Hi,
I know nothing about Gilbert Bland other than a few emails here.
Has someone called this person to verify the identity? Has someone
notified Ebay? If this guy is a serious problem, call the cops.
Don't wait for someone else to do it. Otherwise, all of this chatter
is gossip and fearmongering.

>> Dear Friends,
>>
>> It appears Gilbert Bland is stealing maps again.
>>
>> There is someone based in Maryland who is moving covertly about the
>> east coast selling relatively low end maps from government
>> publications via email under the name scframers. A dealer in
>> Colorado got suspicious and did some background checking and has
>> concluded that it is almost certainly Gil Bland. He is masked
>> behind a series of aliases, wrong phone numbers and similar barriers
>> to the discovery of his identity, but the case is fairly compelling:
>>
>> 1. Same type of material--primarly low priced government report
>> type material, but periodically better material.
>> 2. Working the east coast, but based in Maryland
>> 3. Also pursuing Scripophily (hope I spelled that right!).
>> 4. Mail order type operation.
>> 5. At least one deep search caused an even more direct connection
>> to Bland's prior business name.
>>
>> Not sure what the best approach is to tracking this down, but he's
>> using the mail, shipping interstate, so its a Federal offense.
