Collinwood2003 · 09-13-2003, 10:31 AM

This is a major scammer ripp off artist. I have proof. Video Guy is Richard Johnson you can see on his site here what he has listed on this group it matches on his site

http://www.freewebs.com/videopages/

I found out recently that he is a moderator of a disney trade list and when I posted info he banned me and my friends who stood up for me. I have listed below everything you need to know. He can't lie about his ebay feedback and he can't ban me here.

http://cgi2.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?
MfcISAPICommand=ViewFeedback&userid=ragstorichesfan&items=25

I have found other people who have been ripped off by him. Below is the info.

He is being posted as a bad trader on this site. So I wasn't the
only one for that jerk. I didn't know he was on this group. I wanted to let you guys know right away.

http://secretdefender.sifen7.com/away.htm
This one is a good one just listed it for the bad trader references

His name is Richard Johnson and I am looking to find more people who has been ripped off by him. He is a dealer with extremely rare disney movies and series. He is a moderator of a disneytraders list and when I posted my info there about him he deleted it so no one would know the truth about him. Anyone wanting to know more please email me at Angie21m@earthlink.net His info so you won't deal with him in anyway is ragstoriches@aol.com and Gothammaster@aol.com
His website is
http://www.freewebs.com/videopages/ He is a rip off, scam artist and even his ebay profile says it. Please email for more info such as his address and learn more about my search to bring this seller down.

I have found that Richard Johnson ragstoriches@aol.com is the moderator of the disneytrading group at yahoo.

The disneytraders group at disneytraders@yahoogroups.com
I would post all the info I have on him letting group members know and he deletes the post. And he kicked off all my friends who stood up for me just so the truth wont' be known about him. I am working to get his group shut down and found new info on him. He has another ID Gotham Master and his e mail is gothammaster@aol.com He is saying things that are not true about me and making me look bad when I am not. I have been trading for 3 years and he can't hurt my reputation. I have found people who have been ripped off by him and need more people. If you have been ripped off by him please don't be afraid to come forward or email me privately and your names won't be known. He will take months and months and not send anything and in trading he will say they are bad quality when they are not.

Here is just about all the info I know about him.

I am just stating a fact. He can't deny that people said they
were ripped off by him in his ebay profile.

http://cgi2.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?
MfcISAPICommand=ViewFeedback&userid=ragstorichesfan&items=25

In his feedback it says it takes 2 months and they paid 127.00 or
less. People are unsastified with his quality some say unwatchable.
Someone even said they will sue him. So I would stay away from this
scam artist and hope I can stop more people from buying from him. I
also received an email from someone today stating this:

I saw your post about bad traders on Video.tape-trading why I am
writing is that I saw your complaint on Richard Johnson with the
email address Ragstorichesfan@a... I was not rip off by him but I
purchased a copy of a Disney movie from him sent it with two day of
email contact it took 1 month and a half to receive the movie and he
like to igorne emails. Then I receive the movie my first sign that he
was a cheap creep was that he had used a used tape not a new to
record my movie saw the name of the other tape on it then the movie
was copies poor it was most likely taped on SP mode and he recoreded
it on EP When I question him about it he denied of course blaming the
PO for scanning it and ruining it. He asked me if I want it retaped
and I told him no because I dont want to wait a month in a half again
and I dont trust him. Thanks so much for posting his name now I know
I am not the only victim
After I had email you I look on ebay and he was selling copies there
also but is now NARU his ebay id is ragstorichesfan he took some
person for $120.00 and it took him 61 days for the person to receive
there movie and they said they were unwatchable take a look so you
can ad it to your list. I dont think he sells to much because of his
work ethics. He claims he does not have a car and needs a ride to the
post office which is a excuse I think I still have the video he sent
me I keep it for proof. They also go on to say that if you have
traded with him he will sell your tapes. I know that part and he has
a smurf special of mine listed on his site.

And I saw someone else posting him a bad trader on their site.

Do not buy or anything from ragstoriches site which is below

here is part of his address.

Angie,

Thanks for sticking your neck out to expose a bad trader.

Doing so isn't popular (believe me I know!), but it's for the best.

Collinwood2003 · 09-13-2003, 11:21 AM

Thanks Jen. I posted so many times about this guy it's not funny. I can't believe he is still trying to trade and sell.

dave w. · 09-13-2003, 11:27 AM

thanks here also, he just hit me up for a trade .

Collinwood2003 · 09-13-2003, 11:29 AM

Wow I'm so glad I stopped it in time. It has been 6 months and he did not send me anything for the 7 tapes I sent him. He would lie and say my tapes are unwatchable when the dark shadows I taped it myself. He just used it as an excuse. And plus I found other people who have been ripped off by him. So I'm not the only one.

wew3 · 09-13-2003, 03:27 PM

I sent a tape several months ago. He told me he didn't get it. So I sent him another copy with delivery confirmation. He never sent me anything in return. The tape was for my sister who was looking for specific Hardy Boys episodes. Did anybody actually send a money order to Richard Johnson. Wouldn't another name for him be Dick Dick. What a tool.

Eddie Corbett · 09-13-2003, 03:47 PM

He kicked me off his group just because I said Angie was a good trader and I've had no problems .

moviedude25 · 09-13-2003, 04:43 PM

Thank you for looking out for the rest of us here. The bad apples can kill the good cheer but acts like this should be commended for looking out for other people's best intrestes.

I really appreciate you guys sticking up for me. I'm sorry you got kicked off his group but he is such a jerk and a rip off. I am going to do everything to keep us safe.

Angie

Collinwood2003 · 09-13-2003, 05:59 PM

Hi wew3,

Thanks for telling us your experience. Richard Johnson doesn't even send for a one tape trade. How low can he get? And someone emailed me saying they bought a tape but quality was so terrible that they were ripped off by the quality. They still have proof of the tape to.

Angie

jmdunn7 · 09-14-2003, 12:19 AM

Hay,

I too know him as ragstorichesfan. Thanks for letting me know he is listed as something else on here. He emailed me yesterday about a trade but I haven't responded yet.

Back when I was trading with him before I got a eamil from him saying he had some episodes I wanted and in exchange I would send him stuff I had. I told him his tapes were ready and as soon as he had mine done I would mail them. After that when ever I asked if he had my tapes done I would get a not yet, haven't had time, working on it or only couple episodes left. Finally after 6 months I gave up.

Thanks for the head up,

Jennie

Collinwood2003 · 09-14-2003, 12:02 PM

Hi Jennie,

I am so glad to expose this scammer. It was like 6 or 7 months with me to. I hope he is reading these messages and knows that no one will want to trade or buy anything from him again. I hope more people will tell about their experiences. Please email me if anyone wants to email me about it privately. Thanks.

Collinwood2003 · 09-14-2003, 12:06 PM

He is still telling lies about me! One of my friends email me the message. He said the tapes I sent him were bad quality. They were not. And something else new he is saying about me. And he also said before that he mailed my tapes back and he didn't. This guy is trouble big time.

Collinwood2003 · 09-14-2003, 04:19 PM

I taped the John Ritter marathon today on tvland and really enjoyed it. I never heard of the show Hopperman before and liked it alot since John Ritter was the star of it. I would like to buy it from anyone or trade for it. I have a huge list. I would like to buy or trade for alot of epsiodes rather than just a few. Thanks.
