Christopher Lewis on Kingsnake (SCAMER)

Not surprisingly, that address does come back to Christopher L Lewis (43).
Now, whether that person has any idea that all of this is taking place could be an entirely different story.

Exactly.

Property search came up with this

Single Family Residence, 3 Bed, 2.50 Bath, 2027 Sq. Ft

I would like to take a moment to thank everyone for their input and advise on this. Ive been stressing ever since monday morning when he stopped responding to me. And its members like everyone here and forums like this that make these rare and very unpleasant situations easier to deal with. Im going to contact paypal again tommorrow as well as my bank and ive been in touch with internet fraud division of FBI and will continue with that to see if this guy can be prosecuted. the address given above may very well be the most helpful yet if it is legit or at least somewhat connected to him. And hopefully no one else has to deal with the headaches and aggrivations this guy has caused.

ill update on what happens and please pass along any more info on this guy if anyone comes upon any..

thanks again everyone

Didn't you say that Lewis wanted you to send your $1300 to another party he owed money to?
Would you mind posting that email just for information purposes, please? (would like to see the "owed" party's name)

And does anyone have a phone number for this guy?

Sorry for the lengthy post again but heres the chain of emails and responses from me dealing with this guy including where he asked me to send money to someone else. i didnt do that which worried me but was too late by then he already had my money...

Alright, I can get them shipped out tomorrow then

Would you mind helping me out a bit, though? I need to send that money to someone else (reason I'm selling in the first place - got a few debts to be paid!) and I just realized how ridiculous fees will be sending that much money twice. Could I send you a refund and have you send it to him?

Paypal is this email (clewis53@live.com)

I did not produce them myself; they hatched around June-July 09 (I don't have the exact hatch date) and are not from the same clutch.

Thanks!

Thanks! I'll let you know as soon as payment is received.

wondering if maybe he stole the real christopher lewis's identity and the aim is the one he uses and the live one belongs to the real guy......

I thought maybe he might have told you exactly who or where he wanted your money to be sent - the name or PayPal addy of the guy he owed money to. Guess not.

no - the @live.com name is the one he used to register his account here.

I have a pretty good feeling that KellyM84....is the same person as Chris Lewis...the MO's to both these scams...along with a few others I have been seeing recently...are pretty much the same...and it all just seems to be one big game to them

this person (or people) just seem to wanna see how many people they can scam...and how they can learn from their mistakes to make the next scam better

as Kelly mentioned...you'll get your money back, I'm starting to think it isn't about the money anymore...as with most of these recent scams the money is always sitting in the scammers account when the claims go through....and the scammer just moves on to the next "game"
