It is with extreme sadness that I write this post. Sadness for numerous reasons, not the least of which is that this person was a regular and a GOOD person (or so I thought) on this board. Now I doubt much of what he said, and don't know what to believe.
I'll put his name at the end, even though it is important to know. I want to tell what happened first, so you know I have TRIED to NOT write this. And that I still do so reluctantly.
I bought some coins from someone on this board. Paid him with two checks, and although it wasn't huge money I'm not talking about $5 or $8. I sent the money about November 1st. He got the money, said he was going to mail the coins, and I waited.
After about a week more, I IM'd him. He said he was going to get the coins out, but had not yet. Then he sent me a PM saying they went out a few days later.
That was the last I heard from him. Also, about that time he STOPPED writing on this board, and has not VISITED the site since 11/20, per his signon page.
I did not get the coins. I sent a PM. Nothing. I sent a PM and an email. Then another of each. Nothing. I waited days between these messgaes. All were a friendly tone and manner, just asking if he put any tracking on them, and where he sent them to, to make sure the address was correct. I had no inkling of any doubt, and was writing in a friendly manner just hoping to get more information as I waited for my coins. No replies came.
I sent numerous emails to his personal email address plus PMs through this site. Nothing.
Finallly, I sent him a letter in the regular mail. This way, even if his computer was broken (Which would explain why he was not posting any more AND why he would not respond to my messages) he would get my message. Even after a MONTH of not getting my order OR a reply, I was STILL thinking there must be an explanation for all this. NO response even to the regualr mail letter. NOw it is six weeks since I paid. I must admit to myself, and share with the board, that I see no other reason other than he is ignoring me and my money is gone. The coins never came, the replies stopped coming, he stopped coming to this board, and I only wonder if anyone else was buying from him and did not get their order.
I have tried everything. I can not get a response.
So, it is with this sadness that I write that it is my opinion that others should please NOT TRUST and NOT SEND MONEY To the following person, as I personally think he is not honest. If things change, I shall GLADLY inform the board that I got the coins, or my money back, or something. But right now, I think we need to avoid him until he replies as to what happened to the order he supposedly sent me, and why he is not responding at all (See? I STILL am trying to figure it out and have faith in SOME way that something HAPPENED to him, and he WILL follow up on this! I'm just not able to believe he screwed me. But until I find out otherwise, please know I Must write this to the board)
The person who disappeared and took my money is
Jason Baker aka Shake-N-Bake.
Jason - if you read this ... I'm still wanting to know what's going on, and why you won't reply to me in any form at all. I sent money and now you are gone. That is fraud, and the P O wants to give you until the end of December and then look into this as postal fraud. ANother step i do NOT want to take, but you need to either send me the coins or send my money back. And COMMUNICATE, so I know what is going on.
I feel like "I" am the bad one, writing that a member screwed me. But I'm the victim here, and I HAVE tried to communicate to him. IMs. PMs, Email Even a letter. NO reply says a LOT to me. Communication would have been so easy, but now I think I was scammed, so I guess I'm asking for too much. And now the board knows, and can watch out for the same guy. Hopefully no one else gave him money and is waiting for an order.
later (maybe much later, as this deflated me)
