I am not a doctor or psychologist, I did however major in Psychology at UWO here in London, no offense to anyone who has posted "this or that" concerning our friend.
You are all centering around mental illness's which are very serious conditions in thier own right and should never be taken lightly or joked about.

Mr. Anderson/Mr Utterly does not suffer from any of these.

Mr Anderson is plain and simply a crook- a confidence man- and a "salesman" of the lowest form (no offense to salesman )

I am reading this thread thinking don't defend him, don't make excuses for him, don't try and analyze him. He is a GOOF! thats it thats all, no stories no excuses he is a GOOF!

And if you are reading this which I am sure you are- and I bet you have been to jail at one point in your life you I am sure know exactly what I am saying when I call you a GOOF.

i could have sworn it was you next to me in gynecology class!?   or maybe it was in the mammogram class, judging by your avatar!

I don't completely understand why ALJO is going on the defensive

I'm not, I just thought that throwing many ad links on a thread because "supposedly" some members think they are from Anderson was a little paranoid and that's why I wanted to intervene on this thread, otherwise, exept for the fact that this thread warns everyone about potential scammers, I found it very un-interresting.
No offense to the member who started it.

It's OK.  He plays one on TV, and at most CGCC gatherings.  

Ok fine, i have joined, not because i need to, but to clear things up. I have been collecting and repairing pinballs as a hobby for the last 3 years, i live in oshawa ontario canada. We know all about this anserson caracter and we are frankly sick of how someone is assuming all the ads being posted on kijiji and beyond are anderson. There is more than one pin collector in this area, im just outside the gta and i know of 10+ in this area who i know 110% are not anderson because i have met anderson before and will never forget it. It was a fluke actually i was with a friend, also a pinball collector and he asked me to accompany him to help with the loading and i went along and it was anderson for sure. I learned this later after seeing an address posted on mr pinball (daina petits site) and the physical discription was pretty accurate, but as per the 300 pounds, seems anderson might have lost a few pounds, lol. I Would have put him (9 months ago roughly) around 210-220 but i don't work at the carnivals guessing peoples weight, lol. He was quite polite and the deal was good according to my recolection (in no way am i defending him). I Do have friends in the police force and i have knowledge that anderson was involved in some fire in aberfoyle and at the time (sept , oct) he was in fact incarcerated at that time. I Assumed he still was in jail. Regardless its not fair how mine and others have had to suffer and defend ourselves over this bird. He may be running ads out here , he maybe not. Its hard to say actually, but as it says in the mr pinball site he probably won't scam you if you are picking up from him, which my friend did and was not scammed. Its sad the police have not put him away for longer and he is still at large, i don't blame people for exposing him as long as they are sure 100% its him. The thing is that the person running these ads about anderson doesn't do any investigating first and just copies and pastes our ads and changes them how he sees fit, furthermore it is getting innocent peoples email addresess posted on the mr pinball fraud (blacklist) forum (not cool) we are getting blacklisted before we have a chance to defend ourselves or even comment about it. The reason i thought it was someone from this site is because when i googled anderson this thread came up and it was recent. I want to Apologies to all maaca users and forum masters that i was apparently wrong. I Just wanted someone to know that this behavior is not fair and better tactics are called for in tracking down andersons ads.

So pinman, I'm confused, are you located in Hamilton, Guelph, Burlington or Oshawa ??

The only question I have after all of this is.... who are you really?

This is the second post of this type I've seen (on kijiji and now here) yet we have no idea who you (or "we" in reference to you and your collector friends) really are?

If you somehow are being lumped into the Anderson camp, maybe it's time to speak up and let everyone know who you and your friends are, so that people can distinguish you from Anderson. (when we see posts on Kijiji and the like)  Maybe even change your postings on Kijiji so that they don't resemble Anderson posts?

If you don't want to get lumped into the Anderson camp, don't post like Anderson does.  Simple.

Is there a way to trace the IP, to at least a location/city?

What's the real name of mr.pinman ?
Is he on Mr.Pinball (white or black list) ?

Thanks,
- Joe.

No offense taken... no apologies needed. But keep in mind that Anderson has scammed A LOT of people over the years, and since there has been MAACA around, and the community is now more close-knit, it does happen on occasion that people tend to be a bit overcautious here. BUT... if you think that is bad, ask around in the US community... due to guys like Anderson and Jebsen, many Americans REFUSE to deal with anyone from Canada, and that is far worse than the occasionnal finger-pointing.

IDing yourself is always the best bet in a transaction. Like I said... full disclosure.

Totally understand where you are coming from sparky and i respect all the things you had to say in regard to this matter. In relation to the other posts (after mine) i think i have said enough and if anyone wants to go anderson bashing or continue bashing anderson on here or kijiji, all i have to say indirectly is there are addresses posted on mr pinball and contact numbers, ect ect ect. Start there im sure if one put his mind to it, it wouldn't be to hard to track the person or persons down. Talking about it isn't going to resolve anything except put peopes guard up, if thats the intention well its been executed quite well. If the intention was or is to stop anderson from doing this type of scamming then i think its going to take more than just talk to resolve the issues people have on here and others he has scammed in the past. To make sure he doesn't scam anyone in the future well i don't have the answer to that question but i know bashing people who are not involved with his criminal activitys is not the answer. I Am not going to remain a member here so i don't find it nessesary to have to provide i.d who i or my friends in the hobby are. I Just simply joined to state my point and move on. I have done nothing but read and hear about this anderson guy and frankly there is nothing as far as im concerned that hasn't been said already. However there seems to be more than one anderson out there, or at least more scammers ripping people off who are involved in this field. I Buy games from people in person, i would never buy anything i cannot see or touch in person or in regards to ebay i would want to see the machine beforehand or i wouldn't bid. I Understand people get carried away and want something and take a chance, im sure i speak for more than myself here, i have paid for items that just never arrive. Once bitten twice shy !!!

I still fail to see why you're so worked up about the whole Anderson thing.  We're all aware of him.  None of us can really do anything about posts that show up elsewhere.

I suspect we're going to continue to hear about him as long as he's in the scamming business.

Instead of just talking and typing, try thinking, i would imagine if your email address ended up on the blacklist for no reason, you might be a little pissed off too, don't ya think ? Im not worked up, i just don't like being accused of being or affiliated with a known criminal scam artist in this hobby.
