Bad RONINUSMC stole my money. Beware!

[Turbo4x4]

One month ago I bought the folder Emerson KACK from this thread-
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/emerson-kack-54-for-trade.1674313/
From RONINUSMC- https://www.bladeforums.com/members/roninusmc.374082/
Money ($600) sent via PayPal, the address in the ConUS- New Hampshire.
And the conversation is over. They didn’t send me the track number, they didn’t answer a few emails.
I think, I can nothing, but I need to warn of theft...
Wery bad situation.

Did you pay by goods and services?

 

[Turbo4x4]

Did you pay by goods and services?

No, unfortunately. As to f&f...

 

[sickpuppy1]

God, and how many threads are there around here about NOT paying friends and family......
Sorry to hear you got ripped off, and thanks for the warning.

 

[LEGION 12]

Don't ever pay via F & F ever .

 

[BladeScout]

No, unfortunately. As to f&f...

Never pay FF. Hope you get your knife or the money back.

 

[WValtakis]

No, unfortunately. As to f&f...

Why would you pay for goods using F&F?

 

[rothnroll]

Weird, the guy has successfully sold and bought knives here and has 500 posts.

 

[Peter Hartwig]

I feel bad for you but by using F&F you just gave him your money as a gift
You can still try a PP claim-occasionally they will consider it a mistake and let you slide, if you have a great record with them.
@RONINUSMC for your side

Yes, I thought the same...

Why would you pay for goods using F&F?

I did not know the size of the fees, and I too believed the seller ...

Immediately after the transfer of money, he stopped responding to letters - probably, the temptation was too great.

• I try and avoid sellers who are here just to trade. Almost all RONINUSMC's posts are in sales forums.
  
  I am sorry to hear that you got scammed but once again its a warning to all about Paypal F&F.

Weird, he came and checked out this thread, checked out the sales thread, then moved on to the Emerson forum section (saw him looking at the thread about Emerson coffee). Seems like he might just plan to ignore the whole thing and keep going on with business(?)

I sent him a link to this thread - it proves that he reads letters ...

You didn't buy anything. You gave him your money as a gift. Sorry, but don't do that.

Did he ask you to pay f&f?

If he chooses to ignore, he won't be here long.

His last post was July 27th, stating the KACK had sold... conveniently the same day his Gold membership expired.

 

[BladeScout]

The long con?

 

[Foghorn Leghorn Fan]

I'm pretty sure he has been here:

No integrity and a coward?

File a Claim with PayPal. Include all the information you have.

Just Do It! PayPal has refunded payments made via F+F.

Good Luck Mitch

Our colleague Turbo4x4 is in Russia. It's possible that this will work out okay in the end, but it would be nice to hear from the seller.

Oh, and don't use Friends and Family.
