Dipstick trying to sell machines on craigslist

jdeeznutz · 03-04-2005, 06:35 AM

OK check out this guy on the SF Bay Area Craigslist pretending to be a dealer. He is using pics off of Milt's site. I emailed him asking what machines he had. He replied back with "I have all kinds. Had 34 now only 6, HURRY" I didn't mention anything about him using Milt's pictures. Maybe someone that knows Milt can mention it to him? Obviously he is a huge fraud.

Who is this person and who is hosting that site? Any help will be appreciated so I can get the pictures removed.

Thanks!
MIlt

Ripping off pics seems to be a big thing lately.

To all that market on the web : Use Digital Watermarks! It is best to put it diagonally across the entire picture. There are some free versions of software that can accomplish this for you if you are worried about the cost of how to do it.

Hope this helps.

Here's a page that explains how to contact Craig's List and complain:

This guys pachinko machine must be huge!

**luckydog** · 03-05-2005, 09:20 AM

now he stole milt's warehouse pictures :twisted:

**RKnarr01** · 03-05-2005, 09:35 AM

All the bells and whistles when you hit the jackpot! Each machine weighs about 85 pounds and measures at 32" high, 18" wide, and 12" deep. Comes with keys, detailed manual and extra light bulbs.
People have been asking to see if we are a small backyard operation or something else. So, I took some pictures of our NEW warehouse. We don't assembly line any of our machines, we spend 2 to 3 hours per machine to hand clean and refurbish each machine. We even q-tip clean the inside of the reels and other small internal parts! You can see for yourself!

he also took that straight from Milt's site. :cry:

**gwarzin** · 03-05-2005, 09:37 AM

I see that somebody has posted this on the Craigs List forum:

Watch Out for Slot Machine Seller Rob
------------

Watch out for Rob selling slot machines. Here's one of his current listings:
www.craigslist.org/eby/ele/62236397.html

The guy must be a crook. The photos he shows as his warehouse and his satisfied customers were stolen from this site for a real store in NY:

www.stealthhomeamusement.com/info.html

The store stays they know nothing about this guy. If Rob will lie about that, who knows what other kind of scams he's pulling.

--------------

Maybe one of our pachitalk members in the San Francisco area should give him a call and ask to come over to see his warehouse?

**luckydog** · 03-05-2005, 09:52 AM

the ad says 10.00 more for upgrade :lol:

does he shaft you more for that :oops:

**Lazarus** · 03-05-2005, 10:06 AM

The post I did about the guy on ebay buying up all the cheap machines (who is this) is robertk6161. Could Rob and robertk6161 be the same?

**Lazarus** · 03-05-2005, 10:12 AM

just checked robertk6161 list location United States! member since Jan--04-05. selling machines for 250.00 and the average machinehas beeen 120.00 off ebay. Any way to find out more info on this guy?

**RKnarr01** · 03-05-2005, 10:15 AM

laz i think u cracked the case.

**Lazarus** · 03-05-2005, 10:20 AM

And here I felt bad about trying to snag three of the same machine from him. Thought he had his heart set on the magic pulsar and here I was dashing his hopes of getting one. Just to find out he is snagging all the cheap machines he can get! Then possibly a scam ripping off Milt!!!

I don't think so. In this case Rob probably isn't short for Robert. I found another listing for the guy. The original web page is long gone, but I was able to find a copy in Google's archive. In it he says for more information, call my brother Robin. So Rob is most likely short for Robin. Unless his name is Robert. Some parents are like that. Robin, Robert, and they've probably got a sister Roberta. :-)

Here's the archived page:

All,

Much appreciated....All I can do is keep submitting requests to the webhost on copyright violations and they pull the add.

I have no clue who this person is and hopefully the buyers will do some checking before purchasing....

Thanks again all for the heads up on the ripped off pictures...

Milt

**arbycoffee** · 03-05-2005, 03:03 PM

Is he using your pics only or also your linc to them ? If it is the linc, you can add to the picture your web site address in bold print. Or a stolen from.

**arbycoffee** · 03-05-2005, 03:05 PM

Just went there.
