Complaint Review: Alexander Leonio - ebay - San Bruno California

Mike and Alexander ar 1 and the same scammers!

Bided at ebay on an item claimed to be authentic. Item Significantly Not As Described: Lacoste Thrill Sz 10 Mens Shoes Green / White (#7746875154) Payment Method: Bank to Bank Wire Transfer Payment Date: Mar-07-2006 Additional Details: item not at all authentic. you can buy same item in Greenhills (PLACE KNOWN FOR SELLING KNOCK-OFF COPIES OF FAMOUS BRANDS)for a significantly lower price or PHP950- US$18), without having to pay for the ghastly over priced delivery (was charged US$50 for a local registered mail worth less than PHP 15- about US$3). I had bidded on the item since the seller had stated that it was "authentic". If you considered the charge of the shipping and the description, you will definitely see FRAUD here.

Tried to get in touch with Mr.Alexander Leonio aka nmachiaveli through email and through his "contact seller" at Ebay- he ignored it. Went through the whole process of mediation at Ebay. Ended up being called a "liar" as he called all who called his product a fake.

Filed appropriate report at FTC, FBI IC3, Interpol, and Ebay.

But Ebay continues to allow him to trade rip-off items through their facility! I believe that Ebay must also be held liable since on the oset of getting bad feedbacks for this person they (Ebay) should have cut-off his account to prevent future victims.

His other Ebay account is badminton_blue. You may check the items he had sold -mostly rubber shoes and compare the way it was presented in both accounts.

Latest bad news, Ebay allowed him ot keep the comments against him private. Ebay seems to be protecting him than his victims!

However I was able to extract some of the negative feedbacks through google:

Mr. Alexander Leonio has also presented a series of positive feedbacks, but when samples, here are the results of the difference on how he presented it and what is actually written at Ebay feedback:

Positive feedback rating Excellent seller.Super fast delivery.Highly recommended.Thanks a lot.

The REAL feedback at Ebay:
Reply by muscat0502: i sent you the manager's check but no reply to my email!

Hmmmmm. Sounds like Alexander Leonio is caught lying again. This time he even supplied the samples on how he can fudge the truth!

Here are the other negative feedbacks he had as badminton-blue:

Buyer jerrycollins69 ( -1 ) May-29-06 22:59 9723844631 Reply by jerrycollins69: I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING REQUIRED BY EBAYHE SOLD ME JUNK WASTED MY TIME AND MONEY!

NEVER DEAL WITH THIS PERSON ITEM IS GARBAGE AND HE IS A FRAUD BE WARE!!! F- JUNK
Buyer jerrycollins69 ( -1 ) May-29-06 07:01 9723844631 Follow-up by jerrycollins69: THIS EBAYER FULL OF IT! THE PRODUCTS HE SELLS ARE CRAP NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE!!!

More than 5 negative feedbacks all claiming one and the same- THEY HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED by ALEXANDER LEONIO aka NMACHIAVELI they were sold FAKE rubber shoes. Isn't that a red flag?

He had posted several defamatory and libelous blogs at craiglist and scam101. Even using a nom de guerre as "jennifermla" (Alexander, you had a sex change?)

Attempts have been made by him to connect me to other ebayers-"information given by Ebay) aka as jerrycollins69 aka lordrowel_06" are totally FALSE. Now with all 5 plus my follow-up feedback proves once and for all that Mr. (or Ms?) Alexander Leonio is the TRUE scammer!

Most companies who feel strongly about the integrity of their product will offer a refund instead of going all through this. Guess you knew deep inside you that what you had sold was FAKE!

Ebay and other websites should protect us, the victims from bottom dweller like you. People like you who give false claims of "authenticity". People like you who fabricate lies just because you can't handle the truth.

People should be warned against dealing with Alexander Leonio who peddles lies and pretends it's the truth!

With the multiple identities he has created at craiglist, ebay and others, he defends himself and pretends to be others. He is also seem so confused also confused that he forgets the subject matter on hand aside from his gender (he called himself "jennifermla" at one time)

Again check out through Google his handle "nmachiaveli". read over the negative feedback that he tries to hide. Again, even with a zillion of positive feedbacks (of which I suspect, he may has created on his own, will not over come the 5 out of 5 negative feedbacks whch all claims what he was peddling at Ebay were fakes!

BTW, he claims to be in San Bruno, California and yet is a registered user in Australia and some of the blog inputs registered himself in Manila on the same instance! His rebuttal is an attack against himself!
Here's another "satisfied" customer of "mike" or Alexander Leonio in real life!

never do bussiness with this scum... LOL... LOL.. LOL..

______________________
NOTE: The report he just made is fabricated. Does not exist. While all my report has supporting socuments and have been filed with the proper authorities.

Alexander Leonio now ehem "mike" are spreading all these lies because they are so pissed off that I have exposed them.

He had stopped peddling his fakes at Ebay as nmachiaveli or badminton_blue!

Latest update:

A criminal case had been filed against Alexander Leonio and his cohort.  It is currently being heard at Branch 60 of the Metropolitan Trial Court.

Mr. Alexandeer Leonio, jennifermla, mikea , or whatever your name is hasn't even attented a single hearing.  Could it be that the name Alexander Leonio is also an alias?  Hmmm?  But I did include the name of the person who owns the bank account of which he has directed me to deposit the payment.

So, Mr. Alexander Leonio, with all your treath of suits of libel. I did file a suit against you and a Criminal case at that.  Be brave enough to face the court.

UPDATE: At long last, the complaint has moved from the prosecutors' Office to The Metropolitan Trial Court Branch 60. Criminal Case No.102823 Estafa and other deceits under Article 318 of the Revised Penal Code. Once a complaint has been elevated to the court, it is considered that there is prima facie evidence against those who committed the crime. In this case the title of the case is: People of the Philippines versus R. Vlayo & Alexander Leonio. A warrant of arrest has been requested against Alexander Leonio. If there is a need to have him extradited so be it! So where's the so called civil case he was suppose to file against me? This is also a notice to this blog. That since it is now formally a case, this is therefore Subjudice! You may be liable for contempt of court even if both parties do agree with Arizona as the venue. A case can be filed right here.

Said this before, your lies can make your nose so long that it'll reach the moon and back! How come nmachiaveli- your account in ebay is not anymore selling items at Ebay? Were you banned? That's one adjective that can never be said about Alexander Leonio- honest- becuase he is never honest! If you follow this case closely you'll find out that he created multiple personalities, accounts, to fabricate evidences and witnesses! Again, where are you at really? It's undeniable that you sold fake rubber shoes at Ebay and claim that it was authentic! You defend yourself with lies to cover up your lies!

What over payment? You seem to be lost! Subject matter-Alexander leonio sold fake Lacoste rubber shoes at Ebay! Ebay and other websites should protect us, the victims from buttom dweller like you. People like you who give false claims of "authenticity". People like you who fabricate les just because you can't handle the truth. People should be warned against dealing with Alexander Leonio who peddles lies and pretends it's the truth! With the multiple identities he has created at craiglist, ebay and others, he defends himself and pretends to be others. He is also seem so confused also confused that he forgets the subject matter on hand aside from his gender (he called himself "jennifermla" at one time) Again check out through Google his handle "nmachiveli". read over the negative feedback that he tries to hide. Again, even with a zillion of positive feedbacks (of which I suspect, he may has created on his own, will not over come the 5 out of 5 negative feedbacks whch all claims what he was peddling at Ebay were fakes! BTW, he claims to be in San Bruna, California and yet is a registered user in Australia and some of the blog inputs regiistered himself in Manila on the same instance! His rebuttal is an attack against himself!

Internet sites like craigslist and eBay need to do more to protect honest users from scam artists like Richard Yapco (information given by eBay). As previously stated, if your high bidder or buyer writes to you claiming to be from the USA, but wants the item shipped elsewhere that should raise a red flag. Do NOT accept overpayments from scam artists like Richard Yapco for items where the buyer is asking to be reimbursed for overpayment. These scammers can come up with a million excuses so if you receive such offers, please report it immediately.

He claims that Ebay had notified him that I, Richard Yapco, is connected with jerrcollins69 aka lordowel-06. This is purely an invention from his own mind! Unlike alexander Leonio aka nmachiaveli aka badminton_blue aka jennifermla (had a sex change?) aka Mike ((did they do a good job of sewing your thing back?). since he can't fight off the real evidence, he tends to fabricate it now. One hell, of a confused person. having 5 out of 5 negative feedbacks all saying the same thing -selling fake products is itself a red flag that a zillion of positive responces can't cover. With Alexander Leonio's penchant of making multiple accounts and alternative names and sexes (?), how sure are you that he didn't give out those positive feedbacks to himself? hhmmmmm? Lesson learned for me- won't fall for scammers like Alexander Leonio! For Alexander Leonio- your lesson is just beginning! Karma is just around the corner and it will hit you where it will really hurt!

If you have such numbers in your favor, it would be logical to open up your feedbacks doesn't it? I have more feedbacks than you and all are positive. You just got back at me with a follow-up feedback when I questioned the authenticity of your product.

The online auction site eBay gives the option for members to make their feedback comments private to help remedy situations like this where retaliatory and defamatory feedbacks were received from dishonest eBayers like Richard Yapco. He won't list the other 50 positive feedbacks received from honest eBayers because that would ruin his credibilty. These are malicious individuals who either chose not to issue payment or demanded a different item after winning an auction in which all sales are final. The bottom line is it's unacceptable to change your mind after winning an eBay auction because it is a legally binding contract. Richard Yapco is not fooling anyone. He came across fake Lacoste replicas at his local market, and would rather keep those instead of the authentic pair he won. The non-paying bidders either have an overall negative feedback score or are no longer registered users. The negative feedback they left were simply retaliatory and defamatory. Alexander Leonio has never sold a single fake or misrepresented item. That is the truth, and the evidence will speak for itself! All items from his collection were purchased in the USA over a period of several years. The real con artist here is Richard Yapco. It's unfortunate that scammers from overseas can register themselves inside the USA with fake information, which he did with a couple screen names. This scam artist not only fabricates his stories, but will also try to ruin your overall feedback score. He is connected to at least two other eBay accounts with overall negative feedback scores (jerrycollins69 aka lordrowel_06). This past year has been the worst for scams. Buyer beware has now been replaced with seller beware. Lesson learned, if your high bidder writes to you claiming to be from the USA, but wants the item shipped elsewhere that should raise a red flag. Here's some of the feedback defamer Richard Yapco failed to take the liberty of getting. The following comments belong to nmachiaveli aka badminton_blue.

The final objective of this post is to make sure others will not fall for his scams.

The online auction site eBay gives the option for members to make their feedback comments private to help remedy situations like this where retaliatory and defamatory feedbacks were received from dishonest eBayers like Richard Yapco. He won't list the other 50 positive feedbacks received from honest eBayers because that would ruin his credibilty. These are malicious individuals who either chose not to issue payment or demanded a different item after winning an auction in which all sales are final. The bottom line is it's unacceptable to change your mind after winning an eBay auction because it is a legally binding contract. Richard Yapco is not fooling anyone. He came across fake Lacoste replicas at his local market, and would rather keep those instead of the authentic pair he won. The non-paying bidders either have an overall negative feedback score or are no longer registered users. The negative feedback they left were simply retaliatory and defamatory. Alexander Leonio has never sold a single fake or misrepresented item. That is the truth, and the evidence will speak for itself! All items from his collection were purchased in the USA over a period of several years. The real con artist here is Richard Yapco. It's unfortunate that scammers from overseas can register themselves inside the USA with fake information, which he did with a couple screen names. This scam artist not only fabricates his stories, but will also try to ruin your overall feedback score. He is connected to at least two other eBay accounts with overall negative feedback scores (jerrycollins69 aka lordrowel_06). This past year has been the worst for scams. Buyer beware has now been replaced with seller beware. Lesson learned, if your high bidder writes to you claiming to be from the USA, but wants the item shipped elsewhere that should raise a red flag. Here's some of the feedback defamer Richard Yapco failed to take the liberty of getting. The following comments belong to nmachiaveli aka badminton_blue.

Beware of this liar! 14.03.06 08:57 You may check my own feedback and find it clean with the exception of the entree of nmachiaveli aka Alexander Leonio. Guess who is the real "Con Artist"?

Sounding legalistic does not cut at all! Selling off knock-offs (still have the packaging and material with me for evidence.) on Ebay. If you want to read the comments made by the customers of Mr. Alexander Leonio through his Ebay username of nmachiaveli, simply google "nmachiaveli". Even if he had requested Ebay to have it private you can view it from there. Here are some of his other victims and their comments at Ebay: - Reply by jsmooth3: Found out nmachiaveli sells FAKE Jordans!!! Buyer beware of nmachiaveli!!! by blueboss:locals beware!!

Jan-31-05 02:08 Follow-up by nmachiaveli: This eBayer should NOT be allowed to bid..Absolutely NO credibility! Again, I dare you to open up your comment box and compare it with mine! If you truly believe that your item is genuine, you'd offer to give refund- yet you don't. It isn't libel if I can prove that it was fake from the very start. By the way, I still have copies of all our communications plus reports to Ebay plus the other "unhappy" customers you had.

Richard Yapco made untruthful statements about a person, Alexander Leonio, and had them published in writing through broadcast media. The conflict began when the defamer, Richard Yapco, purchased a pair of authentic Lacoste shoes from an auction Alexander Leonio had on eBay. When Richard Yapco changed his mind and asked for a refund, Alexander Leonio denied his request because nowhere on his eBay listing did it say that refunds or exchanges were accepted. So when Richard Yapco demanded a different style, his request was again denied. Alexander Leonio had one pair of authentic Lacoste shoes from California to list on eBay, that's it. When Alexander Leonio took a stand and denied his demands, that's when Richard Yapco started to falsely claim that they were fake. Richard Yapco is a malicious scam artist trying to injure a person's reputation and standing in the community. Because libel is a tort (a civil wrong), Alexander Leonio has brought a lawsuit against Richard Yapco, who made the false statements. The bottom line is defamatory speech distributed over the Internet will result in civil liability for the defamer. The following are present in this case to establish defamation: 1. A defamatory statement (or material) or imputation; 2. The statement (or material) identifies the plaintiff; and 3. The statement (or material) is published to a third person, i.e. at least one person other than the plaintiff. Unfortunately, the defamatory statements made by Richard Yapco have already been published to at least one website. Once a person views the material that has been uploaded, sent or posted on the Internet, that material is regarded as having been published. Republication is also a recognized form of publication. Accordingly, taking defamatory material, copying and distributing it will result in a defamation claim against the original writer of the material as well as the persons who copied and distributed it. The truth is Alexander Leonio has been very professional and polite in trying to resolve this matter. Unfortunately, it was not possible to do so amicably with a con artist like Richard Yapco.

As soon as I got the shoes, I assumed that it was as "authentic" as he stated it was. But after a few days when I visited a local market that is famous for knock-offs, it was the same shoe at their display! I emailed Mr. Leonio twice! One through the regular email, which he ignored, and another through ebay, which he ignored, too! I went to report it to ebay through "article or items not as described" and tried to get his response. His typical reponse is to attack by calling people liars! He now hides his feedback since 4 to 5 buyers of his had said they were sent fake items (not authentic!) If he feels so strongly that his item is "real", then he should offer a refund plus shipping for return of his goods. Anyway, if he is willing to open up again his feed back column, I dare him to, you can compare his and mine and clearly I have an immaculate feedback as compared to his. BTW, am coordinating with other government agencies and am willing to send the fake shoes to them as evidence plus all the emails that was sen through and from Mr. Leonio! Let the evidence speak for itself!

These accusations by Richard Yapco are absolutely false. He even left me positive feedback because he received the item in the exact condition they were described to be in, and the parcel arrived within the guaranteed time period. I then received an email from him demanding a refund or different style. I wrote him back denying him because that's not the way eBay works. You don't bid on an item, win it, try it on, wear it..then change your mind. You can't demand another style or size, and it is ILLEGAL to make FALSE accusations. The item description is written CLEARLY on the listing and a picture of the item is even posted! First of all, my item is authentic. They were NOT purchased from this Greenhills place. I don't own anything fake. Nothing in my collection or home is fake so when he tried to use that to get his way I didn't buy it. Second, EMS International tracking does NOT cost US$3. I clearly wrote down the Expedited Flat Shipping and Handling rate on my listing. Every RESPONSIBLE bidder knows how much shipping and handling is before bidding on an item. I was very polite and professional in communicating with this individual, but I don't trust this guy. It has come down to his word against mine. I strongly feel that he should receive some kind of warning and suspension for filing FALSE reports with eBay, FTC, FBI IC3, and Interpol because these are serious offenses!
