Sold me parts he didn't have, cashed check, made excuses for never shipping parts. Tried contacting local law and didn't get much help. Contacted the Feds since accepting payment by mail is mail fraud and found out they were already in behind him. Thanks to all on here that gave me information way back when that helped point me to the right place to find him. Actually got my money back too! [Reply]   [Send Email]

Yesterday, a Dr. michael Hopson tried to sell a Jeep to a friend of mine on ebay. It was clear that the description of the vehicle and the price that he was asking did not add up. When she began to inquire about the jeep, he asked for her full name, address, ebay i.d., and phone number....none of which he needed to make the sale. She found out yesterday evening that the ebay account wasn't even his. She recieved a phone call from the owner of the ebay account to inform her that it was not her jeep and someone had hacked into her account a couple of days ago. Said he was located only a short distance from where my friend lives so she asked to drive up and look at it. He rejected the idea and kept insisting she send him $2500 and he would give her his address so she could pick it up. He even sent her an invoice that was supposed to be an ebay invoice. Turns out it was a fake. It was just another of his attempts to get her to send the money. Fishy   [Reply]   [No Email]
