I just went to BE THAT GUY, and I can't find the posts now...were they taken down? Did someone beat me to it?
 
BE THAT GUY.

The only way things will change with him is if more people start speaking louder and more often than he does over there. That's how information warfare works.

Sometimes you gotta be that asshole. And some people will hate you for it. But if you believe in something, stand up for it.
I feel the same way with tog be the asshole call them out. Obviously i see Travis renoylds in the same camp both will take your money and ship someday with enough bitching.
 
If you have bought something from him on Facebook or Etsy, be relentless. I gave it 4-6 weeks, and I went after it. On Facebook, post directly to his wall instead of private messages. This pokes the hornets nest, and other buyers that have paid him, also see it, and will do the same thing. I just say, "Hey Travis, I sent you a couple of messages about my purchase…please get back with me." Starting there usually got me a response within a day or two.

Best of luck to all of you…I was a nervous wreck through most of it.

FB sounds like fun place. Not my idea of fun, but maybe fun for others. LOL

So you are still buying stuff from Adam Judd the criminal who has been stealing from us since RGVAC?

Wow...
 
I can't find it now so they either blocked me or or the admin pulled it. I did manage to post a comment on one pointing to this thread and saying 'buyer beware'.
That's how he operates. He either has an account here or has some minion tell him about what we post about him and he will block you on Facebook. He blocked me and ever sense I can not see any facebook post he is a part of. All I did was post here a wile back when he started selling Red Baron, Battlezone centering bellows and for that he banned me .

Yep I actually got blocked too today. Hahahaha to funny …

KLOV isn't "private" he can read most of the forums without an account.

How does your username here link to facebook?
 
I can't see any of his posts on FB...he blocked me.

I have had admins of FB groups PM me that 'I can't prove it', etc.. People are generally too lazy to click and link and research at all who he is.

So, who on FB has met him and person and found that he looked just like his FB photo? No one??
 
I think the guy started off as legit and really loves the hobby, but got into gambling or drug addictions and ripped off everybody starting about then, ever since that time he's been wanting to get back into the hobby but he screwed over literally hundreds of people and will likely do it again as soon as he gets in a bad spot.

I don't think he actively was trying to screw people over at first, I think in his mind he believes he won't do it again, LOL So I think he's selling parts thinking oh I'm going to do it right this time, but as soon as he starts back on the drugs or the gambling or whatever it was he'll screw everybody over again.

When he was posting the complete star wars cockpits he knew for a fact, at that time, that there's no way he could pull that off so by that time he was actively trying to defraud people.

Nothing against you of course, but NO. I don't think anyone can point back to a time where he was a legit collector, transparent identity, etc.. He scammed people back on rec.games.video.arcade.collecting newsgroup under his wife's account Krazykatt or something. Sold a ton of boards, things wouldn't arrive, making it right, people screwed.. that was in late 90s or early 2000s I think.

can you post a link to his profile? I can't access it. I can't find his name. Somehow it is blocked from me being able to see it?

I'd imagine he would have blocked anyone who is a mod on here. It's Travis Reynolds on FB.

post from rgvac from July 2000! That's 21yrs ago!!!

I just found out much more information about Krazykatt (aka Jan Johnson) and
her husband Adam Judd. I called Corona information and got all the Judds in
the area. I finally found Sarah and Thomas with a phone number of 909 371
8351. I called the number and talked with Sarah who is Adam's sister in-law.
I told her everything I have read on the newsgroup as well as relating my
personal experience with "The Judds". She expressed disbelief and shock and
sounded like a nice lady. She confirmed that Adam is a dealer of video game
equipment and lives on Cottage Drive with his wife Jan Johnson. Boys and
girls it is time to close the books on these people. We need to call the
local police out there and get them to have a straight talk with these
idiots. I was personally bilked out of $85 and I am not going to take it
anymore. Maybe some of you guys should call Sarah and relate your losses to
her. Adam's brother Thomas might help to bail him out of this mess and it
will keep me from sounding like the only one who got stung. If I don't get
my money or my working (stress the working) Millipede board by this Friday I
will call the local police out there as well as send in the mail fraud
report I received from my local postal inspector with Jan and Adam's names
on it. I am e-mailing a copy of this to krazykatt as well as fair warning.
We now know exactly who and where you are.
 
Why has this guy concentrated on Arcade Schemes for the past twenty years? I can get you know, dealin' dope in one county and moving on after trouble with the locals, but your Arcade pool isn't going to have a clean slate of users or even a constant demand of new product. Like it seems baffling to me that doing a Paperboy bait and switch would be a viable ongoing con as it were

Some people are part of the "community" until it comes down to finding a rare/sought after part. Then they're willing to forego the community to satisfy their own restoration desires.

He'll fulfill a few orders, those first few orderers talk him up, more people order. Those new orderers believe all the historical BS is in the past (look! new orders are being fulfilled!), disbelieve the history completely (those KLOV meanies just don't like FB collectors!), or think it won't impact them or are willing to gamble that they'll be one of the folks that actual get their parts (me > us). More people order, orders eventually stop going out, while money keeps going in to Mr. Scumbag. This repeats until the heat gets too hot.

Then he pops up selling in a new forum/marketplace under a new name... or he stays on the same forum under a new name claiming he bought the remaining stock, not knowing its history, and is just trying to recoup his investment.

RGVAC --> KLOV / BYOAC --> Etsy/FB --> ??

Rinse/repeat, scam keeps going (and probably doesn't grow to the point where actual police involvement takes him down permanently).

Every time someone posts something about RAM Controls, it's an advertisement for this guy. Let the search engines index it and then poof Joe Noob's search for paperboy handlebars leads you here, then to him on FB or etsy.
