dealing with losers

[maylar 10+ year member]

Need advice of a delicate nature - dealing with another forum member on a trade/sale agreement.

Dude emails me and asks if I want to sell some speakers. I say sure, and quote a price. He says he'd pay my price, but would rather trade a HU for them, and I agree. We mutually agree to ship each other's stuff.

After a week I get no HU and no email. I ask what's up and he says he can't find the wiring harness. Ok. So just pay me. No, gonna keep looking for it.

Another week goes by and no word. I ask WTF? and he says he's working on a "deal". Lo and behold I find a thread in the for-sale forum where he's trying to trade MY speakers plus the HU plus some cash for another item. What a fukkin loser.

Now... he's got my speakers, and I got nada. I guess I should've asked for references, but I took the dude on his word. What can I do?

Expose him so he cannot do this to anyone else, report him to the local authorities since you have his mailing address, and proceed to file mail fraud against him.

follow jlaines suggestion and proscute him for mail fraud, also i think the mod's should ban him from this forum and we should also make others on other forums aware of his shady actions..... :thumbsdow :thumbsdow :thumbsdow

Same thing happened to me. I built a box for a pair of 10's for a guy in trade for a 15" sub. We agreed to mail them out on the same day and as luck would have he never mailed out the sub. I only talk to him on AIM. He says "it's going out today/tomarrow..blah blah blah..." and never got the thing yet. I chalk it up as a learning experience.
