CHRISTIAN SCAMMER OR BOTH

Post by britishham »

Is KI6UP a Scammer a Christian or Both, I sent a check for $375 as agreed for items including UPS ship. he said he would send UPS tracking number when check cleared, it cleared on the 21st Nov, he does not answer my phone calls any more, maybe another Christian can contact him on 251 288 9272 and ask for my tracking number. He ends his telephone message with God Bless You and his QRZ page he is giving Thanks to God and ends his page God Bless you So if he is such a God Loving Ham why Doeth he steal. If he as just celebrated a Birthday in his Religion then Jimmy Reynolds should check commandment No 8 Taking money for goods and not supplying them and not returning money IS STEALING. His email is not correct on QRZ or his address but the phone is listed to him in Daphne AL 36526, God Bless You Jimmy Reynolds iii You must have had a good Celebration on the 25th Dec on my $375 Check cashed 21 Nov promised tracking number not received many phone calls from me and after ten days a message on my machine said he had left town and left his mobile phone at home parcel will be shipped next day. Another ten days with me leaving messages. non returned, then a call, his mother in law had died and he was very sorry he forgot to ship promised again to ship next day and provide track number, Now one calender month from cashing of check Registered letter sent 21st Dec requesting return of money Will update as soon as I receive a response from KI6UP Jimmy Reynolds iii Will be obtaining small claims documents this week. Any Ham know the best way to deal with this guy with a small claims court. Forty two years a Ham and this is the first time I meet a bad one. My email and address are correct on QRZ for contact KD4QFT

I take it this was an ebay deal. Quick look at his feedback tells you that he has a less than stellar record. :?

Just because someone claims to be religious, let alone a God-fearing Christian, does not make them so. Less than honest people will often cloak themselves in virtue... it's part of the spiel.

You don't say where you're from. I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not familiar with Small Claims Court in AL, so I think you're best bet would be to contact the police in his home town, file a complaint, and find out from them how to contact the small claims court or equivalent. You may be required to appear in person; again, the court's staff ought to be able to give you that information.

A call to the police is sad, and distasteful. But it may be enough to shake this guy loose... and if he's really dishonest, well, it won't do much good, but it might be enough to get him to resolve the matter before a formal investigtion is launched.

If this sale was conducted via eBay, contact them as well. They may have additional means to resolve the situation, although if you paid him via check (not PayPal) that may be limited.

Good luck, keep us posted.

Religious / denominational affiliation is one of the LARGEST grounds for fraud.

The attorney in one southern state recently stated that over 50% of the cases of investment-related fraud his office investigates is based on religious or denominational affiliation.

I gave the thread starter some tips on what I would do, he had already contacted the police so thats a good first step but I have him some other pointers and tools that will really help.

I hope my tips help him out.

Considering the vast amount of experience you must have in this area, in light of the amount of equipment that has passed through your company's hands...

A new thread explaining, in general, some of the steps that should be taken (and should not be taken) when dishonesty & fraud may be involved could be instructive.

And I do mean specifically when fraud (theft, theft by deception, theft by non-delivery, and so forth) is involved, as opposed to misunderstandings, accidents, or circumstances beyond someone's control.

Examples would be of how long to wait before contacting the authorities, what authorities to contact in what circumstances, when to file civil actions, what venues might be appropriate, what information to have ready, what proof of payment and/or delivery might be needed in court... things like that.

Just a thought.

It's something that I personally would love to use as an article in my club newsletter. All too often, people have little rip-offs occure to them, and not knowing how to proceed (if they can proceed), simply shrug and write it off as experience... and the crook continues to the next victim.

What do you think?

Could be worse. Last time I went to Red Lobster, my Shrimp Scampi came looking suspiciously like a fried fish sandwich. And you don't want to know what they served my wife and daughter...

I thought about it when I was writing it to him and 3 others who contacted me being in the same boat.

I will try to do that soon, My only problem is my time is so short however I will put together a list of actions I would take and post it when I can.

Despite what a small handful may think of me I really am here to help if I can.

Funny. Do a Google on Radio Mart and it looks like more than a "small handful". I don't see how the problems of another ham could possibility be of concern to you.

That’s Funny Peter, its people like you who have no idea what they are talking about.
You see a lot of what has been written about me has been nothing than unfounded lies and distortions of the truth, now if you chose to believe that then hey be my guest.
I have to question what it is constructive you have tried to make by your posting?
Shure it’s none of my business other people’s problems until I am phoned and emailed and asked if I can help, it is then Peter the time it becomes my business.
However when I receive an email like the one I received today “Martyn
I really do appreciate all of your help on this. You really are first class in my book, because I know you have a business to run as well. That is just me, and how I was raised. Bottom line you are helping me, and you don't even have to, so I am more greatful than you know. “ I feel good and have no problem helping others the best I can.
I am sorry you felt you had to try to make a disruptive comment and I am shure several may follow after my posting but like I mentioned in my original post, I am more than happy to try helping someone when I get some time.
How about you try and do the same Peter?

The statement that only a few people have problems with Radiomart was incorrect and that concerns me. The self styling as a helpful ham is not consistent with the previous behavior. It takes more than a few fancy words to convince me otherwise. Just my opinion on a free forum.

And I respect that this is an open, free speech forum which is why I asked you how it is you feel your comments are being helpful?

I have nothing to prove to you Peter, I don’t know you and you being in CA are unlikely to but you seem to feel that your comments are necessary and meaningful? I am sorry I just don’t see it that way, Maybe you can explain to the others how you have had a problem with me or my company? Not a friend of a friend said this and that but you personally.

It appears you have been misled by yes a minority, if you check my current eBay feedback on just one of my accounts I have over 17,600 positive feedbacks, that’s a lot of radios, so yes I do feel your ill advised and your comments seem to be attempting to mislead others.
That’s my 2 cents worth to you Peter.

Mislead? I don't think so. Go to E-Ham and read the 30+ pages of posts about you. Then go to a few websites and see how you treated your customers For example here http://www.vr2xmt.com/ebayconradiomart.html Now is this someone you would do business with? And why, after reading that page and others would a reasonable person be inclined too?

So save your condescending drivel for the judge because I don't bye it.

Never seen a judge professionally, never been to court EVER , I wonder why? That’s because the narrow minded morsels who chose to post some irritating drivel have nothing better to do than lie.

Like I said over 17,500 positive feedbacks, a successful business outside of eBay, I guess My Company is really that bad?

This thread is way off topic now and it’s because two of you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about ignoring the 17,500 fully satisfied customers and believing the what is it 16 individuals who have posted 30 pages on eHam and they only post there because I chose to ignore their tripe and not go there, why has there been no action against me or my company ever?

Ask any of them for facts and it’s a different story I found most of them have not even dealt with me yet have a lot to say like Peter above who just assume .

Shure I can’t keep 100% of my customers happy but I shure try to.

So if you have any proof yourself and not hearsay I suggest you mention it here so I can address it.

It seems to me that you tried this "if anyone has had a bad personal experience with me, post it" thing before. I know in my case you told a bunch of lies about me to retaliate and I would assume from my experience that you did the same to many others. But then again, that is not too much different from the way you used to leave retaliatory feedback on eBay to anyone who dared to show you in a bad light.

Just remember, You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you will never be able to fool all of the people all of the time.

I was totally in favor of giving you a chance to start fresh and was hoping you would be able to change some of your ways. But you coming on this forum and saying that everybody that has complained about you in the past was lying about you is just a big load of crap and you well know it. Why not just try to do the best that you can for NOW and leave the old stuff alone? As I have said before, if YOU leave it alone it WILL DIE, but you can't expect to come on here and say you never did a thing wrong and expect everyone to just sit and take it. As I have stated before there are a few hams with as much feedback as you on eBay annd I know of at least two that have 100% Feedback or very near it.

Hi
I have no idea why you guys are beating up K4TEC he as nothing to do with this post OTHER THAN
I contacted him as advised by a fellow Ham at the beginning of this post
Within a few minutes I had a reply from him offering his help and we discussed the options available.
Please take people as they treat you not as others tell you how they have been treated.
I agree with a few emails, was I dealing with the real KI6UP
His adress in QRZ and the FCC I now know are incorrect, all the email adresses he as listed bounce back;
He as a cell phone and a CDL licence listed to the address were I sent the check Ridgewood Drive AL so I am sure I am dealing using the term dealing loosely with the real James Reynolds iii.
So I have listed the info on all Ham site's as said before I am only one side of the story, am I telling the truth, or as jimmy another story to tell you.
I have copies of cashed check signed Jimmy Reynolds
I have receipt of registered letter dated 23rd Dec
I have contacted Daphne Police the Detective informed he would follow up on my info.
I have written to the FCC, Internet fraud IC3, and had a reply from the FCCcopy sent below.

Mr. Reynolds:
The Federal Communications Commission recently received an email from Mr. Wilson indicating that you had received $375 from him in exchange for some radio equipment; but that the equipment had never been sent. Mr. Wilson further alleges that he has tried to contact you numerous times in an attempt to get you to refund his $375 with no success. Finally, Mr. Wilson questions whether this type of behavior has any bearing on your qualifications to remain a Commission licensee.

As a result of this information, the Enforcement Bureau can place a "hold" on any subsequent activities regarding your amateur license until such time as the Commission had made a final determination as to whether or not you have the requisite character qualifications to remain a Commission licensee. Section 1.903(b) of the Commission's rules states that "[t]he holding of an authorization does not create any rights beyond the terms, conditions and period specified in the authorization. Authorizations may be granted upon proper application, provided that the Commission finds that the applicant is qualified in regard to citizenship, character, financial, technical and other criteria, and that they public interest, convenience and necessity will be served."

In sum, an allegation regarding your character qualifications has been raised and the matter is currently under review. In order to avoid having an enforcement “hold” placed upon your license, I suggest you resolve the matter with Mr. Wilson as quickly as possible. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, you can contact me at the number listed below in my signature line.
All this agro Jimmy for $375
Please DO NOT beat up K4TEC he responded to me with help
What you can say how he treated YOU PERSONALLY is not helping Hams dealing with Scammers
