Any update this week Steph? Can I assist in any way?

As posted above, I don't want to tip my hand by offering a play-by-play of what I doing,
but things ARE happening in the back-ground.

I did get alot of PMs from people offering financial assistance for legal costs, (thank-you)
and PMs from other folks who are owed stuff/money, but like me,
did not want to be on the on-line spreadsheet.

The two things I'm still looking for are people who have actually met Dave
(recently or in the Past) or who are "local" to him.

I'm also still looking for help in finding legal representation, or help from
someone in the legal profession who can offer advice one a few issues.

Lastly, I would urge people who have not filed a claim with CA Dept of Justice to do so.

I know many who have already (thank-you),
...but the more the merrier...

That's it for now.

I'll try to post with regular updates at least weekly.

Thanks,
Steph
 
So I got a letter from the CA attorney generals office. The address I provided they couldnt find him at.. but they indicate they will keep everything on file for a future case.

Has anyone contacted the attorney general office to ensure they are aware these complaints should be consolidated together?

For instance they list the case against "R.A.M. Controls" in their letter.. I didnt spell it that way in the complaint. I just want to make sure different permutations of the name/address/phone isnt setting up dozens of seperate minor issues that wont amount to a hill of beans and get ignored.
 
unfortunately me too

I just learned of this thread. Please add me to the list to the tune of $3,000. That is, I paid $1,500 for a $3,000 credit during the 2-for-1 program.

Dave acknowledged my debt and then went MIA.

Steph: I'm a trial attorney and I'd like to talk to you. Please e-mail me so we can discuss.
 
Dirty little Dave Adams

Steph,

Thank-you for taking the lead on this and going after THE BIGGEST con on KLOV. Hats off to you!

I will file with the CA. dept of Justice now and PM you any and all correspondence I have had with Dave, cash totals and any other info you may need from me. Let's all RAM this case right up Mr. Dave Adams ass !!!!!!!

I would think that means you need to be added to the tune of $1500.

I really don't think so. Dave sold a 2x credit that he honored for some people. He pulled $1500 out of his pocket, but is getting 0% and $0 for his trouble. It was basically a loan in the end... Now it needs to be paid back. He technically doesn't owe him $3000 in cash though, but $3000 in ram products. Dave forking over $1500 cash would not settle it unless the buyer wanted to accept it.
 
I was speaking in terms of getting his money back. Sure, if he is going to be settled up using RAM products, he better get $3000 worth. That is what he paid for. In terms of getting his money back, he is owed $1500. Sure you could throw interest in there, but nobody has even really mentioned interest. And I am sure that pretty much anybody on here would be happy to get their money back without interest. Even if you add interest you will be wayyyyyyyyyy closer to $1500 than $3000.

Either way, I hope he and everyone else get their money back.
 
Ok, things are moving along on the legal front,
but I now need EVERYONE's input.

The on-line spreadsheet is a great starting point
to track who is owed something by Dave,
but in order to have more legal weight,
I'm told I need to have location information of where people live,
most notably the State (...and/or country).

I won't get into the specific details,
but having a geographical mapping of where
victims are located has some legal bearing.

NOTE : I will NOT make this personal information public.
I will keep only to myself for the purpose of
building a legal claim.

So I apologize to everyone who's already submitted
this information to on-line spreadsheet, but I need a bit more info.

To make it easier for "me" I've created a template in Excel
so that people can simply fill out and send to me via E-MAIL
at [email protected]

[ NB. I can not upload an Excel (.xls) attachment to this post,
so I had to rename it to .doc
After downloading it, change the .doc extension to .xls ]

Most columns have instructions in the comments
(little red corner tab of each heading)

Notes


*1 : If you were part of the 2-for-1 (50/50) deal,
say how much you gave, and what (if anything) you've received.

*2 : If you lent parts, provide a FAIR replacement value

*3 : If possible, provide proof of payment either by screen capture,
paypal confirmation number, etc...

*4 : There is a yes/no field asking if you would allow
an attorney to represent you if a civil suit is filed.


E-MAIL completed spreadsheet to me at [email protected]

I will compile the info and provide summarized results.

PM me if you have any questions.

I appreciate all the support and on-going help I've received in this matter.

Thanks,
Steph

Still looking for alot more people from the original spreadsheet to send me their info.

See the post at the top of page 4, and submit spreadsheet to me at

[email protected]


Thanks,
Steph
 
Steph,

I was ripped off a long time ago, back in 2006. I recovered some money back and lost a repro MH controller.

My name on that spreadsheet currently is for parts I insisted on COD for, which I never recieved. I am also in the UK so I guess that would confuse your case/lawsuit/whatever you call it in the USA.

This issue has lost some steam on the Forum,
but not behind the scenes,
so I wanted to post an update and keep the topic "fresh"..

---

A couple of major items have happened since my last post.

1- I found legal representation willing to help our cause
2- I have "some" credible information on Dave's situation


---

Without wanting to reveal too much,
I have enlisted the help of a US-based lawyer
to explore our options for a multi-plaintiff civil suit.

Because the fraud took place all over the US, and other countries,
a civil case does not necessarily have to take place in California.

This is why it is important to know the geographical location of ALL of the victims,
as well as the amount of money involved.

So far, only 6-7 people have provided me with this information,
while there is nearly 60 names on the on-line spreadsheet.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc...oamlQZldvRTQwYXc&hl=en&authkey=CPDFuqsL#gid=0

As per my previous post ( top of this page [4] ),
I would ask people to fill out the template I provided,
and mail it to me at [email protected].

The higher the Fraud amount, the stronger the civil case.

So please get that to me ASAP.


---

In parallel to the civil suit, I have also received somewhat credible information
on Dave's situation.

I'm told that his fall from grace is due to failed business ventures,
and not some form of addiction. He got into some cash-flow problems
and started to "rob Peter to pay Paul" (read ponzi scheme...)
and the whole house of cards imploded when everyone started asking for refunds.


I'm also told that he rented the property at 992 Randall Ranch Rd,
but the true owner of the house filed for bankruptcy and the bank
fore-closed on the property, forcibly evicting Dave .

(...I'm not sure how much of that is true, but I know that some people
verified that he lived there a few months ago, and that the house
is now is now empty and awaiting fore-closure. )

I'm told that Dave is now of "no fixed address" and much of his
contact information is longer valid ( except for his cell phone number...)

My "source" (...who is NOT a KLOVER by the way... ) says he's known Dave for 20 years,
and claims that Dave is "trying" to make things right,
but it will take some time for him to get back on his feet...


---

All this is fine and dandy, but it's not going to slow me down in my legal challenge.

I won't stop until I get every last cent that's owed to me,
and will push for the same for everyone else involved.


---

So to recap ..

1- File a Claim with the CA DoJ if you have not done so already

CA Dept of Justice: http://tinyurl.com/2gkbw7

US Dept of Justice: http://www.justice.gov/criminal/fraud/



2- Send me details of your loss, via the spreadsheet template I provided in the post above.

[ NB. I can not upload an Excel (.xls) attachment to this post,
so I had to rename it to .doc
After downloading it, change the .doc extension to .xls ]

I think Tom made the spreadsheet. Maybe he can get you in contact with all the people on it?

Yah, that was my next step...

Contact the "keeper" of the spreadsheet,
and extract as much info as I can,
and then contact each person individually for specific info,

I would ask the mods if you could post your plee for more info in the
general section. Then you should get a response.

They only people reading these threads are the ones subscribed to them.
Unfortunately this has been basically buried by putting it this subsection.
 
I guess, add me..............

Posting here for the record.

I was hoping to avoid this too. On June 3, 2010 I ordered a Star Wars Cockpit for $2495 and after talking to him was assured that they were nearly completed. I spoke to the company that was supposedly building the new vector monitor tubes and replacement parts for him in Des Moines only to find out that they were shutting their doors for good. Now I can't get RAM Controls to respond to any emails. Glad I waited to order the rest of the stuff I wanted, but I won't accept a loss. This sucks because of what this company supposedly has to offer the community, and I could use a lot of their products yet. I even offered to take in-stock products I could use in trade or partial trade. I'm still going to talk with my attorney, and will most likely file the claims after doing so.
