As rev has said, we can't go posting personal information here (or PMing it to people), esp if that info is going to be used to harass the guy, no matter how much we want him to burn for what he's done. It sounds like this guy is a known scammer, and is potentially committing said scams across state lines using the internet. That falls within the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) and folks can report him on their website: https://www.ic3.gov/

After A Complaint Is Filed
Q: What happens after I file a complaint?
Trained analysts at the IC3 review and research the complaints, disseminating information to federal, state, local, or international law enforcement or regulatory agencies for criminal, civil, or administrative action, as appropriate.
Q: When will I be updated on the status of the investigation of my complaint?
After you file a complaint with the IC3, the information is reviewed by an analyst and forwarded to federal, state, local, or international law enforcement or regulatory agencies with jurisdiction, as appropriate. The IC3 does not conduct investigations and, therefore, is not able to provide the investigative status of a previously filed complaint. Investigation and prosecution is at the discretion of the receiving agencies.

we should all get together and put a class action lawsuit against him

@ReefinItReal88

you there?

You guys know his information is probably fake... his address, name, PayPal, email, everything. He probably doesn’t even live in the US. You can probably spend all you time searching for him, but he’ll just burn that info and start over. He’s also probably using a VPN to show you he’s here.
Sorry to rain on you guys, but this is probably the truth.
Keep everyone updated if he changes his name and try’s more crap. You can put a damper on his parade.

 

[Jake DiMeglio]

I understand where you are coming from. But there are basic tools are there on the internet to prove this.
I have his address. And some others so as well.

Expect we actually know his real name and I know people who've dealt with him in person.

Sorry this has happened to members here. Huge shoutout to @revhtree & the R2R mod team for jumping into action so quickly.

 

[smartwater101]

I don't think i posted in this thread before, and yet I had a notification for it. Why?

Sorry to the people who were scammed and i genuinely hope his info is legitimately his, so the authorities can take care of him.

But... what exactly is the point of this thread at this point? The bloodlust is getting ridiculous and makes everyone look bad.

Frankly this thread needs to be closed.

You can open a dispute on venmo to get your money back

 

[LouiseAC]

@revhtree

I think it was a broadcast notification so that everyone here was made aware of this individual and to take appropriate precautions.

Truthfully i wont do business if they wont accept paypal. As a seller of other hobby items i dont mind the fee as it can help protect both parties. It also only takes five minutes to set up an account. Rev good work. Guys that got scammed i hope this joker gets arrested. Sorry this happened.

Agreed. I only take paypal or a postal money order. I’ve been asked about personal checks and it’s a hard pass from me. If you don’t have PP it doesn’t take long to get a money order from the local PO.
