Karma has a way of catching up with wrong doers!

Waiting on the refund from GFM to come through and I'll push it to the new one.

If anyone hasn't started the process yet, it was fairly painless.

This guy scammed us for less $1000 ..... just blows my mind.

@revhtree Please check if this guy re-registers with a different username by IP address.

Rev's aware of the situation, let's not make this thread about him though.

Thank you all again friends and family...
With deep regret i am sorry to say this go fund me has been compromised.

but please use the go fund me donor protection plan to get back your donations
Sorry and thanks again friends...

What did you put on the form where they asked for "evidence"?

I just stated what Frank told me. He received part of it then the organizer ghosted everyone and he has not received the rest. I think they've received enough claims on this specific incident they aren't questioning it.

Yikes- Just saw this. These assumptions are very disturbing and unnecessary and again supports the mention of a given few who seem to b here to merely insult, mock and shred people who are here for the love of the hobby - Not to be tested.
Fishguy242 is well known and the last person I would regard as a scammer.

I could say more but this circumstance often warrants the monitoring by R2R staff who I trust
