Yeah, you'd think the con staff wouldn't want word getting around of people getting scammed there, but apparently that's not the case. Here's the exchange i had with them when I forwarded the complaint to them:

Please do contact him on my behalf then. As I had stated in my complaint post on LJ, he's been ignoring all my attempts to contact him. Maybe if it comes from someone with a little more clout, he'll actually pay attention to it.

Anthrocon does not involve itself directly in transactions between Dealerships and other Members. We will make a note of this conduct, however, as we evaluate future approval of Dealerships.
If desired, we can send the Artists-Beware link to Gideon and let him know of its existence, if you think that will be of benefit to you in receiving artwork.
