This is most likely brought to light after what happened to me. He messaged me to text him some pictures of my Losi 22SCT, so I gladly did and didn't think anything about it, he had postiive trader rating. So I did and then he said he knew I was looking for a B5M and he would trade roller for roller. So I asked him to take pictures and send it to me, so he sent me pictures nothing looked out of the ordinary, but the pictures looked fimilar like I had seen them here or B5Nation. So I asked if he would over night it to me and he quite talking to me. So when I got home I did some research, I found that the pictures had been from another For Sale ad from another memeber, and then I googled his phone number and it came up as another RCTech user that had been suspend. He also started another account so he could give himself trader rating. Since then I messed with him for a day or so then told him I knew he was a fake and he wasn't getting any of my stuff.

It's too bad that every now and then we get these ******** that want to come on here and do these things. It's good that they're exposed before they get over on someone

Actually no, another member wasn't as lucky as you! They set up a trade, a trade for a 22SCT for an AE buggy either a (4.2 or B5) Guy with the SCT had no feedback so he shipped first. This looser never shipped anything. When I asked him if he had any comments on the issue, he simply said "No, have a nice day"

Actually it was the Jacob75 account that technically did the scamming, but he's made 5-6 accounts.

WOW risking to go to jail for petty / grand larceny over an RC vehicle? Hopefully the person who got scammed contacts the scammers local police and reports it.

So, is this Burnzie guy a scammer? Didn't think much of it till someone posted about it and I paid him recently for something. He said he would ship today but hasn't got back to me with shipping info. Here's the thread:
http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...x-all-nib.html

I'll file th Paypal tomorrow but want to give the person 1 day as the one complaining bought the item I didn't and chit can happen for 1 day.
