Phil, sorry to hear about this. You probably won’t see a dime. Please look at these forum posts.

Sorry to hear this, Philip. This guy is a scammer of the highest order, and was pulling some notorious stuff here and on Ebay a while back. Apparently he may have some sort of alzhiemers or something, but still...a relative should be monitoring his actions if that's the case.

It would help to have a sticky here in the ads with the names of risky people. There aren't many, but I can think of one or two whom everyone should be warned about. I guess this is good incentive to deal just with forum members, and not to include your email or phone number on the ad.

I know from the other post that everyone seems to want to let this guy off as a nut, but it has to stop somewhere. It's time to either correct it or call the local police and have him busted for fraud.

Philip, I sure hate to hear about something like this happening on the Forum! I have never sold anything, but I have purchased a few things, and if its not a lot of money, it's often easier to send cash. More often than not I get my purchase before I know the payment has arrived. Trust means a lot to some of us, and I've allways felt I could trust most of the SGF members, what's the world comming to?

Sorry you got burned, Phillip.

Your buyer is not a Forum member and could not have contacted you if you didn't post your name and number.

Scammers get kicked off the Forum, but they can continue to scam if sellers want to risk dealing with them.

I have dealt with Phil and he's a good guy to do business with, I hope it all works out for you, however I think I was scammed by a forum member from Denham Springs, LA. I won't mention names YET he has said he sent payment once, it never arrived, he did promise the money several times but I'm not holding my breath. It has been three months. Better luck to you Phil.

This is the danger of publicly posting your contact information. On one hand, it allows legitimate buyers who aren't members to contact you. On the other hand, it opens you up to crooks like Dardeman.

That guy is really bad news. I kicked him off of the forum a couple of years ago because of deals gone bad. I block all emails from him.

bOb you are right, but the way I look at it there has to be trust on both sides. A guy sends me funds trusting me that I'll ship him what he's ordered so I usually ship his item trusting him when he says he's sent payment. MHO
