I recently purchased a used monitor from Med Express Sales, on Ebay.  Upon receiving the device, I noticed a metal placard on the back of the monitor which read "Property of Central DuPage Hospital," followed by a serial number that was partially scratched out. To add insult to injury, the monitor arrived postage due by USPS!  What a bunch of cheapskates!

After contacting local police, and having my brand-new monitor seized as evidence, the police got back to me, asking more questions about where I got the monitor.  I found out the monitor had been stolen from that hospital in Illinois, along with a number of other pieces of medical equipment being hawked on Ebay by Med Express Sales.  The police detective could not comment much on the case, other than to say that the case has now been referred to the FBI's cybercrime unit (since the goods crossed state lines), and also that Med Express Sales is now under Federal investigation for fencing large quantities of stolen medical and scientific equipment, stolen from clinics, hospitals and colleges across the U.S.  

Looks like Med Express Sales could be at the center of a major theft ring.  I wonder what other unlawful activities this fraudulent company is up to.

Now that I have lost my monitor due to their criminal activity, I called Med Express Sales in Ohio. I asked them to refund my money, since the monitor they sold me was hot.  Rather than try to fix the problem, the sales rep got all defensive and used abusive and threatening language.  He told me to stop pursuing the issue, or their attorney, James Amodio from Brown & Amodio, would file a lawsuit against me for "harassment" and "defamation" since I was claiming they did something illegal.  Which they have, according to police.

Best to avoid these crooks at Med Express Sales, unless you like buying stolen goods and getting ripped off in the process.
