| BAD SELLERS AND AUCTIONEERS LIST |
| Gene Yates 8318 Gladstone St apt. B Juneau, AK 99801 |
| I participated in and won an auction conducted by Gene on e-Bay ( item # 543206935 ) in January of 2001. I sent him a postal money order in the amount of $66.07. I never received the cards. In May 2001 I filed mail fraud charges against him. The Postal Inspection Service is handling my claim. I just sent back the form they sent me, letting them know that my transaction is still unresolved. |
| MOST RECENT UPDATE: JULY 28, 2001 |
| Lynn Fogle ATLANTIC COAST COLLECTIBLES 249 Pennsylvania Ave Absecon, NJ 08201 - 1218 |
| On December 3, 2000 I sent Lynn Fogle ( owner of Atlantic Coast Collectibles ) $353.00 via PayPal for a case ( six boxes ) of Star Trek Mirror, Mirror. On Dec. 7th I received a message from Lynn saying PayPal didn't send her my address along with my payment. ( So I know she received payment ) She said she would send the cards as soon as I sent her my address. I immediately sent her my address. I sent Lynn messages on Dec. 20th & 22nd letting her know that I had not received the cards.( Anyone else I had ever bought cards from had them to me within a week of the release date.) In the meantime I had seen several messages on Decipher's trading board posted by people who were having trouble receiving products they had ordered from Lynn. Finally on Dec. 27th I received a message from Lynn. In it she stated that her computer had crashed. She said she had sent my cards shortly before Christmas. She didn't have any tracking information because of her computer crashing. ( How convenient for her! ) She said UPS was working on that for her. She also stated that if I had not received the cards by the end of the week to let her know and she would send a replacement. Of course the cards never arrived. On Dec. 31st I sent Lynn a message letting her know that the cards had not arrived. I told her that I was not surprised. I went on to tell her that I did not believe her computer had crashed and that she was stalling. I said I would prefer to have my money back since I had purchased several boxes of Mirror, Mirror in the meantime. I said I would wait until January 6, 2001 and if I had not received my money back or the case of cards I would file mail fraud charges against her. She never replied. I did business with her because we had traded cards and because she was a member of GAB. I have since been in contact with at least 12 other people who are having problems with Lynn. We were considering filing a law suit but found out that it would be too expensive. Here are the steps I have taken: I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau I have filed mail fraud charges against her with the US Postal Inspection Service I filed a complaint against her with the New Jersey State Attorney General's Office The complaint I sent to the State of New Jersey is being handled by the Division Of Consumer Affairs. I have received a letter from the person they have assigned to handle my complaint and he has sent Lynn a letter. I hope he doesn't hold his breath waiting for a response from her! From the information I have collected I see a very definite pattern. Lynn is the cosumate con artist!. She has been involved in shady dealings on e-Bay also. I believe her husband is also invovlved. She always has an excuse and doesn't follow through on her promises. |
| IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING DEALING WITH LYNN FOGLE PLEASE THINK TWICE. YOU WILL BE LETTING YOURSELF IN FOR A LOT OF GRIEF IF YOU BUY FROM HER. THERE ARE LOTS OF REPUTABLE DEALERS OUT THERE. GETTING A REALLY CHEAP PRICE FOR PRODUCT DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN YOU'RE GETTING A GREAT DEAL!!!! |
