Bad How I got $700 stolen from me (CaptainFuzzy / TacticalEdge8541)

I’m in the boat with everyone else in the thread. Paid 1/2 up front for a Medford after a long conversation on Saturday. Agreed on the other 1/2 upon receipt. Thought it was a pretty safe deal with feedback, but obviously something is not right at all.
 
Make that 7, possibly 8 by my count.

@CaptainFuzzy is going overboard.. they apparently have no intention of honoring their deal considering how many people are coming out of the woodwork in such a short period of time.
 
I really hate to see this and hope everyone get a knife or their knives back. That being said I keep hearing thought I was safe seller had good trader rating. Yep she had good trader rating but there are other things to look for like she's only been a member here since 7/29/17 really new member. By that I mean 3 months new and 11 good reviews doesn't really speak for the person. You need to look into post areas, posts, etc etc. when you are trading you have to really protect yourself if a person dosent contribute here other then sales and wants or demands a lot and you to send first big red flag. 3 months minimum contribution other then sales big red flag. Just my 2 cents and agian I hope everyone is made right.

Sadly, it's pretty easy to build up a decent sized amount of feedback on low-priced knives to set up a bigger scam. Seems that's what happened here. :(

Agree Lone_wolfe its super easy here. That's why when dealing with someone that's so new with a larger then normal feedback 3 months in I check other things. Like I said above if all they do in 3 months is sell they aren't here to Benifit the community in my eyes so for me it's a pass. If you looked at her profile before the ban 98% of her post are in the forsale section and not just one in particular but all of them big red flag to me.
 
Whelp this is a huge shat storm.

To the person that gets captainfuzzy to return everyone’s items they can have my combat troodon as long as I get back my bravo 1

Just a observation to note it looks like all the positive feedback on this user is for sales or purchases where if she paid she wants what she paid for and if she sold the buyer if smart used G&S which would protect the buyer from getting scammed. It looks like everyone potentially scammed are all making trades where goods are sent and received.

I went back and looked through my conversation history, unfortunately, I had already deleted everything between CaptainFuzzy and myself.

Having given this a lot of thought, I now recall this: CaptainFuzzy, sent me a PM not long after I sent my payment via PP Goods, for their Protech Godson. It turns out according to her, that PP placed a hold on their money for either 10 or 14 days. She asked me, if I'd be willing to let them refund the payment I sent, and then once I received the knife, I could send the money back (I believe via the Gift option?). She stated that she needed the money, so that she could buy a titanium hardware package for her Hinderer. I never heard back from her after that, other than to acknowledge me following up letting her know that I received the knife, & we were good to go. We also left positive feedback for the other.:(

I just checked my PayPal history. This has probably already been posted, but here's their PP information anyway:
Sent to
Theresa Falldorf

Reading this thread, makes me feel sick to my stomach...like I was an accomplice to their deceitful scam...& not just once, but with BOTH of them! :mad::mad:

I really hope, that just like in the case of Steve Ketchen, that LE will get involved, and persuade these 2 to begin damage control asap, or face serious consequences.

^ Every person should be calling. Yeah, an agency might not care about one false transaction but if they get a call from 7-8 different people from all over the US explaining the same scenario, it might give them the big red flag needed to look into them.
 
yep coordinate between y'all and call sheriff office individually and postal inspectors. bring the hammer down on her/him/them...etc. whoever is involves in the scam.

in a small town or county like this i expect the sherriff or police chief will care with 8 scams or so going on. then again if scammers are related to police wont go far. thats where the postal inspector comes into play. they cant be related to them or odds are very low.

good luck y'all. hope ya get your stuff back or made whole.

Is she in ND or AK? Were all of the knives shipped to the same address? Assuming the answer is "yes," I recommend calling LE in that jurisdiction. If y'all want the effort to be effective, I suggest getting in touch with each other, compiling the individual circumstances into a single document that identifies each victim, their contact info, exactly what they've lost, some reasonable demonstration of the how the values were established (not everyone, including LE, understands how expensive some knives can be), and send one document to the Sheriff's office (after a preceding phone call). You need to make their job as easy as possible.
 
Very sorry to hear this, not only for those that have lost directly, but the harm it does to the BF community as a whole. I hope those with direct losses will pursue this through every avenue possible. I am sure the scumbags are hoping you will just think it too much work and drop it.
This looks like a fully planned robbery

I will definitely be contacting their local pd with all the information. It doesnt take much to find out info on the internet these days. Also with how this was done im sure they have a third account here and are just watching this all unfold.

It's very odd that we have such a colossal blowup with a member who apparently has lots of perfectly fine transactions as well.

Falldorf has been in various Facebook groups also running this scam. I don't buy that the newest one is Theresa, Doug just made up the name or used his wife's name so the knives would make it in the mail. If it is his wife then she might have no clue what he's really doing.

But I agree call the sheriff and list values. Keep at it don't let him get away with it!

This sounds good. We should all get together to get all our info to eachother and have a file made for the pd.
 
If someone is willing to put the packet together, and compile everything to present to an investigator up there, I’d be happy to send what I have and all correspondence from him/her. Just PM me with a good contact to send everything to. I tend to agree, I highly doubt it was Theresa we were all dealing with.

Funny thing, a while back, I found some emails where I was talking to Cappy Fuzzworth over email about another potential trade. The email address came back to a Brian Falldorf. This last time speaking with the same email address, that name had been changed to Cappy Fuzzworth.
 
Bryan falldorf is her husband who was recon0317. His email was bdfalldorf. Im sure it was bryan who was behind this. He has a law record from alaska.
