother, he continues to
live in the same sorry 10' x 12' room in Dresher, PA. The parent's proud
jewish hopes of an intellectual son were dashed when he was denied a degree
at Drexel University, and subsequently demanded daddy fund a lawsuit. . . A
true vision of integrity (hahahahaha).

And the courts found explicitly against Morein, showing him as the lying
twisted individual we have all come to know. In fact, court documents point
to witness credibility being critical to their decision. And keep in mind,
this case was reviewed by appeals courts!

So what does loser Morein do? Puts the whole sorry story up on a website,
...studentsandthelaw.org

These allegations have made him a new target for the lawsuits of those who
have been subject to this slander and libel.

Seems like there are many standing in line for their "pound of unleavened
flesh" from this king of the charlatans and scammers.

AUDIO TWEAKERS
--------------
"Audio Tweakers" continues to advertise as
"Incorporated" even though they clearly are not! A serious violation of
business law in Florida, already reported to the attorney general.

And the Planatation, Florida city clerk has advised that "Audio Tweakers" is
also not registered in their city, as required. They have begun an
investigation of this "garage" business and have also reported this
non-registration to the Florida tax department.

AUDIO.NET
---------------------------
A prolific purveyor of audio items more appropriate for the dumpster from
which they were "rescued". He advertises his "business" as "Audio.net", a
domain name he has stolen from the rightful owners.

Greenville County SC, has NO business license for him. They have begun a
zoning investigation regarding his activities at 10 King George Road. The
SC Tax Commission also has no registration for Mr. Drescher's "business",
and likewise are investigating his evasion of business license fees as well
as relevant sales and other taxes a real business would be required to pay.

He is also under investigaton by the Greenville County sheriff, for failure
to register as a secondhand goods dealer, Section 28-31 of the state code.
This is a common way to unload "hot" gear, and the reason this law was
enacted in South Carolina.

KEN DRESCHER also advertises the "Ebike", a quality product from a company
owned in part by Lee Iacocca.

Unfortunately however, Ken Drescher is NOT a dealer for THIS product,
EITHER!!!! Recently revised website to say he's selling "demos". Can't have
a demo if you're not a dealer!

Chris Washburn, sales manager for EV Global, the manufacturer, says "I have
never heard of him. I©–m not sure where he©–s getting his bikes either."


PERROTTACONSULTING & MUSICTOOLS-USA.COM
---------------------------------------

> http://www.musictools-usa.com
> http://www.perrottaconsulting.com

Investigation has been opened into this apparent fraud.

NOT listed as a dealer for this, or any of the gear advertised.

NO such business listed in Putnam County, NY or Brewster, NY where he claims
to be operating.

We recommend AVOIDING this "merchant" until adequate identification has been
provided.

TEKLINEAUDIO.COM & MR-CABLE.COM
-------------------------------

Recently, ads from "Mr-cable.com" have begun to appear: Mr-cable.com is

Bob Richards
Bob Richards
27881 La Paz Rd Suite G
Laguna Niguel, CA 92677
US
Phone: 000-000-0000

This is a phony for several reasons:

No such person exists at this address. No "mr-cable.com" company is listed
as a fictitious business in Orange County, California (nor LA County, where
"Bob Richards" has his other scam businesses).

http://regrec.co.la.ca.us/fbn/
http://www.oc.ca.gov/recorder/fictbsn.htm

The address is a maildrop at "Postalannex", a private mailbox company.
Failure to include "PMB" in the address is a federal crime and has been
reported to the postal investigators in Orange County.

Then we go on to "Tek Line":


TEK LINE
Robert Richardson
PO Box 598
Harbor City, CA 90710-0598
US
Phone: (310) 835-2967
Fax..: (310) 513-0720
Email:

Address obviously a maildrop. No phone listing for Tekline, nor business
registration in Los Angeles City (or County) as required.

http://regrec.co.la.ca.us/fbn/
http://www.oc.ca.gov/recorder/fictbsn.htm

A hacker has also reported that a search of AOL's database shows
and are registered to the same
account! Likewise, the mr.cable.com and teklineaudio.com websites show the
SAME phone/fax number!

Tek Line is also connected to another scam organization, Robert Hart and
"Audiotweakers.com", previously and continuously reported in the RAM FAQ.

PREVIOUS DOMAINS e-book101.com AND e-books101.com CLOSED DOWN! GUESS WHY?


HOLOMAXX CABLES
---------------

This new "company" hawking "audiophile grade cables" is the latest fraud to
be investigated.

Website belongs to Ilarion Bilynsky, with a residential address of 8232
Narvon Street in Philadelphia. No business phone, and no business listing
anywhere.

Philadelphia and the State of Pennsylvania require businesses to be licensed
and fictitious names registered. Mr. Bilynsky has done neither.

http://www.phila.gov/li/business.html

In fact, Mr. Bilynsky has no commercial banking relations, and instead
demands payment via Paypal, the scammers best friend. Since he cannot
establish a commercial account with a reputable shipper like Fedex or UPS,
he is graciously MAILING out the products!

The Holomaxx website says "holoMaXx does not set any bounds, nor do we
acknowledge any...limiting our vision would limit our ability to grow."

The bounds of law and common sense however govern all businesses. Mr.
Bilynsky apparently has decided that the "business" of high-end ripoff
cables is where he belongs!

http://www.plast.org/pni/ups_plastynu_files/BilynskyIhor.html


Holomaxx claims to "manufacture". Since this is being done in a residential
neighborhood, a complaint has been filed with the city of Philadelphia to
stop commercial activity in this quiet residential street.

Now he's scamming these "products" on the Usenet. Pictures of the "product"
on the website curiously look to be commercially available cables with
"AVIC" shrinkwrap applied!

INVESTIGATION BY PENNSYLVANIA AUTHORITIES CONTINUES!


AMBIENCE AUDIO
--------------

Ambience Audio AKA Steve Rouse >

Not listed as dealer. Has claimed to be a dealer called "Ambience Audio",
but the phone number is listed to a residential address in Windham, CT.
City has confirmed NO business license has been found for this seller, and a
search of the State of Connecticut shows no business license in this name.

Investigation is continuing


SAVANT AUDIO JOSHUA CINTRON AND MARY MALLERY
---------------------------------------------

Joshua Cintron is a dealer that spams the newsgroup on a regular basis. The
business is called "Savant Audio", and is located at 287 Clarksville Road in
Princeton Junction, NJ. The business address looks to be a residential
address, and is also owned by Mary Mallery.

There is NO such business registered with the State of New Jersey, as
required however. The only business registered to Mr. Cintron is a software
company. New Jersey also requires a pawnbroker's license to sell used audio
equipment. No business telephone is listed to this "business" either.

The investigation will continue after more information is returned from the
New Jersey state taxation department as well as the city government offices.


RICHARD MARKS DESIGN AKA GOOD AUDIO
-----------------------------------

Investigation of this advertisement reveals the following:

NO DBA registered with Los Angeles County as required for either "Richard
Marks Design and Consulting" or "Good Audio".

http://www.lavote.net/fbn/

No corporation in this name registered to Richard Marks or anyone else

Phone number is RESIDENTIAL line in North Hollywood, registered to Richard
Marks.

http://www.whitepages.com/find_person_results.pl?fidac?8&pP60090

It is illegal to do business in Los Angeles County without the required
business registrations.

DOCDVD.COM
----------

Chief Executive Officer/Publisher
Digital Man Interactive, Inc./dba eTEKSupport Services
DocDVD.com/DVDPhD.com/GameGeekz.com
#262
2625 Piedmont Road, Suite 56
Atlanta, GA 30324

Let's review this "fact" by "fact", shall we!

DIGITAL MAN INTERACTIVE, INC.
790 HIGHLAND TERRACE NE
ATLANTA, GA 30306

Listed by Georgia Secretary of State as "noncompliant" corporation.
Officers are listed as:
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER JOSHUA LEHMAN
790 HIGHLAND TERRACE NE ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30306
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER CHARLES BOETTGER
790 HIGHLAND TERRACE NE ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30306
SECRETARY JASON LARRABEE
790 HIGHLAND TERRACE NE ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30306

As noted previously, none of these is listed in the phone directory, and the
address is a residential area, not a business.

Agent for Service (generally an attorney) is listed as "Jason White", and
yup, you guessed it, SAME RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS as above! So, living in one
house are TWO Jasons, one Joshua, and one Charlie!

Wonder if "Joshua Lehman" knows that filing corporate registrations with
phony names as officers is a fraud. Guess we'll find out soon!

Even funnier is Mr. "Lehman's" alleged business address. Yup, he's right. .
..it IS a business address. Unfortunately, it's not HIS business. It's a
MAILDROP!

MAILBOXES ETC
2625 PIEDMONT RD NE STE 56
ATLANTA GA 30324-5905

And as for the Pioneer products being "sold" by this phony company, Pioneer
does not list either this company nor Image Tek as authorised internet
dealers.

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/Pioneer/CDA/ServiceAndSupport/AuthorizedIn
ternetDealers/0,1460,60~6040,00.html

This puts the warranty in jeopardy of being dishonored according to Pioneer.
They have been asked about the legitimacy of Image Tek's transshipment of
products to DocDVD in Atlanta. We've also asked HiFi Buys, a legitimate
ELITE dealer in Atlanta how they feel about this transshipment into their
jurisdiction. They're likely to be very unhappy.

AUDIOESSENTIALS - TORONTO ONTARIO
---------------------------------

Apparently owned by someone named Frank Pugliano, claims to be a dealer for
(among others) Martin Logan, JM Labs, Morduant Short, and Cambridge Audio.

However the authorised distributor for these brands in Canada has refuted
these claims! Daniel Jacques of www.plurison.com said: "No matter what
this fellow claim , he isn't a dealer. RAM I guess , is a dangerous place
to buy expensive products - you just never know to whom you are giving your
money. "

Investigation with Ontario authorities is continuing.

**RESULT: EJECTED FROM USENET**

MOON AUDIO HIGHERFI.COM
-----------------------

Claims to be an "agent" for other audio dealers. Among the new and demo
products he claims to have are Krell and Goldmund items. Both of these
companies have denied that Moon Audio is a dealer, and have warned that
their warranty will not be valid on a purchase from Moon.

No business license or registration has been undertaken by "Moon Audio" in
Minnesota. Claimed corporate registration of "INTESEL" has failed to file
corporate reports for over two years in Minnesota.

Website "higherfi.com" owned by Techno-Marketing, Inc. which also has NO
corporate or business registration in Minnesota as required.

No telephone listing is available for "Moon Audio" or "HigherFI" from the
whitepages directory.

The Cities of Shakopee and Bloomington, MN are currently investigating this
operation.


TREVOR STOREY - NEWARK
----------------------------------------

This gentleman has taken to posting long lists of equipment listed variously
as "used" or demos. These ads end with the phrase-

Best regards -- Trevor
(302-737-2606)

Say, Trevor, we can't seem to find a business license for you, sport.
Activities currently under investigation by Newark City as well as state
authorities.

A business license is required for businesses operating in the City of
Newark.

CITY OF NEWARK HAS ORDERED TREVOR STORY CLOSED FOR CAUSE!

LOWTHERSPEAKERS.COM
---------------------------

©¯THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES©— This quote from the
Lowther/Usedhifi.com website summarizes the scam that is being conducted by
this company.

It is located in a suburban St. Louis home of David Dicks, who has no
business telephone, no business license, no DBA Fictitious Business Name
registration, no NUTHIN©–.

http://sosweb.sos.state.mo.us/businessentity/default.asp

He is a competitor in ©¯pawnshop and fleamarket junk©— with Ken Drescher.

The ©¯company©— requires cash upfront for all purchases. NEVER a good sign!

Investigation with the city of Chesterfield, Missouri is continuing.

**RESULT: EJECTED FROM USENET**


PUT SEUNSOM
-----------

A frequent group spammer, this "used audio dealer" is also operating a
home-business sans licenses.

His "business phone" 713-662-3901, is listed as Naty Seunsom, 4102 Glenshire
Street in Houston, 77025, Texas. Houston requires a business license, none
registered. Texas requires a Pawnshop License for all sellers of used audio
and video equipment, none registered. (513-963-7600). An Assumed Name
registration is also required with the Harris County Clerk, none shown in
the records for this business or this owner.

http://208.254.130.121/CoolICE/AssumeNames/an_inquiry

Additional investigation and Inquiry being conducted with Harris County and
City of Houston, Texas.

**RESULT: EJECTED FROM USENET**

COASTLINE CABLES
----------------
Let's look at the "business practices" of "Coastline Cables", shall we?

1. Now listed as a "fictitious business", thanks to the work we've done
exposing this problem.

2. Only takes credit cards via "PayPal", not a protected way to buy. Hell,
my six-year-old can be a "dealer" with PayPal!

3. Won't take returns, and has no inventory. Website says:

* All products will be delivered from the factory direct to you, since
Coastline Cables does not carry any inventory on hand.

* In the unlikely event of a return, please send back to place of origin,
And not here to Coastline Cables

And the "place of origin", known as Twisted-Pair-Designs in Germantown, NY,
has their own set of "business" problems. "Twisted Pair Designs" or
"TPD" is NOT listed as a licensed business in New York, or Albany County,
NY? Nor do they possess a "DBA" (fictitious business name) statement.

AND. . .

Their "business phone" isn't even registered to a business (518-828-2060),
but to "A.F. Almstead 15 Half Circle Road, Germantown, NY". We have
referred these problems to the Germantown Town Clerk, Ms. Wendy Nack-Lawlor
for her follow-up.


KLJ TECHNOLOGIES
----------------

Well, another unregistered "home business" scammer uncovered!

This CABLE scammer Kevin Johnson and Crucita Johnson (odd that many of the
scams involve this known ripoff product) has NO business registration in
Florida, and NO business telephone listed.

http://www.sunbiz.org/corpweb/inquiry/ficinam.html

The "business" is in a residential neighborhood, in an old house, which
explains in part the scam. So much for the KLJ Technologies "facility", a
$45K home in St. Petersberg, FL.

http://www.pao.co.pinellas.fl.us/htbin/cgi-scr3?o=1&a=1&b=1&r=&s=1&u=0&p=04+
31+16+06210+001+0100272%2C209266%2C398&name=View

An investigation is currently underway.

GRESH AUDIO
-----------

Currently under investigation, following FACTS are known:

1, No real email address, no real website address.

2. Company "address" is in fact private mailbox "service"

3. Phone number listed on website is NOT listed to this "business" but in
fact to Robert Schulz, 283 Buttonwood Drive, Paramus NJ

4. No business registered in either Paramus or Westwood, NJ

**RESULT: EJECTED FROM USENET**


TEKLINE AUDIO
-------------
Mr. Tekline, also allegedly known as Robert Richardson,
hasn't even bothered to register his lame-o business in the county of Los
Angeles, as required by law!

he has decided to list used gear on his website.

---------------------------------------
Another member reports: "This "dealer" (he claims to be "Target HIFI" in
Florida) has been high-pressuring me to buy this Bryston gear. He told me
"we are dealers for Bryston, Kimber, Creek, Rogue", etc. Note he didn't say
AUTHORIZED dealers, since none of these companies lists "Target HIFI" or
anyone approaching him as an authorized dealer.

**RESULT: EJECTED FROM USENET**


------------------
Claims to have "stellar feedback". His ebay "feedback" is 1. That's right
sport, ONE. That is hardly "excellent feedback" as he claims. It's crap.

Also came by a home I own to harass me. Not a stable human. . .maybe not
even human!
