Watch out for this guy. I'm currently selling off my MVS collection. I asked for a trade for Samurai Shodown 5 Special, and BennyRichards said he had a copy to trade me. I asked him for any ebay reference he might have, and he sent me this:

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=theaterboy&iid=5763145742&frm=284

This ebay user has a positive feeback rating of 530. So I emailed this user, asking if he was BennyRichards.
It turns out that he is not, and that BennyRichards is a pathetic scamartist.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH BENNY RICHARDS
Thanks,
Travis Ingram

He PM'ed me in regards to a trade but I had no worries because I would have most definitely required that he send 1st given he had no lengthy history here and a zero trader feedback rating.

Holy crap,

I almost bought a US Neo Geo Cart system from him for $275.00. Seems like a nice guy from the PM's.

What's the true story?

he sent me a pm today asking if i wanted to trade my metal slug 3 for whatever he could offer. sounds like he was trying to pull a fast one and get out quick before anyone knew what was happening. :shame:

Could be another Aaron Lewis / Will Henley account - post history has all the same writing style, same grammatical mistakes, same breathtaking level of stupidity. Or it could just be a new dunce. Either way, ban plz.

Ah well. toodoloo, bitch. :tickled: he was weird anyway

He was Will Henley. I'm too lazy to find the thread right now, but he PM'ed qube and made it completely obvious.

Good riddance.

Damn, I actually sent him payment of 200 bucks.
Never response afterward.
I just called my bank and stoped the payment. I hope it works.

As if it wasn't hard enough for Newbies to start gaining trust/confidance as it is, then Dicks like this come along and throw people off altogether. Im wanting to buy/trade some items real soon but i have 100% on Ebay, and also lots of trade history on other Non Neo related forums. Hope this can provide a level of trust and get me on the ladder to gaining some trade points.

Scammers are definitely hurting newbies. I don't buy or sell things often online, but when I do, I've gotten nothing but good feedback. That said, the feedback is not that much, even if it is positive. It really sucks that scammers like this are ruining it for honest people like myself that might not necessarily have established credit.

When is this site going to crack down and just ban all these idiots? These people won't magically change and make these situations right.

Ban them all and make a community black book.
It may be weird at first, but I think giving it a try would make security a tad tighter.

The scams are going crazy. Doing a search on MVS on the bay a while back was a joke. All these weird MVS carts and labels. I miss when you could just buy some beat up ass cart. Least you had a better chance of not being booted.

That's why I always get their address to their home before I do a deal with them. There's nothing like going to their house, posing as a delivery man and breaking their fucking face in with a pair of brass knuckles, then stripping them butt naked and shoving the fake parsel deep into their rectum.
