Well I was contacted by them tonight 3x
They contacted me, in request I remove them from the "trade with caution" area of Sitcoms. Stating that since they are not a member here, I can not add them. I disagree, and have as in the past always updated this list to those who are bad sellers bad traders And suspicious behavior. The fact is Their IP does in fact route to NY while their address states Florida They are only asking people to send first They have shows NO one has seen on a list in a decade And no one has any dealings with them No feedback nor can they find a membership for them on any site. And yet, they contacted to date, at least a dozen users- So whiel they told me tonight they are not ON this site They don't mind hwoever using the site to contact members- This site was designed to provide a safe trading harbor for users with modeartors, owners, administrators to help avoid scamming, and manipulative or deceptive behavior The information - such as emails and lists are a privledge to those members, here- to set up safe trades. To contact users, and read the site,without being a member- to try to set up trades offering no security- goes against the very idea of the system we have in place. And therefore I stand my ground and will not remove them from the list. As well they are on 2 Yahoo Scammer Alert lists, as well as 2 private sites I frequent. So why they are selecting this site, makes me wonder as has the rest of their behavior thus far. However, I stand by the fact I feel contacting members on a site you are not registered to, asking them to send first and set up a trade that has no protection, IS SUSPICIOUS. if anyone disagrees with this, please let me know. |

i will say this
it looks bad they have no references, and are not doing much to prove or defend themselves if they have all this stuff, then SURELY they must have traded before with someone???? and if they want to make good and prove themselves, then do a trade and send first---- be safe and trade with a well known trader and send first ill say this, SOMETIMES these SUSPICIOUS situations arise, and 99.99% of the time, it pans out they were a scammer i hope its wrong, but given the facts and the fishiness...... i think u did the right thing, and if they disagree, they need to step up and prove themselves! |

on 4 other sites listed as a scammer/?????? oh, im sure that all must be a mistake????? GET REAL!!!! he is listed on the scammer alerts on 4 other sites, BUT suddenly he had a change of heart and wants to trade here???? HERES AN IDEA---- if he wants to make right--- how about going to those other 4 boards, and whoever has SCAMMER issues with him, maybe he could start by fixing THOSE ISSUES before he racks up more?? and if they check this site out---- i am curious as to why they wouldnt join??? so they could speak up for themselves???? very fishy..... i mean, i dont usually go to sites im NOT a member of and set up trades.... lamont, just thinking aloud.... |

They uhm replied to me tonight and said as far as the address goes
" hello i was so tired that i forgot i live in new york city i dont know why i gave them the wrong address that was my fault." Wow that is really tired. To forget where you live I stand by my decision. until I hear successful trades at least As Lamont said why contact all the members here and not join. |
