This is not the scammers real name, simply another fake alias. I have the e-mail contact of a fraud detective with the Ottawa Police who is also working with another officer with the Cornwall Police and the Canadian Post inspectors who have told me they been investigating this for nearly a year. This scammer has used many different names, we were able to contact one of these names and apparently this guy pays off other guys to accept wires with their bank details. I became involved when one of my American friends was ripped off by one of his aliases and I have been working with other hobbyists to close in on him.
My guess this is an East European (Romanian, Slavic or Russian) crime ring working out of Ottawa, Canada. It's also clear that Cornwall which is a small Canadian city just serves as a false outpost. We talked to three different banks, and we will contact this bank. By searching one of the scammers e-mails I came to learn about two more victims who were burnt after receiving a fraudulent cashiers check from a gentleman in Cornwall, Ontario.
I was asked not to give out further more details because the scammer is most likely an avid reader of this forum. You may however forward me your details and trading references, in which I will provide the details for my contact with the fraud detective in Ottawa.
The case is closing in (we hope) after many victims have lost their wallets, hopefully in a short while this scammer will lose something much more valuable, his freedom.
