scammed! by! s4cr! out of thousands of $$$!

[Youro-Luke]

not backing anyone but I have shipped wheels from eastern europe (hungary), albeit 8 years ago, and it did take a little over 4 months to arrive, unless you ship it expedited (air) which will run you 2x more then what the wheels are worth. Some stuff, like bday presents my dad sent me never even showed up. Germany or western europe is a whole nother story, when my aunt sends me parts from Germany, regular post, its here in less then 2 weeks. So the fact that they are indeed stuck in customs may be true, but him getting it out of customs, that bullshit.

I've sent numerous shipments over the past 2 years from Poland to the US and even Australia

to the US through normal post it takes 4-5 weeks, priortity or EMS around 10 days
to Australia it takes upto 3 months

If he were banned from a forum in Lithuania, than he will have what he deserves. I know a few of litauen guys, and those akt on principle matters, If he ever scam anyone of hes own, than he'll be hunt down and decorated with some fists or worse. Believe me, things like this dont go unpunished.
I will remember hes name, the country is small and I can ask here if anyone know hem.

15k in eastern europe is an average joe's pay check for about 16 months, so pretty much worth it, if u can pull it off, and obviously he can... i'm not saying it's right, but a nice way to get some easy cash from u wasteful americans.

that kind of thinking is poisonous

BUMP!

These days obviously people want money more than ever but scamming people out of buying/purchasing items is NOT OK! As the admins said, ONLY buy from authorized vendors unless you can actually see the item in person.

I would love to hear of any updates to this thread too, in case I have a chance of getting my $ back!

[FABEL]

just feel the need to bump this as I feel the awareness in this thread is extremely important to our community.

I hope this can be easily understood & I will update the thread as things develop further. trust me, it's been more than a headache that just seems to linger on for me.

I do appreciate all of your replies, PM's, & interest in this situation though SW. thank you; truly!

if you STRESS heavily on members purchasing from authorized vendors, then why have a Classifieds section at all?

I know that coughing up $500 every 3 months would deter most scammers though

but thanks for locking my threads, forcing me to become a vendor/sponsor, and leaving this scammer's threads open!

or was he a forum sponsor? in which case this is even more f-ed up!

anyway, good to see where your priorities are

Luke, i haven't seen any of your threads locked, but i may have missed that. I know from a few other forums, I wouldnt hesitate to buy from you. However, Stanceworks has to be careful ( like on many other forums) not to step on the toes of paying sponsors by allowing users to post classifieds endlessely. Whether you fit that description is a different matter. If you like, We can discuss via PM, or you could talk to ben or mike if you haven't already.


s4cr wasn't a sponsor, and i think the point was not to shove out the little man, but offer our condolences to those who may have gotten screwed over. In addition to remind people Stanceworks is not responsible, and cannot control the quality of stuff sold through these classifieds.

[Youro-Luke]

Member s4cr has been permanently banned. It was our hope that he would come in and resolve the issue, but after trying to contact him via PM on several occasions, we are left with no other option then to permanently ban him.


With that said, we STRESS heavily that you only purchase products from authorized vendors here on StanceWorks. We do not care what kind of reputation someone has, if they aren't a authorized vendor, then we do not support, nor take responsibility for any transactions that happen on StanceWorks. There is nothing worse then seeing the fine members of our lil community get stiffed, and we ask everyone take heed to this as an example of why it is important to support legitimate / authorized businesses.
