There have been several posts about this guy over the past few months. I will spare you the details of my adventures with him; suffice it to say that it has now been four months since I sent him payment for a Scruggs sneaky pete, and I've given up on ever receiving it. In the beginning there was, arguably, an honest misunderstanding about whether shipping was included, but I'm utterly at a loss to explain his behavior since then. As best I can tell, his name is either Bob Wilson or Bob Williamson, and he lives in Oak Forest, IL. BTW, in case you read this, Bob (or whatever your name is), I have noted your MO in other responses to posts wherein you threaten legal action. Just so you know, I'm a lawyer--so bring it on.

I would encourage you, Fliedout, and anyone else defrauded by this man to file this complaint with the Illinois Attorney General. If enough complaints are filed they may arrest him:

It seems you have an adress and name (or should have). Aren't money orders trackable back to the account and bank they were deposited in? I know personal checks are. It seems you should have plenty of amunition to go after this guy.
If you're an attorney, why don't you sue him? Just an observation, but I have never ever heard an attorney refer to himself as a lawyer.

If you wanted to do something about it you could. There are at least 5 people including me that has dealt with this guy and unhappy all around. He cashed a personal check from me so that should be in my bank account records.

It is. If you contact your bank, and ask for the scan of both sides of the check, the back side will have the transit (bank's central bank address), and account number (Rocinante's account number), printed on it. This could be used in court to get his ID if IDing him is a problem; and later in court to convict him of mail and wire fraud, theft, and whatever else is applicable (criminal), and breach of contract and whatever else is applicable (civil).
I think based on the scuttlebutt I have seen around here, this guy has defrauded several people out of several thousand dollars collectively, and then had the gall to threaten legal action against the victims. It sound like an open and shut case to me, if you guys just get together and go after him. E-mail and internet forums make terrific eveidence because it's all in writing.

Act, otherwise in my opinion you guys deserve what you got.
