Please email me your address so we can um, wow. Thank you for letting me know. Well I do want the Mirror Universe and the Recall (Legends). I will offer you 3 vindicate, 1 icy manipulator, 1 bird, 1 meddling mage for them. Please let me know if this sounds fair at all. if you want we can do it like this: 2 vidicate 2 birds 1 meddling mage 1 icy manipulator or 2 of the meddling mages or icy manipulators subtracting the other when you add one! (get it??) don't mean to be confusing... just giving options! lmk I want the chinese birds to stay in rotation. all 4 birds leave together.... sorta the way it's been with my friend from china, and I'm gonna carry it on saturday's perfect. That's when I'm sending everyone else's.... thanks alot Nik Alan 4608 Wimbleton Way Kalamazoo, Mi 49009

well guys i dont know why the mods arnt coming in here but i have filed for mail fraud (man that was alot of forms) but it is worth it the post office said that the fine is 200 dollars and possably jail time if he is found guilty which should be no prob. so this should be fun since he will have to fly here to dallas to appear in court hahaha they even said that he will have to pay for the flight too that is another 100 to 200 dollars down the drain he should have sent my cards and it would have been alot cheaper that 400 dollars and maybe some jail time i am sure his parents will be ****ed. lmk if yall do the same lets get this guy big time thanks

Hello, First off, I want to apologize for the delay. I moved out of Kalamazoo and I've lost my aol account. AOL was on my friends computer and he deleted my email address. I'm really sorry for the inconvienence and please be patient. Hopefully we can work out my mistake. Thank you for understanding and thank you for your time. I did email everyone and emailed one of the moderators (squizz) just for records. I also changed my MOTL name because I forgot the password, just to get back with you guys so we can make everything clear. Please email me at nikalan1982@netscape.net and hopefully everything will go well. Thank you once again, and I'm very sorry for the inconvienences it has made. sincerely Nik Alan

I agree. Allthough I guess hes rather busy with moving to a new place and all, I think he would have taken some time to send us some mails, considering he knows were planning to sue for mail fraud. I think we all should sue, unless we hear from him soon. Also hope the Moderators wil help us out on this one.

This is the only mail Ive gotten from him lately: ------------------------------------------- NiKaLaN1982@netscape.net To : p_r_v_@hotmail.com Subject : Bad Trader Alert (nikalan) Date : Thu, 23 Aug 2001 22:20:22 -0400
Hello, I moved out of Kalamazoo, and I just recieved your cards on Monday. I've been trying to get online, but my friend deleted my aol account, and he messed up my MOTL. I need to know what the trade was so I can send out your cards as soon as possible. I am very sorry for the long delay, but please be patient with me. I'm going through some rough times in life, and this just adds onto it, so please give me the trade one more time, and give me a chance to send out your cards later this week. Please email me with the final offer, once again, and hopefully we can work out my mistake. Thank you for your time and understanding my difficulties, sincerely, Nik Alan

Hiya! I received the same email as all of you. I continue to work alternate channels to locate this fellow. I have the apartment manager delivering a note to the guardians at his physical address so see if that motivates him to complete his trades. For those of you ready to file mail fraud, here are some links for you:2. How do I file for mail fraud? If you are indeed the victim of mail fraud, you have a couple of different options, all of which are extremely easy to use and not time-consuming at all: You can call or visit your local post office to obtain help and to file the Mail Fraud Complaint Form. You can find a postal inspector near you who can help more with your problem: http://www.usps.com/ncsc/locators/find-is.html You can use this link to an online Mail Fraud form and file your mail fraud complaint in a couple minutes!: http://www.usps.com/postalinspectors/fraud/MailFraudComplaint.htm There is even a toll-free number that you can call to obtain help! 1-800-372-8347 Mail Fraud Hotline Keep all evidence that you have regarding your complaint. Print out and include all unedited original emails, physical addresses, supposed names, lists of all items involved, names and contact information for any other people with similar problems, etc. All these things are vital to a successful prosecution and compensation for your loss. If you choose to file mail fraud using the online form, you will receive an automatic letter acknowledgement and your claim will then be processed. If you have all the information neatly organized and well presented, your claim will be processed faster. Similarly, if your loss is monetarily large or involves multiple parties, your claim will be prioritized accordingly.

Thanks for helping out inca911. Didnt think it would be so easy, and as you said: "non time consuming" to file for mail fraud. I will however give him some more days. Because allthough I have my doubts, it might just happen that hes "going through some rough times in life" as he said in his E-mail.

Great Nik. Just wondering: are you returning the cards we sent you, or are you sending the cards we agreed on in the deal? Also, in the trade I did with you, we agreed to split the deal in 2. (Because I thought it was a bit risky sending all cards at once) Wondering if you still want to do the whole trade. Really hope you do, and that all this stuff hasnt scared you off.- Paal Rune - [P]
