Well he read my PM today a while before he signed off, but obviously no post here.

magicman327 is his handle on AIM, you might have more luck there. if he doesn't post up here within 48 hours of signing on next(or 72 hours total) i will change his user status to reflect a bad trader status, and go from there.

and if we all do it the court fees and his bail bond for FRAUD will cost much more than he has tried to rips us off, i am about principal and will spend the time and effort to get this guy if i am cheated

Good luck with that. The Detroit PD is notorious for showing up to "break-ins" 24 hrs after the actual burglary. 911 response can sometimes be as long as 4 hours. I highly doubt the DPD will care much about you guys.

I seriously hope you all get your product and/or money back, just don't rely on DPD to get it done. BTW, it's unlikely his name is actually Jack Johnson. The two Johnsons listed eariler in the thread could be coincidental. Mostly black people in Detroit and Johnson is a very common black last name.

HOLY ****!!! I was just about to post up something about him, said he had some black halo's for sale...
Kept telling me he would sell them to me, and never sent them, and now I can see he reads the pm's but doesn't respond. Think I might just have to put a claim through paypal. Son of a bitch, that pisses me off.

that individual has been permanantly banned from this website since he has been unwilling to respond to PMs and continues to rip people off after I have tried contacting him.

sorry if that hinders your ability to contact him, but his AOL IM handle is magicman327 as well, and his email is magicman327@hotmail.com as well. Hopefully this will help with any investigations you may have ongoing.

Please keep this thread updated if you get any refunds or new information about this individual, but keep it constructive.

Got me too. I should have known better, only 5 posts and the transaction seemed shady. I paid him with paypal though so it shouldn't be a problem to get my money back.

Yes you will win your claim with paypal, but if he has no money in his paypal account then you wont get anything back. Paypal is the biggest scam of all, but there aren't really a lot of choices... Chances are none of us will get anything back from this scumbag.

Are you sure? I know a guy who sold something, and the buyer charged back (the buyer was the one doing the scamming). The guy had nothing in his account and they still took the money out, so now it has a negative balance.

Paypal or visa, I'll get it back.

Yes paypal will give them a neg balance but wont give you money until they get it from that person, and chances are they'll never get it so you won't see a dime.
