Selling off everything I have!!! Tactic, Hyperion, Custom Painted sv27!!!!!!!

[Rumdog]

ONLY TRUTH is, my wife would not be going on my R/C boat forum less than 24 hours after i passed away. Let alone EVER!! Total B.S. SCAM!

[vq5speed]

I have initiated a Paypal dispute. If it doesn't get resolved by Monday (i.e. proof of death) then I will escalate to a claim. The more I think about this, the more I feel burned. I have no interest in calling this person.

This is the best thing you should of done sooner. That money if it was sitting in the paypal is now frozen or pulled back from there checking. If there is no funds to cover it there when they get money in from another sale it will be frozen. Don't know why they just don't sent the items. Sounds like a scam to me. Good luck hope it works out

[Jesse J]

Thanks Danny, I have called the Police dept and they gave me the number to the St. Lucy County Courthouse..... so we must wait until Monday to find out.... I report back.

Yes I might have filed earlier, but being my first (apparent) scam I am probably a little too trusting in these situations and would rather believe than suspect..... we shall see.

Jesse, if this person died in a car accident, there would be a police report and the victim would be named after the family was notified. This statement from his wife makes no sense "We are leaving tow for 2 weeks, we will be back on the 17 or 18th of july" WE and what about the funeral arrangements, and the sick son, as Daddy had to stay at home to look after him and was incapable of sending a refund...bogus

great resolution!

[z400]

Id make a visit anyways,

I'll even donate for gas money my self

[Jesse J]

Dang, thanks a lot guys for the support! Wolf, I don't know what to say, that is a very generous offer, as is yours Nick and all who are offering to pitch in to help! I just hope this address we have for the Browns is correct... Furthermore, David had told me in an email that the charger got damaged "slid off his workbench onto the cement floor and broke." .... So even if the items were available, not all the stuff I paid for would be in working condition - I wonder now if he might have sold that charger to somebody else....????

So, my preferred resolution at this point is the money. I can assure all that I would be making a visit if I lived nearby as well, but .... at this point it is pretty clear this is scam. Give this, it is most likely that these people will be hard to track.

As for a visit up there, it is up to you. It would be interesting to see if they really are leaving or just what... Too many question marks in this situation..

I appreciate the offers and all the support - what a great bunch of folks.

There is a lesson here only buy from a member that has been arround for a while and even still ask for their mailing address, telophone # via pm prior to completing the deal... if they do not comply move on.

[Jesse J]

You got good point Douggie! Despite how much I don't like these threads, they serve to keep us alert for the scammers out there. I guess I was a little naive on this one...

[Flying Scotsman]

Not naive, just honest!

[TRUCKPULL]

Easy guys, this is along the lines of what I was suspecting but ends up being a real blow.

I just got an email from his wife (I am sure she wouldn't mind me sharing this with you all):

My name is dana brown, davids wife. Im very sorry to inform you and the rest of the ose family that he passed away in a car accident last night in the hospital. I understand he owed you money but please understand the time and pressure im under right now, i will work my hardest to get you a refund ASAP. thanks for understanding

I never really got the feeling he was trying to scam me, just that he was hard up for money and had probably already spent the cash.

She says she will try to get it to me ASAP, so I will try to be patient and stand by.

Jesse

You posted this on July 3
This means that the accident happened on the evening of July 2
The E-Bay items were posted on Fri. morning July 3 -- Dana's E-Bay account
On E-Bay it stats
I am selling this for my friends Wife, he recently passed away and left owing some important people money. We would like to pay those people off, he owes it to the, so if anyone wants anything we are listing please help us out.

I raced boats with him, so his wife asked that i discribe this stuff the best I can.

It also say that they are going out of town for two weeks and will ship the items when they get back.

Who would post items on E-Bay the next morning after there husband died.

this is BS

Sound like they are moving and getting out of Dodge

Any body try phoning them yet??

[Jesse J]

I have not yet. I have been hanging out with family and will probably try tomorrow. Thanks though, will try soon.

[Jesse J]

Mrs. Brown,

I have escalated this case to a claim with Paypal. If you are able to help resolve this by refunding my money, I will cancel the claim directly upon monetary resolution. Otherwise, it is up to Paypal - and that is not a good thing.

Thank you for your communication and attention to this matter.
Jesse

[Raydee]

If this is truely a scam you won't get anything from Paypal, that money is already spent....ask me how I know

Good luck.

That's awesome!

[sailr]

IF you go deep enough into ebay you can get the seller's phone number and address. I have called sellers before. I think it's in the dispute/resolution area.

You got good point Douggie! Despite how much I don't like these threads, they serve to keep us alert for the scammers out there. I guess I was a little naive on this one...

You guys have the attention span of a house fly,,,,don't you remember, she was "going away for 2 weeks"

Thats the only reason there have been no further replies.

So still....


No personal visits?
No phone calls to the local police?

[6S HYDRO]

yeah nobody's called, im about to call these mother f--r's long distance

[Jesse J]

Here is the St. Lucy County court house:
772-462-6900

This is where the police said to call to check on the death of said individual. I have gone back and forth on this calling business... curiosity vs. "this is beyond what I should have to do for a sale"

I may try the court house, but doubt I will try his cell.... yet.

[bigpapa]

i will call tommorrow jesse it's david brown correct
