Model thief alert - Mike Kalb of Missisauga, ONT ???

nfafan · Post by **nfafan** » Sat May 26, 2007 11:53 pm

Many of us XD fans also dabble in plastic models.

In the past month, a theiving rat going by the name of Mike Kalb has surfaced on many modeling boards doing his one-sided trades - ripping MANY MANY people off for kits.

Have no idea if Mike Kalb is into XD or diecast, but he has left a sad trail of theivery over at ARC, Track-Link, Armorama, HyperScale, MissingLinks, and a sci-fi mech site.

Who knows what other modeling trade boards he has hit and run.

He ripped me off after I replied to a trade post on Hyper-Scale, and after googling his name, I discovered the other posts where he has left his footprints.

Here are links to the stories, note that Mike Kalb has used addresses in Cinci, OH and Missisauga, ONT

If someone offers a trade deal bordering on too good to be true - it's not.
Just wanted to warn everyone.

The jerk lives half an hour away from me. I wish there was something I could do for all of the people that he has burned

On one of the links you gave us, there is local address to me in Cincinnati, Ohio. When I did a white page lookup, it shows:

Erwin, Carolyn A
9019 Plainfield Rd
Cincinnati, OH 45236-1201

Wonder if it's a relative of this guy, girlfriend or just a random address?

Very nasty.

People like this ruin it for honest folks.

Pleasant Plain, OH

Michael Kalb

Dayton and Cincinnati are close to Richmond, Indiana.

The one in Pleasant Plain is 52, Dayton is 40 and was in the Air Force, and the Plainfield Rd. address is 34 years old.

Help?

quite the coincidence that this guy lives so close to Richmond. Is it our old friend again or is the whole family rotten? Don't quite get the Canadian connection either..

Carolyn Erwin has a Blue Ash address. Her phone number is 513-984-1535.

I don't get the Canada connection neither.
