Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Does he know about this thread? Do you have proof? Email's, texts, messages, anything at all will help your case. What is the timeline here? When did you first inquire? When did you pay? When was he supposed to ship, ect? All of this information will help you out quite a bit. Good luck!

If you can get screenshots of any emails, or messages showing you have tried repeatedly to contact him. I hate to see this happening again, but from all the PM's and Facebook messages I have been getting in the past month from other people he is still at large.

Wow I can't believe I have seen so many of these recently. I was just vending at a local show with him, (not WITH him, but he was there too) - It is a shame that the local people visiting the shows don't know what goes on behind the scenes because they are supporting his bad dealings and they don't even know!! Most of the local vendors here have also had bad dealings with him, via trades, or even just how he simply treats people around him. I also do not like this guy as he tends to be very rude to people. I do not recommend doing business with this guy UNLESS you are local and can see him in person, even then he is still a shady guy and I would be very cautious of him.

Wow, that was fast.
This pretty much eradicates any smidge of hope I had that he'd end up flying straight.

I noticed that Swanee's is not on the vendor's list for the NWCB Expo, in October....
No posts on Craigslist.... The only place I have recently seen anything is Ebay Classifieds.
I would say flyers or a lemonade stand is next.

If he's broke why does he have a wanted ad in the chameleon section that he posted today on kingsnake? Sellers beware.
