| I believe that 98% of people calling themselves traders are operating in good faith. So why does this page exist? Because of the other two percent. Yes, it sucks there has to be a page like this. But if you're about to trade with one of these rip-off artists, aren't you glad you saw this first? | The people listed here entered into a "contract" when they agreed to trade CDRs with me. These individuals received the music I agreed to send, but failed to uphold their ends of the deal. As far as I'm concerned, that's the same as stealing from me (not to mention mail fraud). |

Bad Trader!
Tom Fitzgibbons 85 Ridgewood Lane #23 Gardner, MA 01440 [email protected]
I not sure I should've sent Tom 13 discs. He didn't respond to my emails in a timely manner, and
stuff like that tends to give me a bad feeling about someone. I've subsequently been contacted by
people I know and trust who say he's burned them for 25 and 30 discs each. |
Nevertheless, 12 hours after I posted his name here, I received the email you see to the right. From the sound of it, all Tom had to do was go to the post office and resend this supposed package that was "returned for insufficient postage." It's TWO MONTHS later, and I haven't received the discs yet! Tom is the primary reason I don't trade with people I don't know anymore. If you send me an email and I ignore it, you have Tom to thank. You might wanna drop him an note, and let him know what a bastard he is...
----- Original Message ----- | From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, February 29, 2004 1:49 PM Subject: (no subject) Greg, The discs I had sent out last week were returned for insufficient postage. The USPS apparently doesn't know how to weigh packages? Anyway, I must go to the post office again and resend them. I apologize for the delay. Also, once you get these discs I want to send you 4-6 discs additional of shows you may want to make up for this situation. Thanks. Tom P.S. I anticipate having the Boston show from Friday by the end of this week at the latest.

| Unfortunately, there are a number of known, unethical people posing as traders for the sole purpose of getting free music. They initiate trades they have no intention of honoring and join trading groups in order to steal vines and weeds. |
Fortunately, there's a resource where these bad people are being outted. You may want to join the Yahoo group listed below to protect yourself from having to deal with these thieves. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/badtraders |
