I gave PayPal screen shots of all of the transactions, the relisting, the picture of the date etc. The worst detective on the planet could have put this clear fraud together and they still refunded his money.Agreed. PayPal should know.
J Holmes is all I have. I sent to Flushing NY, but he said he worked in Jersey, I believe.
I sold a cue case to Jack 195 . He paid through PayPal and I shipped the case as normal. I never heard anything from him regarding any issue that he may have had with case.
Out of nowhere I receive an email from PayPay stating that the buyer is disputing the item as it was " not as described in listing". He claimed that the case was made in 2010 and not 2016 as was in my listing. The case has a very clear signature of Dennis Swift 10-2016 on the bottom. Furthermore the case was made for me by Dennis so I know damn well how old it is.
What makes this even more interesting is that he was willing to take a 40% discount and call it square.
HERE IS WHERE IT GETS REALLY GOOD.. While disputing the case and trying to get a discount, he simultaneously is relisting the case at double what he bought it for and listing it as made in 2016!
My listing he bought it from:http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?459153&p=5960296#post5960296
His listing reselling the case he is disputing: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?468811&p=6078742#post6078742
I'm not sure what his angle is here. Maybe he figured out that PayPal sides with the buyer almost always regardless of the evidence that you provide them and he just does this repeatedly finding people who will just yield and give the discount??
J. Holmes is 100% Jeff Forney. He has used that alias forever.
Forney has always lived upstate at the same address. Scam central. Flushing is in the NYC area. I could be wrong but I don't think it's the same guy. Jack was going to buy some wood from me last week but decided not to after paying via paypal and the ship to address was Flushing. I refunded his money and did not ship the wood as per his request. Seems like if he was going to scam me he would have had me ship it. The money was minimal and I wasn't too concerned.

Maybe its Jayson Shaw :rotflmao1::rotflmao1:Maybe everybody is out to get him...?
Do we have a sticky thread someplace with a list of known scammers? Name and address would be great. This way someone can check it after receiving paypal payment. That way you could just refund it right then and save yourself the hassle.

Forney is actually considerably more intelligent than Holmes from my experience. And considerably more criminal.
