This page is intended for listing people to avoid in phonecard exchanges or buying because of their unethical approach to the hobby. I will be pleased to learn of anyone guilty of unethical practices so their misdemeanours can be publicised.
Please note that before you send details of any problem - make sure it is not a problem with the Post Office or theft from the mails. A 'one off' sending that was not responded to is of no interest to me - but if someone has been sent cards and has ignored a series of reminders, or had a cheque bounce etc. then I am happy to publicise it so as to totally ostracise these people from the majority who are honest.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER BUT IN ORDER OF RECEIPT:
1) KASPARS NIMANIS
Jelgavas 3/11,
2010 Bulduri,
Latvia.
Accepts exchange terms but does not keep his side of the bargain. Exercise extreme caution!
2) HEINZ A. POTSCHKA
P.O. Box 4158,
Sanford,
FL 32772,
U.S.A.
This man orders wholesale lots of cards giving part payment which is OK then orders more on cheques that bounce. He has previously advertised extensively in German phonecard magazines. Appears totally untrustworthy. Avoid like the plague!
3) R. SUMMERS,
63 Verdi Close,
Basingstoke, Hants,
England.
Several different names have used this address all of whom do not respond to exchange packets of cards. Do not send ANYTHING first to this address.
4) J.A. VISSER,
Postbus 383,
1970 AJ Ijmuiden,
Holland.
This person is an out and out crook. Usually he claims a fake doctorate and is infamous and well known to stamp and coin dealers for ordering material on approval promising payment which is never made. Recently he has been using a South African address.
5) GRAHAM YATES,
2 Cotton Drive,
Ormskirk, Lancs,
L39 3AZ,
England.
This person orders material sending a cheque as payment which subsequently bounces.
