I owe you a BIG thanks Bastid! :thumbup:
You saved me from basically finalizing a pending deal that I had with this member.
I based it off the two feedbacks from his alias & his listed "friendship" with a frequent bf member.

Unfortunately, I guess it's time to tweak my requirements for trading partners again :thumbdn:

This is the e-mail capecobra10 was using to contact me.
"John Couture" <capecobra10@yahoo.com>
He signed his e-mails as"Josh".
When I asked him about this thread, he stopped replying to my e-mails.
Hope this helps.

More information
Josh White was another name he was using in emails.
The lies are stacking up. Anyone proceeding on deals with this guy need to have cash in hand or the trade item in hand before sending anything.

tatsu, that the same email i was getting from him! i was getting a little nervous when said he would send me pictures of his. but the pictures never showed. when we got close to making a deal, i had emailed him that he would have to mail his first with a tracking number. never heard from him again. 
yea, I caught jadabug2007 in some lies last night and reported him to the mods. They told me I was right to be suspicious. After further investigation I realized that I had almost finalized a deal with one of his alias's, capecobra10, just the other day. I am glad that I had my spydie senses on. Thanks mods for listening to me and helping ban jadabug2007. Isn't there a way to ban his IP address, so he can't just keep making up names?
heres a copy of the message that I sent to several mods, in an attempt to bring this con to light. I post this only to summarize my dealings with jadabug2007:
a member named jadabug2007 just tried to scam me out of a knife. I don't know if you care or can even do anything about it, but I just thought I would let you know. He just created his account yesterday, and was saying that he was a long time member that had lost his password and had to start a new account. He contacted me via email and was offering to trade me what I wanted (Bradley Mayhem) for a Microtech HALO III that I have listed. I asked him if he had pictures of it and he sent me pictures that he obviously stole from the internet, I searced google and found them quickly from other people's posts. He said he was a big timer on another forum and when I asked him to sign in on the other forum so that I would know that it was really him, he wrote, "Ya know what buddy, You're a little Paranoid. I was going to send you my knife first, but nevermind now" Anyways, I just thought that you should know so that he doesn't scam someone out of a valuable knife. Thanks for your time, Brad

Something is very fishy going on with this guy!!! He emailed me for a trade and sent me pictures of what he had. After a couple of days we finally came to an agreement on a trade. I sent hima message where to send his knife and he has never replied to any emails!!! What i do know is he is the owner or is working for PVKNIFE.COM. Look it up on internet. He goes by the name Josh. He likes to play games. Check his up to date inventory before you trade with him because he will tell you that he is out of stock on things when his site says they are not. I found out this was his site with a little investigation. I seems to me that he needs a good ass kickin!!! Do not do business with him!!! After i caught him in a lie about what he had in stock. He did not know i new he had a knife store on the net. He replied. "HOLY Crapazoli you know more than i do about what i have" Never heard back from him. Enough said!
