Subject: [MOPO] The Sad Story
continues
So, I take it this means that Eugene did not take Donnie up on his public
offer to provide $500 worth of shipping costs so Eugene could immediately
return the posters he is holding hostage? That's a shame. If he had, he might
have salvaged something of his reputation and over time built back his
business in this field. But who are we kidding here? Eugene has stolen these
posters, and the money people sent his for the backing and restoration. If at
some point he returns some of what he has taken, it will only be because he
has been forced to, just as any thief whom the authorities or courts manage to
get hold off is forced to return all or part of the money they have
stolen.
I was going to suggest everyone go to eBay and file complaints against
him en masse, but Eugene has resigned from eBay, apparently sometime at the
end of October (at least under his old user name of "linenback").
If anyone sees any auctions for the type of services Eugene claimed to
provide in the past on eBay under a new name, please let us know. Just like
Joe DePrenda, I expect Eugene Hughes to pop back up on eBay at some point
when he feels the heat has died down.
What is shocking is that his website is STILL operational at
http://www.linenback.com -- if
someone who knows how can find out the name of the hosting service that
is hosting is website and publish it to this list, people could start
emailing his hosting company with a bunch of complaint. Many hosting companies
do not want to be involved with someone committing fraud and theft.
Obviously, all the good-hearted people who waited so patiently would
have been better off to be not quite so forgiving and generous as they
were during the last 6 to 9 months. If a community complaint campaign to eBay
by not only those directly involved, but those concerned with the fraud he was
perpetrating had been launched way back then -- all the negative feedback, and
the outside possibility that eBay might have shut him down back then in the
face of a barrage of complaints, might have saved the people who continued
to purchase his eBay come-ons. As it was, as far as Ebay was concerned,
Eugene received only 1 negative feedback during the last 6 months!
And I'm not trying to exploit the situation -- but I would like to remind
people than when one of the sellers on
www.MoviePosterBid.com had failed to
deliver posters that were paid for and the 30-day mark was approaching, we
urged the victims to file PayPal complaints, suspended the seller from our
auction site, and went public on MOPO and Style B with details of the
situation. Stuff like this has to be done, folks, as painful as it is
sometimes. There are probably some sellers who decided they would never list
on MoviePosterBid because I took such public action. That's their
decision and I'll just have to live with it, but MPB is not going to
contribute to this growing fraud situation by sitting back quietly and letting
a problem on our auction site continue for months or years before doing
anything about it.
This is why places like MOPO and Style B are so important -- and why it
is kind of self-defeating for people like Ed Flood to unsubscribe -- because
where else are you going to be alerted when something like this is happening?
And we all know by now that it happens too often. You can't rely on the
feedback system of eBay to warn you, that's for sure.
MOST IMPORTANT: There are still a lot of people who are having a problem
(one approaching 30 days old), that they have earnestly tried to resolve and
cannot. Most of these folks still seem to be shy about posting the details
of such problems to MOPO and Style B. I hope this will convince them to
step forward just before 30 days are up and let people know what is
going on. And I hope those few members of MOPO who on occasion chastise a
member for doing so will STOP IT immediately. At 30 days, if there is no
attempt by the offender to fix the problem, then the sacrosanct
dealer-customer relationship has been violated the offender is no longer
entitled to keep the dispute private and it is time to go public. And MOPO and
Style B are the appropriate places for such alerts. Like I said, where
else can you go? What else can you do?

[Style-b List] EUGENE HUGHES
Hi
All,
I'm trying to get a hold of Eugene. I
still have not received my posters
and his phone number has been
disconnected. No response to email. If anyone
can get
a message to Eugene, tell him this:
"I will come to Texas and
rip your eyes out unless I get my posters asap.
While I'm a
peaceful guy, I do not like being ripped off. I can get violent,
and I will. So, return my posters, no questions
asked. Do not return my
posters and I will hunt you down
like the animal you seem to be, and follow
through on my threat.
You don't fuck people over in a hobby as small as this.
I
never forget."
any help by MoPo would be
appreciated.
