Well this magman character or whatever his name is seems to have scammed everyone out of their hard earned money telling them this bull**** story about his dad being in the war and all... Me, along with a few other people on here saw him offering either a red, black, or blue unmilled 04 viking for cavemankevin's xmag; choice of xmag owner. I always thought the way he talked about the whole thing was fishy but I thought if it was a scam then not many people would donate, which was not the case. I have also seen him offering "his dad's" viking for other guns on pbn but never thought anything of it since I thought maybe he just wanted to see what the gun is worth or maybe it's a friend that was using his account. Well the more I looked into the matter, the more fishy it looked to me and I think this last offer he made a day or 2 ago was the final straw. Everyone who gave this cheap piece of **** lazy **** money, I suggest you do something about it. Thanks for reading :tard:.

You're kidding


I made his father two pairs of custom carved customs, worth over $100. Wow I feel completely silly.

I guess the good thing about it is the grips can't be resold because his father's name was on them. But I just feel sorry I was taken advantage of.

before people jump to conclusions, including myself, i want to hear his explaination.. BUT, i'm not convinced it was the real deal after seeing him trying to trade vikings etc... IF the one he was trading was his, why didnt he give his dad one of 3 he already had instead of scamming some dude to give him an 04 for $500

Everyone should take him to small claims court for misrepresentation.

I hope he gives his side of the story, but it really sucks when someone takes advantage of the kindness of others. But, when giving to a stranger only give what you are prepared to lose...

Can anyone contact his father to find out the story?

magmanl337
12-07-2004, 01:09 PM
Ok. Here's the deal. I bought a viking for my dad. Then Bought a VIKING FOR MYSELF. So stop accusing me of scamming people. I bought another blue viking people. And i didnt alreasy have 3. I bought more after i bought my dads. The reason i didnt have money a few months ago, was because i didnt have a job. I now have a job and getting money.

It's been a month, maybe, and you were already able to buy 2 Vikings? Wow. I need a job like that -- and I'm 25 with a degree working full time. Must've been alot of lawns to mow.


Are you accepting trades of any kind? I have a 2004 Viking i can trade. Your choice of dust black, dust blue, or dust red.

i'm sixteen, and my parents pay for my vehicles insurance. I work at velocity paintball now. And applying for another job. I bought a blue 04 viking for 850 (Which is not alot of money)
I am also selling a load of my stuff to friends to buy another one. People, please stop accusing others. Guitar, paintball gear, game systems and even more stuff.

Are you aware that he's Trading his OWN Viking, as well as mine (with my permission)?

Are you aware that while people contributed tot he fund, I was the one who front the additional $400 to BUY the damned thing? I have the paypal records to show you. Either STFU, or back down.

You Joined AO this Month. Your post count is a teeny bit less than some of us.

This guy has an eye on my black one. My dad wants to trade to this guy for his red viking. I'm buying a blue one (NOte i own 2 vikings at the moment) That's why im offering all 3 to the guy, becuz i have access to all 3. I'm buying the blue one on saturday. I sold my computer to buy the blue one ($1400 money was sent yesterday)

There is a lot of shady stuff going down on this thread. First off I want proof (links, screen shots etc) that he is selling the viking in question. Second I'm with rk I wish I could buy a $900 gun after werking for a month ( I also have degree and werk full time). Lets ee some proof before we burn the witch.

Edit: I can't believe you're dad wants to trade a gift. This is BS.. I can't imagine any Dad worth buying a viking for caring what color it is

This is utter and TOTAL BS on Bobo's part, and I dontsee anyone noticing people are...trolling.

I hope heather reads this, or posts, because if/when she does, I will gladly, on the behalf of MagMan, send her the money for those grips, if she feels like she has been scammed.

I've asked more than once, too, in the original thread to see a picture of your dad with his marker.. SHOOTING it. Not holding it. Not carrying around an aka gun bag (for all we know he could be holding it for you).

What sticks in my craw is the fact that he solicited donations, including convincing a seller to drop his asking price 40%, when he obviously had access to funds to purchase his Dad's marker. Not a scam, just a dick thing to do, IMO.

That too. He presented himself as strapped for cash so he solicited discounts and freebies across AO.

Then as soon as he uses said discounts and freebies for a setup, he proceeds to sell his over-priced computer to buy himself a gun.

Proceeds? Do you know How much money was actually donated to him? $40(minus paypal fees). Do you know How much I paid? The Rest(minus paypal fees). He borrowed the money from ME.
As for the Computer, he's been trying to sell it for the past several months becuase another person is giving him the run around.

You said 10 minutes ago you donated $400. Now you say you donated almost $900.

And the amount doesn't matter. People still donated money because they thought there was a need. A need which argueably wasn't there.

He could have taken a slight hit on his computer price and ebay'd it. Don't give me this "Oh he was trying so hard to sell it so he could buy a gun for his dad and puppies for all the neighborhood children and food for the homeless!".

And I'm surprised you are defending him as you gave him either $400 or $900 (let us know when you make up your mind) to get his dad a gun and he went out and bought himself two guns a month later.

Either you like his dad a whole lot more than he does, or he used you for money.

I didn't say it wasn't possible, I just said its still a lot of money.

Minimum wage is around $5.50, is it not?

Working a 40 hour week, thats $220 a week, or $440 a paycheck. (How you got $450 for part time assumes that he is getting a bit better than min. wage, but why you would pay a 16 yo in a paintball shop that much more than min. wage, especially when he is obviously a new hire, is beyond me).

So if he got $880 in his first month, and didn't spend a DIME on anything else, then sure, he could have bought the gun.

But its still a lot of money.

i have talked to him on aim for maybe a month now ..



and why the hell would he even take the time to make a post about the viking he got his dad if he was out to burn people out of cash to get the viking in the first place

I do have two computers and 2 laptops. Which is why im selling one. Though one laptop and one computer is my parents, its still there for me to use.

When did I say I donated $900? I didn't. I said I fronted the $400 from the rest of the viking. It was NEVER $900.
And when did I start with the Bs of "Oh he was trying so hard to sell it so he could buy a gun for his dad and puppies for all the neighborhood children and food for the homeless!"? I said some guy gave him the run around.

I stopped reading after the post count insult... it really showed me how immature you are. The one question that I have is this: Why is your story so different from "you friend's" or whoever this mysterious guest is? This is all assuring me more and more that this was a scam. If your 16 then why the **** do we have to give you money to buy "your dad" the gun if you can get your own ****ing job or do something on your own you ****ing mooch. Everyone that donated has to work for their own money and most of them are not any older then 17 or 18. Why the **** do you get to sit back and watch the money flow in from hard working people who feel compassion for you when your not even doing anything yourself to try to fix the situation or whatever.

I just turned 16 you dick.
