ruskinfladisplay 1 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I did get some controllers from him in January, Here is the contact info he gave me: 512-955-1706 was his phone number, email address was [email protected]. The address he gave was Dexter Williams 6300 S congress ave, apt 507, Austin ,tx, 78745. His PC name was texaslightguy. Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites
muskiehunter 10 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Dexter is at it again, he has posted another ad on Craiglist, see below. I fell for it, sent him $300.00 & now get no response until I start to threaten him with reporting this to the police & such. He is now in Seattle, WA at 735 Pike St Ste 11-13, Seattle, WA 98101. He supplied me a FedEx number to overnight the check & in checking the tracking it shows that it was signed for by a Dexter Williams. Emil address he used with me is [email protected]. The latest email I received from him was someone claiming to be his sister, saying that he died on October 7th in a head on collision in Seattle, WA & that she would return my money. Surprise, no response since my email reply to "her". Her email is [email protected]. This guy is a real piece of work... I found no obituary or news report for a head on fatality in Seattle on Oct 7th. I plan to contact FedEx to see if he is actually associated with the account number he gave me. If he is, I will be posting the account number wherever I can. If we can't get our money back, maybe we can make him pay by paying shipping costs for others. I have reported the ad to Craigslist as a scam. Craigslist ad I responded to: Ad #: 4073467733 Christmas light O rama controllers and Cosmic color ribbon I have 2 16 channel controllers for sale, fully assembled with enclosures and used 1 season. They have heatsink, and come with the software and all cables, I also have 3 CCR's for sale. Also used 1 season comes with contrllers for them and cables and software. Asking 150.00 for each item. or 700.00 flat for all 5. Email me ASAP if interested. Link to post Share on other sites

bdeditch 2 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Well he is still on Facebook so it must have been a quick death and speedy recovery. I also suggest you get charges laid against him. You might have all the info that is needed. and don't wait he was talking about leaving back to Texas soon. Link to post Share on other sites
DonFL 10 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 If you share that Fedex number for others to use, then you are just lowering yourself to his kind of antics. That address is a Fedex-Kinkos, apparently using it as a mail drop. Link to post Share on other sites
10jeater 10 Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I also suggest you get charges laid against him. You might have all the info that is needed. and don't wait he was talking about leaving back to Texas soon. It won't help. Unfortunately, he is not a big enough fish for the authorities, no matter how many people he keeps swindling. "Crime does pay" , both in dollars and lights! Link to post Share on other sites

bdeditch 2 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 His Facebook page will never disappear, he might block people, but he needs to know there real names. Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
bdeditch 2 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Besides shutting him down would be the best thing. Let him delete all of his selling posts on CL. At least he can't take anymore people for a ride.And he has already shut down his facebook page for the Church display. Link to post Share on other sites
bdeditch 2 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Well it looks like a couple of CL readers are happy that I posted that warning, and one was scammed by him as well for $300.00. and the other person was just about to buy from him. Link to post Share on other sites
