Bad Trader: Rodger Mcbride/Beth Hall

[JB Kim]

:down: BAD TRADER !

Rodger Mcbride ([email protected])

Address : XXXX-XXXth avenue, oakland, california XXXXX U.S.A

Promised to send out the discs at the same time. So I sent out the package few days later after our emailing. And of course, he received the pacakge I sent him. But this shit said "Remember 3 of my discs won't play, so it's a useless trade". This means that he intends to do not send my discs. This sxxker is really self-centered guy, and liar as well. (He says that he has many rare yngwie videos from masters but it must be a black lie.) So I wanna let my good friends world-wide know about this bad trader.

This person also masquerades as "Beth Hall" from the same address in Oakland (which rules likely prevent me from posting) pretending to be terminally ill and begging B&P's off people. I did like 2 then figured out it was probably a hustle and told "her" to stop sending me blanks. Then I got an email saying "I never got the last package" followed by a package with a brand new set of requests. I've been too busy to deal with this shit one way or another but I guess since she couldn't leave well enough alone and find some other sucker I might as well post a warning here since I am sick of getting these "When are you sending my discs I am gonna die soon" emails.

This person contacted me sometime during the spring claiming to be terminally ill and wanting to hear as much music as possible before dying and if I would do a B&P for one show. It sounded very implausible from the get-go but I agreed since the disc "she" wanted was already out. And got a package with 4 blanks and postage money. I filled the request and figured that was that.

Then immedietly got another package with 4 more blanks. I was pretty much ready to close up shop so I could enjoy my summer and the shows I traded for. But this all seemed pretty odd so I googled the address and came up with these links to "Bad Trader" warnings.

I put a note in the last package saying I won't be able to fill any more requests hoping "she" would just move on to some other sucker. I just sorta laughed to myself over it figuring this person would eventually get what's coming to them.

I get an email saying "I never recieved the last package" then got another package with blanks for all different requests.

I basically ignore most of this persons subsequent emails other than to state I am just never home to make discs anymore. Which is true, terminally ill or not. I keep getting "Please send the discs I don't have much longer to live." When I mentioned the requests look totally different I get a "I changed my mind about what I wanted" response.

Anyway, I might use the postage money to send this person's blanks back but thought I would cast this warning since no doubt "she" has contacted other people to hustle discs out of them.

I thought this person saw the thread and pursued some other strategy but then I got this -

"I am leaving for hospice care at the end of September never to return to my house so please let me know if you are sending the discs, Beth."
