Selling and buying is very much frown upon but should you decide to arrange payment for any reason take precautions.

1-Trader Check- checking a reputation can take minutes, and it can save countless frustration (or dollars)

2-Send by verifiable sources.
Check, or Paypal.

3-Do a community search for their name, and feel free to ask for THEIR refrences.
Those with solid reputations won't mind.


Again we dont' condone selling or buying, but there are cautions you can exercise.

Please contact the owner or one of the moderators should you have information on this user.

DAAAMN YOU CAUGHT ME... CRAP.. jk

andy was the homless dude who was getting $20 western union payemnts sent to him for things

looks like he moved up in his operation

we have been all over this fact before, but here it is again

NEVER USE WESTERN UNION

it equals a scammer

words to remember

dont give into the temptation of getting the impossible thing, by sending a western union payment

its not going to happen

So what would happen if one got scammed on Western Union? Is there any way to get your money back or report the person? It seems wrong that they be able to get away with stealing.

Western Union is same as cash. Once the recipient picks it up, it's gone for good.

I thought this was obvious. Why would anyone send western union to someone you do not know? If the person does not accept paypal, I would never deal with them, I don't care what they have. The email was even obvious "comeandfindme30@yahoo.com" If you knew this email name and still sent him money...... come on!

At least that's what he told people. My guess is he tried to get sympathy from those he scammed. Western Union definitely raises the red flag on scamming!

Hello:
I just say that your observeration was very humorous, I did not catch that, but the idea of using such a taunting eMail address is a riot. People have such imaginations, it's always amazes me.. I believe that a money order (if it was not lost of reported to the Sheriff's Department as Stolen is always treated as cash by the contractual agreement on the money order stub.. I am suprises Wal-Mart Gift Cards or Target Gift Cards are not either sent nor asked for by very many people. I think it makes a very simple form or currency, if you trust the recepient, but most people are basically honest, I believe that. Thank You Donald Miller Charleston SC

is there any way that he could be traced through his Yahoo email accounts/identity - either by reporting his activities to them, or the authorities?

Another way that he might be tracked down would be through his IP address, it looks like he posted the stuff on the Happy Days board from the Library at the University of California San Francisco - UCSF

Address: 500 Parnassus Avenue
City: San Francisco
StateProv: CA
PostalCode: 94143-0225

Well if anyone got scammed by him they couldn't have been very bright. If he was homeless how could he be online and conducting trades no less LOL. Either he had the longest extension cord in history or a huge red flag was waving in the breeze and no one noticed.

hes not homeless
that is just a lie he told me and others to keep us from pursuing legal action against him and his theft

he has been on this board many many times with many many names
and scammed many people, he usually only scams small $$$ amounts, counting on the fact that most people wont puruse him for $20 or so
