I have been talking with Bill Stern for several weeks before I placed an order with him. He told me he ran a "hedge fund" by day and shipped 2200 pairs of jeans a week in a part time venture. Ironcally, when I contacted the NY State Secretary of State, his name was listed as a registered broker.

When it came to the order he would not ship COD, but asked that I deposit the money in the branch of his account here in California. He also told me that he could not accept PayPal because he was in litegation with them over $30,000 which was stolen from him.

On August 10.2005 I depositd $465 in his account at Washington Mutual. He said he would ship the next day, which never happened and promissed to ship the next. When I asked for a tracking number he never gave me one, and said he would call me back with a number. Obviously he did not. Finally I sent him an email after talking with the FBI in Newark New Jersery. where a family member works. They informed me that, because I had deposited the money in his bank account, this constituted Federal Wire Fraud which is a fealony.

I wrote to Bill and told him that I would continue my dialogue with the FBI if he did not refund my money. He did, although i am still out more than $100 from Ebay based on his fraud.

He wrote me an email stating the did not appreciate the way I spoke to him on his voice mail, and that he was always respectful to me, and tried to help me make money. BUT, he did forget to mention in this email that he was a lier, a thief and a scammer.

I have given Bill a chance to refund those monies I have lost from Ebay, and if he chooses not to embrace my idea, I will pursue this with the FBI and applicable law inforcement agencies.
