I was contacted by william stern reguarding electronics. We told me he was calling because he had seen my ad on alibaba, i had posted a ad on this website looking for wholesalers or dropshippers who had electronics. When bill called me he told me that he had electronics in stock and he could dropship the items to my customer. He emailed me a price list and a dropship contract to sign and date and fax back to him. I never signed the dropship agreement.
I had talked to bill on the phone for over a week or so before i told him i was intersted in selling labtops and elctronics on ebay.com, bill told me that if i listed 10 ipods for him on my ebay account that he would allow me to list 7 labtops on ebay and he would hold them for me until they sold.
I listed 5 ipods on craigslist.com for bill and a customer names roy who works for alwayz wholesale contacted me and told me he was interested in buying 5 ipods for now and then roy told me him and his partner was intersted in buying 50 ipod s a week.
So i contacted bill and let him know that i had a customer who was interested in buying 5 ipods to make sure we were legit and then i also told bill that the customer wanted to buy 50 ipods a week, So i asked bill if he could send the ipods to roy cod and he said "no problem" so in the mean time i thought the ipods were shipped out bill called me and gave 3 or 4 diffrent tracking numbers, none of these numbers could be pulled up on the dhl website.
Bill ended up calling me back and telling me that the address was wrong and that he had talked to dhl and they had corrected the address, a few hours later bill called me back again and told me that the zip code on the package was incorrect, he also stated again that he had talked to dhl and they had corrected the zip code.
Bill told me and roy that the package would be delivered by dhl on saturday June 2nd 2007. The customer roy called me and sent me a email on June 2nd and told me that he waited at the office all day and that no package had arrived, So i called dhl to verify and see when the packge was going to be delivered dhl told me the package would be delivered on JUNE 4TH.
I called dhl on Sunday June 3rd 2007 and they told me that bill called them and asked that the package be sent back to him. When i contacted bill he said that this whole thing is too much of a hassle and he decided not to send out the package to roy.
June 4th roy called me on my cell phone and notified me that he received a notice on his door from dhl saying that he had a package, roy told me that he would give me a call and let me know what was in the package, keep in mind i had already called roy to let him know that my supplier was a big scammer. I called roy back a few hours later to ask him what was in the package and he told me nothing but newspaper was in the box.
While the first scam was going on i had already sent bill $1550 through moneygram for 2 other customers who ordered a xbox360 elite and a sony vaio labtop. My other 2 customers were off of ebay.com.
The first customer ordered a sony vaio about a week ago. I took payment from the customer through credit card and and i sent it to bill through moneygram, i also took payment through paypal for another customer off of ioffer who ordered a xbox360 elite.
The customer who ordered the sony vaio received the same thing a box full of newspaper dated from June 1st which was the day bill claimed to mail out the packages.
The other package with the xbox360 elite has not been delivered so i am waiting to confirm what bill sent this customer.
I have learned through this website that this guy william stern or bill stern has been arrested for grand larseny in new york on May 24th. He is currently out on bond. I have spoke to other victims and we are trying very hard to stick together to get this guy prosecuted.

Thanks Keith
