Can Somebody in KY Help Me?? I Got Ripped Off...

[APowers365]

I recently bought a pewter ULE body off 'medic49675.' He said he would ship first but said he needed the money fast so it would really help him out if we shipped same time. So, being the nice guy that I am, I sent my money order. He said he would ship that same say and get me a tracking number. I have not received the body and every time I PM him asking him where the body is and when he shipped it he reads the PM but does not write back to me.

I figured something was up and did an extensive search to find out that he was ripping other people off under the AO name 'SilverFox.'

The address he gave me was:
John Mackey
119 Robin Road
Nicholasville, KY 40356

The address he gave people under 'SilverFox' was:
John Mackey
134 Bellerive Blvd PMB #166
Nicholasville, KY 40356

When I do a search for the phone # for 119 Robin Road the person that lives there is Joe Kimmie or something. And the 134 Bellerive address doesn't even seem to exist.

Is there anyone in this area that can help me get my body that I payed for or my money back somehow??

Thanks.

MO? What kind. Can only be cashed by the person made out to. Check and see if its been cashed. And if not you can cancel it.

[APowers365]

It was a Giant Eagle money order (my local grocery store). How would I check to see if it's cashed?? And doesn't it cost like $20 to cancel it??

[FalconGuy016]

Joe Kimmie is probably his friend that is helping him out by using his address, and John Mackey is probably his real name. Try to do a search with that name, or ask your operator.

[kybluemag]

i live in lexington which happens to be real close to nicholasville. if you cant get this resolved soon I know of some people that can help.

[APowers365]

That would be awesome!!

If he reads my next PM but does not respond to it again I will then start calling various phone numbers to try to get a hold of him. If I can't, then I will need somebody to find him and beat the poo out of him.

[nuclear zombie]

So how long has it been since you sent him the money and he was supposed to send you the body? Because people suck it always seems to take 1-2 weeks for them to actually send stuff out. But if you really think you are getting ripped and if you can get some of the other people he has ripped off try calling the local police and have them knock on the guy's door. That tends to get people motivated. He could be running through a friend's house or somthing.

"silverfox" got me a year or so ago for 10$. along with other people and thier markers and money.

you're the latest in a long line. sorry dude. it sucks to get ripped off for 10$, but the amount for a body hurts more, no question.

i can vouch for apowers. i have had dealins with him at least once.

[APowers365]

I gave our dear friend John a call. Not knowing if the number I had was correct when the person answered I asked who he was. He said, "Who are you looking for??" I said John. He replied, "I think you have the wrong number." I then asked if it was 119 Robin Road. He said "Yes." I then explained that I sent a money order to his address, addressed to John Mackey and never got what I paid for. He then said that he would tell John. And I was like..."Oh, you know John??" He said, "He's my brother." That made me confused. Blah blah blah...I'll probably be calling tomorrow.

[the larch]

Sounds like a kid. This means that the parents probably had to cash their money order for them. I would be talking to the parents not the kids now. Parents need to be made aware that they are doing this. Parents will probably have more fear of legal reprisal.
Might want to find out were the local fields are and "tell " them too just for kicks.

i hate mail fraud, it's a very annoying process to go to.

i suggest finding someone in the area to go to the locations listed and check it out.

Another option is to go talk to your local post office. This is officially mail fraud and the post office does maintain an investigation bureau (similar to the FBI - I was thinking about applying is why I know). Just go ahead and report this guy since he's obviously ripped other people off. Then I would call the number back and ask for the head of the house of whatever. Then I would tell that person that about the transactions their som has been making and that their address is listed in an official federal felony mail fraud investigation. That might get someone a good beating from their daddy and it might get you your body. If he ever had it. If nothing else the kid might go to juvvy and a good beating. Also pursue the phone numbers for the local police. You may even want to call the KY state police. On this side of the state (I'm from KY too, but an hour and a half away from him) if you don't get any results from the local boys we call the state police. They usually take everything seriously. I hope you kept a reciept with his name and address on it so you can prove you sent it to him.

I would put a post in the main forum entitled "Been ripped off by Silverfox or medic49675" and give any info obtained there to the PO people.

I hate it when people do this to other players. Absinthe, I also agree with you that it is a shame when people are slow about sending stuff out it's almost as bad because they think they've been ripped. That is why if people I trade with don't ship the day they receive payment or the day after I always leave something negative in their feedback thread unless there was a good reason for it being late. I've been lucky to have not been ripped off yet. I thought I had been a few months ago and it really makes you mad. Sorry about the bad luck. Report this to all authorities you can. You might even be able to get a federal and a local charge going against this kid, and really screw him up!
