I found a used Canon 20D on eBay (item # 3858386138 being sold by kbflamingo) for a good price. Before bidding, I contacted the seller to ask a few questions. We got to talking and she offered to sell it to me for $750 and that she would end the auction. She wanted a money transfer, I said no. She suggested Bidpay, so I tried to use them. But, since it was not a proper eBay auction, they declined the payment, as it was a private transaction.

So, I was willing to go Western Union, but wanted to pay with Visa, for some protection. But, Bidpay had authorized the payment amount, which maxed my card and essentially froze my money. So, being stupid, I figured I would just pay Western Union with my debit card. She agreed to Western Union, sent me an address (which I have now confirmed to be false) and said to reduce the payment to $720 since Western Union costs more than Bidpay.

Anyway, I sent the money around 12:30 EST Dec 15, and Western Union confirms payment at 7:27pm EST same day. She emailed me around 6:30 EST Dec 15 to say she was going to pick up the money and then send me the camera, overnight Fedex, if they were still open, otherwise the next day (Thurs the 16th). After that, no contact. No emails, no response to my emails, no camera, nothing.

All I have for these people (if it is more than one, which they indicated) is:

Karie Lambert & David Harkai

9621 Cristobal

Las Vegas, NV 89117

[email protected]

Searching the address reveals that Cristobal Way only goes up to 3299 or so, not 9621, so that can't be right. And their names don't come up on any search of the area, though there are some K Lamberts in and around Las Vegas.

No one listen to this posting.  ArmyRangerGuy is really David Harkai.  He pretends to be an Army Ranger.  Guess you should have thought of a different screen name.  You are stealing from people and then are trying to act like a good samaritan to get info people have on you sent straight to you?  You have been caught and it is only a matter of time before you are brought down.  Many people are making sure of that.  You are a disgusting low life waste of air.  

You should turn yourself in..

David Harkai is in Las vegas living at 1229 Swanbrooke St.  The home is in his moms name.  He is going under the name David Frost.  He is trying to take my friend for a ride now and she is beliveing him.  I am scared to death because I have read he steals pain pills, goes to hospitals for them, and broke into homes and stolen from friends.  She was told he is no longer aloud near my home.  She lives with me and may have to leave as I am terrified.  I am a single mom and have 2 children to care for and god help him if he comes near me or my kids.  It won't be a pretty picture.  He always gave me chills and now I know why.  If anyone has something to report to LVPD let me know or call them and give them the information I just gave you.  He is currently at that address but I do not know for how long.  I would gladly call the police if I had something to tell them.  Everything I have is from here and other people I have spoken to.  He is dangerous from what I can see.

Also Karrie Lambert had nothing to do with his scams he was using her information for his scams.  She didn't know until it was too late.  She wants nothing to do with him and is trying to stay clear of this crap but her name is being put all over due to him.  It is sad.  He meets a woman and does all these things under their names also.  Read all the reports.  He got mad at one woman and call CPS filing a fake report.  He stole her Dads pain pills.  He is a crazed junkie that will do whatever he needs to get what he wants.  Last I saw he he was complaining he had kidney stones and my friend was taking him to a hospital. I gave him some meds to help which was before I saw all these reports.  So now I am afraid he will come after me.  I was shocked to see a report here that mentioned he would fake kidney stones to go to the hospital and get pain meds.  What I saw was not stones and was withdrawal.  He needed a fix.  I pray he hasn't stolen anything from my home and never does.  It would not be a pretty picture.  Now I may have to get a home security system and as a single mom I can not afford that expense.  If she won't listen to reason and continues to see him she must leave.  I will get a restraining order on him if he continues to come near my home.  I have never been so scared

So if anyone in Vegas has anything to bring to the police he is under the name David Frost and lives at the above address in Summerlin.  Please Please contact me or take the info to metro.  I will help in anyway I can.  I am sure she will not give me his phone number now but if I can get my hands on it I will post it.  

He needs to be put away.  He endangers children also and from my research has been scamming people this year also.  He is a crazy drug addicted con man.....

Any info please email me at (((redacted)))

I'm sorry to hear about your situation, it seems Ebay is becoming a safe haven for crooks, because they know the chances of them getting caught are slim! I've been ripped off on Ebay before but not for as much money as you were. Ebay offers no real help, they say they will "investigate" but nothing is resolved. Seems as long as they get their seller fees off these crooks, they don't care who gets ripped off! What I have done in the past because Ebay doesn't care about their customers being ripped off, if the crook is still bold enough to continue to sell under the same seller name, I contacted every person who bid before the auction is over and alerted them to the fact that the seller is a con artist! This can only work for a while because eventually the scamming crook will make a new seller name/account, but at least I did more than Ebay attempted to do! Because you bought it outside the auction I don't think there is anything that Ebay can do, but the amount of money that is being stolen using their service, they might look into this guy, SO EVERYONE STILL NEEDS TO CONTACT EBAY, and don't let it rest, raise some hell! I've looked into the Nevada law's a little and there are several categories this sort of theft falls under, I'm not sure how they determine which one but anyway here's what I found. These are the two which I think describes this sort of theft the best: NRS 205.380 Obtaining money, property, rent or labor by false pretenses. 1. A person who knowingly and designedly by any false pretense obtains from any other person any chose in action, money, goods, wares, chattels, effects or other valuable thing, including rent or the labor of another person not his employee, with the intent to cheat or defraud the other person, is a cheat, and, unless otherwise prescribed by law, shall be punished: (a) If the value of the thing or labor fraudulently obtained was $250 or more, for a category B felony by imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of not less than 1 year and a maximum term of not more than 6 years, or by a fine of not more than $10,000, or by both fine and imprisonment. In addition to any other penalty, the court shall order the person to pay restitution. (b) If the value of the thing or labor fraudulently obtained was less than $250, for a misdemeanor, and must be sentenced to restore the property fraudulently obtained, if it can be done, or tender payment for rent or labor. NRS 205.0835 Penalties. Theft 1. Unless a greater penalty is imposed by a specific statute, a person who commits theft in violation of any provision of NRS 205.0821 to 205.0835, inclusive, shall be punished pursuant to the provisions of this section. 2. If the value of the property or services involved in the theft is less than $250, the person who committed the theft is guilty of a misdemeanor. 3. If the value of the property or services involved in the theft is $250 or more but less than $2,500, the person who committed the theft is guilty of a category C felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130. 4. If the value of the property or services involved in the theft is $2,500 or more, the person who committed the theft is guilty of a category B felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of not less than 1 year and a maximum term of not more than 10 years, and by a fine of not more than $10,000. 5. In addition to any other penalty, the court shall order the person who committed the theft to pay restitution. So seeing that this guy is ripping off people in large sum's, over $250 at a time, it looks like that constitutes a felony charge. You might want to give the LVPD a call and speak to an available detective to see what he recommends, let him know you aren't the only one that has been ripped off, and that the crook is still listing auctions to attempt to rip off MORE people. If he seems like he can help, come back here and post his name so that anyone else that has been ripped off can contact the detective. Once he realizes this guy is screwing many people not just one, then maybe he'll be more inclined to bust the crook AKA David Harkai and Karie Lambert. Good luck!

I was scammed out of $1,015. My credit is now ruined and I have 3 small children to care for as a single mother. David Harkai offered to help me start my own cleaning business. He gave me a check written from a closed account (Monroe County Community Credit Union). I didn't know the account was closed until it was too late. I want him caught. BADLY! Because of what he did, my children are suffering; this is unacceptable to me. The only info I have is an email of [email protected]. He was using [email protected], but that email has been closed. I meet him at 3218 Elmwood, Monroe, MI 48162 to get the check from him. He stated to me at that time that he and his wife were divorcing. I don't even know if he's really married. I can be contacted at xxx PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT ANY TIME. Thank you Lisa Let's get this guy!

I want to add to this report. I have also been scammed by this person for $400. I won an auction on eBay. Paid with a postal money order because BidPay did not work (I wonder why???). Never did get the camera. The user ID was [email protected]. The address I sent money to was 2750 S. Durango, #3820, Las Vegas, NV 89117. There is a phone number at this address 775-341-9580 owned by Rosemary Lager or Larger. Please report to this forum if you have been scammed by kbflamingo on eBay. We need $5K in theft in order to be a felony.
