Jeremy Swisher is a no good scum of the earth THIEF

Pretty sure he means feedback score, not being scammed.

But I think feedback score does matter to more people than not, at least to some degree.



I don't think this clown created other accounts but if he did, it was likely just a few with mostly real transactions to buff up his score.
That play is still doable, but not exactly feasible to make it look organic, especially since the feedback score only goes up the on first feedback each individual person gives you.

Could be, and feedback score is definitely something that I look at along with general forum activity...only having activity in the Exchange is another red flag.

Jeremy Swisher is an organized and persistent scammer on his 3rd banned account in a year...making a few more is hardly inconceivable even if it was a "very very time-consuming process". He's ripped off Bladeforums members for hundreds of dollars, that certainly matters to me🤷‍♂️

Is that a strawman argument? I’m not saying “scamming doesn’t matter”. What are you even arguing, actually? That all his ratings are fraudulent or the strawman that you somehow think I’m okay with ripping off BladeForums members? In any case, I have purchased a knife from the scammer and emerged unscathed, luckily… so his feedback rating isn’t 100% fraudulent.

I also purchased a knife successfully from Jeremy Swisher under his JamesJones username and received the knife as described, obviously in an attempt to bolster feedback on the account from established members.

Thankfully, I recognized the name on the return address from a previous GB&U thread and alerted the mods that a banned user was doing business again here. I believe that username was ghosted before doing any damage but apparently he had another on standby already or whipped it up shortly thereafter. Obviously creating multiple accounts is far easier than you made it out to seem...a VPN and a new email is all it would take I'd think.

33. That’s his positive feedback score. You think he created 33 emails and did 33 fake exchanges here? Okay, I disagree, and still think it’s a stretch. You’ve made it known you don’t think it’s “a stretch”. Agree to disagree.

Those asking for F&F don't want notes that show they are actually selling items, and should be using G&S. Since they are F&F transfers they do not have any protection from PP.

It bears mentioning that you don't have any "protection" if you use virtually all other forms of online payment such as Venmo/CashApp/etc. either. Some sellers here want money orders or checks. Same thing.

With the new upcoming countrywide Federal regulations regarding payments, many people are moving to those other services (and yes, using F&F) because they don't want a tax bill for what's supposed to be a hobby. Full disclosure? I'm one of them. I'm not keeping spreadsheets of profits/losses so I can pay a portion of whatever I made to the Government just for selling a few knives, especially after they already taxed my paycheck, and then the initial sale of that knife. Sorry, not sorry, and frankly, I've had no issue selling knives. Feel free to look up my name in this section, no scamming or mistreatment of customers from me!

For this reason I plan to sell the majority of my GEC collection at the GEC Rendezvous next year. Cash and carry. No unhappy customers, no undelivered packages, no tax bill at the end of the year.

Can't say I blame you. I just wanted to give a different perspective because a bunch of folks vilify using PPFF around here*, but I honestly think that's all going to change in 9 days when starting next year, these services like PPG&S are forced to declare every penny they make over $600 to the FedGov, and those folks get a 1099 and suddenly owe more money, or receive less of a tax return for 2022. So, get ready to see a lot more non PPG&S going on in the Exchange.

I mean, six hundred bucks? I made more than that last month selling two knives. Some folks are comfortable playing accountant and keeping super detailed records, others won't be. May the odds be ever in your favor!


* Full disclosure, I used to be one of them.

Yeah the $600 threshold is BS. Probably no "good" number, but something like $5k would be much more reasonable.

I have been using USPS money orders for the past 2-3 years , because of a computer conflict with PP. Those I buy from got their money. Those I sold to their knives, and I give the same sort of guaranty PP would, though that is based on my word and reputation alone. I have found it considerably harder to make the sales, either due to trust or time and hassle of getting money orders.The vast majority here are honest, unfortunately there are a few that are not. Luckily I have not been unfortunate to deal with them. I likely could resolve my computer conflict(due to some recent changes), but I also am not anxious to get into this accounting headache. I think the taxing may very well shake things up this year, or the following if members are caught unaware. Too bad since the PP G&S worked pretty well for these type transactions.

Yikes, guess I'm not the only one. I bought a Bugout Titanium from him last week and have heard nothing since. Provided me with a USPS tracking that goes no where (package was never received by USPS). Out $170. Definitely only going to do G&S from now on...

Wow, that is awful. I can't stand liars and thieves. I hope you are able to recoup your money, or find a way to press charges.
 
It's not hard to do. Here's how. There is a reason we're suggesting it. That way anyone else who has the "pleasure" of getting involved in comms with this guy will hopefully have a fighting chance to know not to, even if he comes back with another account name, or they run across him on some other platform.
