[OM] Warning. Beware of 'yeti'

Hello all.

During the last year I have become aware of at least three cases where
this Portuguese/Norwegian Olympus collector (name: Paul-Laritz
Amundsen) has made debts which have remained unpaid until now. This
might only be the 'tip of the iceberg'...

Recently I also became a victim of his irresponsible way of bidding at
eBay, which cost me $100. His feedback there shows that I am not the
only one who suffered from his behaviour.

I feel reluctant about dishonouring another person, but I also feel
that he has disgraced himself towards unsuspecting people. Reason
enough to issue this warning: be prudent when doing business with him.

ps. This is what I wrote to him:

>You outbid me at eBay on the Olympus Tokyo No. 2992 Camera (item

>The seller kindly offered it to me, but because of your behaviour I

>you had refrained from bidding.

>IMO this is worse than shielding or shilling, and I want you to know
>that you are in my debt for $100 now. 
>Please add this debt to the list of other debts you owe already to
>other confident sellers throughout the world (among them a few of my

>I feel it as my obligation to warn the Internet Olympus community
