well you guys have a name & Address right?
I think between the 2 of you there is grand theft....and the fraud would constitute a felony......

I would recommend never sending blind MO or checks to people you do not know.....
 
Well, I think there's probably nothing you guys can do about it. But I would definitely take it as a lesson learned. NEVER send another person that you don't know a money order to pay for a transaction blindly, unless there's some type of recourse available. Always use some secured method such as credit card payment through paypal or bank transfer through paypal. That way, if something falls through and the seller rips you off, you can dispute it with your bank or credit card company. They will be so fast to give your money back to you. With money orders, it's so easy for the shady seller to take the money and run.

On ebay, if the seller has extremely high feedback and has a reputation for selling high dollar items and he's a powerseller, and still only takes money orders, then I would only trust as far as that. Even then, I would still be a little wary. But I think the moral of the story is to always use a buyer's form of protection such as credit card payment or paypal.

At least it wasn't an amount like $1,000 or $2,000.

looking for cash but thnks anyway

If you look back you can kinda see what he was doing but, if you didnt look into it to hard you wouldnt have noticed it. I know I'm going to look out more so i dont get ripped off, sorry to you guys, hope your deals go smoother in the future.Good Luck!
 
Did either of you use a Postal Money Order? If so, that's good for you. Wel, better for you. You have a chance to get your money back either way, you'll need to contact his Local PD first, then make sure you get all your proof together. You'll also want to file a complaint with the IFCC, and finally, if you used a Postal Money order, go to your PO, and ask to speak to a Postal Inspector. Good luck guys, and keep us posted.


BTW.... where is this guy located? Did he provide you with any fedback from anywhere? Ebay?
 
I emailed this guy before and he told me he races at the Hobby Hut in Adubon PA.That is where i will be racing next season.
 
I'll be there a few times this season too :hamster:

Mel*E*Mel, take it easy on the mods they are limited to what they can do. If you are going to send a blind money order you leave yourself wide open (not to be mean). madnking has not been on since Jan 19, and to be fair they need to get a responce from him. I even sent him a pm with a link to this and told him he needed to responed. I looked back in his posts and I think he did have a revo but have no idea why he would pull a scam like this on the members. You may want to pm Buncrana with the address of this guy he has a way off getting lots of info. Do you have a phone # for him?
 
Ryhton I asked him the same thing and he said he whould handle this him self ..

Mel words of wisdom there is more power in numbers .. Let us no whats going on>

this scum bag if I get a hold of his addy and phone # he will be done... so any one else that has been scamed by him please PM me with his INFO..MEL didn't want to give me the INFO NEEDED TO HELP ..

If he wants to handle this himself then why is he complaining about the mods not helping him. If he wants to handle this himself thats fine, but then he needs to watch what he posts.
 
i looked at the guys past threads and he was clean until now i guess zandor you almost bought something from him i think, his trading was clean until now i guess.

any one else that has been scamed buy this member please PM me his INFO...

Like I said ther is power In ###
 
Mel i would listen to zandor, and why wouldnt you want help in a situation like this not trying to beat up on u or nothin I'm just saying, but I'm not u so do what u want.
 
Zandor...your the man in my book...but like i said in the pm ...there isn't too much more that can be done here but wait for the IFCC to handle it ...
Ryhton...dude why are you pm'ing him with questions?.....what do you think we didn't do that already ? I mean damn man ! After someone stops taking calls and no responce to e-mails ...don't you think they know what they did ?
I'm not pissed about you doing that ...but it's just makes me think you don't think me or canespain are smart enought to do it on our own..
again...Zandor... :worship: Thanks

well Mel, we were just trying to help out and no one said you were stupid. If you are asking mods for personal info on this guy, then I don't think you will get it. There is two sides to every story and we only have yours so lets see what he has to say. In the future I would only use paypal if I were you. Its your deal deal with it as you feel. I wash my hands of it.

Two sides of the story?More like three sides...and you have two of them
Dude when the guy e-mails you "my roommate stole it the night before i went to send it out " 6 days after he called me and said he was sending it out ...to me sounds like a scam...And it really wasn't personal info ..it was just something to make sure he's posting from where he said he was ..
And trust me this was a learning lesson here about forum deals

Mel please cut and paste your email so we can see it ???Some thing smells here and we need to no what it is .. We need some Info on this so far madnking this is not looken good for you
 
Mel E Mel. FIrst off I did try to help you and sent you a PM concerning your "Important" matter. However you have all the information you need to file a complaint and take legal action. As far as that "Important" Thing NONE OF THE STAFF even the ADMINS are allowed to give that information out. You already know that you will have to wait. I am more than willing to help you out on this matter. If I need to get more Staff involved to help I will.

Sincerley,

Jon2
