This guy is named Greg. His business logo is WORLD TRUST TRADERS phone #360-496-3399. He is registered with GB but I don't know his user name, I'm working on that one.

He contacted me about two revolvers I had on auction and asked if I would take an offer for both. He made a fair offer for them and there were no buyers after the auctions closed so I accepted his offer. Here is his first response on 5/24/01.


OK.
PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS, AND I WILL SEND $620. I WILL
HAVE MY LOCAL GUN SHOP "CHEAP SHOT GUN SHOP" IN TACOMA, WA. SEND HIS FFL.
THANK YOU, GREG.
TEL: 360-496-3399
WORLD TRUST TRADERS

I sent him this on 6/01/01.

Greg,
I have not received payment or FFL as of yet, is there a problem.Thanks

His response on the same day was this.


NO PROBLEM. I JUST GOT BACK FROM A TRIP. I WILL BE SENDING MONEY OUT ON
MONDAY. I HAVE OVER 50 AUCTIONS THAT I AM PAYING ON MONDAY.
SORRY FOR DELAY, GREG.
TEL:360-496-3399
WORLD TRUST TRADERS


I have not heard from him since then, today is 06/12/01.
This was a side deal so I can't do anything but repost. I have even called him twice and left messages both times, no response. Why do people go out of their way to make an offer on something and then ignore you and lie to you after you accept their offer ??? If He changed his mind fine. But at least be man enough to email me and let me know. I need to find out what his user name is. But for the time being if you get any emails from this guy, ignore them...Later


Found him, user name wtt@myhome.net He has 11 feedbacks all A+ go figure. Guess you can't always tell from the feedback.....

50 auctions to pay for... Hmmmmm... sounds like a potential target for an investigation. Keep us informed Bondai.

Thanks,

I have one that went off on 06/04 and the guy
claimed he was sending payment out promptly,
no payment has arrived yet and so far he hasn't
answered my email.

For those of you who haven't been burned on
a auction site YET, let me tell you that it is
only a matter of time before you get stiffed!

It took 8-months before I came upon my first
DEADBEAT!

bondai he fixed the e-mail address so that it is live - which means someone can click on it and not have to cut and paste to get a hold of the person.
