bwanek1,

could you please provide some more information. I am just reading those posts and I am getting shocked. I don't know carlsson1982 personelly and I know him only from his posts here - reading his posts he seemed to be a good guy. If he is a crook he should be expelled but even then he should have rigth to defence himself .

Close. He was formerly a WAF member under the name Sid. However, he was thrown off the forum for using it to screen fakes and try to lure prospective buyers for bogus items he was selling as authentic via a Belgian auction site, as well as for offering items for sale here, which he didn’t even own. He was also formerly a WRF member under the name Fenix82. However, he was thrown off that forum for fraudulently selling doctored up ground-dug cap insignia via that forum. He was able to sneak back onto both forums under a fake identity as Carlsson1982.

As Carlsson, he tried to create a new persona as a helpful "expert" here (which seems to have fooled several people for quite a while), but it looks like the transformation was only superficial and he was still pulling the same old scams at the expense of fellow collectors. Apparently that caught up with him.

Like I said, he was already thrown off this forum and another previously. He was never allowed back; he came back under a false identity. This is his second time being thrown off this forum.

I suggest that you do a search for his previous identity under the username "Sid." Though many of the links to the photos in those old threads are now broken, by reading them, you can still see the frauds and scams he was inolved in. That may give you a better idea of what kind of guy he really is. He may have played a good character for a while as "Carlsson," but a leopard can't really change his spots.

I was already wondering why he was expelled.
Thanks for providing this info.

[Ian Hulley]

His expulsion is a credit to those who pulled the plug on him, however he will no doubt re-surface in another guise .... perhaps he's already established a couple of accounts in our midst ready for the day he must have known was coming.

I smelled a rat months ago and Brad and others supplied the name.

Ian ,

even if he is guilty he should have right to defence himself.

Carlsson1982 asked me to post message from him but I am not going to do that because it looks confidential and I don't want to stay between him and other members. I don't know him well but he should have a chance to show his side to post his version.

He's been caught trying to (or actually) rip off people from this forum TWICE now ... you may care to remember the old saying ... "Sleep with dogs you wake up with fleas".

Hi, I post this in the name of Sid:

"Thanks Blazej for posting this response.
It's really easy now to say all you want with knowing I can't respond right now. For the guys who really want to know what happened. Some days ago I had a 'nice' chat with the guy in PM's since he indirectly called me a crook on a thread. So I wrote to the him, and his responses were "very nice". He also insulted me, so I responded back of course. If I can access my inbox I would easily proof It by sending copy's of It.
First of all members that I had contact with, knows my name, I've never tried to hid It. I could easily not reveal my name, do I? Bwanek knew who I was almost a year ago because I told him in the other forum (Warrelics). I was a member in 2006, and as a beginner bu then I had some insignia that I've put for sale on a belgian site. So as a beginner I didn't know it was a fake, since it 'looked' very old. But as soon as I knew (later of course) that It was fake I took it off.
So the context is very important to understand here. I remember well his arrogant replies (like you still do It nowadays) on the skull in question, but since I didn't know him, I couldn't trust him neither so I didn't care about his replies.
So after he insulted me back then (with PM's of course, It must stay in close doors), I've naturally insulted him back.
And asked his buddy Gary Wood to expell me. That was the historic.

Now to proof you guys that Iam very fair and trustable. I can give some names here from whom I sold SS insignia. The fellow-members Iam naming, can easily confirm It.Please do. I sold SS insignia to:

-Pzb14 (2 SS eagles and two skulls and a SS armeagle)
-revi (revi alloy in the Netherlands): I think two years ago, a very nice Augustin Hicke eagle
-John Brandon (also a dug ss eagle m1/167) also two years ago
-Peter Manzie ( a very nice M1/8 eagle)
-Harold Christian: a BeVo skull
-Stefano Boccafoglia: a SS armeagle
-GARY RUHL: a vey nice M1/24 cupal skull
-Bwanek: a nice 499/41, a nice SS 475/39 alum eagle. a M1/52 was retouched, repainted, but I didn't knew, since they are original insignia that are also painted like eg. the 499/41. So he sent It back, and I arranged the transaction by sending him a nice cupal Assmann eagle (SS 155/36) as a change, he accepted. BY THE WAY. He had me expelled from the forum a year before I sold him those insignia SO I could easily take a revenge by sending him nothing and take the money. He bought those insignia from me without knowing who I was!! But as fair guy I did the transaction, even I hated him. SO If I was a crook like you say, I would have ripped you off on it, wouldn't I???

Iam also recommended by:

-John Pen.
-Peter Manzie
-Guernika (Ricardo C. Vegas)
-Ohlau
-Pfalz (Michael Collins)
-PHILBROWN

At last I want to say, guys by reading this, I ask you to make your own opinion on it. And follow of course the logic in it.
Thanks for your time.
I wish you guys a nice SS collecting.

Cheers

Sid

I have done transactions for a couple years with Sid, never a problem.
Great asset to the SS collecting community.

Most of Sid's statement above is pure crap.

The first time Sid was thrown off this forum, he was knowingly selling fakes as real. He posted them here first to find out whether they were real or not and then, after learning they were fake, continued to list them as original on the Belgian auction site. When confronted about it, he lied repeatedly. First, he denied being the person who listed them on that site. Then, he changed his story, stating that he was only using that site to post pictures, despite the fact that the items were clearly offered by him for sale and listed as authentic. Later, he offered to sell a forum member a piece of insignia, which he didn't even own; it was listed at the time on a dealer's site. He had his chance to respond to those scams at the time and he tried to lie his way out of them repeatedly (much as he is trying to do in his absurd statement this time). He was expelled for those reasons.

Unfortunately for me, I was later duped, myself, by one of his scams on the other forum, because I didn't realize who he was at the time (he used a different username on that forum and never gave me his real name until after he had my money). He had offered a set of aluminum insignia for sale on that forum using altered photos, which concealed the fact that the TK was a poor ground dug piece which had been altered and poorly repainted to hide its flaws, none of which were mentioned prior to the sale. Upon receipt of that POS, I immediately contacted him to arrange for its return and he refused to refund my money, claiming that he was actually selling the insignia for someone else and that mystery person refused to accept the return (another lie). That fraudulent sale is what got him thrown of that forum.

After months of repeated emails to him, in which I threatened to reveal him by name as the crook he is to the entire collecting world, he eventually offered me some rather poor insignia in exchange for the TK. Reluctantly, I accepted the best of the worst to be rid of that POS, but I still lost a lot of money on the deal.

Since sneaking back onto the WAF under a fake name, Sid has pulled the exact same scam on another forum member with that same TK, again using doctored photos and not telling the buyer that the skull had been altered and repainted. He has also twice tried to pull a similar scam with a different POS TK. First, he tried to sell it directly to another forum member, who, luckily, got wise before sending him any money. The second time, he tried to sell it via the estand. That bold move drew more attention than he had hoped. Once it was clear who he was and that he was up to the same crap, he was returned to his rightful place of exile.

I am sure that several forum members have had successful dealings with Sid. Even the worst thief only steals from a few; he pays for things most of the time and most people have no idea they have been dealing with a crook. Nonetheless, Sid has a LONG history of running scams and telling lies. Those who were never victims of his crimes should consider themselves lucky.

[Ian Hulley]

The guy's been outed as a crook, simple as that.

Besides for all we know one, several or ALL the members he's listed could be another alias.

P.s. ,
Ian, with off the wall comments like this you discredit the case against Sid.
John Pen.

[bwanek1]

There is really no need for a new "case" to be made. Sid had his day in court the first time; he chose to try to lie his way out of it...and failed, earning him permanent expulsion from the forum. His latest scams show that he is the same old crook, but really don't matter in terms of returning him to the expelled status he had earned the first time.

It is like a guy serving a life prison sentence who escaped and, while hiding out under a false identity, got caught committing additional crimes. Sure, he can claim he was innocent of those new charges and people can debate his degree guilt, but the fact remains that he was already convicted of the original crimes and is going back to jail, regardless.

[John Pen.]

I am not defending Sid, I don't know him. He seemed nice, I guess he's not. That's life. My comment here is to another member here that NEVER seemed nice to me, but arrogant and rude, Ian Hulley.
Ian,
I tell you what, I'll make you a deal; If you can prove to this community that even ONE of these people that Sid listed is an alias of his, as you accuse, I will never again suggest that you are an arrogant, and now paranoid j*rk. I will also eat my words and never disagree with you again because of you great knowledge on all things.

John Pen.
