Man, it should almost be mandatory for newer traders to check the bad trader warning threads. It doesn't hurt to get educated on who the scum are.
Don't know if anyone else has been affected, but I inquired about superboyq/Jessica Rodriguez to Rock810 after seeing Chrisstar's sigline and researching the Bad Trader forums (that's how I suspected the Lojo connection). Saved me the trouble of losing some figs--so thanks, guys!
Maybe it's too difficult to keep up, but a listing of "aliases" (alleged real names) and addresses might help others find a Bad Trader faster than I did.
Of course, it only took me a few minutes' research and about 8 hours between PM and reply, so it's working as it is!

Hey I'm new to trading on the Realms, and I believe I just got ripped off of two chase figures (in one deal) by Lojo's latest account - AZIEN. So after a few public record searches and cyber sleuthing I bring you some very detailed information about our dear Lojo/Azien/Jimmy Fraklyn/Raymond L Kochonies.
I am new to trading and was eager to trade chase for chase and didn't take the time to really investigate his account. Anyway it's a loss and we live and learn. However we also do have his "name", e-mail and address.
The e-mail address he sent me is [email] and his mailing address he gave me is -

So it's our loss and he'll get negative responses from the Realms. And I'm not suggesting we show up at his house, and demand our pieces back, or send him threatening mail or set the building on fire or whatever, but it takes both balls and sheer stupidity to share that kind of information with people you intend to rip off.
A quick background search revealed the address we sent our pieces to, listed as:

Now what I'm thinking the situation is, is that Jimmy Fraklyn/buffyxxx666/azien is either a spoiled kid, or immature adult who lives with a guardian or parent, or has his heroclix "trades" shipped to their address to create a anonymity amongst amongst his trading identities on the Realms.

...And hey fellas look what I found! It's the land line phone number of to Mr. Louis Kochonies, this is the phone that will ring in the apartment where we shipped all of our trades to.

Gee, it sure is too bad that having an unlisted number doesn't really matter all that much in the age of the internet. Here is the search link.

Zabasearch seems to reset their search fields in the link, but key in the mailing address and you should have all the same information.
With what this guy has done....I think putting his phone # on here is more than alright....I'm surprised he hasn''t been beaten the #### out of yet....
So, he preyed on the new traders again. The 2 good feedback he got was given by people that left the feedback the day they joined the realms and had 0 feedback themselves. Count those 2 accounts (BUNNYMAN DOOMME) no good as well.
Personally I think this is great. Never been ripped off by him (of course I'll never deal with anybody from Brooklyn) but he comes back and the rules haven't helped. He just comes back.
I say call him. At 2AM (EST). That should get some grown-up's attention.
Well I want this to be clear, the phone number is courtesy of a directory look up from the address he gave us to ship our pieces. It's listed as Louis C Kochonies (age 65). Now some public record searches show a listed relative named Raymond L Kochonies.
A search around the Realms shows that Raymond Kochonies was also the paypal name this fella used before it was blacklisted.
We have his facebook page, and a few pictures of him. He didn't make his facebook entirely private, and he is certainly not 65 years old.
Now with the information we have gathered I think it's a safe bet that Louis Kochonies is either a father or uncle that he has stuffed shipped to (given the age he looks in his facebook pictures I'd guess father). Whether or not he lives there we don't know. But we have the phone number for the address we shipped our pieces to. This is a hell of a start.
Our compiled information of this joker can be found in a forum in the trade threat titled "Beware Trading With This Guy" started by GreySkull, another HCRealms member who was ripped off by this guy.
Look, I'm jaded and angry. I was involved in the great Sturgis MI rip off. This is what I can say for sure. The police don't care. They don't. Unless it is something that will get them promoted or on the news, they don't care. I have been ripped off 5 times in 5 years from my house, they won't even come out to take a report. They don't care. The only thing that can happen, and this is pure speculation, is in the hands of the victams. I suggest this to the mods. Start a sticky thread about trading to Brooklyn NY. There may be plenty of good people to trade with there, but this one guy has ruined it for everyone. In the thread, specify that anyone trading to Brooklyn NY must recieve their end of any trade before shipping back to Brooklyn. I'm sorry for anyone living in Brooklyn that wants to trade, but this continues to happen over and over and nothing ever happens to this guy. There are no consequences for his actions so he will continue to open new accounts and rip people off.
Because of my problem with Sturgis, I will no longer trade to anyone in MI and because of this guy I won't trade to NY. I'm sorry for everyones loss and good luck.

If I make you a trade offer, even if you think it's ridiculous, please at least respond with a kind and simple "Thanks but no thanks."
As the mods do not wish his personal info to be tied to the site (understandable), I can PM you any info you wish about Lojo/Azien/Jimmy Fraklyn/Raymond L Kochonies. I have his address, phone, relatives and a current pic of him.
In saying this I do not condone any illegal action or anything of the sort to be done with the information.
