> Anyhoo,
> here is the continuing saga of the MAN truck scam on E-Bay.
> After a LOT of research, I have a couple of leads on the scammer.
> His real name is, of course, not Matthew Barry. It is most likely Dimitru
> Bogdan, or at least, that's the ID that he carries.

> He is a Romanian immigrant living in Chicago.
> He did not attend high school in the US.
> He will ship the truck to my home address:
> John Fickdich
> 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
> Washington D.C. 20500
> The $5,000 will cover the cost of the truck and also the shipping and
> insurance.
> He hangs out in a copy shop in a large mall in Chicago on the 'Magnificent
> Mile'. 800 N Michigan Ave.
> He picks up the faxed receipt of the moneygram in the copy shop, goes to
the
> nearest moneygram office and cashes it.
> On a tangent, another list member has been in contact with him.
> He (fake Matthew Barry) told the other list member that he was on vacation
> in Greece with his family and he even supplied a contact telephone number
in
> Greece.
> I called the number in Greece and spoke to Matthew. For someone with a
name
> of Matthew Barry, he sure sounded Greek to me.
> Well, Matthew told me to send the $5,000 to a bank in Florida. He will
> e-mail me with the details.
> Okay Matthew, please hurry, I want that truck!
> So, List, that's as far as I got.
> Now I need your help.
> There are 27 Bogdan's listed in the white pages for Chicago, none of them
> are called Dimitru.
> The FAX number 1-877-471-1355 is his pick up point.
> Anybody on the list know how to get the name and address of that copy shop
> where the FAX machine is located?
> Anybody know how to locate Dimitru Bogdan living in Chicago?

> As always, any and all help is appreciated,
> -Sarge
