I alluded to this in another thread but this ass master cost me $150 (yes I was one who got ripped off). To make matters worse, I sent it as a paypal gift - partly because I already had the funds in my account and partly because I'm an overly trusting moron. So yeah, lesson learned on my part there. Everyone else I've traded with on the UG has been honest so I just got too trusting. I was "sold" a chrome gold 8b - he did email photos and seemed legit. After it didn't arrive days after it should have, I contacted him and was fed some BS about how he had no tracking (which he never provided to me up-front anyway) because his "baby mama" has washed his pants that had the receipt and tracking info. Promised that if it never showed he was going to "make it right" and refund the money, etc. As you can guess, never happened. I came on here yesterday after he stopped communicating with me (this drama has been going on close to a month) to post negative feedback on this very thread when I noticed his "twin" account. Contacted Cory about it right away to see what he could do about it, but I see that several others caught on as well. So remember, unless you know someone well enough, never send paypal as a gift! Stay in school kids. I'm sorry that you were a victim of this guy, I know it sucks getting taken. Unfortunately there are people like this in the world who prey on the trust of good people. A suggestion I have when dealing with someone for the first time would be to have the person take a photo of what they are selling with the current date written on a piece of paper to prove it's not something they just got off the Internet. It's not a full proof security method but at least it can give you a little more confidence that they are really selling something. Good luck with future trades.

I did have a good transaction with him and received a couple of PMs about it from others. I said mine was fine but I would not do a deal over $100 because something did not seem quiet right with him...sorry for anyone who got ripped off.

I know this is late but seeing what I'm seeing now Ill just say. I had bought a 3-D set from Mike maybe a month ago (see above post date: a week before). I wrote that comment while offshore. Mike had asked me to write him a feedback thread. Informed him I was still offshore but I'll call home and see if a package arrived. My wife had told me yes so I figured that was it. Well I got home last Monday and gathered up everything that had come in. I still can't find that 3D set. I wasn't sure if it had been misplaced or if it just didn't come in. I was giving the benefit of doubt. I was excepting 7 things. I got all 6 but still can't find the 3D set. I will have to contact him for tracking number.

Although between you and me, i think his best sales were with prudential, those were some HOF stats.

His rookie card is hard to come by and very desirable by collectors....it's right up there with the Honus Wagner tobacco card.

The more I'm finding out about this guy and all the others he was screwing over just has me pissed at this point. I tried to play it cool and be patient with him because I knew I was basically at his mercy and I wanted what I purchased so I didn't want to shoot myself in the foot. But now knowing I was wasting my time and being played (along with others) has me very bitter. I'm really glad he's been booted from here, AND from the marketplace on FB because he was pulling the same crap there apparently. I feel bad for everyone else who got jacked around by this douchebag.

These scumbags make me sick. What is the worst about it is that it makes it so that you can't even trust people you know you can trust. Over $20-100 or less sometimes....Really....People are that big of dirt bags that they scam who knows how many people for a little here or a little there and for what? Smokes, beer, new phone, etc.
Just makes me fuggin sick. Sorry to all those who got screwed and continue to get screwed. Really ruins the hobby for people, but more importantly it reduces our faith in the good of everyday people.
A decade ago I didn't keep my door locked. This weekend I go to buy an assault shotgun and assault rifles for my home. I hate that it has come to that. If anyone can get me a good deal on an AK or AR 15 let me know;)

Whatever hobby anyone engages in there's always going to be someone looking to scam/profiteer from and ours is clearly no different. At the end of the day, however, The UG has proven time and time again that it is full of thousands of honest members you can trade with and depend on. Let this be a friendly reminder to always exercise caution and above all common sense when dealing with new members or "fishy" trades. Also, feel free to send any questions or concerns you may have BEFORE you trade to any moderator at any time as we are here to provide the best experience possible to all of our members and will go above and beyond to do so. That being said, I'm personally looking for an AA-12 or two if anyone has any good leads

Add me to the list...He got a box of Chrome from me. Glad I only paid $36 for it So, I contacted mike, since I had his cell number from the transaction, and we are all square. He paid immediately and bought an extra box of Chrome. I think from my transaction that he is a stand up guy and those who might have a trade opportunity with him will have to clearly define how the trade is going to go down.

Assault rifles are nice but if you want a decent home defense weapon go with a 12 gauge Winchester Defender. Reasonably priced and a high quality, USA made weapon. Load it with 00 Buck Shot and you can basically disassemble someone in 3 shots...just sayin I agree. 12g is the way to go...

I was thinking about getting a pistol grip on mine but I shot my buddies 12ga with a pistol grip and it just seemed awkward with the recoil. Gotta love the 7 and 1 in convenience of the defender, no need for saddle bags.
