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

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?



Thanks all in advance,

-Cobra

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
