Is there a good reason why you are commenting on old threads? This one is from almost 2 years ago.

Thanks for comments. Fortunately, I did not lose money this way. Since then, I am very tolerant on seller saying "this bank check needs 10 days to clear before I can send anything out"..... fully understandable, take your time. Some sellers were very kind sending the item(s) out immediately even if the payment was a personal check. That's nice, but .... I know I am a good guy, but how do you know that.... too risky.

What is the point of your question to suum cuique? I am also the victim of an internet rip off a few years ago. Sent my MO to a fellow in Australia and he claims he sent me the item, never arrived in the US. My loss. Joe

I am sorry you were victimized. I asked that question after having waided through a half dozen updates that summ cuique evidently felt compelled to resurrect by adding his thoughts on the subject. Old threads are a great source for information and I am whole heartedly behind consulting them. However, commenting on them ( which brings them up on the "new posts" list) seems unnecessary and perhaps a bit vain. Just my opinion. Call me a grumpy old man if you must.

I understanding both points of view, but as moderator, I kinda agree with grumpy ole Rich, old threads are great to read, but sometimes not always be brought up again.
this thread, well, its a sticky, so kinda almost begs to be brought up. Ed

Andy is a new Member and is reading old posts. New Members do that. This post and many other old posts are as relavant to new members as they once were for us when they were originally posted..albiet many moons ago.
I visit this Forum and several others everyday and pretty much keep up but when an old post strikes a key in new Members... we should be happy they are here and interested. They are just trying to be active and participate. In fact...during some times of the year the Forums can be boring with no new exciting posts. At least somethings being discussed. Yup..Yer a grumpy old man. Jerry Burney

Now here I go with a comment;
While I agree that older posts are a great source of information, I do feel that anybody, old member or new, who dredges them up with a comment such as "I'm sorry to hear this" or "this happened to me once", which adds nothing to the thread or the general knowledge of the board is a waste of time, bandwith and as Rich pointed out, a little bit vain. |

As the originator of this old thread, it kind of opened an old wound and I felt ripped off all over again.

Get the Feds in
I'd get the FBI in, that is interstate fraud. I once had a fake Certified Check for a load of freight I hauled from NY to Michigan. My bank called the local FBI office and I had my money in 48 hours. I'd also call ATF and tell them he is attempting to sell guns with no license. Good Luck.
