    If you need a reminder not to scam people then you worry me already.

    Let me guess: tie them to a chair, tape their eyes open and make them watch Napoleon Dynamite over and over again. Not much else is as convincing at making people lose their will to live.....and to stop scamming people.

    Haha! Remember the resealer named Nick Morgan from NJ? The investigative work invested in that debacle would've done Simon & Simon proud.

    It sounds like it should be advertised during the afternoon during Maury Povich. "you're on the phone all the time anyway - call now. If she can do it, you can too!"

    No comment, but I read his gametz profile last year, and the bit about being scammed made me not want to deal with him ever.

    He's probably attending the Tampa campus.

    Found it here

    Anyway, any updates on the scammer?

    I tried to add him as a friend on facebook but it looks like he blocked me now.

    Obviously I was planning on scamming anyone, I just think it's a tad creepy how much everyone is investigating every aspect of this guy's life. Especially when it's not confirmed it's a scam yet. There have been a couple people backing him up.

    It's not hard to keep the dogs at bay. Just answer your freakin' PMs and email. He brought this on himself, unless he has a damn good reason why he's all over the internet other than this board...

    An online society like this one works because of trust and honesty. Without both it couldn’t function. Therefore when situations like this come up, that disrupt the very fabric of the society, its members take it seriously. I understand how it might seem like an overreaction, although really situations like this can’t be dealt with lightly, because of the above reason.

    Is it possible for me to open a bad trader report on Christopher Huges on GTZ?

    I haven't heard from anyone who is backing him, Christopher Huges 'VileRedFalcon' up on this matter. He won't even back himself up. Its been over 3 weeks since he accepted the money and of course, he hasnt sent the tracking number that he said he would.

    In this thread there were at least three people who said they have dealt with him in the past and don't see him scamming people. But anyway, I'm not saying he didn't do anything wrong, I can't know that for sure. I'm just saying that it's a tad weird how people are looking into his school location, his place of work, it's a bit unnecessary. I absolutely agree with filing reports with any sites he's known to frequent, but stalking his facebook and other personal things are going a bit too far in my opinion. At least by those not involved.

    When you say 'backing him' it implies that these three people are defending Christopher Hughes and his actions. All they really said was that they had done deal(s) with him in the past. A person with such good feedback on GTZ should be more than willing to defend himself and not ignore all my and my friend's emails and PMs. He obviously has done many trades in the past and should know very well to ship $140 of items with delivery conformation or tracking.

    Obviously, nothing was shipped.

    Also, nobody is stalking him or doing anything of the sort. I don't see anything wrong with seeking public information about an individual who is alleged to have stolen $140.

    I'm sure you'd appreciate the effort if it was your 140 bucks... We're not being aggressive here. It's all information from the public domain. If you don't want people to know something about you, don't put it up on the internet. Duh!

    Some of it is however useless in terms of solving this issue, such as his school and work information which I quoted before. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see a happy ending to this, but...ah nevermind it doesn't matter anymore. You guys get the idea.

    As soon as anyone asks him about it, he clams up. He wanted to do a trade with me, but after I sent him the link here, he got pretty quiet. Yes, he's done a lot of good trades in the past, I've traded with him in the past with no problems. That doesn't mean he didn't just take someone's money and run, tho.

    In order to rectify the situation VRF just needs to show up, say he fucked up, apologize, give the cash back, and call it a day.

    Some people wont deal with him in the future, and that's the way it goes. He's had enough good feedback in the past that his rep shouldn't be completely tarnished as long as he makes good on this deal (and the sooner the better).
