This guy scammed us for less $1000 ..... just blows my mind.


@revhtree Please check if this guy re-registers with a different username by IP address.
Rev's aware of the situation, let's not make this thread about him though.

Thank you all again friends and family... :)
With deep regret i am sorry to say this go fund me has been compromised.
the first 1000 $ was received rather quickly, the remaining 1361.00 has been very stressful 9+
weeks of "excuses" just want it to be over ...
i have taken pictures of the list of donors "thank you"over the 1000 $ mark
but please use the go fund me donor protection plan to get back your donations
Sorry and thanks again friends...

What in helheim is wrong with people… Im sorry @fishguy242 thats got to feel awful they used you to scam others. Kudos to you for coming forward. Hopefully this gets worked out and you can get the funds that were stolen and use them for your medical bills. Wishing you a speedy recovery

What did you put on the form where they asked for "evidence"?
I just stated what Frank told me. He received part of it then the organizer ghosted everyone and he has not received the rest. I think they've received enough claims on this specific incident they aren't questioning it.

@Jay Hemdal @vetteguy53081 @MERKEY ,did you see this ? feel free to do as you need to ,
but believe y'all are above the 1000$ mark.
Thank you all
Yikes- Just saw this. These assumptions are very disturbing and unnecessary and again supports the mention of a given few who seem to b here to merely insult, mock and shred people who are here for the love of the hobby - Not to be tested.
Fishguy242 is well known and the last person I would regard as a scammer.

I could say more but this circumstance often warrants the monitoring by R2R staff who I trust
