Well first things first... yep... this guy sounds like he is ripping people off.
Now lets look into something.
When someone gets "ripped off" on this site people start calling in the owner/admins/mods to see if they can help out. Which we do sometimes. However, there really is limited things we can do. We did not initiate, deal, or have anything to do with YOUR transactions. The site has nothing to do with a transaction between the members. Also there is two sides to every story so if we just go an ban someone off one side of the story?? I would go and look at Marks340 feedback... only 4 feedbacks. Yet your comfortable to stroke a check to someone you never met for a large sum of money ?? DONT get too comfortable on the internet people !! You basically stroked a check to a person on the street on their good word ?? Ok so lets also look at this... Marks340 has 4 GOOD transactions marked on his feedback..... yet... someone else has been ripped off by him ?? Why hasnt someone else posted that as a negative feedback ??? The owner/admins/mods have in place a tool to help show what kind of feedback a person has. Its up to YOU to make the system work... and it does. I am living proof of it. The Feedback program on here is quick, efficient and easy to use. You just have to DO IT.
Over and over again we see where someone ripped off someone else... yet the feedback stays the same. Would you really buy something from ebay with someone that has a 60% rating and poor comments ?? Each person has to take responsibility for your own transactions. Start using the tools provided and research the person you intend to spend big dollars with. Use appropriate ways to pay someone so that you have some way to back yourself up if a transaction goes bad. CASH deals and CHECKS only mean you are waiting for disaster...as this one has. There are people who will take advantage of others as they are creeps....its the responsibilty of the rest of us to use the tools provided and to use our heads to pinpoint and not deal with these people.
