Looking for Info on: Ludeboy / Kevin Lee / Son Gokuu or Richard Veilleux

[CobraYu]

Hey guys,

As im sure many people were aware of, an RFD member selling eBay gift certificates for outragous prices. He sold certificates for 20% off in CAD ($100USD for $80CAD).

As im sure many people are experiencing, as also i am, Kevin seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth, along with some money which doesnt belong to him. Some of us may have lost more and some may have lost less, but fact is we're down because of him.

Just wondering if anyone has anymore information on him, i've been in contact with a few people who have been out money due to Kevin, and hoping that if we put together our minds and our power that we can find out where this guy really is, and hopefully get some, if not all, our money back.

There are people who have certificates which dont work, there are people who sent money but didnt receive anything, im asking for anyone with any information to help us out here.

As of now, i have a small profile of him, and hopefully i can add to this and help out Paypal and also the Police in Ontario with this investigation.

Edit: From what i've learned, he uses many different identities, but hes mostly known as Kevin Lee. His email is alkumis@hotmail.com. He uses many emails and many phone numbers (assuming his friends); i believe this because his english did not sound french, matter of fact, it sounded asian (no offense to anyone), and therefore im assuming he is not French. I've checked Canada411.com, and have come up with only 6 Kevin Lee's in that area; does anyone have any input on this?

good luck in your search for this crook

[eaks]

i also did business with this guy and will never do it again.. first of all.. I DIDN'T LOSE MONEY..

I sent him the money fro teh gift certificates then he sent me the codes.. i added them to my account and great.. then when i go to use them i notice that a couple of them (the $200 one) was restricted in paypal.. i notify him of this and he says he didn't know and hes gonna get a refund from his supplier and send me a new code.. he did so and i did then buy the item i wanted.. i ended up losing a bit of money (but not much more then i got in certificates) as all of the remaining money was restricted.. i then decided to not deal with this guy ever again.. I then later get a call form Paypal asking about where i got the giftcards.. I told them the truth and seemed like they were starting an investigation on this guy.. i then signed into paypal (for the first time since buying the product with the giftcards) and my account access is limited.. i need to reconfirm my address (which is in my moms name as i started it b4 i had any credit cards) so i wait till i receive my credit card and i add the account.. only thing is i put my new toronto address so all the waiting was usless.. i then use another one of my moms cards and confirm the card and then confirm by phone..

All this work to save a limited amount of money.. all i can say to everyone is to be careful who you deal with...

Hopefully Paypal and the authorities in Ontario can catch this guy.. I wud be able to add more information on him but all my recorded conversations with him were on my other laptop which has since been sold!!

Keep me updated on the progress of this!! Thanks

[CobraYu]

Any more people with information on this guy? His actual phone number or a Postal Code? Another RFD member gave me his IP address .. any way for someone to trace that to a certain location? I know he dealt with more people on RFD ... please step forward and help us make RFD a cleaner and safer place to trade.

[goat]

just to check, lost money in the sense that the PayPal g/c's stopped working, right?
because they worked at first

EDIT: POST 1400
:eek: :cool:

I don't know if this helps. He also goes by a name "Steven Lane", "Kevin Lee", stevenlanee@yahoo.com

Address is paypal unconfirmed.

Guys, i know he scammed a lot more people than just me. Please provide any information at all that you may know, or at least bump to let me know that i wasnt the only here that was screwed.

[hamant]

Wanna hire someone to kick his ass and get ur money back?
i could point you in the right direction...

ps- The ass kicking can get left out if you want.

[CobraYu]

The direction of where he's located? If you could thatd be really helpful.

[jtcb]

You might want to try to contact certapay about that. I remembered I got a phone call from my bank regarding an EMT sent to him via certapay. Certapay contacted my bank to vertify that I did in fact EMT the money. A few people also got the call from their bank.

[v88matta]

I am short about $7,000 from him. When I confronted him and told him that they stopped working, he said he was going to issue a refund through western union. I never received a word from him ever since then. Let me know if there is anything we can do to get our money back from him. I know some friends who have the same problem. My paypal account doesn't work anymore neither and I got into trouble with them.

[v88matta]

I got the same amount of trouble from paypal. They asked me where the gift cards came from. I told them the truth and my account got limited and I can't access it anymore nor use it. Moreover about 10-15 gift cards on the account seems restricted and like the previous poster suggested, he told me he was gonna talk to his supplier and issue a refund. Never heard a word from him since then.

what do you mean you're short $7000 from him? the gift certificates worked did they not? unless you paid him that money upfront because he's earned your trust..

i remember i almost paid him a few hundred for some ebay gift certificates, because you and a few others in this thread vouched for him but my intuition told me something was not right so i decided to back out

[hamant]

yah... wait... does no one know where this lives? no contact info at all?
are u serious...

[Hellfire]

I recommend you all contact the RCMP and make sure all your cases get linked up -- ie) One person files the first report, gets the case # and provides it to everyone else so they can reference it when they go file their report. If you get enough ppl the RCMP *might* actually bother to get a court order to get bank records to trace the guy down.

[booboi]

$7000 isnt a small number, i am surprised you did not get enough information on him.

[rks]

Hi,

On one of his old BST posts he said:

1) yes I am located in sauga britania & mavis where krispy kreme off the 401 is. I do local pickup only I dont want to ship ..to much hassle

Thanks very much for the information provided. I will check into it and hopefully plan something to get this guy down.

[lil_c09]

The information doesn't seem to line up tho.

(519) 590-0464 - Would be home phone number? But he supposadly lives in Brampton, or in Mississauga as supposadly quoted from. This isn't a Brampton phone number. Maybe outdated?
(647) 280-0474 - Cell phone?
(416) 674-2762 (office 8:30 - 4:30 p.m. - might be outdated) - Work Number?

519 area code is probably for his rez number or a cell number he's using when he's away at UWaterloo



oooo! and I'm at 1k posts :)

xplizit - kkeung@uwaterloo.ca
If this is the correct person, wouldn't you have the name of the guy right here because university email addresses are hard to fake (tied to a person registered at the university .. can look up name from any uwaterloo.ca user login if unix access is still available). Unless of course the address had been hacked into.

[CobraYu]

Thanks everyone for your input, i will be contacting the local RCMP here, and try to have them investigate this somehow.

Hopefully, once i have a reference number, those of you who were taken advantage by this person will have the senses to come forward and speak to your local police department as well, and use the reference number from my investigation.

Maybe if we can have enough, as Hellfire pointed out in the other thread, then maybe the RCMP will actually do something about this.

I will be contacting CertaPay, and also my local Bank to see if we can trace anything. Will update everyone by tonight.

[1LuckyGuy]

A number that starts with 519-590 is almost definitely a cell phone number, probably in the kitchener/waterloo area. Most cell phone numbers in that area that I know of start with 519-589 or 519-590.

Also, according to UWDir, http://ego.uwaterloo.ca/~uwdir/Search.html

His information is:

Kevin Keung
SCI/SCI (Science)
Mail: kkeung@scimail.uwaterloo.ca
Phone:
Office:

Not much more to go on really, but at least it something...good luck

[phoenix316]

Man, I feel for you guys. I too was in the same situation. I did manage however to somehow get my GC's unrestricted after going through a lengthy validation process with Paypal. I don't have any more info that what you have provided but if you need me as a reference I would be pleased to be added to the list. It did look at the beginning like it would be a problem but like i said I guess i got really lucky with them unfreezing the GC's.

This is me.. and Howardforums mods are dumbasses, i bought these gift cards also i ended up having no use for the amoutn i bought off him and i sold my 1500 dolalrs worth.

If anybody has any questions about it contact me freely as i don't seem that i ahve been banned as i have done nothing wrong.
Also if your going to post things , please post properly as mike2k and medallion is a different user, that post was also corrected as people like to jump to assumptions


SHIFT_DesireZ i never created that either on Howard forums

The only two listed on the list that are mine is Type-R_Boy and Xplizit which i use for RFD and xplizit for HOFO
If you check my preiovus hofo history also is 100%.
Probably a newb mod just jumped after i posted my g/c for sale.

[Type-R_Boy]

I can provide what i can regarding what i know of the person also

I've dealt with a bunch of people on RFD and have never had problems , regarding this particular deal also I was tricked into it, but the person who had bought my Giftcards is someone i deal with regularly i just msged him know on msn after i read this to see if the same thing happened to him.

Those e-mails were not hacked, they are legit Uni of Waterloo e-mails

So did you buy from him also? Can you tell how you/they unrestricted those GCs? What did you tell them? What did they do?

[CobraYu]

Type R,

Do you have any information on Kevin? I guess whats confusing me, is that both your names are kevin? Since your sig has the email address kevinkeung@gmail.com?

[Type-R_Boy]

I know he's situated in toronto area, i'm thinking Richmond hill, Markham because i was going to meet him for the g/c in that area and i'm from the west end.

Yea my name is Kevin, and kevinkeung@gmail.com and xplizitremix@hotmail.com, and kkeung@uwaterloo.ca are my e-mails ( the uwaterloo one was, i no longer attend UofW)

same thing i never got a phone # so those who have are already a step ahead and i was contacted through alkumis@hotmail.com

There was another e-mail address he had me on but i can't seem to find it yet, i will let you know once i have looked through my msn list.

[tweetie]

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I also had the balance of the funds restricted in my account - I appended my feedback of him on heatware to a negative. I have lost $26US because of him, and no reply when I tried to contact him by PM and by e-mail. My account still seems to be working okay however - I decided not to pursue it too much since the savings balanced out with the amount lost, but I suspect there's been a lot of fraud with this.

I wonder how many people have been affected?

[MrSquirrel]

Here's my experience with ludboy:

I bought the gift certificates - around $1000 total (shared between 2 people). My friend spent it on a phone and I spent it on a Wii. Both items came, but the next day I log on to paypal, my access was limited. Then afterwards, paypal reversed the transactions from the gift card, back to my bank account. So right now I'm up $1000... I have no idea what to do now. Paypal account has been limited since Dec. 21.

647-887-4954 is the # he gave me, but my friend kept calling him but he never answers.

I have all my history talking with him saved in my computer. He also gave me refunds since my account was limited and I couldn't use my paypal.

[CobraYu]

Guys,

Just to bring this thread back to the top ..

I called my local RCMP Detachment, and have been in Contact with the a Certapay manager.

It seems that neither of them are able to give us information about Kevin, as it is Buyer's Beware on a subject like this. With that being said, i am throwing out one last cry for anyone who has any concrete information about this guy. Someone like this shouldnt be able to go on and continue screwing more people over, and its because of peopel like this that people are warded away from doing transactions online. Im not in this to get my money back anymore, rather, im in this to see this guy learn his lesson in screwing people over.

If anyone has any information, i honestly plead you to let me know some information. PM's are fine, and your identity will be kept anonymous. Thanks all in advance.

-Cobra

[alpha_tot]

Well this is a kick in the nuts. I bought a $200 gc off him a while ago, spent $13, and it was sitting in my account for about a month before I noticed it was restricted...probably about the same time this thread started, although I didnt notice it until just now. I spent the last month talking to paypal and getting sent from one CSR to another, all without any answers. Finally tried to contact him, and it got bounced back from that email addy.

Anyways, has anyone got anymore information on this...I mean, we have a paypal address, which at least looks to be a real location: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&safe=off&client=opera&rls=en&hs=kJI&sa=N&resnum=0&q=24%20Woodbury%20Crescent%20Brampton%2C%20Ontario %20L6Y4k5&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&tab=wl
so has anyone gone to check it out and/or kick the **** out of him?

[CobraYu]

I think theres a high chance that the location above is not where he resides. He uses quite a few names and locations ... and neither Paypal nor Certapay is willing to help. Lol .. the police brought up 'caveat emptor' to me, and said thats all they can do.

[TheFuteballer]

it sucks to hear this. I KNEW this would happen (he would eventually take the money and run) but I didn't know when. I was lucky that after I bought a whole bunch of GC's from him, I decided I'm not going to spend anymore money. The next time I came to buy from him, he was gone so I guess I got lucky. I also had no problems with any of the GC's he supplied me, and I'm still using my PayPal account right now with no problems.

Hope you get him... anyone know how he could even possibly get these GC's?

[v88matta]

Hi everyone, just wanted to see if anyone had any updates on getting their money back. I am out for more than $5000 from him and I have had my paypal account permanently restricted with a balance of around $1000 from the gift cards. I still can't believe that Paypal told me it was legitimate when I first asked them!

[Aj23]

I am short about $7,000 from him. When I confronted him and told him that they stopped working, he said he was going to issue a refund through western union. I never received a word from him ever since then. Let me know if there is anything we can do to get our money back from him. I know some friends who have the same problem. My paypal account doesn't work anymore neither and I got into trouble with them.

In the post above mine, you come back 2 years later to say you lost $5000, while back in 07 you said you lost $7000 to this guy. Did you make another transaction with him or something? I don't know, but something here doesn't seem right....

[v88matta]

Nope but I recovered $2000 through paypal, so I am still out $5000. Anybody else has any information on this guy. Just trying to see if anybody was able to catch him. Thanks!
