Ben Anderson is now operating with Apropas Auctions LLC in huntington beach his ebay id was kaylorcuit but he is no longer an ebay member. I bought a fishing reel from him and he never mailed the item. I tried to take him out to small claims court but can't get him served. He is never home but if anyone have any suggestions on how to get our money back let me know.

He sold me a Big Screen TV. I phyically went to pick it up at his place, cash in hand. I asked him if anything was wrong with it, of course he said "no". On eBay, he claimed it was "new" less than 90 days old. He demonstrated it for me, showed me how to use it. It looked fine. My buddy saw something odd when I was turned around. He saw the TV go off by itself. He asked me if I saw this & I said "no". The kid uses the remote to turn it back on. So, we get home & within the first few days, the thing turns off by itself many times. I leave messages for Ben and nothing so far. We got the estimate...$ 450.00 to rebuild the power supply. Now you tell me, do you think he didn't know this? In addition, the repair man says that the TV is about a year & a half old. Ben Anderson is a lair, BE VERY CAREFUL!

I have recently been scammed by him as well, but after much complaining and "gaining up" on him we got him suspended (at least as macroseller) from ebay. He will be disabled for at least a little while. If you see him pop up under a different name, report it here so we can all beware

I just bought a tent from ApropasAuctions LLC. He wants me to send a cashiers check or personal check to his house in Huntington Beach. I'm really nervous about sending this guy a check after reading these posts. I wonder if he even has a tent. Please email me with what you think I should do. Am I legally bound to send him the money because I bought it through Ebay?

Looks like his latest scam is vintage magazines.
Looks like he's buying a bunch of small e-bay items (1 cent) to bolster his rating.

looked up his ID on Ebay.
Could not believe the amount of items he is selling.
I can see how he is setting up this scam.
Yet I think he made a big mistake in how
he valued the magazines.
just becasue a magazine is old does not
make it valuable.
He must have thought that he could sell thousands of them. within the month and bail out.
I wonder if the magazine cover photos are from
a data base. It still is alot of work, to make
the small amount of sales that it is turning out
to be.
I liked the 1 cent scam to build feedback, then
the early listing to sell a few items,
then within the last 2 weeks, putting on 10,000
items.
His address should be the OC Jail.

AproposAuctions Fraud Revealed On TV Report
NEW 5.23.08 - Channel 10 in San Diego has launched a detailed investigation of Ben Anderson and Meir Waknine and their phony company: See the video!
http://www.10news.com/video/16363922/index.html
Ben Anderson has had to flee his apartment with almost nothing to escape the eyes of the press. They filmed him for days watching his moves. The company is closed and has been for some time. Ben is still trying to use a laptop to rip people off. Ben continues to be surveilled by television crews and private detectives as well as the Federal government.
The mailbox store owners have confirmed on camera that his boxes are closed. They also fear getting sued for having allowed these criminals to operate this long.
The parents and widows of military families are now finding out about Apropos Auctions, Ben Anderson and Meir Waknine and are going to take severe action. They are getting the word out nationally to sue these people, their supporters and anybody participating in the scam.
This will not end until both Anderson and Waknine sit in prison the rest of their lives and every cent is taken from them.
PLEASE if you have been a victim, contact the US Attorney now. The US Postal Inspector can have the Federal magistrate make sure as a witness you are not approached or harassed by Ben or Meir in any way. They will be brought up on charges of witness intimidation in that case.
This is the beginning of the end for this fake company and its owners.
Contact: Assistant U.S. Attorney ("AUSA") Mitch Dembin at (619) 557-5558
regarding Case No. 08MJ0672 about the Ben Anderson "Apropos Auctions, LLC", etc., activities on Ebay. Do a Google search for AUSA Mitch Dembin and you'll see he's a very experienced computer crimes AUSA. You may also want to call Postal Inspector J. Liam Gimon at (619)

jobs.
