Normally I would not post something like this but after thinking about it overnight and monitoring his activity for several hours online yesterday I thought it was best to warn the folks here. As you can see below there is no cause for alarm within our discussion except maybe post count and history on the site. "Frank" approached me with a trade proposition that seemed legit. Clearly it was risky for me since I am on the east coast and would be the first to drop off at Fedex and to provide the tracking information. The package was delivered yesterday as promised and "Frank" was online most of the night browsing the for sale threads and completely ignoring my messages to him on status check of his end of the bargain.
The reason for me posting so shortly after my transaction gone bad is because I fear he is communicating with other members through PM as he did with me and not posting so this seemed to be the best way to warn other members.
BE CAREFUL with frankd and hopefully the mods will check his ip address to be sure he is not using multiple screen names. I saw a few folks checked out his public profile so that also led me to believe there may have been a chance he contacted them.
This is the first time I have ever posted something like this on any site and I hope it is the last but like I said earlier, I felt it was better to warn folks versus others getting into the same situation I did. In all honesty the trade was not a big deal or big loss except shipping and I only went through with it because he offered it so part of me felt like he would be excited to get the water snakes so why not go through with it.
