I cant Believe it has happened to me...Oscarine aka Mark Fanslau was selling a pink lady nexus cocker and I bought it off him with a MO. I shipped it out last week and now when I call his cell phone it has been canceled and the company he had me send it to said he no longer works there and he hasnt responded to anyof my pms as of lately...Is there anything I can do or am I f'd?

I wouldn't get too excited too quickly. Its possible the cell phone was a company phone and the number cancelled off by the company when he quit / was fired. Assuming you saw good feed back and took the normal precautions I'd wait at least three weeks from sending MO to get too concerned

i hope that since you are posting this you've tried pm'ing him since and he has not responded?

Was the address you sent the MO to a work or home addy for the guy?

There is a distinct possibility things have changed on his online times, considering he no longer works where he did. I personally think you are getting worked up far too soon.

Im curious did you send the money without verifying the information he gave you? You must of rushed this deal without looking into the guy you were buying from. I hope you get your gun/money back but you shouldnt rush into a deal without knowing all the information about the guy your doing business with.

This is what you have to put up with in the AO community. Why, I have no clue but I was in your shoes once before and could not believe the comments I got from some of the guys in this group. Just pay them no mind.

I would wait untill next week and if you dont here from him or get your stuff by then, :mad: blow him up.

As for poter give it a little more time, you did send the money order on the most busy mailing holiday. If you kept the slip that you tear off the money order, The company does have a thief process you can go through. It might take a few months but you might just get your money back. why would you ship to this guys work?

Another method is going to the place you got your money order from and say you got ripped off is there anything you can do, and see if they can help you out.

Yeah im done

This forum has become idiotic. All this guy asked for was some help, and almost everyone decided it was a good time to pretend they were the funniest person in the universe.

You aren't. If you don't want to help, don't post. Save your moronic jokes for the pointless threads in friendly corner.

Poter, I understand you getting frustrated, but bear with us and look for the informative posts. While I think the guy may need a bit more time, it's never to early to gather information to protect yourself. Obtain a copy of the cashed money order if you can (let us know where you got it if you need help). Also, use the various internet resources to try to find a home number for this guy.

Like I said, his concerns may be premature, though it never hurts to start gathering information early on. The first few posts were informative, but from there it descended into complete stupidity. It would have been far better to just post the first few responses and left it at that, instead of 2 pages of people trying to be internet comedians. The poor guy sounds concerned, and so people decide to jump in and ridicule him. People complain all the time about PBN, but how is this any different?

If they post a thread sounding like: "Help I've been scammed because the guy got fired from work and in all likelihood the MO hasn't gotten there yet... I'm screwed. SCAMZORZ"

Then they will be mocked.

Howabout I post... "Oh noes the bank closes early on friday so my computer's gonna crash. What should I do?"

Or he's just young? Either way, if a person thinks they have been ripped off, they tend to be a bit emotional about it.

If I sent someone some money for an item, and then their phone was disconnected, they were no longer at the address the package was sent to, and they no longer answered PM's, my scam-o-meter would be buzzing.

Oscarine is a registered user on http://www.paintballforum.com/. Check there.
He is in all probability polish.
Research gathers he may be 25 years old.
His ISP is Comcast.
His logon is Fanslau1. Find out the name of his favorite pet and enter it HERE (https://acctmgt.comcast.net/Comcast/AcctMgt/forgotpwd.cmd) to gain access to his private stuff.

How does his first post make him sound like a flaming homo? He sounds rational, and is just looking for some advice. Some people think he is jumping the gun. I don't, but even if he is, just mention that and move on. The guy might be out hundreds of dollars, and I don't think he appreciates the "humor" of some of the people who posted.

No filter avoidance there eh? When talking with intelligent people on the web or in real life never cuss, use slang etc, etc. It makes you sound and look as immature as you probably are. At least TRY and use proper grammar also. People might think you are getting or are edjumacated.

If you must dis a respected member at least do it right. Its Steely Dan.

Technically, I didnt cuss and theres no way to prove i did. What you fill into a blank with 4 stars is your mind, not mine.

Try and track him down and follow up on the situation (but don't be an a//).

If he is ripping you off, you can try to press charges or sue as much as it makes a difference.

This thread should be stickied as the correct way to conduct a successfull flame fest.

And whether he's been banned or not... he's still a master of his own element. You gotta tip your cap to "Derek". This Bud's for you :cheers:

this "Oscarine" guy only has 9 posts, one of the suggestions in the B/S/T scammer alert thread is to not buy from people w/ a low post count. Plus he joined in 2005, so he is obviously not a very "active" user (bad communication). You should have looked into that. My personal limit is to not even think about buying from people w/ under 50 posts, 100 is even risky in my mind. the post count shows how active a user is, you should have checked that out befor buying.

Nono... I know ur not derek. :rofl:

I'm just saying, as a blanket statement, Derek's powers reach beyond the bans. Until the mere mention of your name causes threads to spiral downward into an abyss of flames, you're a nobody. :D

How does his first post make him sound like a flaming homo? He sounds rational, and is just looking for some advice. Some people think he is jumping the gun. I don't, but even if he is, just mention that and move on. The guy might be out hundreds of dollars, and I don't think he appreciates the "humor" of some of the people who posted. Chances are, if we were out the money, we wouldn't either.


Amen!

Look, its many of the same knuckle dragging monkeys that were harrasing DM, so they slow down on that, but now they look for somone else to treat like crap. All this under the idiotic idea of "Its a stupid post, so we shall flame him". Why do they think that they are the are the end all, be all of how things should be around here.? Because we have lost alot of Mods attention, and there is no consequences to their actions. Its mob mentality around here these days. Or you caould say its High school all over again, with cliques trying to be superior, and the ones trying to be superior are making themselves look more like a moron than the person they are flaming. It amazes me how a person can make a post, that doesnt break a rule, and these window lickers, are flaming away, because they think they are doing AO a favor, and breaking rules in the meantime. Grow up kiddies, because you will find consequences to your actions, maybe not now, but Karma can be cruel. Treat people like you want to be treated, how hard is that? Dont like their post? Leave it alone....sheesh.

Sorry, clicked the link and I dont understand what your getting at, please explain.

I may be a crappy judge of character, and maybe I should shut up. But I will post what I like as everyone else does. I feel that AO isnt past the point of no return. Its close to becoming another PBN. Which is what AO used to not want to be. I judge their character by what they post, as you would do to me also. So please tell me why you feel my character judgement is bad....

My point is that some people are TRYING to act like a "Superior" AO member, and becoming the problem, instead of the solution. If you havent posted in this thread flaming this guy, then you fine as far as I am concerned at this point.

None taken.

Am I being a hypocrite? yea you could say that. But I will admit that, most of the other troublemakers cannot admit that what they are doing may not be the right way to handle things. So unforunatley I have to stoop down to their level, so that hopefully they might get what I am saying (Hasnt really worked yet..lol). Plus, its just plain starting to make me angry. What facts are you talking about? What facts are against me? please explain. As I said before, If your not following the moronic behaviors of some on AO, and posting idiotic things in perfectly proper threads, then my rants dont apply to you.

In spite f all the shenannigans, he did get all the useful responses one could expect to get from the situation. The rest of the posts are clearly OT.

Don't feel so bad. If the kid was really offended and put out by a few OT responses to a question that is pretty dumb (givin it's prematurity), he can just delete the thread.

This is the internet, don't take stuff so seriously.

True he did get good info if you read in between the crap posts. IMO, I dont think his post was dumb or premature. The way things happened would make me think it is a possible scam. So he asked for advice and help. Sorry that does not make a stupid post. In your opinion he is worrying prematurely, but in others opinion he isnt. So whos right and whos wrong? No one really, just different ways of thinking about it. But just because you may be right does not justify him being flamed. Does that make sense to anyone else?

The only reason I have taken this stuff as seriously as I have, is I see it as the start of the avalanche of PBN type posts, and the overtaking of PBN type attitude, instead of an much better AO attitude. When someone came to AO and asked questions such as this threads, people prided themselves for helping them, and trying to help them become a member of AO caliber, and not PBN caliber. But now with the quick to flame attitude of some AO'ers, its gonna chase people away, very possibly QUALITY members. The flame fest doesnt make people post better, it sends them the message, "Post like I think you should or go away". the problem is, those that act that way are not representives of AO, they are common members. Basicly it just doesnt have to be this way.
