I got the FSH Variant from the eBay Auction in record time it is an amazing blade I am truly impressed. Armouralleather is making the sheath and so far I have had multiple communications with Stacy.

The knife is stunning. Mr Dang is an amazing auctioneer everything was done absolutely perfect. And the folks at Armourallleather have been extremely helpful and patient. I have never been excited about a sheath before and I am not an artsy guy I prefer to break things but they have been VERY helpful I truly recommend them. What a great group of folks I have found via this auction involving the knife, the sheath and here on the forum. Well worth the price all the way around!

Thanks everyone both here on the forum and with the knife for being so great. Once I get the sheath and everything all squared away I'll hopefully get some picts up.

Awesome to hear and I have yet to hear anything bad about Dwyane (sp?). Congrats on a sweet knife and that's awesome that you are able to help out the families of those who benefit from that auction :cool:
 
I was going to wait until the entire project was completed since there are some shots already of just the knife. I gotta say Stacy (Dwayne's wife) has been very kind and Dwayne is said to be excited about this project. They seem like super nice folks I hope some day to meet them.

Email sent to you regarding a suspicious "second chance" email I got regarding this blade.

All that bidded on the H.I FSH variants,,,beware of these commies and be sure not to send any money to them or anyone else pertending to represent the E-bay H.I FSH variant,,IT'S DEFENITLY A SCAM :grumpy:
 
Dang! Two different emails and addresses? Be sure to forward them to catchingdirtbags who actually won the knife.
 
These are likely Nigerians or Romanians since that is where the bulk of these scams come from. Glad you all caught on but it amazing how many people fall for these. I run the criminal investigations for eBay and PayPal and I have seen people send 30K to Italy for second chance offers on Winnebagoes!! Who has two Winnebago campers for sale in Italy? Amazes me the things people fall for.

Anyhow I'll create a case on this and put one of my folks on it, but be warned we have worked cases with Romanians and Nigerians that have taken years to finish. Neeledss to say law enforcement there is not very cooperative but we have managed to successfully prosecute between the 2 countries a little over 150 people in the last 1.5 yrs.

I would do both but i dont want to get S#!T on any of my blades,,those guys are defenitly full of it :cool:

I just hope nobody actually fell for it and sent them any $$

hoply 'Catchingdirtbags will be able to "flush the turds" before they are able to claim a victim (or another) :cool:
 
heck. I figure everyone here who sells on ebay should send Mr. Kothanek and his team presents for the holidays. Talk about a thankless job. When they do it right, no one knows. And when they miss the chance, everyone complains!

Generally speaking of course- I've heard no one complaining here.


But no INFI! I am learning, real hogs don't share!
 
You have no idea how right you are. I get beat up everyday here. We just recently started publicizing our successes we have put some really bad folks in jail globally. I don't know of any company that spends as much to protect our customers. Unfortunately it is a big world and with over 200 million people globally using our systems thngs go wrong but we do try.

Unreachable goal but I want the internet people promised us years ago. that wonderful tool where people can communicate globally, trade and do commerce globally and get great information all safely. So far it is not exactly that. Unfortunately Eastern European countries and western Africa as well as some areas of Asia all have large organized crime rings that love to victimize americans... Needless to say that pisses me off.

I do appreciate the thought and we will continue to try. I personally think I have the best job in the corporate world. I started with PayPal over 5yrs ago when it was a new company and I designed much of the anti fraud controls and internet crime investigation processes that now state federal and local law enforcement use. Its been a treat our country's law enforcement for the most part are the greatest.


thanks again
 
I have seen people send 30K to Italy for second chance offers on Winnebagoes!! Who has two Winnebago campers for sale in Italy?

John,

This was my laugh out loud for today.

As you know, I also got a solicitation for a 'second chance' purchase of your FSH.

I've got to say, anytime I've run across any suspicious auction activity on eBay, your crew has handled it in what I'd consider fair and proper fashion. Thanks for keeping an eye out for us.
 
Great job Catchindirtbags!!! :cool: Great catch on Progunner and Galaxytech's part as well :cool: . . . .

Of all the people for these idiots to prey on, I don't think they could have made a poorer choice!!! :eek: :eek:

Go get 'em!!!

Jerry

Hey John,

Ebay doesn't automatically generate 2nd chance offers does it? I noticed that option but of course did not click on it. The second chance option was available for all auction items I put up, not only the Busse variants. Never had any other comment on the other items.
