This is the same person that tried to sell the Beta Box awhile back in Florida (Florida number in the email).The real Daniel Chang has stated: quote: Originally by Daniel Chang: If you can, please comment and let everyone know to contact me directly if they really have an issue. Also, state that it is a fraud.

That phone number is listed to Tallahassee, FL. I bet it's our favorite scammer again...I'm just disappointed I didn't get it.

Yes, Daniel is aware of the situation. He also asked me to post this: Dear MOTL members, Please disregard any postings from the fraudulent member online. We signed up for an account trying to respond to postings, but apparently there is a hacker or bot either producing fraudulent emails internally or externally. If you have any questions, contact me at: daniel@gradedmagiccards.com Thank you, Daniel Chang www.gradedmagiccards.com Sincerely, Daniel Chang President and CEO GMTG: Graded Magic Cards, LLC

I got an email from him about a month ago, blocked him, and promptly reported it as (we all obviously know) spam!

I wonder what exactly he was planning to do if someone went out to Washington to meet in a public place?

I didn't see it on my calender it must be help out a RIPPER DAY! Maybe it's just because he didn't actually rip anyone while using this site. Why anyone would help out a confirmed ripper is beyond me. Maybe you forgot this, or maybe not, or it just doesn't matter? http://classic.magictraders.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/025202.html I understand that others don't mind dealing with degenerate thieves because they want something and it obviously doesn't matter what type of person it is as long as they have what it is they need.

I'm fairly sure that in the above cases it was a scammer who stole his (internet) identity and tried to use it.

Except this was an ebay auction in that linked thread above. Presumably they were using the "contact seller" button on eBay, so unless his eBay account itself was entirely hacked, it was presumably actually him that farsk8 was dealing with no?

No, the eBay case was the real person. Motl has no control over what happens on eBay, but if someone is farming the emails here and impersonating someone, everyone has a right to know, including the person being impersonated. I was ripped off by Channelfireball, but through eBay, not this site. They still deal here. I've sent Daniel Chang literally thousands of dollars worth of cards and aside from expected delays, I've really had no problems. I'm not condoning what happened in the other case, I just wanted to get the facts out there over these emails.

Of course I haven't forgotten, and yes, it matters to me. What happened to you was quite awful and I would never deal with gradedmagiccards myself because of it. But "help out a Ripper Day?" Really? NOT informing Daniel Change would be "helping out a ripper". Danny Cheung has used these types of emails and scams many, many times on our MOTLers. We need to inform the community at large about this, and letting Daniel Chang know so that he can inform others is the right thing to do here.

Did you miss the part where it's not actually Chang that's scamming these people, but an IMPERSONATOR? So apparently we should continue letting this guy impersonate Daniel Chang just because you have an issue with him? Did you forget about all of the potential victims of this scam, or is it just that having other innocent people scammed is perfectly worthwhile as long as you get to see Chang's reputation damaged? Sure, Chang's probably more worried about protecting his own name (as I would be), but getting this information out to the community, including through him (who can help reach a large part of the Magic community), helps the community protect themselves from being scammed by the impersonator. And that is MUCH more important than your individual, personal issue against him, no matter how valid it may be.
