Truereefer is a scammer!

[Ladybug5234]

I pondered long & hard before I posted this. Up until now I thought it could still be a misunderstanding. After all, I had never been scammed before and have conducted hundreds of transactions online, both as a buyer and a seller. But I just found out this guy is doing this left and right so I figured I'd warn everyone.

He sends you an invoice for service and I'd you don't catch on, you won't be able to dispute it thru PayPal (or so he thinks). Then he barely communicates and then finally stops responding or even logging on, and takes off with your hard earned cash and leaves you empty handed. I am willing to bet he's got more than one screen name too.

I'm working on fighting it now. Filed with paypal earlier today. About to call them. Then going to contact Some people I know about cyber crimes, and I believe it's federal once done in different states.

The address listed in the PayPal invoice is to a school. But I doubt he's a teacher. Most of us (teachers ) are honest people.

I'm passing along this guys name/info to everyone and every forum I know. I ask that everyone else does the same. If I ever get my money back, I still need a good deal on an MP40. I'm Leary to even mention it. But I want one for my critters and can't swing a new one with a newborn. Lol.

If I ever get my money back, and someone is feeing generous, i still
Need an MP40. Lol. Although at this point I'm leery to buy anything from anyone I haven't done business with before. This really does suck. Hard to believe. I'd do anything to help a fellow reefer. Hell, I spent half my day off today helping a fellow reefer move a 50g and I even gave him a few frags. I just don't understand. I'm not being obtuse here, just wondering were the bad karma is coming from.

I'm going to close this thread as its run its course and the point has been made. If you end up with a resolution and feel you want to post it here, let me know and I'll open it for closure.

Thanks,
