Thanks for the info!
 
Got a real name with the guy and where he's from? (Or did I miss it in there?) Thanks for the heads up Ed!
 
Thanks for the heads up....I wish folks could just be stand up.
 
Not to mention the video he has posted a link to here in our aircraft and marine that is on you tube even starts off with "Thanks Matty this ones for you"

I would have to say this scammer is one in the same, as the guy that ripped of Matty D on large scale forums.

I REALLY hate thieves!!!
 
Sometimes I wish one could just hire a group of junkies and have them beat 7 shades of poop out of assholes like this!
Nothing a baseball bat could not straighten out...
 
Its hard to believe a guy would post a video of himself using stolen or in this case not paid for merchandise. Can you say EVIDENCE.
 
How longs it take to activate a account at the baja forum? I did earlier today (Cuz you can't see the link without being a registered member) and I still havnt gotten the activation email..
 
i dont know the whole story but why would they send the items before they got the payment?kinda of odd
 
I guess he trusted him because he was a fellow "Military man"... Thats alot of trust for a $1400 item..
I still havnt gotten my verification email to that baja forum to actually read that thread and actually see the dudes name and such..
 
Thats a shocker! I have read some of his posts and he seemed to be an alright guy....Just goes to show you can never tell.
 
Thanks for the heads ups. Man these guys piss me off. But if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have a Job.
 
I've updated the first post with the users name, city and state. I've also posted recommended contact info if you've been scammed by this user.

Recon8541 has also been placed on a Perm. Ban - regardless if this user corrects his wrong doing he's not welcome here anymore.
