So, a Washington member scammed me...

[Mac_Fan]

Which mod do I connect with to try and get contact information to file a complaint with law enforcement? I bought some Daniel Defense fixed sights for $95.00. Once the funds cleared the guy went radio silent. No response to our "conversation ".

You are also welcome to convo me. All I can do is reach out to the member and try to see where things stand. As far as LE involvement.....$95 unfortunately isn't going to be enough to get their attention.

 

[Mac_Fan]

Kruel J, I'll message you in a bit. I'll link my conversation with him. Thanks for the reply.

Put there screen name on this site once you know they are scamming. So others can avoid the scum bag

We will do what we can, but putting someone on public blast isn't something we do here.

Then can you terminate there ability to be on the site?

Slow down there, we haven't even established what's going on yet.

If someone scams a forum member...
I urge you to report it to a Moderator or to Joe Link...

Please do not post the name of the scammer...this type of action could easily be abused and cause far more trouble than a scam , such as :
False accusations and bitter , divisive , back and forth "sniping" between members over an open forum

Let the staff know of the issue...we will look into the matter.

FWIW we had a similar situation last year. People wanted a head on a platter.

Come to find out the member in question had a really serious family emergency and when he returned from handling it he made good on the deal.

Calling for a witch hunt right away before the facts are presented.....well.....our own government has that covered.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I'm not laughing at the story about the member having family issues. I'm laughing at the government comment.

Just so the more sensitive folks here don't get all agent orange on me.

Wonder if this ties into the other days events for those that saw.
Hoping all this gets solved.

People do have emergencies that take them away for awhile. Keep an open mind until you know for sure.

I want to be fair to the guy. I've been reaching out to him for a week. I can see that he's been on the site , just not responding to me. If he would simply reply that he's been sick i'd Chill out. Trust me, I was reluctant to do this with fear that my package would show up tomorrow and I look like a D***. My gut tells me better though. Happy to resolve this with mods.

 

[Mac_Fan]

It appears that my concern is legit. I'll update as appropriate with site rules.

Okay, many happy returns!

And please let us know what happens...

I had a similar occurrence several years ago over some computer parts.
The guy had moved out of state and it took him a while to get his $it together.
When he did he made everything good.

And that's why you don't pay with PayPal using "friends & family"...
