Hey everyone!

So, as you all know we have a returning ripper problem. Mr. John Strickland has returned and ripped over and over again. I'd like to ask that those of you with Have/Want lists, and/or Trade Auction, Sales and Buy lists post a warning on your lists in hopes that more people will see it.

It's not a requirement or anything, just a request to help protect everyone.

His information is:

John Strickland
apt 705 - 1971 St.Laurent Blvd
Ottawa, Ontario
K1G 3P8
Canada

Other known Addys:

Yann Gagnon
1274 rue des ardennes
quebec, QC, G1N 1K1
Canada

matt firestone
22 zokol crescent
kanata ontario
k2k 2k4

Other known names:

John Austin Strickland
Austin Strickland
Jon Strickland
Jonathon Strickland
J. Austin S.
Jack Strickland

Ebay accounts:

Lithium-Zero
indentation12


Or you could just post a simple warning with a link to his CBTL listing: http://classic.magictraders.com/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000751.html

Anything to try and stop this idiot.


Thanks,
Jazaray

Whatever happened to him realizing the error of his ways?

I thought he turned over a new leaf when he returned everyone's stuff.

Sad :/

I've been personally ripped by him, so I will help spread the word.

Yeah, I thought so too, but apparently, he's an ass.

Thanks,

Somebody should give the RCMP a call? If there's multiple complainants the police usually haul more ass than otherwise. Also, you have his house address, so the detective can do more than just google the guy and give up.

Surely someone has called the police on him before? Is it a kid? Hopefully he'll never get a real job due to everyone googling names/addys before hiring.

Good call Jazz, I'll post a link on my list to this one.

Strickland. Isn't that the name of the bad guy in X-Men Origins: Wolverine?

I've added a more general variant:

quote:

Please remember to trade safely:

http://classic.magictraders.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/021766.html

Especially this suggestion:

1. Always search the Bad Trader Alert and Confirmed Bad Traders lists, using http://forums.magictraders.com/search.cgi?action=intro&default=3 Don't just search for a name or email address as both are easily changed. Always begin your search with the last name, street name, city and zip code, then see if the address of the person you are trading with is in one of the search results. One reason for this is that a ripper may intentionally misspell a city and/or street name or swap a couple digits in the zip code, relying on the postal service to catch the mistake and deliver it while not getting caught on a BTA/CBT search. When searching, do NOT use the "Search by User Name" option. This will only find posts that the specified username has posted on. Many rippers never respond to their own BTA threads, so this option isn't very effective. Use the "Search Words:" box, and type their username in there for more complete results.


Help keep MOTL a good place to trade.


If enough people do this, hopefully this will instill good trading habits for newer members.

@ Jaz hopefully something comes from this. Has anyone searched local game stores, called and put out a " hey this guy might play at your store?"

Yeah I kind of have the same question, if this person has ripped say 30+ people, why doesn't somebody organize a way of everybody contacting local police and explaining how he is committing mail fraud.

I don't know the exact monetary value of all the cards he's kept, but the more it is, the more the police will be inclined to do something about it.

Welcome to the world of mail fraud and red tape.

If everyone chips in and pays for a ticket for me to go there, I'll kick his ass hard. Can't afford it myself, but I have no problem resorting to violence.

I'll check with some of the Ottawa area gamers I know about this guy. Chances are the name is a fake though, or he doesn't frequent the popular shops/tournament scene. The first couple of guys I spoke with have never heard of him.

Done

Edit: His St-Laurent Blv addy is like a 10mins car ride from me (the kanata one is more like 30 mins). If he stills rips people off gimme all your proofs and I'll go to the Ottawa and/or Gatineau Police Department to open a file.

Nope, is not what I thought, but that explains were Strickland came from.
Thanks for clearing that up

So anybody caught this guy yet? I suppose MOTL should secretly host the first-annual Rippers convention, for all rippers to come and share their ripping experiences.
Then when they're all inside we close the doors on them, shut them in for 3 days while the song 'It's a small world after all' continuesly playes.

I don't play at Wizard's Tower (that's where I've heard he's playing) but like I said, i could open a file for fraud at the local Police Departement in both cities (Gatineau and Ottawa)

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that this idea is working out very well! Already had a brandy new member PM me with a new hacked account because he saw John's addy on someone's list! Keep it up!

Thanks,
