EVER VIGILANT! RANDYSSTEREOOUTLET.COM BOGGSTUBE (EBAY) RANDY AND PATRICIA BOGGESS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST RANDY'S STEREO OUTLET - WV ORDERS BUSINESS CLOSED **WEST VIRGINIA AUTHORITIES FILE LAWSUIT AGAINST BOGGESS, TV REPORTERS CHASE HIM DOWN STREET AS HE HIDES LIKE THE SICK INDIVIDUAL HE IS*** WEBSITE AVAILABLE TO ORGANIZE THOSE SCAMMED AND GET THESE CHARLATANS PUT IN JAIL WHERE THEY BELONG - http://www.monkeyfreak.com/RSO.htm W ENTERPRISES NORTHWEST ----------------------- Maybe Mr. WENW Donald Winslow can explain why his corporate registration has been cancelled? http://sos-venus.sos.state.or.us:808...rch_inq.show_d etl?p_be_rsn=331097&p_srce=BR_INQ&p_print=FALSE 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. Domain Name: STUDENTSANDTHELAW.ORG Registrar: G.K. GROUP, L.L.C. Whois Server: whois.gkg.net Referral URL: http://www.gkg.net Name Server: NS1.NETREACH.NET Name Server: NS2.NETREACH.NET Registrant: Robert Morein 501 Edgehill Road Suite A9 Glenside, PA 19025-1238 US 2123888287 Registered at daddy's office, btw. 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. DAVID & CAROL MORETTO THEAUDIODEPT.COM/DISCOUNTS-N-DEALS.COM/CARDIFFROSE.NET ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aka: Edwin and Caroline Moretto Posts as: " with fraudulent name "Tom Dowd" and also " (along with a raft of other names @ his domains).

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_plastyn...ynskyIhor.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_perso...idac?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/Pi...t/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! -------------------------------------------------------- http://newark.de.us/docs/faq/licenses_permits.html **RESULT: EJECTED FROM USENET** 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/busine...ty/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/htb...&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! http://regrec.co.la.ca.us/fbn/ **RESULT: EJECTED FROM USENET** HIGHENDAUDIO.COM ---------------- Owned by a pitiful shell of a man, Ted has had so many lines pulled from him he has decided to list used gear on his website. AUDIOBUYS --------- This seller has NEGATIVE rating on Ebay! No business license from District of Columbia, required for all retail sellers. ----------------- Not listed as authorised dealer, although he claims to have "new" products with no rational explanation. Manufacturers all deny he's a dealer Warranty? Stolen? Who knows? **RESULT: EJECTED FROM USENET** aka ---------------------------------------------------- Not listed as authorised dealer, although he claims to have "new" products with no rational explanation. Manufacturers all deny he's a dealer **RESULT: EJECTED FROM USENET** & aka TARGET HIFI --------------------------------------- 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! **RESULT: EJECTED FROM USENET** --------------- Not listed as authorised dealer, although he claims to have "new" products with no rational explanation. Manufacturers all deny he's a dealer **RESULT: EJECTED FROM USENET** |
