Yeah i didn't because i had a feeling it was a scam since he wasn't replying, thank you though.
If anyone sent anything to San Antonio, TX 78217, you sent it to me and you will get your stuff back. But looks like no one has sent anything this way. |

I sent my rackets to: San Jose, CA 95126.
The street address I sent to, ends up being a home for sale (as indicated by google search). |

Is this guy basically having users send random racquets to other users? He seems to be using other users' personal info?

He paid me 20 bucks to tell someone that we were friends. The money he sent came from Winston Salem, NC 27127.
p.s. The only reason that I did is because I thought he need help selling his stuff since he has no feedback. |

flamekid - you actually accepted the guy's offer to lie to someone about being the guy's friend? Uncool.

I was also negotiating to buy his K6-1 Tour. The negotiations were very shady. I basically had the deal for the racket made when all of sudden he states he has a second frame he wants to sell. I would have gone ahead and bought them but what sent the alarm off with me is his refusal to use PayPal and his insistence on a postal M.O. sent to him before shipping the rackets. When I told him I was not comfortable with that he calls off the deal. It seems to me what he wants is whatever the deal is he wants his half first. Good thing my spider senses were tinging because I would probably be on here complaining about how I got ripped off $269 by htzan15. I hope everybody knows not to send money orders first when making these types of deals. They are just as good as cash and buyers have no recourse once the seller receives and cashes it. PayPal is not perfect but it's probably the best way to do these things.

Note: It appears flame kid IS the same guy as bbl/htazn. If you did get an e-mail from flamekid, please make a note of the address. Hondasteve, you may just have the guy's real address.

I should note that when I checked the delivery status online on USPS's site, I got a "delivery error" and later a delivery confirmation. I wonder if he used a different apartment number and somehow showed up and met the postman with a story or something. Just thinking out loud.
I noticed that there were several "Tran's"-the last name he used in the area and I am wondering if he had me send the package to a close by address and somehow intercepted the package when it arrived. I will continue to investigate and post any results. Omtkid and anone else that has been ripped by this *****clown, feel free to email me at the address in my profile. I might have to take a drive to Oklahoma City this weekend and do some legwork.... |

Hondasteve, I am not able to email you through the profile. I don't see any email address when I click on your profile (how does email through profile work? - your profile says: Hondasteve has no contact information).
I emailed diredesire and you at hotmail and aol. My address o m k t i d @ y a h o o dot com |

TW: You banned me without giving me a chance to tell you what happened. Someone got into my wifi connection(I didn't put up the encryption yet) and created a new email address. They then used my screen name and their yahoo id to did mess around. My wireless modem used the same ip to give to all the computers that were connected to it. We are not the same person.
Hondasteve: Some rackets were mailed to me but I'm not sure they're yours, please email me at flamekid992000@yahoo.com omktid: Please send a letter to the address of which you send your rackets too and they will be returned provided the recipient's cooperation. TW again: There is a security leak in your system that actually give someone the ability to sign up for tons of screen name from the same computer and they would all have the diffrent ip and mac and system number, that makes it impossible for you to tell who is using more than 1 id. The fs/t section would be spammed with ads from non legitimate seller if the security whole is not fixed. I won't tell anyone else about it. To everyone else who lost something, please email me at the address above since there is a high chance of this id being banned since I went against tw's wishes and created another id without their consent. I loved this forum but I guess I have to move on. But before that I have to make things right here first. I hope you change your ways when banning someone. Give them a chance to explain what happened. |

How do you know someone logged on to your wifi? You must be keeping logs of some sort. If you are intelligent enough to enable logging on your router, why not enable encryption at the same time? It just doesn't make sense. I have received an e-mail that gives some evidence that htazn15 (presumably you) have been scheming a scam for quite some time, so the fact that you have a detailed story is fishy to me. Note: I could be completely wrong about this whole situation, but something about this scam screams extremely fishy to me. The fact that your IP address was assigned by the same location under the same provider AND the IP address is not the same is putting up red flags to me. Most people (assuming you have a similar set up) have a router which has a DNS server, which would mean your IP addresses would be the SAME if one were to indeed log onto your unprotected wifi. This doesn't add up to me. AFAIK, the yahoo address you posted was also the one registered with. Another thing that doesn't add up to me is: Someone logged onto your wifi. OK, I can BELIEVE that much. How the heck did they know your yahoo ID? Basically, I read this as: You suspect a hacker with a packet sniffer intercepted your plain text screen name and abused it... or... one of your friends is the culprit. If this is the case, it's not anyone's fault but yours. OR... You have a direct connection (if not being the same person) as htazn. To Hondasteve: I'm glad it seems you're getting your frames back. I am wondering/worried if flamekid is the same person as htazn. I also wonder if he were to use this sending frames randomly across the continent as a cover, and then sending frames to himself in the end and trying to keep them. If this IS the case, it sounds like we're close (thanks to good snooping around on honda steve's part) and the kid is getting scared. I do hope you pursue the suspect either way (by contacting local police in his area). Response to "TW again:" This isn't a security fault, per se. The same computer will have the same IP and same provider, and especially the same MAC unless the user were to browse via proxy and/or use a spoofer. I'm not sure where you're getting your information.... It isn't surefire, but there is ways of telling (relatively well) who is logging on using more than one ID, it's a bit of a pain in the butt, though. To be honest, the more I read this post, the more fishy it sounds to me. For instance: why are you so interested in helping everyone else that has "lost" something? It seems to me that you have no vested interest in this situation besides being banned, and here you are ready to "move on" anyways... If you do need to contact someone about being banned, there is a link at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. To all those who were scammed: feel free to contact this guy, but PROCEED WITH CAUTION. Something smells funny to me. Note: I work in an IT department currently, and some of his story just isn't adding up.

That was my first time setting up a wireless connection. I didn't know that you could add encryption by going to 192.168.0.1. I had no idea how to manage my network until now.
The person that logged into my wifi might be someone who knows me personally. Be it an angry friend or a stranger with info on me. I did use the link at the bottom to contact someone but no response so far. I want to help because what else could I do? Stay quite and keep hondasteve frames? note: I'm really surprised you haven't banned this id yet. You banned the other one why not this one? Is it because you want to give me a chance to explain? If so, thank you. |

I do not post often on here but I came across this thread because I am buying a stringer from an individual and wanted to know what sort of people are out there.
I noticed Honda that you said you would do some legwork in OKC, well it just so happens I will be there next weekend for a tennis tourney. I could check some stuff out for you if need be just let me know, only live about an hour away. This sucks for all involved, maybe I can do a little something to help. Feel free to email me at don.lynam @ gmail.com |
