Names of traders to avoid

[The Keeper of Secrets]

I think it's a good idea. But as Dragon said, it's got to be rock solid proof that they're a conman.

How about:

If you get scammed, goes into Rate a trader. People can see and avoid. Put the guys name etc on there so people can avoid him.

If some guy manages to scam more than one guy, he goes in this new list, like a wanted list, people who are organised/serious enough to change IP and address etc.

Re: Names of traders to avoid

I totally agree on all these points.

We have to name and shame these people

Re: Names of traders to avoid

If the person in question has scammed people then has anyone informed the police?
If the IP cannot be changed then that is a way for the site to block him and possible for the police to get him too.

Re: Names of traders to avoid

Also to add to this list would be 'TR4SHED' AKA Robert Almond.
I made a swap deal with him and sent him a pistol in exchanged for an smg. Several months later and he still has the smg and not returned my pistol after many excuses and lies.
He has also conned another member in this way.

Re: Names of traders to avoid

I will add Chris Bown to this, he took £250 for a minime a while back and went totally dark, not answering me on zeroin or through paypal. Never sent the gun or got back in contact, and only refunded me when I started a paypal dispute and threatened him with small claims. I dont think he uses the forum anymore after the business with me but would be something to bear in mind, there was absolutely no explanation given about his actions which leads me to believe he never had any intention of sending out the gun.

Re: Names of traders to avoid

Would it be a good idea to create a condensed version of the list (say a mods post at the top which gets edited) so that users can see all the names quickly and clearly and not have to scroll through 90% opinion and chatting?

At the moment we have had 21 posts and about 3 names.

Nobody is stupid enough to not know what a P**** is


CallOfDuty AKA Dermott also owns this website http://www.airsoftaddicts.co.uk/ So if you would like your stuff or money back report this to the police, and they'll get onto the webcompany who's domain it is and get the credentials of him. I.E adress and number. This may be the only way to get your goods/money back

Re: Names of traders to avoid

I personally think this would be best stickied in the "Rate a Trader" section and have it locked. Then have members PM a mod if a trader has scammed them, with the proof needed. Mods would then put the real name and known email ect in this thread. I'm more than happy to help out with this.

Cheers
