SCAMMER ALERT, Official Thread

[byang09]

I purchased a pair of C&J Tetbury early last week from “maltess”. http://www.styleforum.net/u/65853/maltess

Link to listing: http://www.styleforum.net/t/381342/crockett-jones-tetbury-suede-uk7

Boots were never sent after paypal payment (made as “personal” as part of the deal, know never to do that now). Seller stopped responding (5+ chaser e-mails/pms sent to date).

I went with the deal in the first place because the seller had a positive feedback and was a fairly active member.

Not a gross sum of money to lose but would certainly be a useful Buyer beware to fellow members. I hope he is at least using the money to feed his family.

Tsk, tsk, tsk

I had the same experience with him as well. I have a Paypal dispute currently open with him since he didn't ship the item after I sent the money.

Good luck bud.......

His user name is "Maltess" not "maltese". You might want to fix the title.

Corrected! Thanks.

Will bump this for awareness sake.

That's brutal; thanks for the heads up.

Does anybody know whether @eddievddr10 was able to resolve his TF suit case from a while back?

I say this calls for a "SCUMBAG APPRECIATION THREAD" - if one does not yet exist.

There have been a few cases where sellers have absconded with the funds. A dedicated thread isn't a bad idea.

I'm usually a very good judge of people's intentions..........still can't believe I got got!

+1 I was naive enough to think this didn't happen at sf.

As with any transaction, you have people looking to take advantage. I have had personal payments sent/received for $1000, but was "somewhat" aware with whom I was dealing.

Welcome back, haven't seen you around in awhile.

Either he was desperate and needed money, his account has been hacked, or something happened to him.

FWIW, me and some other guys were scammed last year by a fairly "regular" SF'er.
