I'm not opposed to posting a scammer. I think it's good for all the honest members of the board. I kinda went off in my original post, not because of the specifics of what LiquidMuscle said, but because I hear this shit all the time. Just in case you forgot:
YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE AN ILLEGAL PURCHASE VIA THE INTERNET.
Only a fool would expect everything to go smoothly all of the time.
That being said, my comments weren't meant to be directed to the specific dude who got scammed, but were more general comments directed to whiners who are in over their heads. I know my post didn't sound that way... but I don't edit my posts, so I didn't re-write it.
And another thing: I think all the specifics about what happened (like e-mails, names, addresses, etc.) should be kept between the mods and the person who thinks he got scammed. Then if the mod decides the guy has a legit case, post the scammer's name with a warning. But don't drag everyone's dirty laundry out, unless you want yours dragged out too. And none of us are angels. That's just my opinion. Otherwise, anyone with a grudge (or an agenda) can cause A LOT of trouble... and I've seen it happen.
