Me, and Jason had a trade set up for me to send him granstream saga for Grandia both PSX games. We had agreed to both send on 6/23 with
priority mail and delivery confirmation, which i sent to him on 6/23.
He kept in touch until he recieved my games on 6/26, and he had first said he sent on 6/24 to me, but when i emailed him, he replied on 6/28 and said he had sent out on the 27th instead but w/out del.conf.
it is now 7/4 and i have not got my game yet. Now i see he has added at least a dozen other bogus trades.It just seems fishy that this guy
has 2 of every game to trade to diff. people. i only sent same time since i'm new to this site, and now i don't know about this site, i
don't have the money to give away my games. DO NOT TRADE WITH THIS
MAN HE IS A LIAR AND CHEAT, DON'T EVER TRADE WITH HIM UNDER ANY CONDITION, BETTER YET FILTER HIM AND NEVER TALK WITH THIS LOSER.

AND IF YOU'RE READING THIS JASON IF I DON'T GET MY GAME IN THE NEXT WEEK, I WILL PRESS CHARGES, here is the legal statement of mail fraud
and i will press charges, mail fraud is a felony,

We were supposed to trade My final fantasy 7, and 8, And Alundra 2. For his Panzer dragoon saga, and uncharted waters(snes). He convinced me to send at same time. We both agreed that we would send with confirmation numbers, and send priority. I sent my games, and they were recieved. I never revieved my games. He told me that his "brother" sent the games and might have screwed things up. He stayed in good contact untill he recieved his games. Then he just died. No cantact, nothing! i was supiscious at first anyway cause he was a new trader with about 16 pending trades. Thats almost unheard of for a brand new trader. BUT STAY AWAY!!!!!!! The only reason i even agreed to send same time was because i was going on vacation, but i guess that doesnt matter now does it! VERY VERY BAD TRADER, STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS. IF, i say IF, i get my games, then this will come down. ~Phrostbyte~

We agreed on a trade. I was to send Tenchu(psx),Gauntlet Legends (psx), and O.D.T.(psx), in exchange for Lunar Silver Star Story Complete(psx), Final Fantasy Tactics(psx), and Einhander(psx). He kept in constant contact with me (2-3x a day) until I shipped out my games. Before hand, I had some reservations, and asked him if this was a scam. I was assured that it wasn't, and that he already had my games packaged for shipping. I believed him and sent my part of the deal. After I mailed him and told him that the games were sent, he broke off all contact with me. He received my games last week (delivery confirmation), and he refuses to complete that part of the pending trade. I finally received a message that his "brother" sent the games out priority mail with confirmation. I have made repeated requests for the confirmation number so that I may check the status of the package. No reply. If the games were sent out as he claimed, I would have received them no later than today.......and there was nothing. Either way he lied about sending at the same time. Maybe I'm overeacting, but I've been in this situation before. If I get the games I traded for, or the games I sent, I'll take this down. But I'm pretty sure that I will see neither happen. Don't send your games to him unless you've already gotten your end of the deal. He'll tell you what you want to hear, then send you nothing.

If any of you have information on his identity.....real name, phone #, etc., please forward it to me via e-mail. I would very much like to be compensated for my loss, or begin mail fraud proceedings. Thank you.
