OK--We're closing in on him! Just got a call from the east coast from one of my contacts that's an Old Gas member. He has a friend that has been screwed over by this Rob Woolley character, and he's been in pretty close contact with him.
I don't know how the guy can keep it all straight! Seems that he has been screwing people for a while now and on several different sites! I can't imagine as to how many thousands of dollars are involved? I sure hope we're able to do something about it! I'll keep you all posted as the information comes in!

Every day brings us closer to this bandit. If you have anything else or know of anyone else that has been scammed by this man, please notify either myself or Swabby.

I filed a report with my local sheriff yesterday and from there he sends it to the state crime bureau and they will in turn get in touch with the Santa Clara sheriffs office? I wonder if this will really work, or are these internet criminals going to get away with it?
I mailed my report to all the other fellows involved and asked them to file with their respective sheriffs also. Maybe some of this will find its way to the proper spot?

Just got a call from a man in California that lost $1400. He lives about 5 hours from this Rob Woolley and is interested in paying him a visit. His words to me were "I'm not going away".
He was able to access this information by googling Mr. Woolley's phone number and came up with this thread! Rob Woolley 408-981-6280 Best part is that he sent him a personal check that had to be cashed at a Chase bank and he would have had to present identification and was photographed! We are getting so much closer to finding Mr. Woolley that I actually have hopes! I only pray that we can stop him from harming any more unsuspecting victims!

Just got an email from a man in Toronto and he was scammed for $600 by Rob Woolley! I guess the Canadians are not immune to this fellow either! I'm sending him all the information that I have and he has supposedly filed a fraud case with the San Jose Police Department.
Someghow this has got to get into the right hands! If you google his phone number, there are all kinds of for sale listings for this crook! It also comes up with this thread that has been warning everyone!
ONE STEP CLOSER!

HOPEFULLY the local Police get to him before the News Media & gives him a chance to Flee.

Just got a call from San Jose, California and the beer can collectors out there are VERY aware of Mr Rob Woolley! Seems he may have a criminal record and a possible habit to support! The beer can collectors are all aware of him and he can't find any of them to victimize anymore.
The caller was very supportive of the action we've taken and encouraged us to keep pushing to get the authorities to apprehend this guy! Seems that hes avoided the law to this point by only doing small deals that won't get the authorities excited.
We need to get his name onto the internet every chance we get, and maybe, just maybe we'll catch up with him!

I thought that name sounded familiar. He tried to get me for 1800. using high end beer cans as bait over the winter.

I don't understand your statement here. If you send me a check from X bank. I can take that to my bank Y and cash it with no ID. As long as my funds cover your check...

Making me sick reading this as I too am a victim of this guy. I sent him 1000 for two coca-cola items. A clock and light up sign. He cashed my cashiers check I sent him to his po box. I talked to last Thursday and he said he was surprised I didn't get my items yet. I then asked for shipping info and he said it went out on greyhound. 6 days went by of me calling texting and emailing and nothing. However today he texted me back saying my items were on there way and should be here soon. So I was feeling much better till a guy on the soda machines board read my dilemma and told me about you guys talking about this. Now I'm sick again. I'll send ken my info or may just call you. Thanks. I think. I'll keep you posted.

Ok, The guy has not changed his phone number and I never did get may items that I where told where going to be here this weekend.

I have filed a complaint with the Post office as well as started to file a report with the police department, They actually have directed me the IC3 which is the Internet Crime Complaint Center and I'll be doing this report today.. They suggest that all who have been victimized by this guy to file with them.. the more the better..
Contact me for more information or go to www.ic3.gov

Lets go after this guy!

...has anyone contacted the FBI?

http://www.fbi.gov/

...it's federal if it went across state lines, right? the FBI's website indicates that cyber crimes are under their purview...


Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...
