Mike this is no weed, this is crab grass!!!! This guy has ripped off alot of people!!

The 2 members of this board I got thier stuff back for them but god knows how many others I dont know about.

I think a heads up was deffinately needed on this guy!!

Lets Gekiga In · Feb 5, 2003

Thanks for the heads up.

rugal2000 · Feb 5, 2003

"dinner with chris Ray"..........that sounds digusting

buster_broon · Feb 5, 2003

Thanks Sonny

Buster aka scam target' broon beware

some members believe that the winning bidder may have been another ebay account of his or maybe a freind

seems weird to bid on a bin as the ebay fees will be pretty stupid annoyed

SNKJorge · Feb 5, 2003

That's funny we were all discussing
about that auction, and
boom! GA comes in and let us know who
he is.... glee glee glee

Tiptonium · Feb 5, 2003

Thanks GA. Now he's got a PORSCHE 912 COMPLETE RUNNING 67 MOTOR for sale on eBay. Maybe Dion can use it.

chimpmeister · Feb 5, 2003

I'm sorry, but this guy has without a doubt some of the lamest, most poorly set-up and illustrated auctions I've EVER seen. Selling a Porsche engine with this ridiculous description:

1967 complete air cooled 912 motor. ran when pulled with only 56k on it inlcudes vw adapter for vw tranny and clutch disc. includes solex carbs and tin.

No pictures, no feedback, no references, can't even write English straight. What a freaking moron, who in their right mind would bid $500 for this item (the starting bid) or bin it at $1500 with a shit sorry writeup like that? Pathetic . . . :rolleyes:

DangerousK · Feb 5, 2003

Hm, Chris has $2000 to spend on a claimed Euro Ultimate 11.

Wouldn't that money be better spent on the Duo's legal defenses?

I know if I was in the shit they are in, I wouldn't be spending money on other things.

NeoTurfMasta · Feb 5, 2003

HAHAHHAHA, Ben is back! Sad sad shit. That fucker not only tried to scam me and sell stolen shit to GA, but he broke my STV board on top of that.

This guy totally scammed me on a trade. Claimed he didnt have the correct address on the package and that he shipped it multiple times. One excuse after another, until I called the local cops on him.

Thanks to search working again:

You have to consider the source claiming to have met up with Chris. He is a scam artist so his story should not be believed until proven otherwise really.

Thanks for the heads up on that Bear. Probably should have thought about that aspect.

rugal2000:
"dinner with chris Ray"..........that sounds digusting

Was wondering if anyone knew if this guy was gay? Before I made my deal w/Johnathan, I e-mailed him trying to get a nice deal on some NGHs. He e-mailed me back & said he could help. So, I sent him my phone # & he called me the following day. It just really bothered me the way he sounded on the phone. He had a very low voice almost like a whisper. Also, I don't think he was pleased when I told him I didn't want ANY freaked items. Suppose he didn't like that part as I never heard from him again. Neither e-mal or phone call. You can tell alot form talking to a person on the phone. And this guy is just as sneaky & underhanded as they come.

BTW, anyone in need of his cell phone #?? It's still on my caller ID.

-SG......& his 2 cents

Hey Brian look whos back!!! Yes the Wart on the Ass of the Gaming community, Ben Yetter!!!

You think this piece of shit would have figured it out by now but it looks like he is still up to it and I know he lurks these boards.

Ben you looking to scam some of my buddies again? Remember last time? Do you want to shake like a dog shitting peach stones again? Remember the last phone call I gave you?

Maybe I will call your police department tomorrow and let them know you are up to your old tricks

On a side note SaturnGamer is this the guy you are talking about in your post?

Neo Fan · Feb 5, 2003

HOLY CRAP!!

Ben Yetter target #2 here. Let me tell you this guy is a number one A-hole who tried to scam me out of some Dragons Lair 2 parts. I was totally powerless untill G.A. stepped in and helped me out. Ben was crapping his pants after that and sent me the goods PLUS Paypal'd me a refund check in case the goods didn't arrive (they did and he cancelled the check).

Anyway, if anyone needs it, here is the link to the police dept. in Ben's home town:

Thanks G.A. - tops in my book!

Nick Goracke · Feb 5, 2003

He told me the same thing via email about Ultimate 11 - that he sold it to Chris Ray. Not bloody likely.

He seemed pretty upset that certaing members were hacking on his auction, too. Can't say I feel too bad for him...

If it matters, he's using the name Mike Williams on his eBay account.

Michael Yagami · Feb 5, 2003

We really need to clean the filter in the gene pool. We've got BIG TYMERS popping up everywhere!!

Marco's Arms Dealer · Feb 8, 2003

ya notice that GA is like building cases against every scammer in the world..lol, no wonder he is leaving, probably has court dates up the ass. buttrock

bmoc · Feb 9, 2003

Thanks for the advice....will be on the lookout.

daybona · Feb 12, 2003

A euro version of an already very rare game with no picture...how can I lose?!?!?!? (Actually, all hilarity aside, it is kind of sad and scary that people actually bid on this stuff...)

insaneben · Feb 12, 2003

HA! HA! Look who got unregistered! Guess the "shame of Bens nationwide" (other than the Dell dude) finally got what he had coming.

Moob Butter · Feb 12, 2003

Yo Marco's Arms Dealer like my new sig?

Herzog Drei · Feb 12, 2003

I don't know what is more nuts-
the auction with a 0-feedback /unregistered seller getting a $2500-bid by a 0-feedback/unregistered buyer.... eek_2

...or that sick sig!!

Haven't seen stuff like that since the days of DIY.... smirk

I see the mods didn't find it funny, they removed it and locked my profile and haven't given my access to it back yet help
