i got shafted on my first transaction on AT, how do i involve authorities?

Post by nervegrind3r »

I shipped out 2 brand new 250gb harddrives to an established AT member with over 50 heat almost a month ago. Initially, they told me they had paypal problems and i dealt with it. I asked them to send mo to me 2 weeks ago and its been cat and mouse with this guy. Called him several times, emailed several times, and he's kept promising to send payment (promised like 5 times to send it today). The mods at AT have been working with me thus far and they have locked his account. I was promised tonight once again that payment would be sent out and I would receive confirmation, and no dice once again.

Whats weird tonite is that I checked his heatware profile again and it says user does not exist anymore. What does this mean? did he switch accounts or did he close it?

anyway, i need to involve authorities on this at this point. I have given up hope resolving this by phone and online communication. How should I go about this? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Check your private message here shortly. But please do post his name here so others are warned.


As for his heatware, he may have intentionally changed his email. Especially if any started to leave him bad evals. Anyway check your pm here to find out what other info we need. :)

He hasn't replied to my first email so another is sent. If no reply within 24 hours then he'll go on the bad traders list. Once there, you stay.

Then his local authorities will be contacted.

You are most welcome nervegrind3r :)

He just replied:


I have sent an email to Giovanni asking him to verify his paypal
address so I can get him his money. I got in a real bad car accident
(i am ok except that I ca hardly walk cuz of my back pain in case you
are wondering) yesterday while I was on my way to the post office to
send him an MO. This month has been just :p :p :p :ped up for me but I am not
using any excuses. He was very understanding with me and I only wish
that I was able to make it to the PO last week when I told him I
would. Nevertheless I know have the ability to send him some money
from my bank account through paypal so he does not have to wait until
I recover from my accident.

And I want you to know and understand that
this email or any threats of calling the police (not that you guys
have made any) are not the reason that I am paying him. He sold me 2
hard drives and I never had the intention of trolling him. I am paying
him because I would never rip anyone off. That is not the kind of
person I am. I do however appreciate that there are individuals such
as yourself and the rest of the team at Trollhunters as well as the
mods at AT that donate your time and will take interest in the getting
matters that get out off hand resolved. Once again I apologize to and
Giovanni should have his money the minute he verifies his paypal
account. If you need my personal info I will gladly provide it to you
guys. I have given it to Giovanni so you can get it from him as well.


Please send him your pay pal info to his email that he replied from: morgwon@gmail.com

If you would, please also email me your pay pal info and I'll also send it to him, to be sure he has it.

IF he was indeed in a 'car accident' then of course I am sorry. But, we've heard so many excuses from people in the past and present, I am skeptical and we'll wait to see if he does follow through, this time.
