He usually starts off offering nice items at cheap prices then comes back with his "Bulk/Wholesale" deals which is when you get taken to the cleaners.
He went under the name of CHRIS HOWELL back in 1994 in Movie Collectors World selling as FRANKLY SCARLET along with a KELLY HOWELL as an accomplice.
One article states Todd Fiertag was out over $5,000.00 alone

But the guy was a master scammer and I know a few people on MoPo that were bilked by him. Curious if his name rings a bell.Sincerely,Dave Smith
