Drama concerning Aaron Lewis....

Just posting more information to those who are dealing with this guy.

In early July, AL contacted me with interest with one of my Phantoms. He agreed to trade me his Metal Slug 3 JPN AES & Baseball Stars 2 US AES and then some for it.

These were his replies (each one seperated with quotation marks):

"man are you a savor,
i would love to get my hands on that phantom one!
metal slug 3 is the game that i want to offer people for it. if you want i can get pics to you if you send me a email address.
let me know!
-aaron"


"oh yeah one more thing,
you wouldn't happen to have any mvs games you would be willing to trade for my home carts?
-aaron"


"oh yeah one more thing,

-aaron"


"i am at my girlfriends right now and we are getting ready to go hit the bars.
i will send you detailed pics first thing tommorow, i would love to trade you the metal slug for the phantom one.its the 2nd run and in pristine condition as it is my fav game its only
been played 5 times as i downloaded the rom and play that.
(i know roms are bad) but you should be pleased
with the game.and i have no problem at all sending the game first.
just pm me back and let me know what you would like to do!
-aaron"


"hey kenny,
i have no problem tradeing you the metal slug three for the phantom one, the only bad thing is, i dont have 100 hundred extra dollars to send off to ya.i wish i did cause i would have no problem doing it. thats why i want to ask you is there any other games you would like to add to it that i have?because i really want the phantom one. i am going the mvs route cause of finacial reasons
and since i dont have much money it has been hard for me to try to get ahold of the phantom one.
thats why i dont have a problem taking a loss on a trade. i will worship the groung you walk on if you help me out! i will start a web page in your honor. oh yeah, i will send my stuff first since i am new.
thanks for listening to my sob story
-aaron"


"OH ITS PERFECT. you will be satisfied.
let me know if that one will work out cause i will hold that one too for you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
peace-aaron"


"whats up!
sounds good to me!
i just woke up! a little hung over.
i will be at my house in a little while and
i will send you the pics. had a crazy night last night! its 1:30 pm my time so it will prolly be
around 5 or 6 when i get there my woman is cookin me breakfast(she loves me)but i can not wait to play a true mvs game!!!!!!!!!
-aaron"


"thats right i knew that its the black one. duh
do you know any one on here that would be interested in the rest of my home carts?
i would like to get rid of them for mvs carts.
anyways thanks for all the help, and i will use usps.
-aaron"


"im sending them out tommorow around three!!!!!
yeah i figured ebay would be my best bet!!!!
thanks again!
-aaron"


"its a deal!
wont be until tommorow until i get them sent out
and pics sent tonight(if not tommorow)
but metal slug3 (i will miss my baby! take care of it!!) baseball stars2 and 50bones.
i will ship via ups ground so it will prolly be thursday when you get it
-aaron"


"hello gain,
i am sorry to inform that i am having to back out of the trade. my mother is sick and i am out of town at the moment and might be back for a coupeof weeks. if i could hit you up when i get back and see if we can work some else out that would be much appreciated. if not i tottally understand.
-aaron"

----------------------------

As you can see, he promised me his MINT Metal Slug 3 & MINT Baseball Stars 2, but backed out at the last moment.

I am not accusing him of any wrong doing, just wanted to help some of you out if there is any information inside any of my PMs....

Just how many MS3's does he have?

Looking at the other thread, he had worked trades with atleast 2 or 3 others with Metal Slug 3's.

Geez. I am really frustrated at people who are new on the boards and start to do business the wrong way. It looks bad on other relatively new members as well. I hope this Aaron does fix things pretty soon.

Funny read ! wink

I like that part : "that's my favorite game, I played it 5 times or so" . lol lol lol

I'd like to admit that,I,like many of you,was overcome by greed,and almost made a deal with Aaron Lewis.

He offered me loose MVS carts and complete kits,in exchange for my US Saturn system,5 PCB's,and some Saturn imports.

It seems way too good to be true,so I asked him to send first.

He simply REFUSED.

From there on,I knew something was terribly wrong with this dude.I thanked him for his time,and went on with my business.

I am a new member myself. I had no problem with sending first,back when I didn't have any references.

When dealing with new members,always ask that they send FIRST,especially ones with little or no references.If he/she,somehow,refuse to do so,then it's probably going to turn sour.

You'll be waiting for a long time. Maybe he's out of town again (must be one of those long distance fag escort services).

aaronlewis:

Why don't you post your phone number for these guys to be able to call you?

aaronlewis:
i am sorry i will not post my number on here.
i have seemed to piss off way to mant folks

and phone calls with heavy breathing at 4am are not cool.

It was just a thought!! May help! May not! Just want to see this all sorted out for everyone here!

The stories I have seen posted just seem like excuses to me. There is no way someone could make 19 deals, and promise the same item to several different people and not realize something bad was going to happen.

This guy even PM'ed me about my MVS for sale, offering an Xbox package. Just how many people was he supposed to be dealing with at once?

I hope you guys get some resolution with this, and that he doesn't decide to "disappear" before making up on all these deals. It's a bad situation all around.

oh_no

He did reply to me by calling me. He said that my stuff will be shipped back to me tomarrow. I will update when I get a tracking # and when I recive my package.

Dave

I jus' hope I get my money back.

Man, I gave him my number and he has not even PM'ed me back. He just reads my PM's and that is all. If he does not contact me I am getting my shit returned to me via the Post Office like VT said to do!


GAMEFAN

Some of you might have seen my wanted ad, looking for Metal Slug 1, 2, & X (US, AES), last week. Here's a little chat AL & I had.

AL:
i have a minty fresh aes cart iam willing to hand over for 175$ shipped. (i have 2 of them)
its from the neo store so its in increadble shape, let me know!

ME:
Sounds awesome. Email me some pictures of what you have to offer.

AL:
hey i dont have any pics but i do have plenty of ref.
members liquid snake and david koresh will vouch for me(they are highly respected members)
but like i said the cart is in increadble shape (i bought it from shawn)

ME:
I think I'll have to pass. To bad, I really would like a US Metal SLug X AES version for $175.

AL:
hey man i totally understand,
i will be heading to my folks out in tn next weekend and they have a dig cam. i will shoot pics then and send them to ya.
later
-aaron

ME:
let me know.

Anyways, I never heard from him again. I thought I'd post this. Good Luck everyone who is tied up with his crap. I hope the victims end up on top.

NEOryu

I might as well kiss my $175 goodbye. (sigh)

If i remember well, i holded for Robert Wallace a mvs kit for about 2 weeks, and when i sent a pm again he told me "sorry i bought blabla, no money, a+".
And robert wallace is a trusted member.

A lot of trustworthy people do that.
Sad but true.

Ture, but the difference between Robert Wallace and AaronLewis is that one is a scammer, and one is not.

Thanks for the extra heads up, guys.

This is getting worse and worse... Such a shame it didn't come out earlier.

I have your number..

Reply to my pm and if not I'll call you, your mother and the rest of your family.

WTF, he talks about going out to the bars and shit, but I get the feeling that he's about 13 years old considering the way he types. I'll bet the 'bars' are actually his teenage friends house, and his 'girlfriend cooking him breakfast' is probably his mother.
