This takes the cake
I can understand that Asif Zamir went underground when all of the people started demanding money from him. But now he has started his own blog, presumably to counter this blog. Here it is:
http://asifzamir.blogspot.com/
So, let's talk about Asif Zamir's claim that his has had his identity stolen. If he had had his identity stolen, why hasn't ebay restored his account?
But wait a second....
I was going to launch into an impassioned refutation of this claim of identity theft for why Asif Zamir has not paid me and so many others back, but you know what? If he truly has had his identity stolen and if I paid somebody other than him, then we can find out who the culprit is. I sent an Interac email money transfer, as did everybody else. That money will be traceable to a bank account. I am willing to bet that the bank account that received my money belongs to Asif Zamir. We can easily trace that money even if the account has been closed. One way or another, if Asif Zamir is not lying and is truly interested in finding out who stole his identity, he will co-operate with me, the police and all others to have this mystery man charged with fraud. Maybe he can call OJ Simpson, and OJ can help him find the fraudster and afterwards Asif can help find the real killers. What do you think?
So, Asif Zamir, since it is established that you ARE reading this blog, email me and we will get in touch with the police and trace where my money actually went. Then we can establish who stole my money and have them charged with fraud. We can do that with Jakub, Pat, Raymond and Mike too.
This is getting interesting....
P.S. - Notice that Asif Zamir has not allowed people to comment on his blog. Trying to control the message, perhaps?

Shakin' the Tree
I have a raccoon that lives in the crook of a tree in my backyard. This morning I watched him settle in for the day. I was trying to get a picture of him with the camera that I didn't get from Asif Zamir. He wasn't moving at first, and no matter what noise I made with my mouth, he refused to shift. So then I take a few steps to the left and he looks down at me. Oh! A picture! But then he disinterestedly tucks his head in again. I eventually got some pictures of him by simply walking around, by maneuvering for a better angle.
The way I see it now with this whole Asif Zamir thing is that if I and the other people owed money are ever to see it again, it will be through new channels not yet tried, as opposed to the old ones that have failed. This website is one thing, and without revealing anything to Asif if he follows this blog, there are some other things going on that may well surprise people.
Here is one thing that I will say: Asif Zamir, if you are reading this, now would be an excellent time to start writing the cheques to the people owed money. Fair warning.

The Soft Touch
In all of the time that I have tried to convince Asif Zamir to give me my money back I have taken every approach imaginable (short of threats to his person). Every approach has been met by silence. If Asif Zamir were a person with a sense of morality, he would have engaged the people owed money in order to find a solution. He has done just the opposite. We have now passed the 8 month mark that Asif Zamir took my money, and it has been 4 months since I last heard from Asif (even if the last communication from Asif was a flat out lie).
Anyway, the point of this post is to illustrate that I have not only taken a confrontational approach with Asif Zamir, I have also made genuine attempts to help him. To wit:
Hi Asif,
I just wanted to drop you a line to try to encourage you to give me a call. I get the impression that you are having some problems and I would like to help you to resolve them. I am a patient and understanding person, so if you are in some kind of a bind, you can call me and we can discuss the problem and a potential resolution. I understand that it must be very stressful for you at the moment with the police involvement and all, but the solution is not to be found in ignoring the problem.
I’m sure that you can understand how it must look from my side, what with your lack of communication. I truly want to believe that you will refund my money, but you must show me some goodwill and contact me. I am sure that together we can resolve this. It is only if I understand the problem that I can contribute to a solution. There is no reason that this must end up in a courtroom in Montreal at a cost of thousands of dollars.
So, Asif, I am begging you to contact me. I know you are a Christian man and that you mean to do good in this world. It was this that prompted me to do business with you in the first place. I truly believe that we must talk. Let’s be positive and trusting and resolve this once and for all and lift this great weight off our shoulders! Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to be able to stop all of the maneuvering that I have begun and have my faith restored in my fellow man. Please, Asif, contact me at 514-xxx-xxxx or 514-xxx-xxxx. Call me collect if you must! Just call me, please!
Sincerely,
Rob van Hell
Ok, so maybe I went overboard with the niceness, but it just goes to show that Asif had no interest whatsoever in resolving this.

Crime and Punishment
So, I'm sitting here wondering how many times somebody can take money from people supposedly in exchange for a good or service and fail to provide anything before it becomes fraud. Really, I'm thinking that there are some people out there who are operating at an enormous profit because all they offer are promises and payment up front.
Asif Zamir may have started off with lofty ideas of providing a low cost alternative to the retail stores, but he seems to have gotten sidetracked along the way into simply taking people's money in a manner that offers them no recourse outside of legal action and using it to take trips to the US.
If he does this 15 times, is it fraud? Does he have to do it 20 or 30 times? What constitutes a pattern? Presuming that Asif Zamir is a man of average intelligence, he knew well before soliciting money from Jakub, in June 2007, that his business had failed and to take any money from others would be simply an act of theft, because ethically, he would have to use that money to pay back one of the other people owed money.
This presumes also that he actually had any intention of providing goods for those who gave him money. The fact that he avoided all modes of payment that provided the "customers" with recourse indicates some forethought that if he did not meet his side of the bargain he would not have to reimburse the money.
Right now Asif Zamir may be advertising on the internet or in newpapers and getting new customers. My bet now is that he will not divulge his name because of this website.
It is obvious to all his creditors that Asif Zamir has no intention of repaying us. When will the only people able to stop him see that?

Bullshit email
Here's one of those bullshit emails from Asif Zamir that I referred to yesterday:
