Hi, I need to bring this to the attention of the community.
There is a a person who is running scams on Craigslist for G.I Joe toys in the NYC area. He has show that he lurks on the tank and claims to be a member. I apologize in advance for the long read. The what. In the following thread that was located in the vintage section a tanker who is not to blame shared with the community a couple Craiglist listings. One was for a MISB Flagg for 425$ or OBO with free shipping. To good to be true? Yep it was and I will get to that. Also worth mentioning the seller had pictures of the box in his add. Here is the link for the thread where all of the discussion on the scam was located before it was deleted/held http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-too-much.html So I contact the seller and after we agree on a price and shipping arrangements he sends me a paypal invoice. I then pay. Here is where the nightmare starts. The thread as you can imagine had created a lot of buzz. Various tankers came forward and posted that he had tried to sell them the Flagg too. In fact he actually did sell the Flagg to me and another tanker on the same day. I have pm's and email to support this. The icing on the cake came when another tanker found out and provided proof that the scammer was using pictures from completed Ebay listings in his Craigslist adds. I put in a dispute with paypal and 10 minutes later he provides them with a fake tracking number. He emails me that he did that to delay the dispute process. Well the joke is on him, paypal sees that its a fake tracking number and then rules in my favor the next day. So I'm sure you guys are thinking but Dave why list this here, this happened outside the Tank? The answer is simple. He is lurking on the Tank and is trying scam members and he claims he is a member of the Tank. This is the email addy he responded to my inquires through Craigslist [email protected] under the name benola gilbert. I can tell you the name benola gilbert is stolen. He used the same email address with a couple other different names, while communicating and taunting members of the hisstank that he tried to scam. I must have really pissed him off because he started sending out emails to other tankers trying to pretend he was me. He changed the name to David. S, but used the same email address. The other email address and name I have is from the invoice he sent to me through paypal. Jason Berry (The recipient of this payment is Verified) Email: [email protected] Mods since the guys claims to be a member of the tank I hope your looking into it. I will be happy to provide any more information you need. Pm's, email, etc. Hisstank community be careful please. Last edited by DaveViper; 06-02-2012 at 03:25 PM.. Reason: grammer |

CONSOLIDATE LIST MADE FROM: Bad Traders (Buyers/Sellers) List
AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST>>>>Send me a PM and I will send you the list. Please do not hate on me for making this list. I tried to make as accurate as I possibly could. I did not add anyone that actually responded and made things right in the end. I just wanted to make it easier for folks that are active in the trade community. A lot of folks kept posting for an actual list, so I made this one. Last edited by nerdsgetchicks; 06-10-2012 at 08:36 AM.. |

No...It is from the list on here. I revised the title so it wasn't confusing.

I took folks off the list that had things resovled. It may not be perfect, but we do need a consolidated list somewhere. Mods can take it off if you want. I was just trying to make a list of the consistently bad traders. Maybe a list that had a reference back to each thread post would be better. I don't know. If you want LODY, you could go back in the thread from post 1 and check the list. Last edited by nerdsgetchicks; 06-10-2012 at 08:31 AM.. |

IDK
I think it's up to the individual user to do a search on this thread, see the posts and then make a decision. Reason I say that is because I see names on there that really shouldn't be there... |

Just an update to this story, he (crunk30) provided me a fake return address and I had to fax paypal my mailing receipts. Today, 6-19-12, paypal gave me my money back. It only took 28 days to resolve. Word of advise, Never, ever, deal with crunk30. Last edited by goldendeedsofman; 06-19-2012 at 06:07 PM.. |
