Jonesy fraud

AAaaahhh, Jonesy! Yes. it has been a while, but he is known on rec.models.scale! Thanks for the reminder of this scumbags miserable existence. We stand fore warned that he is at it again.

Jonesy just changed his Ebay ID from jcjones to dalmatianplantation01. Watch out for this new alias.

i know a legbreaker in jersey....he in't cheap but he is good.

This guy had a "go-round" or two on RMS as well a couple years ago if I remember. I never bought anything from him so can't say from personal knowledge but I seem to remember several popping up here indicating "issues" with him.

I wonder if he's scamming some Disney folks. The 101 Dalmations address may be worth looking into.

I'll contact a couple of people there that I know and warn them.

Thanks,

Tom

Wow. Bringing that guy back is sure gonna stir up some ire. I predict this thread will get huge without him even making a post to RMS. Now, watch the flames begin! ;)

Just imagine how upset some would be if he posted his phoney list one---by---one.

:-)

I don't think anyone ever really bought anything from the guy. They just sent him money, thinking they were buying things. He used to post a rather lengthy list of things for sale that week in, week out were the same things. Talk about FS posts getting on the nerves! IIRC, he threatened just about all of us regulars with lawsuits because we wrote about him. One did not have to say anything defamatory to get the threat. I hope the authorities finally do something positive about this guy.

Oh gods, why me?

I'm sure I've been had by this guy. Way back when I first got online (1999!) I found a webpage with a list of kits being given away, all I had to pay was postage. As he had an F-19 kit I wanted I tried for it. $10, 6 weeks and no kit later I realised it wasn't coming. I am 99% sure Jones was the name.

That's a new variation of the scams this guy has been accused of. I'll have to remember that one in case he ever trys it again.

Bill Shuey

perhaps instead of a useless flame-a-thon, people will smarten up and tell his isp, and warn his customers. you know, like do something goof? the coin collecting groups do this and get many scumbags naru's from ebay and other places. we can do it.

sorry lad, but for that much vig, i'll do it myself. and buy models with the cash.

perhaps if we each mailed him a nice box of dogshit, he might buy a clue.
