Neppo, please delete your account and never come back for posting such non-sence.

As for the rest of you.... go play paintball


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

Yea Already Called his former boss and they said they didnt have his home# or addy so before you call me a douceBag take another mydol and go the F to bed.

Ill be glad I never have to come back here one I get this resolved

poter076 I hardly knew ye. I will miss you bud.

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.

I guess he thought common courtesy still existed. Too bad your parents forgot to teach it to some of you.

listen.

if you wanna be respectful, we will be glad to help.

but, if you dont like what your hearing, you are free to try PBN who have vast resources when it comes to situations like this.

have you tried the stickies?

[Steelrat]

listen.

we aint your parents who are forced to put up with your silly little primadonna whining just because your balls arent being stroked the way you like it.

Glickman, with all due respect, a lot of people acted like tools in this thread. I'm getting pissed off reading them, and I'm not even the one who may have been scammed.

This thread looks EXACTLY like the ones everyone accuses PBN of producing.

Seriously, aside from the first couple posts, how much better information can we give him? Does it not honestly look like he is jumping the gun?

... it's never to early to gather information to protect yourself...

Like before mailing money to a complete stranger

/seriously, it's a mail order. Give it 3 weeks from the send date before you start calling people scammers all over the internet.
//When the time comes, then take action... like his employers, internet backround checks, and his local police.
///If you don't know at least this much you had no business dealing on the internet. I at least hope you did a US Postal Money Order.

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?

So, should we go mock everyone who has ever posted a "help me, i've been scammed" thread?

i do see where you were going with the pbn-esqueness of a few members here.

in the best interest of AO, we need a 1 page limit on any topic. any submissions beyond that are just discarded and automatically pm'ed to pneu

anything beyond that turns to unintelligible fecal matter

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?"

/it's not funny he may be involved a scam. He just seems to be jumping to comclusions about someone who has alot of good feedback. Kinda spazzing out a bit.

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.
