    I got ripped off and need help....

    So this jerk names Wayne Bernard has ripped me off for a bunch of mag stuff that totals to $180 that I sent him and he broke contact right after confirming he had recieved payment... he lives in Miami Beach but I think he's left the country... this totally sucks and now I'm out a bunch of money and dead in the water on a project warp mag I wanted to build... any help would be appreciated and I'm looking to complete the RT warp inspite of gettign ripped off so bad so if anyone has cheap mag stuff like a warp or valve they'd like to sell cheap or even donate let me know... if you have any info on Wayne let me know. His sn was Sting Bat... I'm really bummed out over this... I think he skipped town to Switzerland, spineless bastard.

    Peace.

      He skipped to switzerland? That's odd. What exactly makes you think that?

      I'm sorry for your loss. I'll keep my eyes peeled for this guy.

          No offence, man, but he's probably not going to run off to Switzerland and live a life of luxury on your $180. $180 probably isn't worth leaving town at all - he'd go to a hotel, and, what, hide there for three nights until he ran out of cash?

          Hope you find him, but I highly doubt he's on the run internationally over less than $200. Hop on IRC and make some friends near his hometown.

              Maybe he was already planning to leave, and decided to rip off a bunch of people before he went?

                  It's not about the gun.

                  So you are in Orlando and he is in Miami? How did you make contact with him and what are the rest of the details? I am curious as to how it is the deal went down. Good luck with the parts.

                      Talked to him here and through emails he communicated alot and seemed perfectly trustworthy and then boom disappeared the day after he confirmed he recieved my payment. The reason I suspect he's left town is because he said he was moving to Switzerland and needed cash. Major bumer for me now that he decided to keep his gun and my money... gonna try to sell some stuff to cover it, or possibly trade an air system for some stuff to finish the gun... I dunno this really sucks

                      So no one knows Wayne Bernard or has ever dealt with him before out there? I called the cops but I don't think they're going to do anything. This guy is complete scum and is a disgrace to AO.

                      edit:

                      Jaan is right on, he got someone else but not nearly as bad... I guess he needed his verticle adapter for the gun he parted out to me... well would have. Scumbag, I'm going to do whatever I can to make this stick on him.

                          If I had $180 I'd probably make a break for it as well.

                                  I did a deal with this guy, and I got my stuff just fine...

                                  thats really odd that he would just scam you and not me?

                                  Then again he did a huge sale and I bought something within like 2 horus of it going up so maybe he wanted to look legit.

                                      Did you check references on him? I am very hesitant to deal with New Guys. And that is not to say that all new people are bad. But dealing with someone with a long history on AO or even PBNation, tends to give better results.

                                          I'm in Fort Lauderdale, to get from Orlando to Miami is 3.5 hours. He may still be here, do you have an address? Why don't you come down and look for him?

                                              You should have his address from paypal..

                                              And if you dont I have his address, because I still have the box he shipped stuff to me in.

                                              Anyways you will have to PM me and talk to me before I give out an adress of another person.

                                              The next step is to tell paypal obviously, and the step after that is of course to go to the police, which you did and what did the popo say?
