I recently encountered a trader who defrauded me of $680. He agreed to do a cross-trade and said he would send the payment on the same day I ship the item. I mailed him the merchandise and was waiting for his payment that arrived three days late. He sent me a personal check (instead of a money order) without his signature. I contacted him and he apologized for the check and said he sent his wife to the postoffice to mail my payment.
He sent me a check (it took more than a week this time) again. I deposited the check into my bank account immediately and got kinda busy with school and stuff. One fine day, my bank called me and told me that the check got rejected by his bank. I tried to contact him but was not able to get him to respond to my phone calls/emails.
I contacted blade @ trollhunters & he got hold of this guy. Blade told me that this troll has defrauded several people in the same week.
Blade made the troll pay me every penny he owes me. I think the troll has repaid/returned most(all?) of the items to everyone he owes by now.
I have been following the troll threads in FS/T forum and really appreciate the work Blade & Co. do.
