We have reason to suspect (we'll leave it as gently as this) that a certain principal of Michigan Classic Arcade (or someone in the same room) attempted to join the forums with an anonymous signup today, and then wrote to us to complain when he discovered our new signup policies (referral or donation needed) discouraged anonymous signups.

Within said complaint, this person (we believe) misrepresented themselves as the operator of a large and successful forum system (who wanted to give us advise that disallowing anon signups was costing us most of our traffic). Lucky for us, he isn't as bright as he thinks he is.

We had forgotten about this guy until today. Since he reminded us, we thought it was important to check this section and confirm that this business was mentioned here.

It is, but until the thread title 'Chuck Fitch'.

LOL. You gotta love it. I bet he was beyond pissed off when he tired to pull that shit again and he had to donate first. What a lump of shit.

GO AWAY.
 
Nice Work! I tried to add to your rep Mr. Admin so you would not have that single gray nut but alas your rep is disabled. :(
 
That tells you what kind of cheap bastard the guy is that he couldn't cough up a simple $2.00...

The forums are not run by the non-profit library and as we try to make clear on the 'how to gain posting access' section. A banned user could donate all he or she wanted to the non-profit but it doesn't change the fact that posting access here wouldn't be in the cards.

Today there is a posting on CL in Canton for a DK original Power Supply, I cant link it as I am on my phone, and I cant prove it (lack of hairy ape hand in pic) but I suspect it is probably Chuck Fitch...
I emailed about it from my spam account to see if I get a reply, so I will appologize in advance if this a legit sale from a member here. I just dont want anyone else to get sucked into this guys warped world.

I will report back when I get a reply

So I got an email back from the CL reply and it was NOT one of the adress i recognizee as being chuck fitch... I would not put it past him to start another email/paypal as the wording of his reply did sound similar. I asked if his PS would work for ALL nintendo cab and he replied that it would...(Popeye?)
If you are have any more known adress/paypal of his pm me and I will give you the one from todays reply as I dont want to jump the gun and would rather error on the safe side.
 
So with the help of another user of this forum, I can assure you that the CL post IS in fact Chuck Fitch! I would ceartainly stay far far away.
If the other user wants to chime in we wwould appreciate it, as I said this popped up on my phone and I havent been able to do much without my PC. Thanks for the help guys!
 
MCA has struck again ! This time he was banned over on the Coinopspace site posing as a "Dave Johnson" aka "Paul Gilbert" aka "Chuck Fitch" and a slew of other alias names and titles. Another person linked to MCA is a "DAZZ" here on KLOV.

I just wanted to give you all a heads up and beware of his shady selling practices. I know he is operating on Craigs list and eBay. He is trying to keep a low profile by not linking MCA to his ads or auctions. He'll list his CL ads either under the Canton MI or Dearborn MI, "USA" or just "MI" as city locations in the Detroit area. He has been known to attack people on You Tube for posted videos related to the arcade community. He'll offten hijack posts offering MCA services while endorsing himself under another alias name. Lately hes been laying low bulding confidence in people to get you to trust him under some other alias name. This is how he operates. Please take caution if you see the following emails durring a transaction, eBay seller tags or Craigs Listings.

MCA claimes on their site that they are a member of the BBB online reliability program. I have since contacted the BBB here in Michigan and spoke with a Marsha Peskin. She concluded that she couldnt find MCA in her system which means MCA has lied and is not apart of the BBB. She is looking into sending them a seize and desist letter and would like to hear from other people in the arcade community that have been taken for a ride with MCA. If members here have had bad dealings with MCA i urge you to call Marsha at the following number 248-799-0339 if you wish to file a complaint.
 
Im glad I seen this first. Have Been talking to him about his craigslist ad and monitor repair, kept insisting on 25 papal payment for a appointment to come check it out. As soon as I asked him if he had a shop that I could just bring it to he replied with "No, Go away", so I proceeded to call him a pos and to fuck off.

Pre this thread I found this guys ad for a pacman power conversion in Canton.

Emailed with a "I can pick it up" Im close.
Get a "I dont let just anyone stop by my house to pick stuff up, I only ship"

Well I drag it along. The guy is a jerk. says "go back to KLOV idiot" I didnt get the correlation until I logged in just today and was searching for some stuff and found this thread.

But yeah, scam.
