Please be advised that the "gentleman" selling the Star Wars pin for $1,600 and posting want-ads for "Pinball Machine Jukebox and arcade games WORKING OR NOT !" is a known SCAM ARTIST in the community. He has been permanently banned and BLACK LISTED on many reputable sites. He typically goes by the aliases "Stephen Anderson" or "Mark Uttley", and always ALWAYS uses stock images for his posts. Do a Google image search for the game in question, and you'll see what I mean.
Well they are all over the place. If they are in fact him and fraudulant I cannot for the life of me understand why this A hole is still able to run around unchecked doing this.
Common to all ads is the bold text and random photos from various locations.
I hope that individual doesn't ruin someones Christmas.
I just google "Star Wars pinball" under googles images search. The first two images.... guy doesn't even work very hard on his scams.
Yeah its that Mr Anderson guy or Mark Uttlery or what ever is name is today. He also has some ads for speakers which I reported. He threatened me when I didnt send him money for bogus speakers. Hes a joke but the sad part is I can see people feeling pressured or scared to not give him money. I should meet him again to give him an early Christmas gift
A colleague of mine sent the person with those ads an email a while ago.. here's how it escalated:
Quoted from "Friend"
Why do you have such trouble taking pics of the actual machines you have for sale? Using photos stolen from the internet removes all credibility from your ads and makes you look like a scammer.
Quoted from "Anderson"
Please don't email me again, you have bought nothing from me nor will i do buisness with you, i do fine selling my machines this way, some people need to mind their own buisness. Theres lots of other pinballs for sale leave me and my ads alone.
Quoted from "Friend"
Why do you change your e-mail address all the time? This makes you look fishy too. Is your name Stephen Anderson or Mark Uttley?
Quoted from "Anderson"
Listen to me you ####ing piece of mess, you think you know me ? then if you are so smart you must know what i do to faggots like yourself who annoy me. Go #### your pinball machines f*g**t. your email is blocked now so i have given you grace, annoy me any further and we will see what happens ####head.

I've been communicating with a couple of the owners of the photos he's been using. It seems that this dude doesn't really like being friendly and cordial at all. Here's some correspondence he's shared with an RGPer regarding a Joker Poker photo he's using in THIS ad.
Quoted from Steve
From: steve Why did you use my image without asking permission? It explicitly says on my website that my pictures and all content is copyrighted unless I give permission to use. Take the Flash, Joker Poker, and Black Knight pictures down.

F**K YOU!
He's also taken photos from Ed Cheung and pinrestore.com, among others. Since I'm a loser with too much time on my hands, I informed them of Anderson's copyright infringement as well.

Can you explain this a little more though? Like.. did you have a deal lined up and backed out at the last minute? Or were you just simply interested.. he's still a douchebag, I'm just curious how it went down
Scamming the less-informed is one thing, but scaring people into giving you money? This guy deserves a good beating
