We agreed on a trade and unfortunately I sent my side off just before receiving several emails about him later that day about possibly being a BTR. I have sent my side but have not received anything yet. Considering all the other BTR's I doubt that I will. I have filed a Mail Fraud claim and called the Edmonton Police. I hope everyone involved in this mess does the same.


Update: 4/29/04

By some fantastic twist of fate my package was returned to sender by the postal service. So I haven't lost my side of the trade but the fact of the matter remains the same. Still no contact from "Barrett Theroux".

I sent both of my games on 3-18-04. I have yet to get a response from him. I see many other BTR's reported on him, so hopefuly we can all try and do something to make this right. I will repost the information that TVC15 Posted (thanks again for the info):

For everyone else that was scammed by method man, call Edmonton Police Detective Ron Scolds and leave a message on his machine explaining the situation. His phone number is: 1-(780) 421-3584.

Also you can report him for mail fraud at the FBI's Internet Fraud Complaint Center at: http://www.usps.com/postalinspectors/fraud/MailFra...

I will remove this BTR as soon as either my games are returned to me or once I receive the items promised.

We were supposed to send our items at the same time, and I did my part of the deal. He is supposed to send me Suikoden II, Final Fantasy Origins, and .//hack Quarantine. He has't responded to my e-mails in over a week, and the website says he hasn't even sent yet. He needs to send me my half of the deal, or this will not come down, and I will seek further action!

I am putting up this BTR because method_man71 was to ship me Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 ps2.. I shiped my side of the trade which was Mortal Kombat 3 Snes and Sim Ant Snes and he got it because I have a tracking number and the post office said he got the package.The tracking number is {47023394235} check it out at (www.canadapost.ca). I will take down this BTR when he sends back my stuff or he sends his side of the trade. I have my ways in finding out his real name and info. method_man71 I will take legal action towards you so beware of this.

UPDATE: I got my games back from him but I am still pissed of because i had to pay for shipping.

Method Man (Barrett Theroux) stole my Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, I demand that you send it back to me in the condition that it was sent to you (unopened) I also want my shipping costs refunded.

For everyone else that was scammed by method man, call Edmonton Police Detective Ron Scolds and leave a message on his machine explaining the situation. His phone number is: 1-(780) 421-3584.

Also you can report him for mail fraud at the FBI's Internet Fraud Complaint Center at: http://www.usps.com/postalinspectors/fraud/MailFra...

This will come down and I will drop the charges against you when I get my unopened Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes back.

UPDATE: I have recieved word from another GTZ user that his phone number is: 1-780-457-3984 You might want to try calling his parents/him

UPDATE 2: I have reported him to both the police and USPS for fraud. I highly encourage anyone who has not yet called the Edmonton detective and or filed mail fraud to do it. The more complaints they recieve the faster we get our stuff back. You won't win method man, you are going down.

UPDATE 3: ??? All these months have passed and today I receieved Ominusha 2 in the mail, it must belong to someone else, because I never sent this to him. If you have decided to start sending the stuff back then send me the correct game I sent you. If this game belongs to someone else let me know and I can get it back to you.
