		   BEWARE OF EDWARD CAMP AND MATT CAMP!

	After an exchange of e-mail messages using the Mac***portable    
      newsgroup, we agreed to trade my pc notebook for the Camp's      
      Powerbook 170.  Prior to the actual trade date Camp assured me   
      that his Powerbook worked per Apple specs, except for a "strange"
      inability for the battery to recharge.

	We made the trade on Sunday, Sept. 15, 1996 in Dutchess          
      County, NY. Camp 	produced a battery from a box, and then        
      demonstrated a working Powerbook.

	I returned home and found that the Powerbook, claimed by Camp to 
      work, except for an inability to recharge the main battery was   
      defective and wouldn't start, using ac alone.

	Camp was aware that I would never have agreed to any trade if he 
      disclosed the actual condition of his Powerbook.

	Fortunately I have a Trade Agreement with Camp, that is          
      enforceable.. AOL has agreed to assist me, since Camp used their 
      mail server , and they take a rather dim view of fraud being     
      transmitted by AOL. In addition since the fraud occurred in NYS  
      the NY State Police computer crimes task force will assist me in 
      this situation, along with the Dutchess County DA.

	Edward and Matt Camp reside on Concord Ave, in Glen Rock, NJ.    
      Camp has a Netcom account and may post using the Netcom          
      mailserver.

	This fraud hasn't dimmed my respect for the Net community. The   
      Camp bad apples will be dealt with strongly. Of course the key   
      point here is to get it in writing.
