    His Pinside username is pinmike. I could not find the post where he discusses keeping a separate account for scratch-offs, but I did find a couple of interesting quotes including a big one where he voluntarily confirms his identitity.

    Edit: pinmike is NOT Mike Ducker. Didn't mean to accuse anyone with the above post.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    That's not correct. pinmike is not MAD Mike. There was some confusion about that earlier in the MAD megathread, but they're different people.

    Thank you for clearing that up! I read earlier where someone linked MikeD to pinmike and several details seems to line up to me.

    He operates out of a drop box or PO box right?

    Quoted from JoeGrenuk:

    If you Google Mad Amusements plus "bad seller", "Ripoff", or "Fraud", you get well in excess of A MILLION hits.
    It takes a one-fingered typist about 14 seconds to do that search.
    Sorry to say, and I know this will bring on a rain of thumbs down, but it is hard to have any sympathy for someone who sends money to someone they don't know and whose ridiculously-bad reputation is so damn easy to discover..

    The problem with that, again, is there is absolutely nothing shady looking about his store front. He has registered a legitimate business, he ships parts (people love to talk about the gummies they get with their orders), he takes money, he participates on forums, he's an active businessman. He even has a disclaimer about domestic overseas shipping charges. If you are brand new to pinball, type in to Google "pinball parts," and find his site there is absolutely no irresponsibility or wrongdoing in buying from him in all honest ignorance. Most people would be thrilled they can find parts for these antiques at all. You're arguing that the customer is always 100% responsible for suspecting companies of fraud before buying. So that means people shouldn't have bought Findus beef products because of the obvious impending meat scandal, people shouldn't have bought Volkswagen cars because of the painfully clear effects of NOx over the past 6 years, people shouldn't have drank Flint city water because of the profoundly reliable prediction of poisoning that absolutely nobody had?

    We both made our points clear, I'm not going to explain myself any further.

    Quoted from Powerzone:

    Who's looking into following up on this?
