Ouch. Good luck. You should get on the "ripped off by mad amusements" thread.

Do a charge back or reverse payment, if you can. Unfortunately, MAD Amusements has a history of not delivering orders, especially with foreign customers.

It's mind boggling how he's able to stay in business considering all the complaints against him.

Thankfully, there are plenty of other suppliers who are much better:

Could have sworn I heard MAD Amusements referenced in a TNT Amusements video (LAH?) and wondered why they would promote a company like MAD.

Call whoever made your express payment and tell them this was fraud!!!! See if the funds can be reversed.

That sucks. I can't believe this dirtbag still gets away with this.

Sadly the guy is known as a complete crook who also tries to make a living winning State lotteries (gambling essentially).

His game seems to be shipping product to US customers so he looks legit but then rips off overseas buyers.

Sadly again, you're not the first overseas buyers to get ripped off... probably not the last either.

I'd like to see him get shut down as he's an embarrassment to the hobby...and once again, apparently a crook.

Good luck - I've never bought from him but I've read about his "activities" for years. A bad apple.

This is horrible to have to see this guy beg for his stuff from MAD when in reality we all know he has been screwed royally. Now he has to answer to all the others that lost money with him.

Anyone on the East Coast have some balls to find Mr. Ducker and have a nice chat?

How fucking sad.

Wait a minute......BINGO! We now have the bank he is working his transfers through! Someone needs to get Wells Fargo involved and provide them with his fraudulent activities. Wells would have a transaction history of ALL his overseas transfers! This can now be traced!

For international orders, it takes him longer to validate due to high fraud volume.

I have never had a problem ordering from him in the past five years. I'm in California.

It's great for folks to share their experiences, good or bad, but pushing for someone to be shut down seems extreme if you have not had a direct bad experience yourself.

So, just because he hasn't swindled you, it's ok?

CzechPin just lost $3k from an unfulfilled order. Plenty of others have lost money, and various suppliers have gone unpaid. I think you may have the implication of fraud in the wrong direction here.

Normally I'd agree but just how many bad stories do we need? This guy has had verifiable bad news follow him for YEARS.

Always the same MO too.

There are countless stories of him ripping off international buyers. The guy is a first rate dirt bag. It has nothing to do with "validating orders". He steals from overseas customers. Period. Its not a false accusation at this point. He not only doesn't deserve another dime of US money, but he also deserves to be in jail. Mike Ducker is scum.

To OP: unfortunately the BBB won't be able to help you, and theres a reason why he isn't accredited with the BBB, and has no FB page, google page, or yelp page where you can rate his business. Its because it would be easy to see he has a long history of fraud that he uses to fuel his scratch off lotto addiction. It breaks my heart to hear the large sum of money he has taken from you, I hope this can be the final straw that will put him away for good!

Wow....I cannot fathom......have you actually read what this low life piece of crap has done to fellow pinballers across the pond? Hey, Bernie Madoff ain't such a bad guy, he didn't steal any of my investments! He shouldn't do any time!

The only thing extreme about this may be your total lack of rationality.

Yes , 100% shut down AND locked up for quite a while. He needs a good husband named Bubba in a small cell.

Mad Mike strikes again!
We need to sticky a warning for international Pin-bros to avoid him.

When I first read this I thought it was all sarcasm because of how ludicrous it was and I laughed. Then, I saw it was a serious message. How kind of you to come to the defense of the most serious defrauder of all time against folks not from the USA.

Rest well, knowing you 'have the backs' of our foreign pinball friends and care so much about their welfare.

If this business is a known bad apple can we not sticky some warning. I have never used them but am constantly looking for parts and would gladly avoid spending a dime With them if I knew it to be a scam. Sorry to hear what's happening here. That's a lot of money anywhere. Best luck finding a resolution.

If a sticky message at the top of Pinside saves just ONE foreign buyer from getting totally screwed by this miscreant... then it would be well worth it. Good idea that I hope Robin will consider. "Dirtbag alert!"

Sounds like we need a "dirtbag alert" subforum here on the main page.

Ha ha good post. Made me laugh. This guy won 2 jackpots but is desperate to steal your money. Gambling addict and asshole Mike ducker or mikedee on YouTube scamming his subscribers out of $200 each.

He appears to be unstoppable though......

Wow, a constant stream of new to pinball folks?? Or at least new to pinside?? This guy has been doing this for years and every few months you hear of another big value order to an overseas​ customer ignored. Isn't that international mail fraud. Seems like this guy should have been shut down and locked up by now.

Makes me sick.

If I was a lawyer or lived nearby​ you bet your ass I would help. Sorry to hear your sad situation.

Total scumbag.

Where is mad amusements located? Ever call the police on them?! Maybe even play some "tricks"

1. No one can say for sure.
2. Yes, many have. Completely useless.
3. It seems no one can find him for this.
And the beat goes on....

I believe he lives with his mother

(address removed by Mod team)

I have left a few messages, but have never received a call back.

While I agree that this guy is a cock-dicker, should we really be posting personal information for some woman who you only believe he lives with?

If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck then it's a duck! This guy MAD Amusements needs to be internally dealt with, someone just call the FBI on his ass & why not the IRS!

done & done...see we have systems for shit like this!

When you guys get your money back go to MARCO there the best supplier of pinball parts in my opinion and TOTALLY TRUSTWORTHY!

http://www.marcospecialties.com/control/keywordsearch;jsessionid=CFD7BC74FC1776A4295DCC6B72AAADE2.jvm1?SEARCH_STRING=party+zone

If i knew his address I would be sending him pizzas, hair club for men and eggs by the dozen....

haha the WORST thing you can do is sign someone up for a car insurance quote lol

Nope, not even close.

Put up ads for FREE shit on craigslist with the address and no phone # . Make sure to include instructions for weird hours because you work 2nd shift. Even worse, make the ad for a "glory hole".

Sounds like a good way to get someone shot for trespassing.

They haven't done a thing to date. Many tried this route with no results. Maybe it will be different for you. We'll see.
