Green member STOLE MY MONEY! Beware of 4406packman!

If you are around Harvard Sports club, let me know and I can hook you up. IM me.

I have to admit that I drop off NES from time to time but would NEVER during an active transaction process. Sorry this is going on. Hopefully he’s ok and you can get this remedied.

 

[jpm]

@jpm , I'd be willing to kick in a couple of bucks towards your loss, if it does not resolve in your favor... For the Good of the Order.

That is very generous of you sir! I sincerely appreciate it. I am not going to miss any meals or anything because of it though. The loss is a little painful but its the principle of it that really gets me mad.

Very kind, thanks! I'll let you know if I get out that way.

So, what’s the difference, financially, for the recipient on PayPal if you don’t use “friends and family”? Does PP get a percentage or flat rate? Sorry, I’m ignorant about this, but I doubt I’ll ever use the friends and family option again.

You didn't really ask, but just wanted to add that friends and family is essentially a wire transfer with no recourse. I learned the hard way on another forum.

yup, if you didn't give PP their piece of the action they all but tell you to gfy

Maybe he has a severe case of COVID and is lying in some hospital intubated and only has enough energy to click around a couple of times on NES, but not enough energy to type a cogent response to your PMs. How's that for a WAG?

 

[mousegunfan]

Thanks. Still doesn't explain ghosting me since June 8th despite being on here numerous times and doing another deal with someone around June 21st.

Scammers can also have accounts leave fake feedback.

Yeah, having watched your posts over the years, you seem to have your shit very together. I hate to see this stuff happen to any member.
Hoping it resolves and seller is not pushing daisies. Offer stands tho...

41 Mag...should have been your tip off. No one shoots that shit...had scam written all over it.

Oh....sorry for the caliber bash ;-)

Scammer would have gone with Fotay. .41 mag is for true believers only.

 

[jpm]

Scammers can also have accounts leave fake feedback.

The thing is, I know some of the people who left feedback and they said he was a good guy when they dealt with him.

Yup and if he wasn't green, I would have used a CC and eaten the fees as 'insurance'. But a long term member with feedback from people I know seemed like a safe deal.

 

[enbloc]

I'm going with illness or incarceration...

This thread needs a little music...

 

[chrbla2000]

I am also a 'Christopher B', so please don't dump me in the same slag heap this guy is in. lol, us Chris B's aren't all bad!

He already did the .40 thang.

The LOOOONG con? Agreed, probably not in this case.

I've seen guys on GAFS pile up 30 to 40 positive feedbacks and then pull a big scam, its crazy what scammers will do.

There isn't really a guarantee (unless he shows up later in this thread) that the seller is the account owner. If he used a same email/password combo that's been compromised, it could easily be a scammer logging into his account.

that exact thought had crossed my mind too

Very strange indeed.

Reminds me of that elderly dealer in Stoughton (?) who died a while back and suddenly went from 100% positive feedback on GB to all negatives.

Kicking the bucket can do that to ya.

I got ripped off online buying a Knights Armament 11.5 CQB upper, hook a brotha up ? IM sent.

Dont beat yourself up, I would have sent money to that guy if he had something I wanted.

Did you get his address in Western MA ?

Yeah I probably would do the same thing again, due diligence looked fine.

 

[jhagberg88]

Last seen 7/9/2021. Maybe the dude dropped dead? Feedback looks good, can't imagine someone local scamming someone for $200.

so true, I only scam for $1000+

 

[sstom]

Never do friends and family. Pay the extra fee. It's like insurance

 

[Nick Leduc]

Few things:
I would PM everyone in his feedback. See if they can do a quick search of their messages. You may get lucky to get a real name/address.

The logging in may be nothing. Especially with the way browsers can be setup with multiple windows opening up on startup, this could be a widow checking her emails with NES in the background.

As a fellow 41 mag enthusiast, @jpm shoot me a PM with your address, I'll send over a care package.

Thanks Nick! I did just that and got some info and another NES'er who saw this thread sent me more info so I've got it all now. I'm waiting to see if he owns up, fingers crossed.

PM incoming!

 

[Asaltweapon]

At this point he ships the brass to you and refunds all charges to save face.

 

[evalance]

well shit i just made 190 dollars this last hour, I'll refund you the money

 

[evalance]

should've asked for ivermectin !

 

[jpm]

Deal!

 

[Nick Leduc]

Also, a quick Google of the screen name shows a bunch of forums he was on. Giving a little more detail to a location. A quick search here shows a Christopher B that is around the same age and used to live in Florence. No obits under the same name.
