Burned by CoilBurner BEWARE

[kpetree]

I had no idea coilburner was WOT, permaban that asshat.

He sure is. I tried proving that with the links, but all the @ssholes on the first page told me to chill out.

This is the exact reason this forum has gone to $hit for a lot of sales. You try to keep people honest and you have a bunch of people trying to defend based on reputation. I have bought on this forum 2 times, both times with pictures, and both times I was scammed to a degree. I received my items, but they were not as pictured and I'm sure one item wasn't even the same one that was in the picture (not from Coilburner, btw).

If Goob is so interested in preserving his Google ad revenue and making this website a sellable entity, he should try to provide a better level of customer service for his customers. Letting his Customers (users) get scammed by other users is not productive for making this site a profitable business. What's the use of having moderators that have no power to moderate/ban/delete scamming users?

We have the power to ban. The reason he hasnt is so he has a chance to communicate with the buyer.

His other screen names are Qxxx4, WOT, QuantumAudio which are all known scammers.

If you know he has other screen names that he has been scamming under, WHY wouldn't you perma-ban him after the 2nd or 3rd alias?
Letting people make multiple names is opening the door to scamming, harassment, etc. Multiple screen names should be at least a temporary ban and a perma-ban after the 3rd name is created. [/soapbox]

Not only that, he has had multiple times to communicate with me.

Ignorance is bliss. His other screen names are all banned except for the one in question here. The only reason its not banned is so he can communicate with the OP.

I think Bobby was trying to imply that after two accounts of being a known scammer, why would CA let him make another account.

Cant do anything about it. He can change his IP when he wants. All we can do is ban his screen names. This is why we offer to IP check anyone before you make a deal.

[kpetree]

That's great, I didn't know you offered IP checks before any transaction. I'm not blaming anyone besides myself, I just wanted people to be aware of this guy, because he also has some amps for sale and his original post with the HDC3's is still open.

OP did the right thing. If the man said it will ship on day X, then he expects tracking number on day X. If the seller for whatever reason cannot ship the item as said, then send a quick PM letting buyer know... Too many scammers in this forum. Everyone has the the right to be concerned if item has not been shipped on the day said.

Exactly. I wonder how long Whitedragon has known that Coilburner is the same person as the other accounts? You could have a double email verification system where they must have 2 working email accounts to verify their identity. Eventually they would grow tired of making fake yahoo and gmail accounts.

I have only known since this thread was made. I dont just sit around and do IP checks.

Better open a paypal claim. and if you paid as gift or didnt use paypal you're sol.

[hari-bhari]

i just did. thankfully i didnt send as a gift, but i did use my bank account so my CC company wont back me up. he has replied to my claim saying that the amp was tested, but it is definitely NOT working
