Paging Member Psycho Penguin

[jesusjones]

MOD EDIT - Unstuck 4/22


Hello all,

Sorry to put this out here, but it's been a while since this guy received my payment for some items, and I need to find out how to get a hold of him.

Thanks!

[justabum]

I'm in the same boat. He received my payment a while ago too and I still haven't received anything either.

[jesusjones]

Nice ta know I'm not alone then. I found both a Yahoo and Gmail acct to email, but still no answer...startin to wonder...

[Arcade Antics]

How long has it been? More/less than a month?

[marcus12024]

He had wanted to trade me a game for a game, but then hasn't replied to me since July 26/2006.

[jesusjones]

Payment was received from me on August 1st, according to PM. However, all attempts to get a hold of PP to this point have been unanswered.

[JohnnyBlaze]

If you know his real name and address, you can get his phone number if he's listed. I did that to find the phone number of a mom and pop game store, as all I had was an address.

[Muscelli]

did you guys pay by paypal?

[justabum]

post office money order

[bunbunz23]

This is what I paid to get from him and the last response I got was on 2 Aug stating the package was shipped out that day. I have not seen him on this forum since.

Feedback is so important on these forums because I have done business with other DP members on the board and it shows if they are good or bad. I expect not to get the games or money back from this individual but I am to blame because I should have checked the feedback forum first....Please make sure you leave feedback on every transaction you do no matter how small it is...it will go a long way. I also thought he was a honest guy based on th estory about he got scammed for his 360 awhile back but I guess I was wrong.

Did you pay with your cc through paypal or your account balance. The nice thing about a cc payment is that you can slap down a chargeback on a scamming seller.

You may still be able to recover if it was an account payment.

You can report USPS money orders as lost/stolen and file a claim for around $3.00 which isnt too bad. Others like Check masters charge $10.00 (ouch!)

[jesusjones]

Yeah, I sent a money order per request, and I realize that's always a somewhat risky proposition. Been burned a couple of times, but I'm willing to take the risk on sites that I feel are low-risk. This is one of those sites for me.

So, we'll see what happens. I have found a yahoo, a gmail, a MySpace page and an AIM acct for this guy, but of course no answer as of yet. I'll just keep digging.

I'm not a MySpace member (perhaps it is time to make a profile so I can stick ppl like this), but here's the guy. And he's a Jets fan...man, that sucks, because I am too.

Oh, and had I seen this before, I'd have stayed away. He fixed stuff after being blacklisted. Note to self: Darn it.

[JWKobayashi]

I had a pending sale for a game with him around the end of July. I hadn't heard anything from him for a few days, so I decided to take another offer.

The PM's I sent are still sitting in my outbox.

Through Google I was able to find out his real name, as well as his general location (through the aforementioned MySpace page).

I'd think that if he was going to scam, he'd of scammed me out of $35 as well.

Anyway, good luck guys!

JesusJones69: hey steve you ever going to send out stuff to the dp people? i'm still waiting for my snes and game package i sent a money order for 3 wks ago. tried pming you but no answer.

JuanDixonFor3: yeah everythings on its way, i have been real sick
JesusJones69: when was it sent?
JuanDixonFor3 signed off at 3:36:31 PM.

There you have it, AOL Style.

[Necron99]

I am also in the same boat. Payed though Money order.
I'm still unsure whether anything is fishy or not, I live in Canada so I now shipping can be delayed/slow at times.

I probly wouldn't even suspect anything if Bunbunz23 hadn't PM's me.

this is what I bought

NES Cart Only
----------------
Mega Man 5


NES Complete
----------------
Chip and Dale 2
Tiny Toons 2

SNES Loose
--------------
Breath of Fire

[justabum]

total scam.

I also bought the chip n dale 2 along with some other stuff.

Spent $100 total. Paid with a postal money order.

This blows, I'm tired of getting ripped off. It just sucks that you have to watch your back every time you do anything or pricks like this guy will rob you blind. I'm going to file a fraud claim. Dunno if it will get me anywhere but its worth a shot.

Damn, this is only the second time I've been ripped off, Let us know how the fraud claim works out, btw, here's his address he gave me

Steve McFadden
938 Alexandria Place
Greenacres FL 33463

[MightySlacker]

Steve McFadden is a notorious scammer that has been banned at GTZ and has tried to come back with different accounts multiple times.

http://gametz.com/user/RandyKOrton.html

Those are the initial old ones, but there has been numerous instances where he has been caught sneaking back in, luckilly before he is able to burn anyone. I am shocked at the number of people he has ripped off, and due to the fact he's lived at the same address since 2000 that nothing has been done.

I'm sorry for everyone in this thread that got ripped, but I would seriously consider calling his local PD and informing them about this habitual thief, even if you think nothing will be done about it

[The Shawn]

Wow, I just read that report on Gametz. You guy's have better evidence to nail this clown than you did that resealer dude. I think it's time the powers that be (DP) does some more detective work. Who ta' hell was in on that last bust?

I can't remember, But I think it was the guy's who got shafted on evilbay and a few enlightened folks here.

Call the fuzz, they can prosecute.
My 2 cents

[Daria]

Whoa. He lives near me. O.o
