Open letter to the Hisstank member who stole my money.

[genoneguy]

I recently bought a carded PP Officer, diver Baroness, Parka Snake Eyes, and Tiger Force Flint from a Hisstank member. I sent him a money order, but accidently deleted the e-mails I exchanged with him so I don't remember his name. I paid $45.00 or $50.00 for the 4 figures. After I sent the money oder, I never heard from this particular Hisstank member and I never recieved my 4 figures. Thanks for stealing my money whoever you are and try not to spend it all in one place.

[Gunzlingr]

I Hate to hear storys like this cus i put my trust in alot of tankers and sent money out and so far nobody did me wrong.

I hope this issue gets resolved or you Get your figz - Good Luck

[ladyhump]

How long ago was this?

[Roadblock Recall]

it's your own fault

[polyphenus]

Do you have copies of sent PMs and emails? Maybe you can find the address there...?

[RolandofGilead]

Trusting someone isn't a fault. It's just unfortunate when it comes back to bite you on the ass.

i make lots of trades and purchases here, I trust every person I deal with. That doesn't mean I'm going to erase all evidence of communication with those people, and not keep the only evidence of payment. Trust only goes so far, anything beyond that is just stupidity.

[errantentertainment]

There are so many avenues to follow here. You have PM, Post, or emails to fall back on. You have the receipt of the MO with said recipients name/addy. There has got to be a way to track this person down.

Honestly, you should try going through Paypal or Google wallet or something other than MO so you have at least some recourse if this stuff happens. If you had used Paypal you could have gotten your money back if the seller didn't have proof you received your product.

I sell toys on comiccollectorlive.com and always use a deliver confirmation for this type of circumstance...

[coola784]

im sorry to hear about this bro, thats terrible, all of us here can aurgue all we want about dumb crap but stealing someones money is not cool at all. have you tried checking your email account since all your messages go threw you email from hisstank? you should try checking your garbage mail and you just might find the guy.

i hope you end up getting your figures though. sometimes people are just bad with communication. good luck to you.

[errantentertainment]

also try checking your sent items email that one is easy to overlook.

[COBRACOLLECTOR]

I hope this is a mistake

and it gets worked out

Cus this is not the palce 4 this
i really luv the tanks Honesty level and if we loose that the tank wont be the same place ever again

[Silent Ninja]

it's your own fault

His fault that he got jipped!? The fact that he can't contact the member is besides the point! I had a run in with a bad tanker who's name I'd rather not mention (CORNBOT) who's communications I kept and repeatedly contacted, to no avail! He never sent me my stuff! Its never the
other persons fault! Not in those circumstances. Perhaps you meant something else, in which case you should be more specific.

It's his own fault that he doesn't have the contact info. Since he allowed that to happen, he allowed the person to jip him. It's his own fault.

This is equivilant to standing in a crowded airport with people walking in every direction, holding out a wad of cash, and closing your eyes. Then with your eyes still closed you say, "here you go, take this money....but bring me something back" an hour later, you open your eyes and expect the random stranger who grabbed your cash to be there for you.

Ok, so by your own logic, you're saying that if he had saved the contact info he would not have gotten jipped? That's what I'm gathering. Bottom line is that its besides the point. Contact info or not, its not his fault he got jipped. Sorry about the loss brotha. I know exactly how you feel!

[vadersquest]

Keep it cool guys

[Jism83]

Keep it cool guys

yeah i dont get it. guy comes on here hopeing to find this guy or get some help and then he gets flaimed.

[vadersquest]

The bottom line is this: The only mistake he did was not keeping up with the info, it,s not his fault that the other tanker fled with his money. I would remind everyone to A-always keep a record of the transaction B- try to use a service such as paypal if the transaction goes south. Keep it civil or I will close this thread down in a heart beat. No flaming, period!

[chopsooie]

I been screwed on Hisstank also. I have sent the seller about a zillion e-mails,but the seller just wont reply throygh e-mails. This was a trade, so no cash exchanged, but still we should be able to trust our own...However I accept death as an excuse..
Chopz

[Silent Ninja]

I'm always cool partna, just trying to back him up.

[vadersquest]

I know it,s frustrating when this happens but remember, there's a ton of tankers I would trade with in a heart beat and a few are posting here. This community is solid but like all communities, there will be a few bad apples. It just sucks that he found one.

[spacemonkeymafia]

Roadblock he accidently deleted the e-mails. Thats what happens when you have an accident it means YOU DIDNT MEAN TO DO IT!!!! Yes he should have keep records...yes he should have not deleted the emails...but you dont have to be so mean about it.........Damn!!! Remember while your judging people someone is judging you........and you dont have to kick someone when they are down dude..........



OP Im sorry this happen to you and the guy or gal you mad a deal with should be nice enough to do the right thing.......

[scifinut999]

sorry to hear that you diddnt get your figs i do hope everything works out

[CG76]

That sucks. What can be done at this point?

[bram1216]

I had aa trade go bad with a fellow tanker.Sent out 3 vipers and a hiss driver,when wave 7 first hit.I got nothing in return.He stopped responding to emails or logging on at all.I kept his info and pm's....so what?I still got the shaft.It happens.99.9% of tankers are stand up people.F.Y.I the trade was with CUTTERS

Cutters sucks and he owes me a Stinger

[Silent Ninja]

That sucks. What can be done at this point?

unfortunately not much. You can file a report at your local police department and one with the police department for his jurisdiction if you at least have a city and state. There's also www.ic3.gov, I believe it is. U can file a report with them online and if there have been enough complaints on a subject, perhaps an investigation could be launched.

[gunslingercbr]

my practice is to deal with people who I recognize. if a guy has a low post count, I'm not exchanging anything straight-up unless they send first, and payment will be made through a method in which I have recourse, like paypal.

I may be a jerk at times, but I'm here all the time, so more than likely, you can trust me.

[Skyhawk]

Well, if with any luck, the other guy will be reading this and feel compeled to pay him back, or send him what he paid for.

To the one who has not responded, if your scared just man up and do whats right. If not, you the same kinda looser that stole my Jos when I was 9.

Thats sucks this happened. Even if he had all the info it still my not do any good. Just hope that he mans up and does what is right....

But I will agree, don't relentlessly pummel someone that they did something stupid, nothing good will come from that. I'm sure we all have done a stupid at sometime in your life....

[Barefoot Jedi]

I am SO relieved that my ARAH collecting is, for the most part, done so I'll need not rely on selling/trading and can focus on retail.

No other collecting community I am a part of is as bad as Joe for shady dealings. I'd say 1 out of every 4 transactions I've had have been messed up in one way or another. I have dealt with some good honest people but it seems there is a higher concentration of unscrupulous people who collect/sell/trade Joes.

[Roadblock Recall]

yes, he got ripped off. The guy who allegedly did this to him is scum.

That doesn't change the fact that he should have saved the money order stub, and saved the PMs and emails....it's just common sense, especially if your memory is bad enough that you don't remember who you were talking to. Who's fault is it that those things are no longer available to him?

Fact is, if he did have those things he would be able to either contact ther person or warn everyone else that the guy is a dishonest person. Perhaps then the guy would feel compelled to fix the trade, rather than having his reputation tarnished. But the starter of this thread doesn't even know who's reputation to tarnish.

[sharke]

all I've gotten out of this is 4 pages of people arguing with Roadblock Recall.

sucks genoneguy, hope things turn out for the best

[Duffmann]

LOL, i agree with sharke.

I fell for you man and maybe the guy who ripped you off reads this and feels bad and sends you your items. Good luck to you...

I Kinda agree with RB Recall. This story would be different for me if a guy said " I paid this guy named X and as much as I contact him I don't get paid..." However, to say I paid some guy who I can't name and have no idea who it was... Doesn't sit well with me. Something is off here.

Did this really happen? I don't mean to question the source, but I know a little about banking. You know where you purchased the MO and you can have them track the serial number and determine where it was negotiated. They can probably provide you a copy of the negotiated item. This would give you the name you wrote it to an account number and financial institution where it was negotiated through. This would be easy enough to do. So why are you not doing it? Sorry... IMO there are some phony stories that people make up for discussion points. This one just doesn't seem right to me.

[MLos1]

I bet mainframe or dial-tone could track this theif bitch down.
