Bad THE BAD Will Moon

My guess is that his father wrote his son's apology. Just a guess, based on my knowledge of narcissists, who manipulate people as a way of life.

PS: The people who ardently defend the perpetrator generally are new to BF and only have a couple of posts as a history. Hmmm.
 
I promise I'm not Will :) I use the forum to learn as a spectator I guess. I have my own IG account. http://instagram.com/jimmyhendrix87

I'm just relaying my own experiences. In terms of his post, Will happens to be articulate......I'm sure it's genuine.

Forums can be pretty intense. I think his apology speaks for itself, and comes from a sincere place. I'm sure he's open to reconcile if people give him a chance.
 
3 post and supporting Will moon, hmmm. Your writing style also mimics his in your wording. Cans someone check the IP.
I've read 3yrs worth of Will Moon saga from links sent to me, none of it good. The dude wrecked his own rep. Apologizing now is a little too late as there is no credibility. Didn't will just threaten an unhappy customer with legal action weeks ago? Fake apology is like fake account.

From Will's instagrm account on 4/28/2014



I included his whole post, but I think that the second paragraph is more in context with the issue at hand.

athers. To that

I respect this forum, as I have found it a great portal of information that has helped me greatly in my collecting pursuits. I cannot validate or deny anyone's experiences with Will Moon. All I can say is that I have had a genuinely positive experience dealing with Will, and if their are any issues people have with his work he seems to be making an effort to make it right.

I don't pretend to know the motivation behind his apology. The test will be if his behavior changes and how long the change lasts.

I was thinking the same thing, until I saw his join date!! Maybe Will saw this coming and made up a bunch of accounts??

One of those defenders has been a member for 4 months longer than you despite only having 4 posts. I doubt Mr. Moon was planning to be...a man of questionable repute...for THAT long.

Long history of schill accounts well after having been banned as FriskyDingo:

Will Moon's apology is worth NOTHING (beyond damage control) and it is a FACT that he has been a man of questionable repute for a LONG TIME. (I also suspect nothing much will change moving forward)

Why would anyone want to do that? :confused:

He needs to earn that chance. If he can go for an extended period of time selling, delivering, and communicating properly with his customers then he will have earned a chance. But for now - it is just words on the 'net and there isn't anything around more worthless than that.

Will Moon is not a bad businessman, he is a scammer. No one who reads about him here should ever deal with him, under any circumstances.

You guys have to look up the original post of his on the red forum that is about him going to the lair of some super villain who had a gun pointed at him, forcing him to buy a knife. It's funny, but it just shows how deranged he is. He is a pathological liar and has given these apologies before. It's worthless....

Try doing some reading here and on the red forum (and several other places).

Will Moon aKa FriskyDingo etc...etc... has been given chance after chance after chance.....ad nauseum. He's apologized several times too......groveled in fact, promising change that never happens while he continues to take money only to provide shoddy product, poor customer service and every excuse under the sun. Just how many chances should a scam artist and thief get? Just how many apologies are acceptable before no one is willing to listen?
The sooner this well documented blight on the knife industry ceases to exist...the better. People would be smart to vote with their wallets.

I think now I'm pretty much done with Will Moon. For MODs to call him straight up a scam artist that is really deep .......
 
I read that post, that was weird at best, completely insane at worst. It sounded like a post from someone imitating Walter Mitty. Common sense why would someone go to a knife deal fearing so much for a knife that a p220 was needed.

Also I doubt anyone that publicly states their private business like dad having a stroke. Stuff happens but the last thing a sincere person would want is for his personal struggles to be public unless they want sympathy to to use it for gain, which is classic sociopath. Hate to sound harsh but it's sounds like just more excuses.

I also have an experience that I never publicly shared.
I purchased his purple Mk6 for $900 several months ago... this one

A similar shipping experience to the ones posted throughout this thread. I purchased the knife and made full payment because it was a completed knife, ready to ship. He's quick to email me for the money and quick to email me to tell me that he'll ship it out the very next day. That's where the emails stopped. It took nearly a week to get any sort of confirmation that the knife was indeed shipping, and it came from an automated USPS email, not even from Will. Like others, the tracking sat there for roughly 3 more days before it updated. During this entire wait, I had been emailing Will a few times to get updates, with no response. He finally sent an email saying the same story he's told all of you others, that there was a delay and that he intended to ship it sooner blah blah.
Anyway, the knife does finally arrive, the quality is BAD. Multiple issues with the fit and finish. When I brought those issues to his attention in an email (including pics of the problems), after several silent days, he responded by saying that I'm being too picky. He said it's a handmade knife so it will have issues...lol. I told him to refund me immediately and that this knife was headed back to him. I didn't get a reply for another day or so, surprise surprise, so I filed a PayPal complaint. Refund in my account within an hour :D haha
Immediately after the refund, I log in to instagram to just do other instagram stuff, and find that I've been banned from his IG page. Log in to facebook to find the same thing with his FB page. He silenced me before I could even call him out!
 
If his dad truly has serious health problems that's to bad, I wish him the best, if he's lying about this it's a new low. In the past when will has gotten behind on things health has come up as an excuse a few times so it's hard to tell.

My best guess is he's realizing the destruction of his business he thought was bulletproof and damage control is his only out, save folding up. The father running the machine shops make sense, in the videos he's posted that I have seen which are few, his machining lingo is not someone who's running cnc or cam machines all day.

If he is truly trying to change the OP needs to get a full refund for the knife he is not happy with, will said he's open to help customers. This would go a long way to show he is making an effort.
 
My head hurts, I just read a butt load of his posts and the boy has issues. Its really kind of sad. I can see why he has been banned so many times. I'm a 38 year old man and in my teens and early 20's I would never have spoken that way to members of this forum in that manner. Hell, I'd never dream of being rude to anyone like that now. Age is not an excuse for rude behavior. He is done in this industry, you'd have to be crazy to trust him with your money after reading all his posts. Word will continue to travel.

There are too many nice makers out there putting out better quality to be giving this arrogant youngster your money.

Yes, his actions demonstrate sociopathic behavior.
