Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / September 2007Thomas Shannon
Just wondering if anyone here has been scammed by Thomas (Dell) Shannon? He took payments from several people off of Ebay and never sent items. He's in Iowa. Federal Mail Fraud charges are being filed against him by several people and all information would be appreciated. MJC maybe try sending the guy a letter. There is a lot of frauds happening to people where the ebay account are taken over by third parties.. There is always two sides to a story, maybe you have already got his side of it, IMHO > Just wondering if anyone here has been scammed by Thomas (Dell) Shannon? > He took payments from several people off of Ebay and never sent items. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > MJC Nope, this is a real scam(s) done by Thomas Shannon. He actually claimed that his Ebay account WAS hacked in the beginning, but THAT was the lie to buy him more time and he continued scamming people. His correct address and phone number has been verified, and one of the victims even found Shannons flying club website where Shannon is the club webmaster and club president (of all things!), and Shannon yanked the site as soon as the first of several Mail Fraud complaints were filed against him as we begin closing in on him. He's a real crook, and several of us are getting together with as much coordinated information as possible to make a Federal charge of Mail Fraud stick. He's already written me back bragging that no one will do anything to him (that's the "other side of the story" you are referring to). He was banned by Ebay and he also scammed some people off of RCU where he was quickly banned as well. There are a few of us who are going to do our best to prove him wrong and we are simply trying to see if anyone else has been robbed by him. The Feds will pay more attention to him if there are multiple, unrelated, Mail Fraud complaints. MJC > maybe try sending the guy a letter.

I called a couple of weeks ago because I mailed a postal money order to a post office box and hoped there was just a simple misunderstanding. I was told by the gal that answered the phone that this was the address and phone number of his parents. Shannon, Tom & Robin 2552 130th Ave Murray, IA 50174-8086 (641) 447-2909 If you have something different, please share. If you don't have it, holler and I will give you the number of the postal investigators. I am sure that lots and lots of complaints will cause a stir. > Nope, this is a real scam(s) done by Thomas Shannon.

How would you like someone posting your parents info on the net ? Like I said I have an open mind and I have had my share of bad dealings, and in most cases a simple letter sent to the party cleared things up. surely would be easier than all this chatter and what not thats going on here. > A month ago he claimed to be shipping the plane I sent him money for. I > called a couple of weeks ago because I mailed a postal money order to a post [quoted text clipped - 59 lines] > > > > > > > > MJC Seems to me that he involved his parents in his dealings. That may be a good thing as they may have some influence in him making good on his deals. At least he has someone to deal with. Everything had been going rather well for a year or so. Then the company took my money, kept promising delivery, then just up and disappeared.

I have not been following this thread all that closely, but I believed that the mention was here: Message-ID: <MskNc.16500$mL5.6135@newsread1.news.pas.earthlink.net> In re-reading the post, I see where it could also be information gathered from another source. Perhaps Mr. 6 o'clock will clarify. In any event, Mr. Shannon was unwise to leave a trail that led so easily back to his parents. >> "tailfeathers" <yahoo@.com> posted message >> ID<ce6dsm$feq$1@news.netins.net>on Tue, 27 Jul 2004 15:28:06 -0500 [quoted text clipped - 140 lines] >> >> > > > > > >> >> > > > > > MJC Signature"you use diversion and name calling."Paul McIntosh "twat!"Paul McIntosh "Gee, just like Shrub?"Paul McIntosh "You have your head so up a hole that you can't see the world in front of you."Paul McIntosh "...blind following of a group of crazy people."Paul McIntosh "No, YOU are a waste of time."Paul McIntosh "YOU linked to it you dipshit!"Paul McIntosh "It was the link to the ACTUAL report, dipshit."Paul McIntosh "You are a dope."Paul McIntosh "For the dense among you"Paul McIntosh "What the F**k is he saying"Paul McIntosh > "tailfeathers" <yahoo@.com> posted message > ID<ce6itp$iq6$1@news.netins.net>on Tue, 27 Jul 2004 16:54:02 -0500 [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > any event, Mr. Shannon was unwise to leave a trail that led so easily > back to his parents. He is not the only one to do so in this particular forum. Curt Easterbrook did the same thing....... then again, he may have also posted as his parents to divert attention from his dishonesty. Robar1 By giving Six_O'Clock_High their phone number when he had money orders delivered. If I gave out my parent's phone number as a contact phone after screwing someone, I am SURE they would deal with me (even though they are both in their 80's ;^). -- Paul McIntosh http://www.rc-bearings.com > how did he involve his parents ? > [quoted text clipped - 116 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > MJC I must have missed that, because what I read was when he called the post office the lady gave the info not Thomas. > By giving Six_O'Clock_High their phone number when he had money orders > delivered.

Give me a number, I'll call them while I am there :-) Their number just rang the last time I tried. Their fax was still hooked up but they didn't respond to a couple of faxes I sent. Here are their numbers. I'll certainly give a good reward if the products suddenly show up! PHONE:86-591-3370667 FAX:86-591-3326146 -- Paul McIntosh http://www.rc-bearings.com > > Anyone have any knowledge of Fuzhou Wings Model Fitting Company? > Sounds like it's in China. Give me a number, I'll call them while I am > there :-) A couple of fast thoughts for you to contemplate. I clearly thought about all those issues BEFORE that PUBLICLY AVAILABLE information was posted. In short, I am not sure I agree with you at all since the person who answered the phone made the claim. That pretty well disposes with the relative concerns you imply. Second point is that my spouse's work information, my name, address, phone number and other details have been posted. Yes, I was mad as heck. The issue here is to verify that we are all dealing with the same information. I understand that you think we should all bend over and hand out Vasoline to those who would hide when the stiff us, but that dog simply does not hunt - here or elsewhere. > I really must say, that in all trying to revover what ever it is you lost, > its really not appropriate to post this kind of information on the internet.

SignatureJim in NC > Wish I would have found this thread earlier. The prick got me for a > Saito engine. Someday someone will catch up with him. He took my money and never sent the aircraft. Did you send him an engine or did you send him money for the engine and not get it? Good luck, |
