Hello to whom this may concern..
this writing is to inform others as to a situation i have had with a radio operator by the name of
mr JOHN PRINGLE Callsign VE7AQD of whom their address is also witheld and located somewhere in
British Columbia Canada
The Man also Holds ISED Certificate Credentials within Amateur radio operation
of Basic, CW, Advanced.
It is to my understanding that this person has been attempting to sell items that which they may or do not own online.
they have posted items with photos which are for sale and seem to be a decent deal or bargan or estate . To the unknowing victim.
aparently after things are purchased via etransfer Interac funds sent to ' VE7AQD@OUTLOOK.COM ' John Pringle.
he is difficult to get in contact with and get the tracking number or has another execuece.
he says he had given the package to his daughter and she is handeling the postage transaction for him in a town near by in the upcoming week.
later again after many days week ect i request the tracking number...
he had responded with out tracking number and says he will check with postoffice.
later also saying the package was sent as a smaller item and does not have a tracking number.
he indicates that this is now a situation with the post office and he will have to check with them.
all of this sounds somewhat usual in nature..
after we do some google lookups we start to see that maby some things are not adding up properly..
there was a lot of consistent posting about the man ' John Pringle ' from BC canada and aparently
he had been using a variety of ham radio callsigns.. aparently also those previously sk.
more digging and googling and you hear the various now familiar stories of those he has burned in the process.
I was able to contact someone who had did some dealings with ' Radio Operator John Pringle on Vancover Island '
it was quite an interesting story. I had read of the problems ' John Pringle '
had caused to VE7CY RAY PRIMACK
I had also Contacted VE7CY who was a previous victim of John Pringle. we had quite the dandy conversation about it.
Aparently John Pringle is a well known ripoff artist on vancover island and had screwed people in canada and usa
with his fraudlent transactions. I was telling ray i like to give people the benefit of the doubt. he informed me
that this is only one item in a lengthy trail of items he had knowledge of in relation to john pringle.
so at the end of my day and and a waste of my time and money.. aparently not much can be done..
i called my bank they can do nothing in the issue.. they say contact interac..
i wanted to inform someone that
could maby possible to be an issue with this person and their online activity and wire transfers
' VE7AQD@OUTLOOK.COM ' John Pringle.
more digging and the story goes back a long ways to many different callsigns and alias.
john known also as chris or john roper.. i have now read items of his ripoff scams going back now
almost 20 years...
most recent is what happened to me and the others who recently purchased from him.
so he seems to be going by. ' VE7AQD@OUTLOOK.COM ' John Pringle.
some people are total scumbags...
i had my 50th birthday coming up.. and like i told john pringle.. it was basicaly a birthday gift ect..
so was not only to say he screwed a fiew dollars out of pocket.. but anyways so much for my birthday present.
