My son Shamus rampaging through the yard terrorizing the dogs in his robot costume I made for him out of a cardboard box.

Truly a cheap robot, with a well made video using Sony Vegas 6.0

I just heard about this on the weekend. I would hate to think I sent the Turbo trike to a non LMR member. Unfortunately it is very hard to slip a letter bomb through security these days :(

To combat mean-ness with semi-mean-ness; and unless the fake shawnboland knows your address (unlikely now that you've moved), you could simply email him and let him know that you will publish his address to the internet, unless she/he mails back all the bits, intact...

(to a gpo box...)

Call me paranoid, but i kind of seriously doubt that someone randomly stumbled upon the contest, subscribed to the forum and decided to do the fraud just to win some electronic parts...  meaning that i wouldn't be surprised if the fake Shawnboland was actually a real LMR member under a false identity. But i maybe the admin can find out if they have our ip address...

If this is true, it is pretty pathetic.

I am not surprised though, based on some of the other plagirized posts that have shown up on LMR.

Well, the real Shawn is being a good sport about all this. I know I'd be pretty p*ssed off. Assuming this checks out, I hope the false mr Boland will show he's a good sport too and send the goodies to the real mr Boland.

Well, OddBot has this dude's address. If he is a fraud there's probably an LMR member nearby that would be willing to go kick his arse ;) LOL

If this is true what a friggin disgrace. But theres a lot of fun you can be had just by knowing someones address.

Sign them up for free newsletters.

Order them 25 pizzas.

Internationally send them a small box of electronic goods *ahem*dirt*ahem* valued at $2000 and laugh when they have to pay import duties.

(I`m not suggesting anyone actually do this)

Build a robot to "have a chat" with the person (if it truly is fraud, of course.)
