Bryanmc · Apr 4, 2006, 03:51 PM

I'm sure he's not going to be around (at least with this name) but just wanted to be sure everyone knows that he's a scammer.

I lost $800 to this guy.

sledsbehave · Apr 4, 2006, 04:35 PM

it's only been 5 days since he last posted. how sure are you that is ripping you off?

Bryanmc · Apr 4, 2006, 05:36 PM

No communication since getting the money.

His PayPal account has been deactivated.

man, sounds like he's done this before.

i emailed him about this laptop and he said he send pics, but he never did.

Bryanmc · Apr 4, 2006, 09:59 PM

He sent me pics.

I wonder whose computer they really were.

I'm really in a bad place. I work for myself, have 2 kids and am VERY broke. I needed a decent laptop to be able to do more work and be with my kids more. I sold some stuff to get this and now this guy rips me off.

I guess this guy needed the money more than I did.

marissa · Apr 5, 2006, 12:37 AM

bryan,

i'm so sorry to hear that. i got scammed before too. i should have known better, but i hate that i even have to watch out for it. good luck.

b1NARY73 · Apr 5, 2006, 01:12 AM

Seems to be alot of scammers running ramapnt lately. I always ask for heat, or beerology refs, PAYPAL verification, etc, etc. I really, really feel for you mang. I am this way because of being scammed as well.

sledsbehave · Apr 5, 2006, 04:22 PM

i think you should post this guys name and city, state at least in the bad traders thread.

Bryanmc · Apr 14, 2006, 04:46 PM

Well this guy is not only a scammer, he's a really stupid scammer.

Just got notice that there were funds left in his account, and I got back $730 of my $810. I'm pretty darned happy, but there's no reason in the world there should have been funds left in his account. I can't believe that he left money in there.

I'm still mad you scammed me George, but I am thankful that you're a moron.

glad to hear it... these things don't usually end this well

Dailyplanet · Apr 14, 2006, 07:33 PM

Bryanmc,
I'm glad that you could recover some of your lost money. Could you share with us what steps you took after you found out he was a scammer? Did you notify Paypal? Just so that the rest of us know what to do in case something like this ever comes up (let's pray to God that it never will).

missingbite · Apr 14, 2006, 08:40 PM

With all this talk of scamming I feel bad that I never mentioned thanks to the last person I purchased from. So if he ever sells anything again, jfandem, is a great seller. I am also sorry anybody gets burned. Glad you got some money back. Maybe we could put a list of great sellers and buyers as a sticky?

I just filled a complaint with PayPal and they did their normal investigation.

i tried selling my gateway 8510 GZ on ebay, guy used the buy it now price, then wanted same day shipping. so i told him, when the money gets into my bank account, i will go ship it. luckily paypal took their 3 or 4 days to move it, but somehow it hit my bank account, then paypal took it back?
so i held off on going to ship it for another day so i could call paypal and see what the deal was, he had done one of those chargebacks or whatever, had i sent the computer, id be out 1300 and the only funding i have to buy my new powerbook. youd think they would have better security for such a large corporation. they didnt even know they had taken the money back out of my account....because they dont have the rights to do that.
