My huge sale thread (Invader, Dran, Dolk, Eelus, Zevs etc.), by Deleted on Jul 28, 2017 13:30:07 GMT 1, Id run some checks on the company but it appears he has nothing to do with it, or atleast does not at the moment anyway. It seems he is quite a hard person to track down, but I am sure with us all trying our best to dig around something will come to light. Really need an address for him ideally. Having paid by PP gift (because I had purchased numerous items from him in the past without issue), my options are limited but do still have options nonetheless! Is there anyway to start a private group so information can be shared without others reading it, incase the person in question does actually turn out to be a scammer? Probably best any useful information is kept to ourselves! Still incredibly surprised we are having this issue, really do hope this turns out just to be an innocent mistake, but as times goes by I become more and more sceptical!
To do a private group you need to go on to desktop mode and go to pm then add whoever you need in the group. To add anyone after that,from what I can remember, is to copy the link and add more participants. I did it once and finally worked it out

My huge sale thread (Invader, Dran, Dolk, Eelus, Zevs etc.), by John The Badgers on Jul 28, 2017 19:26:42 GMT 1, Just picked up on this thread, firstly, really sorry to hear of members who have paid for things, and are still waiting. That's grating at the best of times to say the least.
Just my opinion, but I would certainly be contacting the Police, get a crime number etc, onus then for the Feds to investigate this fella. Giving him the benefit, if he has befallen on difficult times, this would be the first thing I'm sure would be investigated, hospital records etc.
If this is a dishonest operation, at least the ball rolling what with numerous complainants, crime numbers etc, at least its in the 'system'.
As mentioned, just my opinion, and I sincerely hope everyone has some recompense.

My huge sale thread (Invader, Dran, Dolk, Eelus, Zevs etc.), by Viking Surfer on Jul 29, 2017 0:30:37 GMT 1, Agreed that everyone needs to start filing claims right away.
Accidents are not uncommon, I know of another member and good friend on here who sadly had a stroke a few months ago and is still MIA / recovering. These things do happen.
With all the other details awash though - multiple items, fake dhl address, whatsapp messages being 'read' and not responded to, this to me definitely seems a scam.
It's a shame these people are out there and help destroy such a great community. I still think everyone should request a passport scan / proof of address. Long term member or not, I usually request this and have supplied mine in turn. Sorry to all those who have been affected by this.

Good idea
why would people not do this?
Should both parties do this?
And at what stage should it be done?
(its early and the 'how to work things out' part of my brain is still having a nap)

My huge sale thread (Invader, Dran, Dolk, Eelus, Zevs etc.), by Art Fan 2011 on Jul 29, 2017 9:34:14 GMT 1, Thankfully this kind of thing whilst prevent in society as a whole is not that common on here. The majority of members share a love of all things art and I've only ever had good dealings over the years. This is the first and hopefully the last problem I've had when buying via this forum.
If it is a scam rather than a genuine issue then I will stop at nothing to track this guy down to ensure he is exposed, it's not really even about the money, it's the principle for me!

People might not do it because of the potential of ID fraud. However with a passport scan, you could just block off the passport number and a few other details like the start / expiry date. It's more to confirm you are who you say you are and that the name matches the second ID (proof of address).
It should be done after both parties have come to an agreement over price. I've used this many times in the past if I haven't been meeting a seller / buyer face to face.

My huge sale thread (Invader, Dran, Dolk, Eelus, Zevs etc.), by Artfan13 on Jul 29, 2017 14:21:04 GMT 1, the only thing is how do you know the passport and proof of address etc isn't being faked. I'm guessing if scamming is your profession it wouldn't take much to deceive someone with some fake documents?
Ps hope everyone on this thread manages to recover their money.

My huge sale thread (Invader, Dran, Dolk, Eelus, Zevs etc.), by raphyki55 on Jul 30, 2017 10:39:00 GMT 1, I have thought a lot about this case
My conclusion is that this might be the biggest scam ever, all the ingredients are here for the perfect recipe :
-having a name, being famous and legit over the years (i.e Madoff) - having a track record nearly perfect -nickname, no ID, prepaid phone - doing a first sale totally legit - adding some objects at a criminally low prices but who cares he's a five star member -price is so damn attractive noone does the lc , don't even wait for the pics, tagged, invoiced or whatever -he's accepting all the payment method
Even if some people will have their money back, he will also...
We're talking about more than 30k from what I've heard

It's the trust in a 5* star member with good references that got us.

What people need to take from this is never ever pay via bank transfer or PP Gift unless you're dealing with someone you completely trust or if you're happy to risk losing that money. Wherever possible I buy and sell in person, but living in London makes that easier than for many on here.

My huge sale thread (Invader, Dran, Dolk, Eelus, Zevs etc.), by turntored on Jul 30, 2017 12:45:54 GMT 1, I bought a print from him when he put up his for sale thread last December and had no problems at all.
What I do remember is chatting with him via PM and wishing him good look as he said he was moving overseas permanently at the beginning of the year.
Might be even trickier to track him down if this is true.

I think if you had done business previously with a member and had spoken with the member on occasion, your guard wouldn't be as high on the next purchase. When you have someone's trust you can really screw them over.
But I think the dude probably moved out of the country. This is the type of scam where you're leaving the country for good and not looking back. Very hard to track down. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if he scammed other people outside this forum. This is a "don't look back" scorched earth scam.

I suppose it's possible the bank account where pp would recover the money from is also dodge and easily abandoned. But that cost would fall on pp and not the original buyer, so long as gift payment wasn't the method.

But that cost would fall on pp and not the original buyer, so long as gift payment wasn't the method. This is the type of scam that took time to concoct. So I'm sure OP took the steps to remove any link to him. Given the 10s of thousands of dollars that was stolen, I wonder how hard PP will go to recover it. It's not even about money for me anymore. It's the principle and hope OP is caught and arrested.

In the meantime lets keep trying to track this guy down!

My huge sale thread (Invader, Dran, Dolk, Eelus, Zevs etc.), by JL Broooks on Jul 30, 2017 19:32:55 GMT 1, That's a very good point - in achieving 5 stars and lots of deals, did anyone in here ever meet RRR in person? It would be very helpful for the police reports and investigation if someone could describe him.
Also I saw from this thread: urbanartassociation.com/thread/142937/huge-sale-hirst-chapman-bros
that Cornish Crayon maybe knew the guy? From the first comment in that thread (or maybe it's just the slang I don't get..). In any case - anyone have contact info on Cornish Crayon? Would be good to just check whether he has any info on RRR from previous deals.

I saw Cornish yesterday and was chatting to him about this thread. He doesn't know RRR.

My huge sale thread (Invader, Dran, Dolk, Eelus, Zevs etc.), by soupy on Jul 31, 2017 9:05:11 GMT 1, looks as though i got burned by him as well. asked for tracking a number of times and it was responded with... "shipping right away". followed up a few days ago saying not received and no response.
did anyone pay via paypal invoice? i asked him to invoice me to pay. seems as though i am having issues starting a dispute process. i keep getting an error. i've contacted paypal but not sure what is going on. i assume paypal invoice offers same buyer/seller protection (as it is not sent as friends/family gift).

Yes your right, if he sent you an invoice then it is covered by the usual Paypal promise of money back if item does not arrive.
Are the MODS able to offer any further help with this guy? The forum is self policing and we need to make sure others do not get stung by this fraudster - he could have multiple accounts and be planning to scam yet more of us.

A five star one..:-( I think the stars are achieved merely by hitting a number of posts not the qualitative nature of those posts. The only way of assessing the character of the person is either through meeting them or confirmatory evidence of such meetings from other members.
