Below is the email circulated to museums and libraries in the State. These predators are often friendly and seemingly trustworthy. "I had a long conversation with Melissa Brown and she wanted me to spread the word about the most recent archives predator. The gentleman who is pear shaped and uses a cane along with many aliases – Daniel Montbatten (with an English accent), Walter Payne (name he used for mail fraud), his real name is Witck but he spells it differently at times. His partner is Guy Jeffery from Barker, NY. They endear themselves to archivists and librarians claiming to be well known researchers and article authors, they steal valuable papers and then sell them on the internet. This is the person who so recently hit the Buffalo Heritage Center and had some important papers of the museum still in his possession. This is his business so to speak and if we get a photo I will send it along. Please pass this on to anyone you think would benefit. (Marie please send to Beverly ). When confronted by the police this person could see nothing wrong with what he was doing."
