FEBRUARY 14th/2012 UPDATE:
Kijiji ad #354908321 Fred's Firewood phone number 449-7734 Formally advertising from 1326 Middle Musquodoboit (funny....same 1326 as Bissett Road - Arland Gave who advertises under multiples of names) has BBB WARNINGS, ALERTS and COMPLAINTS on file. Now advertising under HALIFAX. DO NOT BE FOOLED. He is counting on you not knowing the truth.
****************************************************** 
UPDATES FROM FEBRUARY 12th to Feb/15th/2012.


UPDATE FEBRUARY 12/2012:
We have received several Emails today in reference to ads posted on Kijiji and information that we feel should be added to this site. In all fairness to you, the reader ad consumer, we will be posting them as received. Please be advised that the content may in some way bother some. However, here we look at it as being the true people behind the reason for this website. It is important to know and understand that some people are playing cards with many of the card missing from the deck. This is obviously true from the author of the Kijiji Postings and other information that will be shared on the Sheriff's page and Updated areas taking in Complaints and Consumer Concerns. By the authors own wording, these will clearly spell out, both the calibre and the ability of reasoning, when it comes to being both fair and rational in reference to a complaint or inquiry. In reference to the ads copied and placed below, it is interesting to match all of the phone numbers with the BBB files and letter sent to us, and responded to us below.

It is not our policy to advertise for Kijiji or the ad posters in general. Nonetheless, what is important here is to know that all of these ads are basically the same person but done under many names and different writing as to throw unsuspecting people and consumers off. These are in response to the Kijiji ID  #'s that the letter from Allen and Susan inquired about. What is important is to check these ads with phone numbers listed and with complaints against on the BBB files enclosed below.

What I find sad here is that this individual hides behind a picture taken off of a computer ad for something else and pretends it is him. For me, the question is simple, 'HOW DOES ONE GET SUCKERED INTO TRUSTING AN INDIVIDUAL AS THIS? It is bad enough to play games on the Internet, but avoiding the real issues such as responsibility and integrity is something else. What I find amazing is that individual feels he is being treated unfairly. PLEASE NOTE his 2nd ad below where he feels/thinks someone is Bullying him. HELLO......is this the kettle calling the pot black? So, let's get this straight for the record. He operates under the many names and phone numbers dedicated to him in the articles and ads below. He has screwed countless people out of monies by short cording wood on deliveries and making himself UNAVAILABLE for comments and complaints. On top of that, he blames everyone while NOT TAKING the BLAME himself for the wrongs he has done. So, I appeal to you.....DOES THIS MAKE US WRONG FOR BRINGING THIS ALL FORTH SO THAT YOU, THE CONSUMER, CAN FIND A BIT OF PROTECTION IN KNOWING ONE OF TWO THINGS.
(1) HE DEFINITELY FUNCTIONS IN AN UNPREDICTABLE  MANNER AND FASHION, AND IN DOING SO, ACCEPTS NO BLAME FOR HIS ACTIONS.
(2) HE HIDES BEHIND NAMES AND FENCES SO THAT NO ONE CAN FIND HIM AND LEARN HIS TRUE IDENTITY.
And what is outrageous, he still has the audacity to advertise under the same names and some of the phone numbers as before with all of the complaints and BBB reposts against him. On top of that, he wants your business and expects you to trust him. SO PEOPLE......if you have a story....SHARE IT.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The below response from Kijiji to us is a clear example of just how CROOKED this individual is, how he perpetuates things as to how he wants them and on his terms as he sees fit. Let this be a WARNING of how this individual does, has and will conduct business while trying to sell you wood. Imagine the 'World As ARLAND and his PARTNER Sees It.' Business will be no different.

Why do you people condone these slanderous and threatening actions from this individual.
If Kijiji is supposed to be a community based facility and service, PLEASE TREAT IT AS THAT and THE FORMS OF ADS you allow to be posted. The above ad is way beyond the scope of anyone civilized and in their right mind.

I resent being referred to by another ad poster since KIJIJI gave me the name 'Wood Sheriff.'

Hello Frank Rhyno,

Thank you for contacting Kijiji Canada Community Support. I am so very sorry to hear about this and we thank you so very much for bringing this to our attention Frank. We have done our best to block the person behind these ads and we are very sorry this happened again. We do recommend escalating to police as this is a form of slander and despite our efforts to remove these ads and block the posting accounts, it is possible to circumvent our measures if someone is determined to do so. Again we have done our best to block this poster from using our site in future and hopefully by contacting police, they can help put a stop to this.

Once again, thank you for letting us know about this problem. I hope that your future experiences with Kijiji are much more positive and hope you have a great day!

Best regards,

Austin

Looking for the "real" address for Beacon's (aka Sonny's Firewood Services). We have gotten some good hints but not enough to accurately file the court paperwork.

We need his actual civic address (house number), not just area.

Thanks for your help!

YOU HEAR ALOT OF STORIES HERE IN KIJIJI (BE CAUTIOUS BECAUSE SOMEONE CALLING DOWN SOMEONE IS HIDING THEIR OWN SCAMS! WHEN BUYING FIREWOOD ELSEWHERE  




UPDATE/Feb/10/2012: PLEASE CHECK THE ORIGINAL LETTER BELOW MINE THAT WAS WRITTEN IN RESPONSE. My response was this morning Feb/10/2012 @9:22am.
Hi Allen;
I am not sure where to begin. You do pose many good questions. I am pleased that you found my site both informative and educational. I am sorry in a way my site made you cautious about whom to trust. Sadly, this is about educating the public on WHO NOT TO TRUST. As for the comments on and about Kijiji, in my personal opinion there are many issues there that do fail when it comes to protecting the public. Sadly, it is more of an open forum where anyone can do and say pretty well what they want no matter if it is true or not.

Now, to address the content issue you have brought forth, that does concern me. I have looked up the ID.#’s on the ads you bring forth and can refer you to section #8 on the old site as Sheriffs Reports and will say that these are all of the same author. Careful and misleading wording WITHOUT NAMES and LOCATIONS leave you, the consumer, lost in hopes of getting their trust through a multiple of many deceiving forms of packaging. There is no doubt these people are well skilled in the art of deceiving. If not, they would have not gotten away with it for so long. As for the others, there are a few more I viewed this morning that are also the same two people.

As for the jumbled information, when one chooses to use plagiarism as a form of their advertising format, and DO NOT have the education and ability to comprehend what they are re-writing or quoting, it becomes nothing more than a misleading bunch of words without content. That you will find is the case on the ads you quote above. Matching the phone numbers to the ads above on section #8, tells the story between BBB complaints and co-incidental info as their story is still about screwing someone over. My view is that the persons are finally realizing they should not have entered into the valley of death by chastising me for doing nothing wrong.

As for what Kijiji allows, only continued complaints from people as you and Susan MAY MAKE a difference. We have no control over what they will allow and tolerate. Much of what is posted on Kijiji pertaining to firewood is nothing more than people trying to find a way to take advantage of others as long as the seller is in control. There are probably a few honest ones there. However, if they are honest and sincere, they should be willing to post proper addresses, names, faces and methods of earning peoples trust. If not, and in my opinion, they are no better than the others.

You bring up the comment of content being a form of rambling. So True. However, what would you expect from people who DO NOT KNOW the product, and see others, as people walking about with a real live bulls eye attached to their face waiting to be suckered in by their proven methods. As for the addresses question you bring forth; this has been my argument with Kijiji from day one. The posting of fake addresses on ads, gives, and lends no protection to the consumer. And no – that is not normal in business. In business, it is important for people to know where you are and always be able to contact you. That is the true and honest sign of retailing and selling.

As far as the pictures posed in many of these ads, and several of the ones you quote above, these are drawn from paid picture sites, other Kijiji ads from across the different Countries, and copies from ads in magazines. These are there to paint a picture to draw on the greed and stupidity of people who want to believe we all live in a field of flowers and not reality. Photoshop and computers will someday be the ruination of the universe. As for cording palleted and binned product, I can old say two things: (1) it is a poor poor way to sell wood since there is no way to make an accurate cordage count. (2) Anyone selling in this form, bins or truck compartments will be the winner because it is one of the easiest ways to jiggle cord count. The only way to buy wood is tiered on the truck in piled cords or measure the truck box to verify before dumping that the box will hold what the seller says.

As for adding more to the site, it is too long now. However, I will think about it. And thanks for writing and reading my site.

Frank

Hi Frank-----or do I just call you Sheriff!
       I have spent about 5 hours on your main website and find it more than educational. In the process, I am needing wood but find that your site has made me very cautious on who to trust. My wife and I have spent about an hour on Kijiji last night going over your ad and about 10 others. I am confused on much of the content offered on several of them beginning with ad number 353379549,, 349606688,, 352983334,, 351228630,, 352973313. there are others but since these are on the top ads list like yours they draw more attention. I find the info offered in these are jumbled and misleading as to what a person should be looking for when it comes to buying wood.  I also note that many of these numbers are also in the report that is in section #8 in Sheriff Updates. If these are there and there are multiples of complaints registered, why are they advertising their goods on Kijiji? I find the ad #352973313 as words and comments out of your original site pertaining to the breakdown on British Thermal Units totally confusing and without any detail in content. I know from reading your site that there is more to it than that. Are these people this crooked that they cannot think for themselves?

As for the content overall, my wife and I feel that of the 7 ads we did pin point, are two or three of the same persons. Is that a policy that Kijiji does allow? Isn’t that a form of false advertising in some sense? I find the amount of rambling between the ads very deceptive and all in all, somewhat lacking in the ability to bring forth a true picture of what is offered. We have tried to check on the addresses and cannot find nothing for any of them. Is that normal in your business?

Having read your ad and studied your website, I do agree that no one should buy from or even consider purchasing from anyone who does not give full details such as proper names and phone numbers, proper addresses and yard so that persons can inspect the operation. We comment you for that. Furthermore, where do these pictures come from? I know these are not the products being sold as they appear. BTW, on the palleted and binned product, how does one actually cord this? A lot of these are questions I find is not in your site. Perhaps you could investigate that and make a report for those of us who want to purchase smaller amounts.

Thank you for your time.
Allen and Susan XXXXXXXX

Feb/03/2012 UPDATE:
Hello! The following is a reply to your "Firewood dishonesty. Remember, hardwood is also firewood." Ad on Kijiji:


From: concerned_citizen@yahoo.ca
YOU SHOULD REALLY RESEARCH ARLAND (COW BAY AREA OF DARTMOUTH) WHO'S YARD IS AT THE BOTTOM OF BISSETT RD. I know the city and government have been trying to get access to him for some time. He does not post within his community as he rips everyone off. He posts a pager number (902) 458-5314 but calls everyone with private name/number. Inside scoop is that he can be reached at (902) 441-8268. He does hire labourers but pays under table to avoid workers comp and taxes. HE REALLY NEEDS TO PAY FOR RAPE TO CANADIAN FORESTRY (Our-land not Arland) as my research noted that he is not a registered buyer as well. He uses a yellow cab, green box straight truck for delivering lengths and a white & red cab sterling dump to deliver firewood.

Truly,

Concerned.

You can respond to "concerned_citizen@yahoo.ca" by replying to this email.
****************************************************************
The below information is a result of the Email above. Please note the phone numbers and names in the block below. Then, drop down to the phone numbers listed below and compare them. It is amazing that this man really expects people to trust him now that he operates under my old name of 'Frank's Best Buy Firewood' and many of the enclosed with ads posted without names and proper locations. At present, he is running about 7 ads on Kijiji and all from the Center of  the Barrington Street location and other areas as if living and running a business from there. Also, note the info further below posted on January 27th/2012.

FURTHER January/27/2012------------------WITHOUT PREJUDICE--------------
THE FOLLOWING ARE OTHER NAMES TO BE WATCHFUL FOR SINCE MANY ARE, AND WERE USED WITHOUT PROPER CONTACT, LOCATIONS AND BUSINESSES THAT CANNOT BE FOUND OTHER THAN ON KIJIJI. They are also linked to the below names.
These can be found by going to the Registry of Joint Stocks files and look under search by the WORD (firewood). It is literally amazing.

And the list on the Registry of Joint Stocks site this morning clearly shows the number of names revoked for non-payment and non-existent.  These are the people that you are being asked to trust on the Kijiji ads. You do deserve better. My previous name is now in the control of people like this. What has come to my attention is the name Arland Gave at 1326 Cole Harbour Road/2254 Cow Bay Road also using the address of the same. It is worth the visit and definitely worth seeing from where they operate from before speaking with anyone using the name Frank's Best Buy Firewood or any other name. I STRONGLY SUGGEST NO ONE deal with the person and persons now in charge of this name.


POSTED: February/03/2012. To save time, all future postings (unless considered as urgent) and reference personal comments will automatically be placed in sections  #2/#3/#8 & #9. For the record, we are in the process of compiling a 'Complete Consumer Watch List' pertaining to all wood sellers carrying on  and conducting business in the Province of Nova Scotia. When complete, it will be fully posted, phone numbers, areas and BBB ratings in its entirety, including current advertising formats and info in relation to any and all other advertising sources that we have found. We will also be updating this files and records with current info from the BBB Searches, The Registry Searches, and through YOUR COMPLAINTS, as brought forth to this site. To avoid any conflicts of interest, I will be turning the investigation department over to other colleagues who will be pursueing these matters on a regular basis and making the postings public.

Due to how the Domain name and site is registered to me personally; regardless of name, the site will show as how it is listed. That will not change. In view of all of the facts and occurances involving myself, business and names involved; and since my name had been taken from me by a well known scammer, we have decided to make all references to and through that name whereas the Domain is registered under that format, and in the process, limit my comments to strickly fact based on truth.

Thank you for your patience.

It is worth the visit and definitely worth seeing from where they operate from before speaking with anyone using the name Fran's Best Buy firewood or any other name. I STRONGLY SUGGEST NO ONE deal with the person and persons now in charge of this name.

Hello! The following is a reply to your "FIREWOOD SUPPLIER (MUST ABIDE BY FOLLOWING GUIDELINES)" Ad on Kijiji:

From: concerned_citizen@yahoo.ca
Hello,

It sounds like you were an unfortunate customer of Arland (aka Don,...many other names & numbers) He lives at the bottom of Bisset Rd (Cow Bay in Dartmouth area) and would not share that with any customers...will not supply to his neighbours or post numbers in his area. His pager number posted on signs is (902) 458-5314 but his house number is (902)441-8268! You're welcome and I hope you get him and his mom! He's not even a regisitered buyer for wood products (unlike Barrett or Good Wood Fuels)!

You can respond to "concerned_citizen@yahoo.ca" by replying to this email.

January/23/2012 Q &A to Email (now posted here)Received this morning. (URGENT)

Hi Mr. Wood Sheriff. I am from the Sackville area and found an ad on Kijiji with someone offering wet soft wood for sale in our area. The kijiji number is ---------------(I have removed this)
 They offer the wood at a reasonable price.
 This would save us fees in delivery.
This person offers a method of drying by a Dehumidifier.
 Is this possible?
 Is this a way to get dry wood this time of year?
You can reach me on Email return or 902-864(I have removed this number and contact info).
I love your site. Fantastic info.
John S.


Hi John;
I would like to thank you for contacting me. However, I will answer this as simple as I can. Conifer Trees (Larch Tree or from the Larch Family) or like any numerous coniferous trees - the genus larix - all having the same thing in common, as deciduous needle like spurs, or needle like leaves so to speak, do not lose the sap in the winter as do LEAF BEARING TREES OR SHRUBS. Trees, such as fir, spruce, the pine family in general, hemlock and cedar, all fall in this category. The only one excluded is the Hackmatac. It is like the hardwood in this aspect whereas it does lose the needles as the sap goes to the roots. The simplest way to define this is that ANY GYMNOSPERMOUS tree, or shrub that bears cones, or has a make-up of cone formatted seedlings, is from the above tree family.

In response to your questions, I will answer them as simple as I can. This is a very poor and stupid practice unless YOU ARE SKILLED in the process and have the correct place to perform it. In the house or car garage is not it. First, and personally, I do not care what the price is. It is greener wood than hardwood for this time of year. Delivery fees should not be the concern. As for the drying procedure, unless you are opting to do this in a HEATED AREA above the temperatures of 55 degrees Fahrenheit, you will find that it will be IMPOSSIBLE to keep the Dehumidifier from freezing up. This in turn can cause overheating on the unit and a possible threat of fire. This is because you will be removing too much moisture from the air in the process  in a cold temperature atmosphere. On top of that, one must consider the TAR BASED DRYING smell that will emanate through the house from the softwood. This can also do damage to your machine. The tar base is not PRESENT in HARDWOOD. As for the safety on the issue, I do suggest contacting both the Fire Department for advice, your electrician, and your Insurance Company to make sure your home insurance will cover this form of outright negligence.

January/21/2012 Update Postings
*****************************
Letter of complaint received from Ed and Heather (-------------)Simpson: the last name has been changed to keep their privacy out of print. However, the letter is from them and is printed as received. I DO STRONGLY SUGGEST READING IT CAREFULLY IN THE COMMENT SECTION #9.
ALSO, THERE WILL BE A COUPLE OF MORE UPDATES THAT ALSO SHOULD BE CHECKED OUT.  Posted by Frank/January/21/2012.

"MANY PEOPLE RIPPED OFF - BEWARE OF FIREWOOD SCAMMER 401-5198" 
On Sept. 26/10 we responded to an article on Kijiji from/ This story has been moved to section #9 where it is placed with other developing updated issue. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Further UPDATE:
I have just posted another example of the article this individual has placed on Kijiji about me, while attacking me under the form of character assassination. Please check it out.

JUST IN UPDATE JANUARY 21/2012:
After discussions with the R.C.M.P. last night in Cole Harbour, it has been verified that there is a suspicions wood operation functioning as a vague business from Bissett Road off of Cole Harbour Road. We have now downloaded the mapping area and have noted this as a 'PLACE OF INTEREST' and suggest the updated articles from Ed and Heather be followed, compared and continued through all of the Kijiji correspondence and added comments. 

On a 'WITHOUT PREJUDICE' basis, I do suggest that this location on Bissett Road be looked into by anyone who has been cheated, burned, scammed, and/or had dealings with anyone that could not be tracked down through Police, The B.B.B. and with your own personal attempts to follow up on any individuals selling, that sold and/or delivered them wood. Who knows, perhaps a visit may reveal more than you think. On the other hand, a face to face could get you the information you finally needed to take the individual that you needed to court.
*********************************************************************************


January/20/2012 POSTINGS:
Please go to Section #9 to the Comment Section for the latest updates on Complaints and Kijiji issues. I find this latest bumbling misguided bit of intelligence to the ad I placed as an insult to all of the people in this or any other Province in Canada, buying wood from KNOWN advertising SCAMMERS on Kijiji. and as the old song goes, 'We've Only Just Begun.'
*********************************************************************************

January 17/2012 Update:
********************
Please take notice of  new additional information now posted on the Home Page in reference to an issue dated January 17-2012 through contact with one of the Scammers of Wood Sales and updated references to Kijiji going on in the H.R.M area and Province of N.S..

Further to that, please check in the Comment Section #9, for some updated references on the same individual. I am looking for your story if you have been scammed. There are several of us who want this person out of the business once and for all. It will be my goal to make public your story, all of the associated names he has used in the past and present. Please contact me thru the below posted Email. DO NOT LET THESE PEOPLE OFF whereas the BBB and Police can do nothing at this point in time.

Thanks you.
Frank
