Ripped Off and mad!!!

[manygunner]

Things like this is why I will never use Ebay. That place is a breedign ground of thieves, fraud artists and other rip offs. The worst part is that Ebay refuses to take any real action, will not warranty any items sold ont heir service and give you very little recourse. Their much touted anti-scam software and monitoring is a joke too. Amazon used to at least warranty your purchase for a certain dollar amount when they had their auction site. Ebay just wants to collect the percentage and wash their hands of any other connection. The sooner Ebay is shut down for promoting fraudulent activity the better

I was stationed at El Toro and Tustin Marine Corps Air Station in the 80's.
I am pretty well familiar with the Orange County area.

Judging from his profiled lifestyle, he may not be able to repay or even be alive very much longer...... He's a paid gun for hire ..... what a joke and why is that self proclaimed bad-@$$ on a purty-pink website anyway?

Why is it that so many overpaid " tough heros" in this day and age (wrestlers/football players/boxers/self proclaimed guns for hire) would never consider the ultimate challenge of serving our country in the military?

Oops.....(steps down from soapbox)

LOL
No prob... I went from light hearted to serious. Dont know when or how. Canada would be a good alibi. Still funny though... What was is that was mention in the previous post some people post too much about them, maybe that one got away from me.

I too was stationed in that area one time. Had a few friends in Laugna Hills. However I was a lil further south.

He cant be doing an jobs right now LOL, he just had knee surgery he cant pay for. Maybe thats why he ripped me off. Am I suppose to feel sorry for him now? I hope not because I dont!

He really likes to talk about that bullet he took to the chest. I think I will have to agree with you on all counts here!!!

I was afraid they would say something like that. The Police almost said the same thing. At least its on the record and when I go to CA the complaint will be forwarded to OC, CA. So it will be local an hopefully huant him more.

IIRC those magazines are a felony for a non LEO to have
in their possesion here in ©aliban.Any magazine of over
10rd in capacity you did not have in your possesion prior
to December 31, 1999 would a a violation of SB23.
They could also go after him for exporting standard capacity
magazines without a permit.I doubt the authorities here in Ca
will do anything about any of it.But you can hope.

Manygunner that's the way most of corporate America works these days. It's no longer a game of who has the best products or services. It's a matter of who plays the best con job and our politicans all pocket money from these people. After all, they have to pay someone to make all this **** legal.

Here is what I did.

His username is parawiss on this site. His email is parawiss@yahoo.com

He had no yahoo profile, but I did plug in parawiss into yahoo. I found this site...

http://suicidegirls.com/members/parawiss/65900/

Which told me that Feb 19, 1982 is his birthday. I then see a location and a hometown. So I copy them for future reference.

On the bottom of the above site is his "website" which I went to.

http://www.myspace.com/parawiss

This site shows me a link to his photobucket picture and tells me where he went to high school, his girlfriends name, and


Scruffy Bear's Schools
El Toro High
Lake Forest, CALIFORNIA
Grad Year: 2000
Student Status: Alumni
Degree: High School Diploma
From 1996 to 1999

I think at this point I went into google and other search engines to get more info (each engine is a little different) I found out he has a few threads around the web selling various things under the same name, each has one of 2 location.

I then went into yahoo to see if there was any information in the member directory. I gave up there, but I know that if you loose your password to your yahoo account it asks for a few personal details, including the zip code of the account.

I went to the lost password page...

http://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_fo...stepid=&.last=

It wants a username, I got that from his yahoo email address. Then it wants birthday and zip code. Only after you enter all 3 fields correctly does it let you go on to answer the secret question.

I know his email, I know his birthday, he puts it out on the internet, all I need is a zip code. One of his locations was Lake Forrest CA, if I do a zip code search on yahoo and put in his email and birthday it wont let me go on to the secret quesiton until I get the zip code right. Well, there are only 2 zip codes in Lake Forrest CA according to Yahoo.

The zip codes for Lake Forest, CA: 92609, 92630

I pluged them in until it let me go to his secret question. Now I know his email, zip code, what he looks like, who his girlfriend is, and where he went to high school.

With his picture its only a matter of time before his real name is known. I can go search for a Yahoo group or something like that from his highschool, email a few people the picture and ask if they remember him, they will say "yea thats so and so" and then you have him.


Yahoo says all of the information is correct because it let me continue to the secret question. I would never try to access his email account by getting his secret question right, but this just goes to show that when you put all of your business out on the internet you have no privacy. Anyone who visited the 2 sites that he made AND knows the name of his pet has complete access to his yahoo account. Rediculous. He should be thankful I didnt go try to find out what his pets name was.

[Waldo]

He is a hard man to find. I will work on this more monday. We will find his address. I got his supposed whole name but he is hard to find through phone directories, I think he only uses cell phone.

[beakersloco]

Dude I didnt read all the posts here .....but I buy and sell on ebay and all you need to do is request his info from ebay... this should include his name and address.

goto this page
http://cgi1.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAP...st#ContactInfo
It should provide you with his info.

Also take a look at this page
