Bad Guy Steve Shillingford - [email protected] - Scammer

[Ameivaboy]

Here's this dudes scam - ordering animals - having his "friend" pay for it - then after the animals are shipped the "friend" disputes the paypal and paypal will refund the "friend because the animals weren't shipped to the "friends" address.

The amount of money in my transaction was small - but other people apparently weren't so lucky

My dispute is still on going with paypal - but here's a link I just came across where this guy has pulled the same crap - and below are the emails - I posted as many as I could find - but I get over 50 a day so it was no easy task finding these.

Please email me with the name of the person sending it when they have sent it as I have tons of paypals coming in.
I'll need to receive payment pretty soon if I am to make the shipment today - I have to get to UPS by 4:30 pacific time and have other shipments to pack as well. Thanks!!!

Hi Steve,


No I did not receive in time for my UPS run


I will verify it was done when I get back to the facility tomorrow.


Shipping on a thursday is a no go for me.

If the package gets delayed it would get held over the weekend
instead of being delivered the next day.


I can ship Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday


Just let me know your preference. Thanks

Give me 2 weeks, and I'll get the money to you.

I gave him 2 weeks - but my time was running out with the paypal dispute - and today I came across those other threads with him pulling this same scam.

So just giving everyone a heads up. Lesson learned on letting "friends" pay for items.

 

[reptilebaby]

Wow. That's ridiculous. I guess the rest of us will know to make him pay himself!

 

[Lucille]

Kevin please send Paypal this info as well.

 

[Ameivaboy]

Kevin please send Paypal this info as well.

Yes I most certainly am going to send all relevant info to paypal.

 

[Ameivaboy]
