- This is for those of you who missed it the first time. Ethan Platt
- basically offered to buy stuff and then never paid. There were at
- least ten of us. This is only a list of those that I could get to come
- forward, or who noticed the thread aginst Ethan Platt. I'll put my story
- up one more time though for those interested.

- Do not send anything to this individual. If you have already sent it,
- try to call UPS to cancel shipment and return it to you.
- About two months ago I was offering Space Ace for sale for $15.
- He replied to my add offering to pay $25 if I would ship it
- immediately. The extra money was so that he would get it faster he
- said. He told me that he would send out a money order the next day.
- Almost three months later I have received nothing. I have been in
- contact with him and he maintains he never received it. About two
- weeks ago I posted something similar to this post in this group and he
- called me to ask why I was doing what I was doing, and pleading his
- case. I must admit he was friendly and I beleived him, but now I
- don't. I have received email from about 8 people now telling me that
- they all have had problems with Ethan Platt aka Chad Walters. I would
- not deal with this individual. His scam seems to be offering more
- money than you ask, then saying he never got it, or refusing COD and
- then asking you to send it regular post, and after all that, he makes
- a nice telephone call to you explaining how he has received nothing in
- the mail. Detailed posts to follow.

- After this fiasco, I have seen a post by an individual going by the name
- Kent Penter who claimed that Ethan Platt was not really a crook and told a
- long story of how he visited the police station and EP's house and found
- out that it was a criminal neighbour of Platt's Doug Weathers who was
- doing all the stealin, adnd who had been arrested. I checked with the
- authorities and they had heard nothing about this. I suspect that Kent
- Penter was actually Ethan Platt up to his old tricks. It was a fairly
- transparent attempt. In any event there you all go. Be wary of this guy.
- He sounds like he is in his mid to late 30's. He has a british accent,
- which upon refeltion I do not know if it is genuine. Just watch out...he
- is out there...
