For those of you not aware of the situation Steviedezie (Steven Do) is currently MIA with over $700 of other forum members money.

For more information and to see how the situation played out please see the original thread
laserpointerforums.com/f55/community-focus-knob-group-buy-2-packs-left-62604-18.html#post936723

Stevie has just recently moved from

His full name is Steven Do

The last address we have for him is:

646 Balfour Dr
San Jose, CA 95111
United States

We do not know where he has moved to.

Here are some other sites where Stevie has been and may still be active.

Well heres my contribution. None of these have been active in the last few days at all but they are something to keep an eye on.

steviedezie on Xanga (Says from California)

StevieDezie or Steve for all u tards on Myspace - (uses similar language as others)

CandlePowerForums (Last activity in june)

YouTube - ‪steviedezie's Channel‬‏ (friend posted laser video so im sure its the same person)

YouTube - ‪katheeetard's Channel‬‏ - (I think girlfriend - might have used her account to upload laser video)

katHy NGuYEn (katHy) on Myspace (possibly girlfriend? Is currently active)

DotaCash - Take Control (some game account)


- Maybe you can try to contact him or figure out where hes at through one of those

His last activity on the forum was July 4th
http://laserpointerforums.com/members/steviedezie/

He has not returned phone calls or emails for longer than that.

Although I am not involved in this group buy I think it is important to get this resolved both to help our forum members get their money back as well as serving as an example of how this forum does not tolerate fraud.

if you have any ideas or knowledge that could help please post.

Update: This is Steven Do and his girlfriend Kathy Nguyen

I exchanged a few PM's with him a little while back. Waiting on a $70 flashlight from him for quite a while myself.

From what he told me, he had an accident, was in hospital and is now recovering.

I've dealt with him a few times, and he's always been a stand up guy. I don't think the current delay has anything to do with him trying to scam anyone. (I really hope...)

Unfortunately I also understand how people can be upset about not hearing back for a month.

He said he will work to get everyone's packages out, and feels bad about letting people down by disappearing, but he is still recovering from a very nasty accident. Hopefully we will hear back from him soon.

EDIT: From the thread it looks like bhwollen got the same exact info over the phone...

Last PM from him was 06-30-2011, 04:22 PM.

i havent been on the forum at all in about 9 days. I just got discharged from the hospital yesterday from an accident that occurred while i was moving houses... i now am in a wheelchair and got 3 metal pins sticking out of my foot. i was fixing the garage door when the chain broke and the door fell onto my foot

i feel bad for keeping everyone guessing and wondering but the when you got 2cc of morphine pumping in you every 90 minutes... you cant really sit there and try to organize things. My mom said that i had several packages come in, and i will start ripping through them and catching up with all my work. thanks for your understanding

Normally I wouldn't put another person's PMs out there, but I really hope this is all just an unfortunate situation that will be resolved well.

2cc's?? No wonder he hasn't been around. I'm hoping it was 2mg not cc. :)

I think the main cause for concern is that he hasnt returned phone calls or texts. The guys also found out that their order was cancelled due to his card having insufficient funds. I would think that having a broken foot or leg would make him more active if anything since hes obviously not out and about but just sitting around at home.

I HOPE I AM WRONG. I was defending stevie from the get go but everyday it seems more and more likely that theres something else going on. Also this thread is mostly with the intention of getting a hold of Stevie even if its just to get the whole story and get the group buy back on track.

He also has to know that the order was cancelled due to non payment and that is something he needs to explain regardless of injury.

I know what you mean. I'm a pretty patient guy, but now that I look back... I'm getting kind of antsy.

Really hope this whole thing gets resolved...

Morphine every 90 min? On a morphine pump? That is some very serious medicine with some even more serious side effects. I'm not saying it ain't so but I would wonder why somebody would be on this stuff with this injury at home.

Mom just broke her wrist in a bad fall and she got morphine in the hospital. They did send her home with some nearly as good, daladid (sp?), but she is a bit of a special case si ce she can't take most pain meds, since they make her extremely sick.

The only person I've ever known with take home morphine had terminal cancer.

I'm really not questioning Steve, but it looks bad. This can all be very true but it could have also put everyone at ease with a little communication.

I feel bad about posting the PM, but hopefully what he said in there is true, and he is just taking a while to recover.

In the other thread it seemed like a pretty bad but standard injury. From the PM, to me it seemed like more.

I'm not saying it can't happen and cancer is where Ive seen it used where things are not going to get better, comfort care. But, you would want to be off of that stuff as soon as humanly possible otherwise. Sounds like a really crappy unfortunate accident with his foot!

I worry that it was unforeseen medical expenses that caused his card to be low on funds and then it was just easier to disappear. I hope not but you never know.

^^ Me too.... no reply yet... Just a friendly "how's it going
I heard you broke your foot"

I worry that it was unforeseen medical expenses that caused his card to be low on funds and then it was just easier to disappear. I hope not but you never know.
If that was the case...(and I hope that's all it is) a man
would have stepped up to the plate and said so...

We as a community would have understood.... But..... Nothing...:undecided:
I hope he reads these posts and comes around to his senses
before it's too late... (if that's the problem)...

I agree with helios' theory, I believe I stated that in a different thread. Anyway the police should be getting back to me sometime this week with the investigation.

...I'm out $72 on a flashlight if he disappears on us. He sent it to me, but it wasn't working properly - bad tailcap, so I sent it back to him to repair. Last I heard from him is the PM I pasted above.

Jerry's right though, $hit happens, owning up to it would be the better, and in this case smarter way to go.
