Yep you've got it ALMOSTGOOD is the user in question, i'm submitting a paypal dispute right now. Don't deal witht his guy he's a scammer.
I paid through payapl with my credit card so hopefully i've got 2 ways to claim if paypal can't do anything.

I personally would also place a Dispute with your CREDIT CARD COMPANY, for not getting what you paid for.

Here is the thread i bought the Mezz for if anyone is interested.

I even paid $50 for shipping as it was to U.K, i paid $285 to this scammer.

My credit card company are sending me a form to fill out, they then will refund me immedaitly and chase ALMOSTGOOD's mom's bank account to be refunded.

So i'm on the look out for a Mezz again, if anyone has got one for sale get in contact...and i've learnt my lesson i'll only deal with people with more than 1 itrader (which was from a raffle btw) or decent rep and can be vouched for by sellers on here.


Thanks for everyones help and advise:thumbup: shame a few scumbags are getting away with fraud on here, ruins it for us good guys.
 
Forgot to mention this guy claimed his name was FRANK CORTIJO and he was from Ohio His paypal was lonestarsadie3@aol.com and the paypal user which i guess is his mom is DEBBIE CAREY.
Anyone know this guy? or from Ohio?

He sounds like a young person in dire need of a lesson in integrity.

Couldn't agree more.

It sounds like this was a young kid who has little clue how the real world works. There are ethics behind every business and if you don't KNOW those ethics, you shouldn't be trying to do business with anyone... period.

You'd be doing the whole community a service (and teaching this kid a lesson) by revealing him.

The following is from switchboard.com

There were no matches for Frank Cortijo in Ohio, however, there were 5 matches for that last name and one was a Debbie.

Give him a neg iTrader, dispute both paypal and credit card and he should be placed on the bad action list.

Good luck with finding resolution.

Well hopefully this guy gets what coming to him and all monies are returned.

I shot him some red rep and a quick message. Its good to see some people looking out for eachother here. Well done to the rest of you :thumbup:
 
If you click at his iTrader you can see that ric23 (?) gave him positive iTrader today, saying that he paid quickly.

Could he be using ukpooladdict's money to pay off some stuff he bought just recently?

Looking for a bit of advise here. Here's the story

I agreed to buy a cue from a guy on here who lives in U.S. We agree a deal and i send him money through paypal.
He says he will send cue the next day.
Next day comes and he says there's a problem he needs to wait 3 days for the money to clear into his mum's account.

I respond saying once paypal says you have funds the money is yours why the delay? He responds saying he has no money to pay for shipping and will have to wait for the money to clear.

So although i'm little pi**ed off about this i wait the 3 days and pm him asking for an update, has the money cleared? has the cue been shipped? and i receive no response. I pm him every day for the next 4 days asking for an update and receive nothing back, he has been on AZ every day but decided to just ignore all my messages.

So i start to think i've been scammed and give him 1 last chance saying i will submit a claim though paypal tonight unless i receive a response.

So eventually i get a response saying he is sorry for not getting back to me but there is a second problem the money went to his mum's account but he lost it because it cleared her overdraft! he should have the money this week and i am his main priority. He then asks me to be patient with him as he is really broke at the moment and has no job.

I pm'd him back saying i want some answers or a paypal claim is going to happen i want his address and phone number, when exactly will he have the funds? why he ignored my messages? and why did the money clear his mums overdraft surely you would know it was going to do this?
I tell him i want an immediate answer and again i get ignored.

So what would you do? The guy i agreed the deal with has 1 itrader 100% and 300 posts i don't want to unveil him yet untill i decide what to do, and I know its always a risk buying something from a random person and escrow is best but the cue is only worth $235 so not huge loss but thats not the point.

Shall i give him till the end of the week to get the money and send cue?
Should i go straight to paypal and bust him?

what would you do?

I am offering to give him my Fed Ex account number and have the cue shipped to me 2 day air - insured - at no expense to him. I'll get the cue to you reasonably by priority air mail with a customs slip (I ship internationally all the time).

All he will have to do is get the cue to a Fed Ex office, pack it in one of their free boxes, and I will give him all the info he needs to ship it to me.
