In July of 2005 I contacted Ray Lago through his Website inquiring about him doing a commission for me on a blank Star Wars Heritage sketch card I had.
Ray was very excited to do the card for me and quoted me a price of $150 for a full-color sketch on my card. I sent him payment via Paypal and mailed the card off to him with insurance and tracking information. I tracked the package and saw that it had arrived so I began to wait for Ray's response. Over the next couple of months, I e-mailed Ray asking for an update and I got no replies from him. I e-mailed him numerous times over the next few months and still received no reply. After a few more months had passed, I finally got an e-mail from Ray (January 26, 2006). The e-mail was filled with excuse after excuse after excuse about why he didn't have my card finished. He then apologized and told me that I would have a proof scan within a couple weeks from him. I waited, and waited, and waited. After three weeks had passed, I e-mailed Ray again asking for an update on my card. I got no reply. At this point, I was definately starting to get worried about my commission. I would send Ray an e-mail once or twice a month inquiring about my card and all of my e-mails would go unanswered. On June 1, 2007 I was shocked to see an e-mail from Ray in my inbox. I opened the e-mail and got a sob story filled with more excuses from him about why my commission was not finished. He told me that June 2007 would be his "catch-up-on-long-overdue-commissions-month" and that mine would be done soon. That was the last time I heard anything from Ray. Ray Lago owes me $150 and a blank Star Wars Heritage sketch card or a finished commission. Unfortunately, almost 3 years later, I don't think I'll see any of it. I am not the only person that Ray has done this to, click HERE to hear from another person who Ray has stolen from.
