Default mrcwazie - Dan lives at Dragon City

A warning to avoid dealings with Dan aka mrcwazie.

/forums/members/mrcwazie-50158/ - his profile indicates he logged onto the system a couple days ago.

http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=51015 - his heatware profile

I purchased three items from him over time but the last transaction has proven that his gift cards are not legitimate.

I purchased a $300 USD Morton's gift card from him in November 2006. He provided me with the gift card number prior to the transaction which I checked online and with Morton's call centre. I also checked the gift card balance at the time of the transaction and everything seemed fine.

When the card was presented to Morton's a couple weeks ago, it was refused saying the balance was nil. A search of the transactions was made and the balance was removed by Morton's on Feb-14-07. I called Morton's head office in Chicago and they said that the credit card owner who made the gift card purchase, called his credit card company to say that the $300 USD charge on his credit card statement was not his. The credit card company reversed the charge and eventually told Morton's that they wouldn't be paid for the gift card purchase. Obviously Morton's did a search and cancelled the gift card when they realized that the $300 balance had not been used.

I've e-mailed Dan aka mrcwazie a number of times asking for an explanation as well as my money back. I've also conducted and investigation of Dan and now have his cell phone number and address. Morton's has been contacted again so I can get more contact information from him. I doubt they'll release it to me due to privacy legislation but they will release to authorities. I have contacted the FBI and RCMP online fraud investigation units and I am contacting legal counsel to have papers served as I have his partial address.

Be warned.

Ohboiya, sorry to read about your loss but I must up you for your active attempt to catch this guy. Good job on acting quickly and contacting the proper authorities. Most people dont bother with the reports but a little goes a long way and if everyone were as brave as you, dead beat scammers wouldn't dare try that around here.

It's overrated.

Oh ... he will. I've been paying for my own investigation. I don't really care what it costs, I'm just going to get these boys in trouble. Yes Dan (as I know you can view this thread) ... plural.

Update:

Dan lives at Dragon City
519 Dundas St. W.
Toronto, ON
416-854-4327

He's rather tall for an asian, chubbier than most and has poor facial complexion.

He has an accomplice. It was this accomplice that actually made the purchase on his credit card. Dan just sells the gift cards after the fact.

Hai Nguyen.

He lives on Foxboro in North York.

I've called both numerous times but to no avail so I'm leaving this information as a warning to everyone else.

Thanks to everyone who assisted me on this investigation to help me get the information I've made available!!!
