Silver Fox MIA??

[madmatt151]

So has anyone heard about Silver FOx? Has he disappeared? Should I consider the money I Paypaled him gone? Any info would be great. Thanks.

There was a discussion about this in the Markers forum.

Basically he has disappeared from the internet. Stopped using eBay, etc.

There were always issues with that guy..He bought something off me from eBay payed me and didn't give me a shipping address for two weeks. Then finally he gave me a work address or something... and yes, consider that money gone unless you can still reverse payment.

I thought there was a way on paypal to see if the money was taken out of the paypal account, or to see if the cash was accepted or something...

so did he take it?

since he has appernetly ripped off many people (me included) via the internet and has since dissapeared, has anyone considered he may have been doing the same in person, got caught and may be in jail or something? just a thought.

you can get your $$$ back if it was within 30 days of payment...after that tough luck, i went through that when i bought my LED angel..still pissed about it

Silver Fox was a scam. I hope he is in jail.

The thing is he was in business for a while. He apprently did business with many people and wasn't scamming. This is why I was so suprised.

The scoop on the "fox"

The guy was a scammer - who it appears used horrible stories of family tragedy to try to get off the hook for broken promises. At this point the family "troubles" appear to have just been a smoke screen - can you imagine claiming your wife was in the hospital with a jepordized pregnancy to explain away your misdeeds?

Attached are 2 threads related to guy, and as a bonus, a write up I did of all of the inconsistencies in his stories.

It appears he made off with a number of markers, including a classic SMG-60.

"Updates on Mag pump kits, pump rods and neccessary mods. " (skip to page 4)

Here are my comments from the Pump Rod thread - the funny thing was that there were a number of people willing to leap to his defense during this time. My point was "if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck - it might just be a duck." People really gave him the benefit of the doubt to ultimately be screwed.
