ok oct.5 sent money to a remailer.the remailer works for a guy in brazil [big source] for a bottle of fina[$250] im'm assured by the guy in brazil they both can be trusted,his famous line "you can trust me friend" i'm told this many times along with "don't worry i won't scam you".well he emails me about a month later saying the remailer went bad and scammed him out of 14 bottles of fina,ok i can beleive that ,but the problem i have is the guy in brazil isn't trying to reconcile anything.he basically told me to take care of it myself.now i have never dealt with any1 that hasn't taken the responsibility of their employees.so now you guys tell me to post him or not? he knows i'm doing this i told him ,so i'm sure some1 will come on and defend his cause.yes he still emails me back when i ask him about my fina.i ve talked to two mods and 1 has had trouble with him b4.so you guys be the judge.    | ||

Glad to see you talked to a mod. It's been 3 months since you sent the money, so I'd say yep you were scammed.  | ||

I think I know who you are talking about. I too went through a re-mailer and lost 204 bucks. The direct from brazil (after a lot of convincing) cut me a good deal on some gear direct and I decided to go direct through him (i made a small order of course just in case). The direct shipment came through fine. If it is who I think it is then I wouldn't post him and regarding your post before I do not work for him and I am not defending him. You be the judge of your own opinions but i just wanted to relay my story  yes i did get fucked but it really was the re-mailer, and btw, if it is the same remailer who's name begins with an "s" or a "c" then e-mail me cause we really should do something about the bastard.E | ||

Remailer is not employee of source you're talking about.Tons of guys get stuff from him directly,and it looks like you got scammed by remailer,and source can't be responsable for your decision to deal with scammer in the first place,of course you didn't know that he's gonna turn scammer!Instead of pointing finger at source(it's easier he's visible!)you should work with mods and vets on getting to remailer,you see,may be "E" knows something,that's a first step! And I don't work for that guy,it's just the way I see the situation... | ||

Yeah, I trust the man from Brazil is a good guy. LOTS and LOTS of people have ordered direct from him with no trouble. And I don't work for him. | ||

Post the remailer's name and address. The original source in Brasil should have compensated you. ------------------ | ||

hey bro's, I got a question that is kind of related to this. I sent money a month ago to the aforementioned source in Brazil. He swears he has never received the money, and I am inclined to beleive him seeing as the tracking information from the post office just tells me my money left the US on Nov. 28th, after that, nothing. So gman suggested I contact the post office and raise some shit, my question is, what can I really do? I know the local post office bums aren't going to help me for dick, I can spare myself that aggravation, those people know just about as much as I do on how to run a post office. So what can I do? Is it possible the gmans indiscreet ways have flagged his addy, and that my money was shanghaid by either the US government or the Brazilian post office. | ||

BigPBastard, I had the same problem. I e-mailed global express that they said would take three days...I tracked it and all it ever said was "left the us on..." it still says that, but he has recieved it and told me so. It actually took it 9 days to get there. Either your package is still on the way there or the post office lost it...call them and track it over the phone with them E | ||

Well Bros! that�s everyday story here in third world south america! I can almost swear that the money will never be stolen at the states, but when it touches our grounds!! u can forget about it. There are no other safer ways to make worlwide transactions? (taking apart the unaccesible Credit card systems). Brothers, that information can really help me out! | ||

yeah, I'll probably do that, but damn, it left the states on the 28th of Nov, if he ain't got it by now, I don't think he's ever going to get it. Which is a shame, he's got good prices, but if he doesn't get my money soon, I'm going to have to look domestic exclusively from now on. I just want to add though, that I don't find gman in any way responsible for this or that I don't beleive him. He's been cool as hell all through this, and his return emails are always prompt. I just wish he was sending from somewhere else besides South America. | ||

I encountered a super long delay when sending my money to Mr. Brazil as well. DHL said my package would arrive in 3 days...ending up taking two weeks...and the tracking info was also very sketchy. There was no tracking info for the first five days, then it started tracking. I would serious wait a couple more weeks. You would be surprise just how backed up the international mail system is during the holidays. I read a sign in my local MB Etc, and it said that to gaurantee international shipments before Christmas, they recommended sending postal packages by OCTOBER 31!!!! Almost two freaken months before Christmas G. is really cool, chances are, your money is still in transit. | ||
