The thread you linked was last year. We already banned the reported scammer. Will investigate though if there are new accounts.

Alright, thanks. I suspect that he either has people helping him or has at least one more account because I asked him how he came across the "For Sale" ad that I had up for some other fish, and he said that he found out from some of his friends on MFK.

Hey man, does not mean you are dumb by any means, just means this jerk took advantage of a good person. Knifegill shipped my a fish before payment and after I got it I sent him a payment, same thing...different outcome. I would have prob bought that guy from you had i known you were selling him.

Ya, I know that most people will be good about paying for stuff after receiving it, but I'm not going to take chances in the future. I was going to list the little RTC soon, but the poor little guy is dead now...

Yes sir... "practice makes perfect" (just not the right way all the time ;( )




I think things like this has happened to all of us (most atleast)

There is an old saying I like to say "Fool me once, shame on you... Fool me twice, shame on me" :D

I don't wish bad things on people like that but Karma always finds you. I also believe now that lots are struggling, there will be more reason to "take care of your own"

Maybe I'm venting a lil but your the bigger man for posting something like this when you have his address haha. I still struggle with "revenge" :naughty:

I figured that it would be best to post that information in order to prevent others from falling for this trick even if he uses a different name and the same phone number and/or address.

Shipping out goods before receiving payment? I don't care if you've never been scammed before and like trust everybody, common sense will tell you that's a no-no :duh:

Ebay 101 ;)
 
Im sorry that happened to you and thank you for the heads up, that guys been trying to get some things off of me too... but thats not gonna happen now!
 
UPDATE: He's still viewing the classifieds on here somehow. He sent me a message via Gmail chat about seeing this warning.

Mods, is there any reason why the entire classifieds section can be viewed without being a member? It seems like restricting at least the "MFK Marketplace: Buy and Sell" and "Singapore Marketplace" to just members might prevent further people from getting scammed.
