| Hello,
I feel obligated and justified to defend my credibility and to others that have crossed paths with mreed614 (Mike Reed). Researching I found that user ids Strickland111, mreed614, and crashdummy all share the same IP address. It has been confirmed with the runryder server as well as the e-mails that I have received. Mike Reed is behind all these names. For those of you who do not know what an IP address is; it is a ten digit number that is provided to a person with sign up. An IP number usually never changes. I really encourage everyone, specifically those of you who have dealt with Mike Reed, mreed614, crash dummy, strickland111, good or bad continue to read on, search on these names, see if you have received an e-mail or PM from these names trying to discredit someone. Believe me it will all start to make sense. By the way Mike Reed do not bother erasing any posts on any of your user names, I have them all backed up on my computers. Remeber Mike you can only blame yourself.
This is in no reference to Mike Reed, aka Optech, aka Michael Reed from Arizona.

After spending quite sometime investigating on runryder's Forum, I had a breakthrough. Strickland111, the one who is falsely accusing me of transactions that never happened, e-mailed me. Once I got his e-mail I was able to trace his IP address. Strickland111's IP address matches Mreed614's IP address. Looking into the situation even further I found that there is another user id on the same IP address which is Crashdummy. The person that is accusing me of false accusations and has done the same to others in the past. Mike Reed is under the user id of mreed614, Strickland111, and crashdummy. I had my suspicions about Mike doing this to me, but I was not positive. Tracing the IP address makes it 100% a fact that this is all the same person. If you do not believe me have Runryder tell you the same thing. Runryder will tell you that the user name mreed614, Strickland111, and crashdummy all have the same IP address. He has used these names in the past and present to discredit a users name to get what he wants. I know for a fact that he has done this to the following Individuals Argt, VarioMan, now me rickj202, and who knows who else.
You ask what motivates this type of behavior. It is someone who is obsessive compulsive, absolutely obsessed with helicopters or anything else. This guy is a loose cannon capable of just about anything. I first met mike Reed on the forum about 2 years ago. Mike posted an X-cell gasser on this forum that he was trying to sell. We spoke on the phone a couple of times negotiating a price for his X-cell. We could not come to any mutual agreement. I did not hold anything against him; he seemed like a nice person to deal with.
Lets start with Vario man. I spoke to vario man yesterday about his transaction with mreed614 (Mike Reed). He mentioned that it was not the best that he has experienced. Varioman was selling a complete vario benzin with everything RTR. Mike Reed wanted varioman to incur the shipping costs of the heli and ship the heli without payment prior to shipping. Mike said that he will pay for the heli once it arrives if everything checked out. Oh I also forgot to mention that he offered $500 less than what he was asking. Vario man mentioned that he was not comfortable with his offer. Time passed and more people became interested in purchasing the heli. Mike probably felt threatened at this point and said the heli was already his as posted. He then proceeded to sign in as a new user name under crashdummy to destroy Variomans creditability so that no one would purchase it from him. The only person that purchased from varioman was mreed614, the vario benzin is still in his gallery. Mike called varioman about a week ago asking how to set up the heli. He had it for almost a year and has never flown the heli. I honestly think he does not know how to fly a helicopter. Please follow link:

Time passes, meed614 posts his X-cell gassers and vario benzin on runryder trying to sell them and then he takes them off because he changes his mind then puts them back on continues this process many times wasting peoples time, using profanity and then deleting his post.

Recently, Argt was trying to sell his Vario Alloutte. Mike Reed was interested in purchasing the heli under the same terms that he offered varioman. Again having the seller pay for the shipping and paying for the heli once it arrives. Argt was not comfortable excepting his offer which is totally understandable. I wonder if mreed614 would do the same in return, ship a heli without payment. Anyways, other people became interested in the heli as well as one of my friends. Mike thought he had a deal with argt. There was no agreement, no money changing hands. Since this has happened argt had been receiving PM’s from crashdummy and strickland111 consisting of derogatory comments and mentioning that he should sell to mreed614.

I became involved because I purchased four Vario scale ships from Argt about four months ago. Again mreed614 wanted these helis. I told Argt that my intentions of purchasing all four helis are to sell two or three to recoup some of my cost. Argt was totally cool with the whole thing and was a great person to deal with. Time passed and Dakine posted a wanted for vario scale ships. We met in person; Dakine checked out the helis, watched me fly them and purchased two helis. Everything was great until mreed614 stepped in with his comments. Dakine at this point was second guessing our transaction; he called me and told me his concerns. I told him that I will do whatever it takes to make sure that he is happy with his purchase. Dakine has now offered a positive reference for me whenever buying or selling.
So Mike is trying to destroy my reputation. His last post “Warning
Hey Rick , you selling more of your used junk again and who are you
going to rip this time , what you see is not always what you get with this
member ,ask around with other members using PM about this seller.”

Of course people want to know more about a terrible seller. So they PM strickland111, he responds with negative comments refers the individual to another user, let me guess probably crashdummy and mreed614 same thing negative comments about the seller. Soon people will start to believe these comments, rumors start and it takes off like a wild fire. This is how I became involved I purchased a helicopter that he wanted.
I have noticed that Mike Reed is into everyone’s business wasting your time. Makes low ball offers to sellers, if the sellers do not except Mike Reeds offer he will then proceed to make derogatory comments saying that you’re a used car sales men or whatever. Same goes in reverse when he is selling. Someone will make him an offer and tell the buyer to take a hike.
You ask why I took the time to write this. As I mentioned before I take these accusations very seriously. I would like to regain my creditability with everyone within runryder. Who knows I might be destroying my reputation even more, but what do I have to lose. The other reason is that I encourage runryder users not to deal with people of this mentality and make this forum a better place to view. |
