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.

Steven Baccari aka username "Goodfella1231"?
Steven and I set up a trade for a corn pair swap, and arranged for it a week ago last monday. He kept pushing the date back further and further, and i emailed him daily. Now I get no response. Just kind of weird that he would just up and disapear on me like that. Let me know if anyone has done business with him before. But as of now it seems like he was trying to scam me, by waiting until the end of the day and asking if i shipped, and saying he couldn't that day.So looking for some info but as of now to me he's a bad guy.
Thanks in advance for any info;

Yes I know. A very close call. But I just kinda had this gut feeling from the begining ya know? Like I knew what the situation was going to be like. It was very sketchy, and I like to buy/trade/or sell with confidence. No one should ever have to second guess their actions, but there are deffinatly those types of people out there. As for notifying him, no I haven't. But I'm guessing I should, just to give him a chance to defend himself. I'm guessing he's just going to repeat everything he said to me. But like I said I'm not accusing him of anything what so ever. Just trying to pull up some info and see what his past shows.
Thanks for the insight guys;

Cant get in trouble for informing the public, thats what the info part of the BOI is for. Maybe he's not a scammer, but not a good trader.
Gut feeling is good to go with these days. Goddamn scammers popping up everywhere.

Yep, Thats why I personally really appreciate this BOI forum, and others who are newer to the site should really learn the features and tools of it. Exactly what you said Pav, "maybe he's not a scammer, but not a good trader". And the gut feeling's a given idk what it is in us. Maybe just a sixth sense.lol
