Another scam artist...?

[dinkydow]

Nalioth, just another scam artist...?

What would you guys do, or think...if... you bought a Romanian "G" (an AKM kit) kit from a fellow on a gun site, he cashes your check on 12-23-2010, weeks go by, nothing..... He won't answer your e-mails and when you call him out on it...IN the thread he posted the kit for sale in, on the same site....and all you get is hot air... and no kit after paying $250.00 for a handjob ("I shipped your kit on the 12-27-2010, so it ain't my problem") and now it is 01-18-2011... Would you call the man a thief and begin warning folks? He has been banned from other board for jerking off and stealing from their members....just like he is doing me...I have come to find out.

What do you guys think?

Time to kick some ass? Or am I just being.... impatient? I ship stuff from Ohio, to Texas all the time, mostly receivers and AK's and it only takes a couple days, week at most.

Wouldn't that be a type of Mail Fraud? I've read similar stories like this and Mail Fraud has come up...

This is a classic read, and this kid gets owned by the whole forum...Maybe go this route and your fellow TGT members might help you get your parts or money back!

Call the bank and cancel the check. Report him to the authorities in his city.

Most people don't know that a check can be canceled even after it is cashed. You do have to pay cancellation fee though.

Classic mail fraud, cancel the check.

The check was negotiated by this thief, on December 23rd. The money has been in his hands for quite awhile. To late to cancel the check. I am going to report his thievery to the Houston Fraud unit. Seems like he has been playing this game on the various gun boards until he gets banned. He posts here also.

How about posting his real name so we know who not to deal with. I think he has given up any right to anonymity with his douchebaggery.

I knew you could "Stop Payment" on a check...but only before it was cashed. I have never heard of "Canceling a check"...that has been cashed and getting a refund....though.

I am embarrassed to learn that the alleged perpetrator is a fellow Texan.

Maybe, emailing the moderators here will help...I mean, I hope they can do something, maybe not for you but to prevent someone here being victimized as well.

OK....How about THIS: The AK Files Forums - WTS Romanian G kit w/barrel Houston Texas

And...THIS: Gunco.net

Or, read this: http://www.theakforum.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=71785&hilit=nalioth&start=125


That way you can see for yourself.

Talk to your bank, tell them the story. I know my bank (Fed Credit Union) will do it...yes, even for cashed checks.

Many thieves move from board to board, sinking their rat claws into un-suspecting victims...as long as people do not know any better. The huge majority of board sellers are honest working Joes, just like the rest of us... a few.... well... they ruin it for everyone. I wish I knew then, what I know about this thief now. Only way that can happen is if the word is spread.

I will go to the bank tomorrow and give that a try as they are closed now. To late in the day for them. Anything is worth a try.

So he seems to be ducking you and is a thief. You sent $$ to him and he cashed the check. I, for one would like to have his name so I won't do business with him. Seeing that this is a Texas forum, he could very well be a member here so my chances of dealing with him are pretty good.

I do believe he is a member here. His username all over the 'net is:

Thank you. A complaint to the BBB might be in order as well.

Ha, pirate classic, good to see another wheeler on here.

That would prolly fix things, but you might wanna try a nice lawyer letter or sumpin first.
