The following is the old list of bad traders from a previous version of the VH Trade site. The page no longer exists; however, I dug it up on my PC, and by request I will reprint it here. I have no idea if any of these traders are still out there...--------------------------------------A list of known bad traders Alphabetized by last name - Updated 7/24/00-------------------------------------- Name: Louis T. Carreiro Known E-mail: PVWolfie@aol.com City: Beavercreek State: OH Zip/Postal Code: 45432 Testimonial: Traded VH concert from '91 for VH in the Studio (1984) in February '99. Never got item. Contacted him several times. He always tells me he will send it out. Almost a year now and I have gotten the item. Sent by: James Munjone Date posted: 12/09/99 -------------------------------------- Name: Antonio Cheng Known E-mail: n/a City: Miami State: FL Zip/Postal Code: 33166-6559 Testimonial: I sent Antonio a CD-R copy of the two-cd set "Wolfgang Attack" in exchange for "77+ Live" and "5150 Leftovers." This was on 26 April 1999. He got my end within a week, I'm still waiting for his. Lame excuse followed lame excuse, and then he stopped replying at all. Don't trade with this guy. Sent by: Craig Allen Date posted: 2/06/00 -------------------------------------- Name: Tony Giann Known E-mail: highbidder99@aol.com City: Flushing State: NY Zip/Postal Code: 11385 Testimonial: We had arranged a 2 show for 2 show video trade, and he insisted on shipping priority. I shipped my shows the very next morning. That was over 5 weeks ago, and I have received nothing from him but excuses. He has since blocked my email address so I can not contact him. Sent by: Mike Pietersen Date posted: 12/09/99 -------------------------------------- Name: Chucky Kirkendal, Jr. Known E-mail: chk8635@cub.uca.edu City: Conway State: Arkansas Zip/Postal Code: 72035 Testimonial: Sent 2 blanks on 10/21/99 for 1 show. No e-mails, after many, many emails by myself. Don't be ripped off by this jerk! Follow thru with the trade, it's no rocket science here! Don't waste my time, effort, and most imporant blanks! Sent by: Mike Kirka Date posted: 12/09/99 -------------------------------------- Name: Jason Lentz Known E-mail: satch@monsterous.com City: Henderson State: Nevada Zip/Postal Code: 89014 Testimonial: Date of Trade June 2, 2000 Sent 8 blank CDRs and VH "Light up the Sky" cdr for the VH "Looney Tunes" 4 cd set. I sent several e-mails with NO response. May you rot in hell. Sent by: Joe St.Laurent Date posted: 7/24/00 -------------------------------------- Name: Richard Morava Known E-mail: newsphoto@juno.com City: Don't remember State: Florida Zip/Postal Code: forgot Testimonial: Basically, we had agreed that I'd send the guy two blank tapes and on one of them, he'd record me golden west ballroom and send it back to me; he'd then get to keep the other tape. Well, I never got what I was supposed to get in return and its been a lot longer than two months so I feel that I was screwed on the trade. I dont remember too much about the guy. I think that the e-mail address above is the correct one; I dont know of any others. I dont remember the guy's zip code or city, but I do know that his name is Richard Morava and he resides somewhere in Florida. So I would highly reccommend that you guys avoid this guy and do not trade with him.

All communication ceased once he received my portioin of the trade. Sent by: Eric Fossum Date posted: 12/14/99 Testimonial 2: I made a 4 CD-R trade with him in July 99. I sent my side out to him within a week. After recieving nothing from him for about 1 month I started e-mailing him without reply. After many many emails I recieved 2 replies about 2 days apart. The first stated he recieved my cd's and mine were sent out. The second reply said he was having trouble with his cd burner and would send them out when he got it fixed and he would send an extra disc for my troubles. I never got anything and he totally quit replying to e-mails. I posted him as a bad trader and a good person, who was also ripped off by this guy, gave me his phone number. I called Mr. Nirmal and he said he didn't recall making a trade with me, but he would make good on his side of it if I would send him e-mails proving we actually had a trade. Luckily I saved the e-mails and I sent them to him, and still nothing. He recently contacted a friend of mine for a trade, and low and behold the items I sent him were on his list. This guy is still trying to rip people off. I know of at least 4 people he has done this to, please don't trade with this #@*$! or you will be sorry! Sent by: Jason Danford Date posted: 12/09/99 -------------------------------------- Name: Ian Price Known E-mail: vhking5150@aol.com City: Port Jefferson State: NY Zip/Postal Code: 45432 Testimonial: I sent him a CD-R of a DLR concert then he responds that he didn't realize we were trading CD-R's. I told him if there was a problem to let me know and we could work something out. Well, needless to say this guy still hasn't came through with anything.

He accepted my tapes that I sent immediately, and after a few e-mails made up of lame excuses, he stopped replying to my messages. Sent by: Ryan Hargraves Date posted: 12/09/99 Testimonial 2: I sent him a copy of my live in Toronto '98 video for a copy of Van Halen rarities 1978-1995 with interview videos and rare live stuff. Well that was about 8 months ago. I keep asking him what happened but he blokced my e-mail he kept saying that he sent them and theyll be there sortly! Yea rite!! HE HAS 3 ICQ numbers everyone!!!!! 15164423, 15287320 and 20122994. [Update:] It's me again. I also saw on his site the Toronto video!!! Now where do you suppose that came from?!? Sent by: OC_CASEII Date posted: 1/15/00 Testimonial 3: Yup, I too have been ripped off by this clown. I sent him a Sammy Hagar in St. Louis video in a trade for the Sammy in Oakland, Ca. "Marching To Mars" tour video, and it never materialized. I've e-mailed him repeatedly and first I got excuses, and now I get nothing. No responses, nada. This guy will RIP YOU OFF, DO NOT trade with him. Sent by: Shawn Moynihan Date posted: 3/23/00 Testimonial 4: I SENT HIM 10 VIDEOS 75 DAYS AGO AS OF TODAY. HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM HIM.

I don't want to start anything with anyone, so I'm not going to mention names here...That being said, I do recognize a few names here as being VHML members. They may not members as I type this (it's recently moved to Yahoogroups), but as early as the start of this year they were listers... :roll:

I definitely recognize one of these guys from the VH/DLR boards on AOL from about 5-6 years ago. Interesting to see his name pop up again....

Sent by: Jim Pal Date posted: 4/10/00 Grrr...this is the guy I posted about a couple of weeks ago...other known addresses are:JamminRastaman@aol.com and his latest: TheLimey81@aol.com He also currently sends his name as: "Ian Rice" to set up trades, proabably to avoid detection. He still lives in Port Jefferson, NY.Andrea
