I , unlike him, have a lot to lose. My business instincts say to go through the proper channels, cops( Buddies of mine), cease and desist, and so forth.


If you have police friends, have them send a nice email with the detattatchment signature on it!!

Call the police and them investigate. It is criminal FRAUD to give out false tax receipts, so either he is legit or could possible be charged with tax fraud, or more. I would not confront him personally.

since you never know where this will be going, take this advice: document everything, absolutely everything do you get this everything!!!  Get a small journal going with copies of emails, hour of day etc. Now that you have said out loud what you thought go back to non swearing mode and simply state to him that you have had enough etc.

Never any threats just state intention etc.  Don't lower to his level.

Most likely this will not go anywhere but this guy can do damage to you and if this keeps on going I recommend that you call the police just to get it logged and ask for a bit of advice.  I believe Ontario has a computer squad etc.

It is quite annoying to be in this type of situation but be the better of the two

Any correspondence I've ever had with Anderson sounds *just like* those e-mails you posted, Gerald. I have a bunch I can forward you, if you'd like. He's a real treat. Lots of profanity, "fruitcake", the "C" word, "lots of money", etc. Definitely his M.O.

Gerald:

1. compile all the factual documentaion and information and forward it to the Police, they have people set up for this and that is what they get paid for.

2. As above but forward the information to me.

3. Persons that can arrange for harm to come to another individual usually :

A: don't brag about it, they just get it done.
B: are the last guy you would ever suspect.
C: don't play the internet tough guy game.

and most importantly
D: own an awesome selection of cordless power tools.

Yes I agree with Cory, it sounds like Anderson's M.O.
First he needs to be ID'd I know what he looks like if you have a pic. It sounds typical of his schemes to get stuff for nothing.
Once he's picked out, you know your foe.

thanks for all the advice guys
I appreciate it.

Definitey sounds like Uttley/Anderson's MO.  So the Hamilton police will have an extensive record.  Threats by email are taken seriously by the police and investigated and IF someone local pursues him and presses charges, he is more likely to be found and "warned" which will drive him back into his hole.

Yep thats why I said it, sounds just like him...

I use to email him all the time just for fun.

Gerald, and I guess anyone on here, I'll pass on some advice that I have found works well for me.
Sorry to give a bit of a lecture here, but I hope it helps.

Daily I have to make decisions that factor in many emotions, fear, revenge, loyalty, trust, greed, etc.

What I try to do is remove the emotions from my decision making process and try to think logically.
I look at each option and choice I could make and determine the course of events that should happen, based on each decision.
I then try to find the choice that is the best representation of the outcome I desire.

Being a person who wants a positive outcome, I try to make positive decisions.
Granted the outcome you may seek is for retribution, or revenge, but revenge rarely helps a person out longterm, and is a negative decision.
It usually breeds a negative response from the victim, and you are caught in an endless cycle of negativity.
Generally speaking, people who make decisions seeking revenge are always mired in negative experiences, and drama.
This is no way to live.

Try to make decisions with a desire for improving your life with positive efforts.
If your decisions involve negative people, such as your situation, try to find a situation that will remove the negative persons from your life.
It may be something as simple as ignoring them.
They only understand negative reactions, and no reaction from you may not feed their emotions, and they may move on to something/someone else.

Seeking positive decisions, and making positive actions that you can control, usually result in positive results.
Choosing negative decisions, will usually generate negative results, especially if you have other negative persons involved.

Do not take the law into your own hands. Hard to see a positive from that decision.
Do use the law to your best ability, and if you are being threatened, take legal action against it.
Act with class, and integrity, if that is who you are, (that is my opinon of you).
If you think you may regret a decision later on, don't do it.

Finally the most important advice I can give.
When you make an important decision, don't act on it.
Wait one day, sleep on it, and see if you feel the same tomorrow.

i say it anderson.  just like others stated.  thats his m.o. for emails "fruitcake".  he is the one with the collection of pretty birds.  not mean dogs or anything.  i have meet the guy and he is no threat.  specially if there is more then one of you.  he had no friends.  so he would be alone.
  
  but i say go to the police.  threats over the internet are a thing they tend not to rush out and capture the guy for.  but the tax receipts and claims he made like that will really peak their interest.  if you have friends on the force, then just ask them.  its easy for a set up to be done to capture a greedy person.  you wouldn't even need to use a A list game to get him.  just any old thing/things will do.

Your statement is logical, remove any emotion from the process.

Resistance to positive change will result in negative results.

Let the legal system work for you.

One should never take a hands on approach to matters such as these.


**However I only have one issue with your statement as quoted above.  Do nothing and they will move on to somone else.  This could be a learning opportunity for the Negative individual.

Again I must stress never take the matter into your own hands.
