    Theft Issue! Moderators and all read!

    I have ( august 15th) posted an add in the classified buy/sell section of the forums selling the booh-yaah elcd frame. The person ( team fission : this is his AO SN)said he would trade me 100 dollars+ plus an ANs phase 2 reg. So I sent him the frame and he got it like he should have, but it took him 4 weeks to send his end of the deal and i had never received it yet. I keep talking to him and he keeps sayin it will be here. The pakage he supposidly sent me was suppose to be here monday and it never came. And tuesday The country went down (bombing of the WTC). And now he just said it should be here early next week. I dont know what to believe. I told him if i dont get my pakage next week, I would consider the booh-yaah frame stolen. Though, I dont consider it stolen now, I soon will. I will keep yall all up dated on this subject.
    Thanks for understanding and this should be in all forums (not just classifieds) so everyone could see how dangerous trading can be with people you dont know. I thought I could trust the AO family members. I hope this memeber comes through with his end of the deal.
    Again,
    I will keep yall all up dated on this subject.

    Sorry dude... we're not responsible for trades going on in the classifieds... and don't have any control over that kinda thing. The forum lets you find people to trade with... that's it. You guys have to handle trades amongst yourselves unfortunately.

    Best thing I can suggest is to stick it out a bit longer... and contact proper authorities if you must.

    It seems like he just forgot, or didn't get around to it. Wait it out a little longer.

    the best thing you can do is relax and wait. if it was in transit on tuesday give it until 9/21 before its safe to say he never sent it. seriously dude, bigger things are going down im sure you can give the country time to catch up.

    Third party trades

    If you use a third party trades usually go better. Just a thought. Sometimes takes longer and costs a bit more but at least you don't have to deal with this stuff. Also always get the phone number of the person you are trading with and never send anything to PO boxes. There's always a risk.

    UPS ran about ONE day behind this week on some things I ordered. If he sent it U.S.Mail then he may be telling the truth. They stopped letting mail on passenger planes, which is one of the main ways the mail gets around. If he sent it UPS and he is in Tiwan then you should have it now. Give him a week if its still not in your hands he is a liar.

    lol, it used to be the place where "everyone knows your name...."

    there should be a sign that says AGD is not responsible for bad traders or sellers.

    same thing happend to me...

    I found a guy on here that said he had a z body and his chrome benchmark body didn't fit on it. I had a stock one and was looking for a nice chrome body rail. So I said "hey, i'll trade my stock rail for your benchy" he said "great, i really need this for my gun to work." well I soon found out he was in the navy and was stationed iin Japan. he said "it'll take maybe 10 days at the most" 3 weeks go by, no body rail. a month goes by, he stops replying to my emails. finally i sent him kind of a nasty email and posted like you did. and a day after I did that, he FINALLY sent it out! so hang in there, it'll come.

    Tracking Numbers

    If he sent it out by UPS or Fed Ex etc, ask him for the tracking number, call up whicher company he sent it via and ask them to check on the tracking number, if he sent it out, the number should be in the system somewhere, if not, he either didn't send it or he fed you a bogus tracking number. One of the beauties of couriers.

    Wait it out..

    I have to admit, I am not doing to well shipping out promptly with school and all. I sent a package out monday night, and was luckily able to get it back from them Tuesday before they closed, not knowing what was going on. Problems happen, and I am really sorry to Bratch, it'll be in the mail.

    Call the POLICE. The longer you wait the harder it's gonna' be to recover your stuff. You know what address you shipped the frame to, just use information and get the local police and talk to them. If you used the US Mail in any way, also go to the postoffice and get the Postal Inspectors to visit him. Mail fraud is a federal case. For all you know this is a 14 yr old kid, and a visit to his parents by the police will spark some action.

    I know those of you who say 'wait' won't be happy with this , but if this jerk had held up his part of the bargain, then it wouldn't come down to this.

    Hey sorry to here this is happening, I remember I was close to having a deal with you on that frame for my tank and barrel. What city and state does he live in? Maybe someone here lives near him and can help you out. Sorry to hear that happened and I hope you get your stuff.

    YOU GOT SCAMMED!
    You made some stupid mistakes and got yourself ripped off. The fact that he wouldn't give you a phone number should have set your brain wondering.

    Don't waste you time talking to this fool anymore. Call the cops if you want but I don't think they will be able to help you much. Do you even know this person's real name? It is time to write off the frame as a learning experience.

    Try using a Reverse Phone Number look up service on the net. It'll probably cost you a few bucks for a residential address but you'll get his phone number.

    Ok...

    I'll see what information I can obtain for you. I am unable to elaborate more than this for now, but suffice to say I am very disappointed that this was seemingly a deliberate scam and will do what I can for you on the mere principal of the matter. Expect a reply tomorrow.

    team fission: why?
    team fission: im not screwing you over, i just told you... i sent it
    BeefCakeOrcl: if you dont have the money or the regulator..you could simply mail my frame back to me and this would all be solved and no harm is done
    team fission: DUDE.

    BeefCakeOrcl: if you didnt do anythng rong then why are you scared to give it to me?
    team fission: because
    team fission: ive seen things like this happen before
    BeefCakeOrcl: thats a great reason!
    BeefCakeOrcl: I already have your IP adress and if I wanted to do something to ruin your life I would have done it already
    team fission: and that would be pointless, because youd get it tomorrow and feel like an *** for the rest of your life.
    team fission: Plus, on a 56k connection your IP address changes everytime you make a connection.
    BeefCakeOrcl: no..I would simply be happy not to deal with irrisponsible little punks like you anymore...
    BeefCakeOrcl: not true
    team fission: Yes... go ask any computer guru you know.
    BeefCakeOrcl: I am a computer guru..I build computers
    BeefCakeOrcl: That is my job
    team fission: It was very irresponsible on my part. But I sent it last thursday.
    team fission: Well tha has nothing to do with hardware and programming, thats strictly putting chips and housings in place.
    BeefCakeOrcl: then you lies to me twice : once about when you mailed it and once about your money order
    team fission: If you want to talk computers, I'd be more than willing to. But thats not really the task at hand.
    BeefCakeOrcl: I program...I just dont let people we sell the computers to go off and install every operationg system them selfves
    team fission: Again, it was irresponsible on my part. I mailed it last thursday, I have a shipping reciept as well as the reciept from the package I purchased.
    BeefCakeOrcl: ok..The task at hand is I know why you put the pakage adress c/o
    BeefCakeOrcl: and as far as I know this is a federal offense
    team fission: because i havent told my dad i was spending another 100 dollars on my gun
    BeefCakeOrcl: great..that has nothing to do with me
    team fission: And to be a federal offense the item/items must be equal or over the value of 800 US dollars. Then the FBI gets into it. But, I'm not worrying about that because I sent it on thursday.
    BeefCakeOrcl: no 20
    BeefCakeOrcl: well..I have to go
    BeefCakeOrcl: exspect to hear from this soon

    No, I didn't forget...

    One number obtained. Sources in the delivery home state involved in the seconds’ origin. An inquiry asked to be relayed to you - favor prosecution? We have not researched your states crimes code as yet, therefor cannot be certain if said violation will be victim or recipients address jurisdicted. This is but a formality, not an issue at this stage. Will not be able to respond to a reply this evening, but tomorrow after the office re-opens.
