Several members have been attempting to contact Ronal (Ron, Ronald) Ollis about items he posted for sale in the classifieds. He has failed to return pm's and e-mails. He has said items were shipped but they never show up. He has shipped at least one item that was not as advertised, and would not accept a return. . He hasn't had trouble cashing checks and money orders! Be wary if you do any dealings with RONAL OLLIS!
TTT
I am one of those taken. TTT
Have you contacted Terry Green about this? If not, you should let him know.
Sad..
Any other info about this potential little scumbag? Whereabouts?
Too bad, (if true) he's too weak and puny to get by without cheating others. If it werent for civilized culture, Mother Nature would have weeded him and others like him out of existence long ago.
Owlbait, ...Mike, I know the feeling. I was SCAMMED by a "one way trade". It wasn't an expensive item, just a side quiver. It took place here about a year or so ago and sad to say but it really makes you think and investagate the people you deal with now. The old saying..."It only takes a few ROTTON APPLES". I guess all you can do is report it to the MODS and put it behind you eh!! This kind of thing makes it hard for the honest "new members" starting on here. Best of luck,....Lloyd
I PM'd Rob DiStefano. It isn't Rob or Terry's issue other than to let them know. I know at least 4 people that Ron failed to make a good deal with so far. Thought it was time for a heads up.
He almost got me and I know of someone else on here he may have taken.
Thats right LLoyd. This is a great site and we welcome the new members with the idea that they are going to uphold the high standards set here. I even attempted to "counsel" Ron on proper Tradgang ettiqutte, but it fell on deaf ears. I've donated and given away items worth much more than it looks like RONAL OLLIS is scamming me out of, but it is just the principle, and the fact that others are getting $crewed over too.
One bad apple is bad , but it is worth noting that the vast majority of deals go well
You're right, owlbait, it isn't Rob's or Terry's issue.
But, they can certainly do something about it. Like, put the guilty party's name in the "Hall of Shame" for everyone to see who they are before they make a deal with them. ;)
He got me for $195.00. I paid him for a Double Bull Blind. He received my postal money order on 4-6-11 and I asked on the thread when he was going to ship the blind. He replied by e-mail that it was going out via priority mail Saturday morning, 04-09-11. That is the last I heard from Mr. Ollis. He will not reply to e-mails, PMs or posts.
I have just e-mailed a MAIL FRAUD COMPLAINT FORM to the US Postal Inspection Service. I sincerely hope that all others who were scammed will do the same. Maybe if enough of us send the form they will make an effort to catch this guy. It only takes a few minutes to fill out the form. Here is the link to the mail fraud form:
https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/mailfraudcomplaint.aspx
As much as I hate to admit it, I chose to ignore a lot of signs that told me not to deal with him; no phone, not able to send pictures, very poor communications, relatively new member with very few posts until he blitzed the classifieds with items for sale, etc. Yep, I knew better, but I've never had a bad experience on TradGang and I thought no, it won't happen to me. Lesson learned the hard way. Don't get me wrong though; I still hope we can get this guy caught. All you other victims please fill out and e-mail the fraud forms.
Thanks,
Chuck
Yep I'm out $225. Bummer I really just wanted the jacket. Some people.
He burned me for $150 on a deal for a pair of ASAT wool bibs. I'm glad it wasn't $800-$900 for a bow. I have delt on this site for MANY years and this is the first time that I have been burned. I have tried to send PMs and e-mails to no avail. I will be extremely cautious with whom I deal with on the site from now on. If I don't recognize you as a "longtimer", no deal!
There is bound to be a member near this guy. His profile says Indiana.
What address did the money go to ?
Please post his address or pM it to me. I didn't keep it :banghead: I'll fill out the fraud claim!
Just filled out the complaint form and submitted it. It is easy and I urge all others to do so. Thank you Chuck for providing access to the site.
What is his user name?
Damn it, I did not write his address down as I usually do. I simply wrote it on his envelope and mailed it. I have gone through all of his previous posts at his profile site and every thing is marked sold. He has been extremely careful in not posting his address or phone number.
I didn't get taken to the extent of some others here, but I did send him some items that I had up for trade and he offered to trade with me. I have not received the items he promised and guess at this point shouldn't expect to. If anyone would like his mailing address send me a PM. Thanks!
wow this is too bad!!!!!!!! It really SUCKS that people do this kind of crap.
i would also contact his local police dept with all the gathered info and scams and file a complaint.
It's official, he has taken himself off the site. You cannot even look him up by using his membership number. If you will notice on his past posts, the PM icon no longer appears.
there are 3 Ronald Ollis listed on whitepages.com in Indiana....all 3 show address, but only 2 show phone number...if you guys match up the address, 1 of the 2 may have the phone number you need...good luck and sorry for the bad deal...... Mr. Ollis needs a visit for sure.
Thanks for the info,nothing but honest dealings here for me.We must make people of low morals who are out to cheat us be made public.Thanks again
You know it's kind of weird but when I exchanged addresses with Ronald Ollis I included my home phone number. Yesterday I got a call that my caller ID only identified as "Indiana". When I picked it up no one responded when I said hello several times but I could tell someone was there. I didn't think all that much about it until reading all this today and started wondering if it was him. So I just called the number back and got a message that the number has been disconnected. Don't know if it was him or not, but I wouldn't normally be getting a call from Indiana.

EXACTLY!!!!
Got him! Ronald Eugene Ollis, Corydon, Indiana. 30 years old and has a wife whos name I know but will not post here for obvious reasons. I also have his home address. Phone number has been disconnected strangely enough but the Corydon Police dept. will be receiving a call.
Here is the address that I sent the payment to:
Ronald Ollis
3425 Hwy. 62 N.E. Lot 1
Corydon, IN 47712
It's probably a mobile home according to my mail carrier and I bet he is not there anymore. He or someone at that address did however sign for the priority mail that I sent so it wasn't just a blind drop.
According to the e-mail notification that I received from him through TradGang, his e-mail is: Doublelunghit@yahoo.com
That's the address that I have for him also Chuck. I "googled" him to get the info. As Clark posted above, the number was disconnected.
:deadhorse:
Same address and e-mail I remember. I am filing the mail fraud complaint. I will include my info for anyone calling the Corydon Police! Thanks guys for sticking together on this!
His wife/grilfriend's name is Brandy. Dunno if it helps. Got her signature off the back of my check.
According to google satilite, the address is of a very nice place near the Kentucky state line. Nice big home with a very long driveway off hwy 62.
Joe:Thanks so much for your sleuthing. Excellent job.
Mike: Thank you for starting this thread. Looks like there is a dang good chance of his getting nabbed.
I thought a person had to have at least 100 posts before they could sell anything on TG. I must have looked him up before everything was removed and he had something like only 43 or 48 posts.
My experience on TrafGang has been nothing short of positive with sales and purchases that have all been true to the people behind them. It is really sad that a bad one snuck through. I really think the 100 Posts criteria to sell bows puts the bar high enough to keep the crooks out. Maybe they need to look at something along that line for the other areas too. I hope everyone that has been taken by him contacts the local police and the postal service to bring this low life down. Very sorry for all you who have been taken!

There is a Day-One jacket still for sale in the classifieds, beware.
