Thanks Vince

I swear there are folks that lay in bed, beat their knuckles against the headboard, staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night, wondering how to beat you and I out of our money. Too bad they can't put that same energy into doing something productive.......as in getting a job or learning a legit skill to earn what they need. 

No, they want to take the easy way out and try to scam others out of their money. 

Thanks for the heads up Vince. Folks like this won't be stopped until they're in jail, or someone takes matters into their own hands and does something drastic.

Are you SURE about this?

I just logged on to the other place and checked "chopperlover". He's been on since March 16, only has 3 posts so far and doesn't have any bio or profile info up yet, far as I could tell.

There doesn't seem to be a way to search for a particular member's content over there, and I was only able to pull up two of his listed posts. Neither one mentioned trade items.

So...are you absolutely SURE about this assertion?

These folks expend as much if not more energy and effort to scam you than they would doing something honest....I don't get it.

I guess you  got a point.....

[AC Norton]

........guys like that usually get it,,,and I mean get it, in time. amazing how months, if not years later they attend a meet somewhere, and, someone there knows who they are and what their antics have been in the past.....things can happen and rapidly, if you know what I mean......the Ace....

[disabled modeler]

Thanks Vince buddy....shame some people think they have to be like that...must have no self respect let alone for anyone else...nothing but a common burglar in the end in my book.  There day will come.

[mikemodeler]

Thanks for the heads up Vince. It might be of use to notify the admin at the other forum of this guy's antics, maybe they can boot him off of there too!

I sent Jim Haught an email earlier today.

[vintagedragcrazy]

Thanks Harry I hope we get this guy stopped from scamming people out of their money and kits but the bad thing is he will just move to somewhere else. If it wasn't for this board thoug my buddy saw the name here and caught on to him fast cause he almost got him.

If he is in the US, Pay by US Postal Money Order.

If you don't receive the purchase after a length of time

Contact the Post Office

They WILL get either the item, or your money back

besides Arresting him!!

 

I ONLY use PMO's for purchase

evilbay sellers who do not accept them, do NOT get my business!!!

 

Of Course, I can Not buy outside of US & Canada, but...........

Perhaps you're not aware PayPal has a "pay AFTER delivery" option, AND a money-back guarantee if you're ripped?

I haven't lost a nickel since 2003.

I too have never lost money using PayPal. I've had very good luck with their service over the years.

[vintagedragcrazy]

Yea I broke one of my rules if I don't use PayPal it postal money orders only and he talked me into moneygram from Walmart or western union cause he needed the money fast car broke down and had to go to his chemo treatments you know pulled the heart strings and I fell for it. Funny thing is the night so called chrome and moonshine posted that everyone's stuff was on its way I was texting him he said he was in the hospital and needed $40 for medicine and if I could send him the money he would send me 10 resin funnycar bodies. At that point I was worried and said no that maybe in the future and boy I was glad I did that and the four kits that he was getting we're not leaving till I saw something for the fifty I sent him so im lucky I put them back on the shelf unlike some of the guys who lost their stuff.

[mikemodeler]

I'm sure model kits aren't the only ruse this POS is using to scam people out of money, people like him tend to run multiple scams on different items because they get greedy.

I am chopperlover over there, and I am not out to scam anyone, I offered a built up 69 Ford galaxie I have for a reasonable price. To a member over there, mchale I think his name ws, he was looking for one or more, I had a builtup and offered it to him. I have no idea who this drdevil is, but it sure as heck aint me. You really should check your facts before making false reports and destroying someone's credibility. I guess what I've heard about this place is true, sa for that matter too. Maybe I should just stick with some others.

Wrong. That is not my email. I have 2 email account, both are the same, one is yahoo, one is google. Not posting them here, but happy to send you a email to prove it. PM me your own email and I will respond. This is a bunch of bs.

You're being very passive-aggressive, when in reality, you should see why this is being posted. These guys got burned for hundreds of dollars from this DrDevil, so they'll do what they can to stop him.

If someone assumes you're this DrDevil, and you come over to this site and act aggressive, it probably won't help your cause. Anyone can make an email address. I'm not suspecting you're him, but you're not really proving you're not either.

You registered almost the same day as DrDevil, have 6 total posts (4 before these), no proof of your legitimacy, so the bashing of this site won't help you, especially when you should be peacefully trying to prove you're not who they claim you are.

SO...I'm not saying you are this accused scammer...but maybe trash talking the site is not the answer.This is normally when someone would message an Admin and clear up their story and ask for the thread to be removed if his story checks out. Just my $.02

 

[Classicgas]

So what proof do you want? That nutcase is in a complexly different state. I am in Minneapolis, MN. I get why you guys are upset, but you just can't go around making assumptions. Not bashing either forum, I have a right to be on the defensive when my credibility is attacked for no reason.

He posted different locations in 2 different states already so that's no help.

Like I said I'm not accusing you of anything, believe it or not, I am trying to be helpful. 

I'd private message Harry P (He posted above) as well as an Admin on the other forum and tell them who I am, what my address is, and somehow authenticate myself if they ask. Then they can delete stuff for you or clear your name.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Everyone on this forum is on high alert at the moment. If you are legit, you have our apologies, but for now trust runs on numbers and statistics. I wish it could have been under better circumstances, but welcome to the board.
