It's been over a week and once again I am getting notified that no one is receiving their goods from Jabroni.
I will remove this topic once orders are fulfilled.
To bring you up to speed.
Dude has all this stuff to sell to pay a fine.
Gets $ then goes on vacation(?)

Do not do any more business with this guy until I get told that orders are arriving.
I am thinking of a warning thread that will indicate those folks that do not do business properly or are flat out frauds.
Once your name hits that list, it shall not be removed, so I would recommend that all those that are sellers here, be advised to ship your goods once purchased by a member in a manner that is tracable, give tracking numbers to your purchaser and protect yourself (and your client).
Fraud is not tolerated here, go screw someone on Ebay.
being a victim of our latest 'jackass', i am very steemed. Ive seen too many scams and frauds go on and i think it HAS to be stopped here.
(Pending aproval from Forahobby)... I, as an admin, suggest doing escrow on ALL transactions unless you are SURE you know who you are dealing with. As some companies are costly going thru this route, I can provide this for you. Keep in mind, I am a member in good standing for nearly a year and a half and an Admin of more than 6 months, so you can hopfully trust me to beable to 'mediate' these transactions. Im not looking to make tons off these. I only want 10 dollars, shipping costs, and paypal fees. I will ship AS SOON AS members ok there side of the deal. Of course, this isnt required by any means, its only here to put a rest to worried buyers. If any other admins think this action is questionable, just delete this section of the post or make an appropriate EDIT.
hate it that it comes to this type of things, now i have to figure out how to get money back from paypal...thanks alot bastard... _________________ XCM Halo 2 blue case

There is no doubt that Da-goat is trustworthy and this makes for an interesting idea. Might end up time consuming Da-goat. But we need to do something to stop folks like this. I had a bad feeling from the get-go on these deals. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

as long as i only need to forward packages (can open and check to make sure items are described upon request) it should go fairly smooth.
im aquiring a new workshop, getting EVERYTHING BRAND NEW. so ill beable to have everything organized alot better and i already have daily UPS pick ups so it shouldnt be a problem at all for me. i hate seeing people getting ripped, and after i myself get ripped, i get pissed... not i have to go thru all that paypal refund crap and prolly only for them to tell me they can only give me 2 cents out of all the money i paid for those 5 cases back... _________________ XCM Halo 2 blue case

hi guys,
I always suggest paypal or like da-goat mentions ESCROW.. Alot of large companies now only use ESCROW.. So i too agree and would use it myself.
Paypal is quite good actually.. They have a 30 day turn around which isnt bad.. A credit card company normally wont even chase it up for you. Paypal request a delievery receipt so if they cant provide you get your money back.
It does work! Trust me.
Da-goat, sharky.. We should start a new topic and pin it to the CLASSIFIEDS Section.. We will leave all the information we know of users who have caused issues/fraud etc etc.. Sound good?
Ill start the topic.. Please just edit as you like moderators and add the latest abusers of our community.
cheers for thinking of the HQ members too guys.. Thats what our job is. If it can happen to us it can happen to anyone 10x. Share your knowledhe with the family. _________________ HQ Network:

No posts, no explaination.
But has an email of ImABigDumbIdiot@aol.com if you wish to contact him.
Supposedly
Reminder: I will remove this thread should all goods purchased be delivered to those that have paid.
I would recommend at this point that anyone using paypal consider reporting your sale as fraud and see if you can obtain your money back.
Some are already taking that action.
I remind you that Jabroni told Da-goat that everything was shipped on 1/25 and yet no one has gotten any product. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

I agree with something like that. Jabroni screwed me out of a stock xbox case. I know it was only $6 bucks, but it's the principal of the thing that ticks me off. I sent him a PM asking what was going on and I got this in return:
"I dunno what went wrong, but UPS fucked all my shit up, and had it shipped where it didn't belong, so while I'm waiting on them to resolve this issue, I'll be sending refunds to you guys."
So obviously he knows people caught onto his scam and he's trying to cover his ass. Something definately needs to be done to deter this kind of thing from ever happening again. _________________ XBOX v1.6c

Ya, UPS are such amatures. They haven't been around very long and just got in to shipping recently. Poor guy. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

I saw this scam from a mile away when he was trying to sell 360's....even though he could post pictures (possibly ones off google) he said he lost the reciept (which you know you hang onto quite dear these days) and I told him I would buy his system if he sent it to me first since I am obviously not going anywhere but he said he needed the money in ten days and his method of shipping would take up to 14 days (well send faster than 14 day shipping and he would have had his money in his paypal account the day I got it) but no he then decided that he would accept a partial payment....seems like there are just a ton of scammers out there now....seems like the old saying that went something like "if its too good to be true then it probably isn't" is actually correct....spend a little extra money and get from someone reputable...later. _________________ Xbox V1.6

Yeah i have been talking to Shark2th from the begining about this guy, when i decided i wanted to buy from him he showed me evrything on his webcam and I thought I made a good choice, but it just goes to show ya never really know a guy. And UPS doesnt mess shit up they have been in buisness for a long time. Do you think its fuckin magic that all the shit everyone orderd from him just all got lost at once, nope no fuckin chance. UPS maybe could have lost 1 thing but not that much stuff. I personally only lost 36 dollars, I feel however for those who lost more than I.It has been almost a month and still no goods or refund WTF? Well I guess u live and learn right. Pardon my language. Godd luck with future plans to stop scammers.
