darn it, i don't know why darren grunow keeps getting away with this..he's a known troll, the rcmp would certainly investigage him if someone provided the info to them, we know he lives in edmonton, alberta, canada..i'm almost tempted to do a deal and get ripped off by him so i can charge his a$$.

time i think to add this guy..goes by the name of Lokdawg at anands, lokey_cpu at amdmb.com..had 22 pos heatware evals until now but is not coming through on at least 2 deals...see this thread..

http://www.amdforums.com/showthread.php ... ost1370288

he has been contacted by trollhunters promptly (thank you tony and bigc) and has a for sale thread at anands locked pending investigation. he is talking to at least one of the parties, but keeps giving excuses for not coming up with and sending all funds owed.

Checking into him now.

thank you, sir.

update- anands appears to have stickied due to increased concerns. blade, if you had anything to do with this, thank you very much

for anyone else reading this, i can't stress enough that the holiday season is the worst time of the year for dishonest traders to come out. so many more people are looking for xmas money/gifts and it's a time of year requiring extreme dilligence, caution and common sense.

blade, he has/does trade at hardforum under the name Lokdawg as well..his last for sale post update there was on nov .27th...as far as i know, hardforum has not been alerted yet?

blade · Post by **blade** » Mon Dec 16, 2002 10:40 pm

hardforum banned us all, you must of forgotten that.

Therefore we have zero communication. The members were warned that we'd not be able to assist there.

I feel for any innocent members there who may get taken, but there is nothing we can do thanks to the gay happy banning mod who initially banned heat23 for a simple missunderstanding.

ahhhh..that's right.sorry, i forgot

well, i don't really care if i get banned, so i'll post a note there..maybe the mods will miss it

Is a jerk of the FIRST degree.

He sent me a n64 that arrived messed up where 6-8 of the game would not work. I sent it back once and he refused it. I sent it again and he said that it worked magically...

Fast forwarda few weeks and I find out that he sent it out again and it suprise didn't work......

He emailed me cursing at me and tried to slam me on the [H]ard forum about it as well.....

STAY AWAY FROM HIM!

I just regestered here after reading this list of people. This guy--

Daves, Justin aka Rippin, RaZor, HotRoder2000, BoNeZ, iamanewman, BlinkMan, Shredder or JDaves(and many others). Lives in Canon, Georgia and may have an address in Hartwell. At least 4 people are out because of him. Makes evals for himself using his other aliases.
Here is some more info thanks to anands mod from this thread..
http://forums.anandtech.com/arcmess...threadid=308938
here is his website and forum
http://www.inside-hardware.net/ and at his forum Blade2077, ShyGuy, ebduncan and RaZoR(one of jdaves aliases) are listed as mods. Beware of those as they are banned from anands and now here too.
There may have been some fallout between the gathering of trolls at the inside hardware site as jdaves now backs a site at [url]http://www.athlonplanet.com,[/url] this is still the same troll as has been identified before.
*has yet another site http://www.hardwarepub.com

*as of 8/23/02 is screwing over many on ocp. Is using this info and others heatware evals:

Eniac Hardware
660 Old Hendry's Church Rd
Canon GA, 30520

He live 15 minutes away from me. I looked his name up in the phone book and it wasnt there. BUT, under the same address you have listed there is a John R Daves. Phone number is (706)376-1995 .

Hope this can help some people who have been scammed by this person.
