Bad *Warning!* ssmith571 is a fraud

Makes one glad to be a buyer and not a seller, seems like everyday there is a new scam artist scumbag popping up here. I realize it is probably a tiny fraction of the deals that are made, but it is still seems like a crapshoot sometimes with all the horror stories. Seems also to be limited to higher dollar knives, of which I don't really partake. Trades seems particularly risky.

I’ve only ever met decent people on this site and never had any issue. Before today, that is.
 
Bummer, if this person doesn't respond to this thread soon I would contact the postal inspectors and pursue a theft by mail case.
 
@ssmith571 has received and read the message I sent, despite his silence he is aware of this thread.

Was there tracking and or shipping weight for the box you received, also was the box intact or have the appearance of being tampered with in anyway ?

There was tracking and the package had not been tampered with at all. It seems like dude needed a couple knives bad enough to steal
 
Can you post this guys name please so we are aware of it?

You google him and see if he pops up for arrests or other hijinks?
 
He said his name was Steven Smith from Omaha Nebraska. By the way, the knives he got from me were a ZT 0095bw and a Kershaw Blur. Just in case they pop up on the for sale forums, though I doubt they will.

Kinda sounds like a BS name. You should reverse lookup his cell phone number. Google it and see if its tied to any social media accounts.

Hello, I’m that fourth victim. I shipped my ZT 0450 off to him on the 30th of December and just got an envelope from him with some random papers in it. He is silent with me as well.

Really sorry to hear that. Chances are, none of us will see our knives back. Lesson learned, I suppose.
 
Please report this guy to postal inspectors fraud division. Copy and paste this thread for them and the other thread. You have his home address from your shipping label.
 
Ya lesson learned. I’m just sorry that he fooled so many of us.

Roach, I sent mine via ups, would I still be able to report it?
