Scammed by a TWV, no-show real life meetup - MD: Discipline, AIM: Holistier

[marc1423]

I have been in talks with him for a month about selling my account. He only lived a state away from me, so we arranged a real life meeting that was an hour away from both of our houses. The meeting was for 2:00pm in a public location, and I sent a text message at 1:00 saying I was leaving now. I arrived promptly at 2:00 at the meet location. At about 2:20, after trying to text and call him (straight to voicemail), he finally sent me a text message saying he was running late and would be there in about 10 minutes. A half hour passed, and nothing. I tried to call (would either ring twice and go to voice mail or straight to voicemail) and also sent multiple text messages asking where he was. Finally at 3:30, I found a wireless hotspot on my laptop, logged on AIM and saw that he had been online for an hour, and idle for 15 minutes. I tried contacting him via AIM, and there was no response. Grudgingly, I left for home, and instead of a $900 payday, I ended up with a nice $30 gas bill and 4 hours of my day off spent wasted.

This kid (I say kid with the knowledge that he is a Junior in high school) is Trust Who verified and paypal verified I believe. Is there any way to revoke his TWV? If not, then I believe this post will serve its justice for any other sellers out there.

He made a post on 6/1/08 saying he was interested in a shaman, and I have emailed that seller informing him of the situation.

Technically he didn't scam you, but this isn't the behavior we would expect from a TrustWho verified member.

Thats just unacceptable I think something more should be done. -_-

Meh, I consider that a scam...the guy stole his time and money. Especially since he kept telling him that he would be coming and never showed, that's messed up imo.

Good idea, providing you want to be arrested.

Thats [censored] up. IMO he did scam you. He took time outta your day, and wasted your money by making you meet up 2 hours away (drive there and back ). I think he should get suspended.

You all need to quit cussing.

Re: Scammed by a TWV, no-show real life meetup - MD: Discipline, AIM: Holis

I agree that is not the behavior a TWV representative should have. I don't think the mods would see this as a reason to ban the user, but maybe have a chat? Temp - Ban? TWV removed?

He hasn't posted here at all. Would like to see what Holistier has to say about his actions, unless he is just hiding out and trying to ignore the situation.

I'm not the first person he has done this to. Check out this post about him wasting this seller's time:

Also, not sure if was the actual purchaser of this account, but the post after his the seller replied with 'sold'.

http://www.markeedragon.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/1453344/#Post1453344

One of his posts, a few days before my records (I had to reformat so I lost all conversations) he mentioned that "everything i've tried had fallen through" and he "would meet up in person" if they lived near MA. Yeah, right.

Someone please do something about this kid. He shouldn't be on these mature, respectable forums.

Maybe he doesn't have a car? Maybe he couldn't get a ride?
Maybe just maybe he didn't get permission to go from his parents? Maybe hes too ashmed to say so?

No scam happend here .

Locked.
