I am one of the fm\'ers who was seriously scammed by this son-of-a-bitch (for much $$$) a few months ago. FWIW, his gmail address (though I doubt he is still using it) is [email protected]. Be VERY careful that who you are dealing with is the REAL FM member. I would suggest a phone call and some probing questions are in order for a larger purchase. As well, I have taken to asking for photos of actual items shown beside a current newspaper before I even begin any transaction.
In my case this criminal hacked into the username of a respected FM member with good feedback. I also \"googled the crap out of him\" and by all accounts, based on the user name he was a legit photographer. However, that doesn\'t help if the person you are googling isn\'t the actual person whose username was hacked. Also, I am NOT convinced that the perpetrator who ripped me off was located in Canada. He made it appear that he was, but nowadays it is possible to make it look like you are located anywhere you want.
