Be Warned All

Post by rustynswrail » Mon Mar 05, 2012 1:06 pm

For those who remember George Barnes, AKA Daniel Chacos, AKA many other names is at it again. A few years back he ripped off a few of us, to the turn of $40,000. Brian Lea was one who suffered badly at his hands.

He would advertise a radio on various websites including Ebay. You would do a deal, pay the money, then nothing would arrive. He would supply a tracking number that usually turned out to be fake. He was very active around 2007/2008 before the law caught up with him and he became a guest of HM hotels.
