#181
it was a joke to newbie2..
The first sign of him being a scammer is he told everyone that he asked like 100 people to use a camera and couldn't get one but he had these R/C cars with thousands into them but couldn't afford a camera .? Come on man give me a break and noone would let him use one for like 10 minutes.... fresh on the site and guys just bought into his ass.... next time check into things guys and do not deal with anyonw who cant produce pictures unless their a known member with good standing.....
NEED TO MAKE IT RULE THAT NO MEMBER CAN EVEN POST IN THE FOR SALE SECTION AT ALL UNLESS THEY HAVE AT LEAST 50 TO 100 POSTS AND THAT WILL HELP STOP THIS CRAP!!!!!!!

At the moment we are waiting for a minimum 100 post count before a user can post in the FS section to be implemented. You'll know when I know.

Instead of the previous idea of having a member post at least 100 posts or whatever before selling something, they should have to buy something before selling something. Anyone can post a bunch of useless posts, but if you don't actually send the money, you won't get the product and nobody gets burned. Look at their trader rating! it's right there! Why did nobody see that this dude had no trader rating, no pics, bad grammer, etc. So yes, I am saying it's their fault. There is NO PROTECTION on this site, so we have to be smart.

does anyone know
Camps23 he's from canada has zero feed back and keeps re asking questions I have asked already....sounds like a bot or a scammed?
Edit: he payed me and everything seems ok he just wanted to know every detail and was cautious. I told him once the money clears I will ship. So he is no scammed so far.

The part that really sucks about this thread, for me at least. I rarely use forums, but came on here to sell off some of my old RC stuff that was piling up. I could do Craigslist, but figured the users on an RC forum would know the true value of these items. I have been unable to sell anything simply because I have a 0 trader feedback, which won't ever change because everyone's afraid of being scammed. To top it off, now I don't think I want to sell here cause *I'm* afraid of being scammed. Talk about one bad apple spoiling the bushel.
So for anyone that just started on the for sale forums, good luck buying or selling. I heard about this Sam guy all of 5 minutes ago, and already I would do unspeakable things to him because of the negative impact he has had on the whole community. The worst part is that he wasn't the first, and won't be the last. Guess I'll have to stick to Craigslist where all my selling can be done in person...

Bump.
Thanks for the heads up. One of the guilty members you mentioned, kevinfortier, has a new FS post up called "Everything Must Go".
There have been at least 4 requests from members who want to make a purchase and no response from the seller.
