I sent a THIEF Michael Greyshock (Motherlode Mike) $575.00 for a metal detector. on March 3rd 2020. Kept telling me some run around. March 31 told me it was sent UPS would not give me a tracking number. Nothing ever came. He will not reply back or answer my phone calls any more 530-802-3874 . I have filed a complaint with the F B I waiting for there reply. Told me he lives in California. Let me tell a little more about this THIEF !!! He sells Dirt with so called gold inside it. He ALSO writes stories for a few prospecting magazines. He tricked me into sending him the payment as a gift through Paypal. He KNEW WHAT THE HELL he was doing I did not. If anyone has any more info on him let me know. DO NOT EVER SEND a PAYMENT to ANYONE as a GIFT through Paypal !!!~

I even went as far as to ask others about him and was told NOT ONE COMPLAINT !!!

DO NOT EVER SEND a payment to SOMEONE through paypal as a gift ( I thought as A GIFT I was charged :( NOT SO !!! I have been on the internet since 1984 this was my FIRST really bad deal !!!

Just know what and who your dealing with and what for !!11

That's a shame, Gare. Maybe he'll step in front of a bus, or something equally painful. Hate thieves and liars.

Gare, in the end he will not benefit from stealing your money.

I am a firm believer in "The Eternal Law of Retribution", and
that retribution will not come postmortem...fear not..before he
croaks, nature will balance the scales.

Sorry to hear that, Gare. Agree to all above, thieves live long REALLY seldom. So I'm pretty sure your info will help authorities will track him down.

I'm so sorry that happened to you and these guys are right, he will get his tenfold.

If the FBI doesn't get back to you soon, call the police or sheriff in the town he lives in, they should take care of it.

Good Luck,
Kace

I have contacted the two parties and have given information to both. I think that this has been a gross misunderstanding, buoyed my extensive personal problems. Happy to have done my part.

What about PayPal?? Will they do anything for you. It is an obvious scam, they should. So sorry that happened.

This is getting downright cryptic.

Gare paid for detector on March 3rd, was told it was physically being shipped March 30 by Motherlode Mike and Gare has not received detector yet and Motherlode Mike has ignored all communication attempts since.

Roverboy, stay out of it, this is between Motherlode Mike, Gare and TreasureNet. I know for a fact Gare did not ask you to get involved nor did TreasureNet. All Gare wants at this point is his money back.

Roverboy is unable to reply further.

Motherlode Mike has Gare phone number and email and has made no attempt to contact Gare or return his money or detector, sale is over 60 days old, more than enough time to have resolved this issue.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune Gare. They are out there, ( I know, as I work at my County Jail with 750 inmates ). Maybe somehow, it will work out for you. If not, maybe he'll be caught and sent where he belongs. As another point, I am a retired UPS Delivery Driver, with 27 years in the Brown truck. I can guarantee you, if he won't give you a tracking number, the package was never sent. The same would be for FedEx, Post Office, etc. That's why they all use tracking numbers, so you can follow the package and find it if it gets lost.

Have you been refunded yet? "Roverboy70" would like us to think it was resolved?

Also, unless pigs can fly, you are dead on, Roverboy70 is definitely connected somehow to the scammer, if not he himself.

I've seen David Lyga's writings before . he post often on C.L rants and raves and dares people to look him up ,then post his name ,address and phone number.
it is the same style writing as I've seen before so I know it's him. I find it a bit odd to see him on here. google his name , the man loves to be involved in stuff.

Thread cleaned, he will no longer be posting here, he can troll some other forum.
