FRAUDULENT SELLER: PLEASE HELP ME IN MY TIME OF NEED!!!

Okay guys, just want to give everyone the heads up on an ebay seller you need to stay the FUCK away from. I sent payment to this guy for a Sengoku 3 AES more than 20 days ago, and have received nothing but shitty excuses as to it's whereabouts (and that's when I actually can get a hold of him). To give you a better idea of what this guy is like, here's a conversation I had with him (and his retarded kid) over AIM about a week ago:
Geardust: Hi Steve,
just wondering if you could tell me when you sent the Sengouki 3 out
SCURVYSKULLX: Ronslow?
Geardust: naw this is Steve Howarth
Geardust: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1350942815" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1350942815</a>
SCURVYSKULLX: Who?
Geardust: the guy who bought the neo aes cart off you
SCURVYSKULLX: Oh you must want Steve Sr.
Geardust: yeah
SCURVYSKULLX: He is not here, but I know he sent it out because I took it to the post office for him
Geardust: okay, could you tell me when you sent it?
SCURVYSKULLX: Last week wednesday
Geardust: hmm, I didn't get it yet
Geardust: did you send it with a delivery confirmation number?
Geardust: is there anyway you can proove that it was sent?
Geardust: Hello?
SCURVYSKULLX: What?
Geardust: is there any proof that you sent it out for him? Like a delivery confirmation?
SCURVYSKULLX: Thunderstorm
Geardust: what's that?
SCURVYSKULLX: A storm that produces thunder and lightning
Geardust: so no delivery confirmation?
SCURVYSKULLX: I have to wait until my Dad getsn home I will have him email it to you PSKL
Geardust: umm, okay. I hope so
SCURVYSKULLX: umm, okay?
Geardust: all right
SCURVYSKULLX: I sense doubt and fear fear leads to anger anger leads to hate hate leads to suffering(yoda)
Geardust: okay, who is this I'm speaking too? Steve Sammon's son?
Geardust: ???
SCURVYSKULLX: ___________ ___________
O O
oo

_______
Geardust: whoever you are I'm not feeling very confident in this transaction anymore
SCURVYSKULLX: Crazy Eddy, OO
_____ _______
O O
oo

Check the feedback all good, I just funning with you, I will have Dad email the confirmation number to you,
Geardust: okay
SCURVYSKULLX: Don't worry my dad delivers the goods, always,
SCURVYSKULLX: Do you have eight man for neo geo?
Geardust: all right, I've just gotten somewhat nervous about this because I sent payment over 2 weeks ago
Geardust: nope, but I've got a lot of the higher meg game carts
SCURVYSKULLX: Yeah, the po is slow, all his customers have been getting their stuff later than expected
SCURVYSKULLX: I think it has something to do with it being electronic goods
Geardust: well it surprises me because I can't live more than 400 miles away from Brooklyn OH
SCURVYSKULLX: wow, where do you live?, send me your address so I can look in my dads file for you po reciept
Geardust: Munster IN
SCURVYSKULLX: Hey my dad is home hold on
Geardust: okay
SCURVYSKULLX: Hello?
Geardust: Hi, Steve?
SCURVYSKULLX: Yes Sir, sorry about my son he shouldn't be on my screen name.
Geardust: do you have a DC for the Sengouki 3 Neo AES cart, I still didn't get it
Geardust: don't worry about it
Geardust: your son said it was sent out last Wensday, but it most definetly should have been here by now. Considering I only live in IN
SCURVYSKULLX: I had a problem with my last shipment, eight of my packages where lost and three were returned to me, one of the three was your Neo Geo cart, So first thing Tuesday I am sending to you Priority mail which should only take three days at the longets, soryy for the delay, I don't understand why it was returned to me unless no one was home to sign for it?
Geardust: all right, I just wondered where it was
Geardust: was starting to get nervous about it being lost
SCURVYSKULLX: Yeah I have had lots of problems with the po, I am starting an UPS delivery soon, because I can't have this happen to people any more
Geardust: there's always someone here to sign for stuff, so it couldn't have been that
SCURVYSKULLX: Again I am sorry for the delay and my goofy son, but I will send you a dc asap Tuesday
Geardust: Okay thanks Steve
SCURVYSKULLX: Thanks again
Geardust: no problem, take care
SCURVYSKULLX: You do the same. have a goodnight
Geardust: you too

So, anyway here's the link to the auction:
<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1350942815" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1350942815</a>
and if anyone in the Cleveland OH area would like to help me straighten him out (TonK I'm looking in your direction) please drop me a pm or e-mail. Thanks. -Steve

The above message was in a previous post I made some two weeks ago. I still am having major problems with this bastard and would appreciate any type of help from someone living in the Cleveland/OH area or (I hate to bother you, because you do so much for us) Sonny. Thank you. -Steve

At least file a mail fraud claim since you used USPS.

Brent

Sorry about your troubles dude

On a different note - this is the auction which reduced the price of Sengoku within the price list if i remember right

goes to show - if its cheaper than it should be it may be a scam

fucking scammers - fucking hate them i do

OK, I can take care of this.

First, wait the 30 or so days ebay designates for the transaction to be completed.

Next, if he doesn't send it email me his contact info and I will call him.

If he fails to complete the deal I will personally show up at his door and take what the motherfucker has and hold a raffle.

Seriously, if he fails to complete the deal I will get it taken care of.

man that fucking bastard, don't worry though he'll get his. stick it to him!!!!!

Sounds like something Dion Dakis would do. No one has that bad of luck with the post office. He is just making excuses. Strange, he looks to have pretty good feedback. Have you left him negative feedback? After you get it (when Hell freezes over)be sure to get positive feedback from him first then give him super shitty feedback. Contact ebay about this. I have been burned before on ebay but $135 - that has got to hurt. <img src="graemlins/blowtop.gif" border="0" alt="[Blow Top]" />

Sorry about your troubles man
i have the same problem with fucking Enternal he never send the jvc eyes x sega cd <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" />

FUCKING-A now he's unregistered.

Mail me his contact info:

Complete address, no P.O. boxes

and a phone #

I'll get you more than what you paid for and a little for myself

Fuck that motherfucker.

Hey TonK, just e-mailed you the info. Thanks again. -Steve

Well I finally got my game, and on my birthday no less! Whatever it is you did Tonk, I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart! If you ever have a problem with a seller around here just let me know, and I'll return the favor.
-Steve

yeah lets start a neo geo mafia
if someone rips you off, they get a visit and an offer they cant refuse
well have members in most of the states, europe, asia and s. america as far as i can tell

"It doesnt count unless I kill him"......Mike Tyson 1991.

man glad you got your stuff, thats awsome you did that for him tonk.

Yes, I agree with you guys!. It would be really nice to have a neo-geo mafia heh heh. We collectors and gamers vs the fraudulent sellers of the world!.

And yes, Tonk seems to have done something which deserves real praise! I would also like to have some neo-geo buddie to help me in a case like that....hmmm...perhaps I'll need it in the future, since I buy most of my stuff from overseas <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />

Its cool man, I just emailed you, do what I said.

Wow TonK! Tell us what you did! Are you a real gangster? Do you work for the Mafia? Or you just have seen all the Tarantino's and Martin Scorsesse's films?
