Yea, highly unlike @Scott to be inactive like this. Admittedly, I started checking on his last login since he received the BTR. I hope everything is alright.

Damn hope he’s okay. @Scott has been consistently one of the friendliest and best members of the community here

He's on my Switch friends list and he has been using it, so he seems to be fine. Wonder what's up with him - one of the last people I would have expected to leave this site with an unresolved BTR.

The Switch thing doesn’t always mean it’s him. Could be one of his kids. I hope he’s OK too. He’s always been a stand up guy.

Yeah, super odd and not really worried at all about the trade since I know he’s been amazing around here. Hope everything is okay with him

It makes no sense that this would be an intentional scam at $89. Maybe just dealing with something and getting sidetracked. Hopefully it works out for him, he's able to make good on these and he comes back. Always seemed like a good dude even when we didn't see eye to eye.

This, for sure.

I just emailed him.

Thanks for reaching out Bean

I don't know what is going on but I'm 100% certain that he would not rip someone off intentionally.

Same. I’d be down for helping him out. I hope he responds/has responded to @MrBean.

Hope he's okay.

Same.

Ok a few things.

- Again, really hope Scott is fine. It sucks that he will have a deleted BTR on his record... those do disappear eventually, right? Even so I get it, EclipseLion used the system that's in place and I don't place blame one bit.
- MrBean what you did was very cool and again just shows your character. Good on you.

- Now, did I miss something here? Is Scott, Scott the Woz? and why is nobody talking about it? I watch a few of his videos and I like the content. Regardless I have subscribed to the channel.

Not the same person. I think EclipseLion was just being snarky in the BTR

I love the fact that this community looks out for one another, says something about us all.

Unfortunately, I haven't been successful in connecting with him through various means. I've continued my search and have tried several failed ventures.

I did ask one of our other members here to reach out as he has his personal phone number. Hoping we get news shortly.

Let's hope for the best.

Thanks all

It really is. Thank you for doing it though. Especially when we know its someone who is an upstanding member of our community. I know you will keep us posted unless it's a private matter and I think we all would understand that.

Aye, Scott is good peeps, and super glad @ClearSights surfaced this for awareness. I was holding out on an update, hoping to share something better ... but clearly others here are worried as well, and just want to know if things are OK with one of our fellow commrades.

Also shoutout to @Groo who also proposed pooling together funds to help cover our boy. Another sign of having a kickass community that cares about the well being of others.

We'll end up finding out that the dude was just enjoying a vacation and had to disconnect for a bit!

... Scott is like, twice that other dude's age, so no. :p

Then again so are most of us semi regular old timers...

Scott *does* have sense on social media and that sort of thing...I could see him disengaging from it, but after he took care of the trades. :(

Finn wrote:

And that’s why I did it

I messaged him on discord but heard nothing back.

It just now struck me as funny that this dude is probably dealing with some crap and he now has half of GTZ hounding him to see if he's ok.

All over, $80. Truly a egregious, heinous amount of money.

I don't think anyone is worried about the money/trades vs his well being.

Yeah, I couldn't care less about the trade. Honestly was concerned and wanted to see if others heard anything after I let it go for about a month

My message to him:

"Everything OK on your end? There's some people on GTZ concerned something happened to you."

Monetary value isn't the issue. I hope he's alright. The world isn't an easy place right now.

... shouldn't that say "Never has been?"

@ryanflucas Haven't been here in forever but had to check in, you're still a painfully nice of a guy, lol, blast from the past. I hope all is well with you as well as Scott.

Personally think it’s funnier with the grammatical inconsistency. Hope Scott’s okay.

Long time no chat. Hope you're having a good holiday weekend!

Hope Scott's ok. Maybe someone who's traded with him could google his address and find his phone number

Maybe just leave him alone? If he comes back, he comes back.

How, pray, in the hell is the pic related to the post? Apologies if I don't understand...

It's from the movie Taken, and is referencing the lengths this thread is suggesting to track him down to see if he's ok. In the movie his daughter was kidnapped and sold into sex slavery, thus the father stating he will find them and will kill them. GTZ collectively lost around $90 and they are trying to find Scott to make sure he's ok. A joke.

So, you're saying Scott is a sex slave now?

Rich middle easterners and made women can only hope...

Yea I know what the movie's about, thank you for explaining it anyways. I guess my humour is somehow distinct from yours or something...

We could send the Teletubbies after him. Maybe that's better?

Is he really Scott the Woz? How did I miss that?

@ryanflucas

Anyone track down this mythical creature yet?

Hope he’s all right. Kinda strange how he just ghosted.

Something pretty serious has to be up. This isn't like him at all. Hope he's okay.

Hope he's OK. I've tried email and LinkedIn, nothing. We have a fellow GTZ'er that has his phone number and also hasn't heard back. I'm a bit nervous at this point but hoping he's just dealing with some matters that he'd rather be left alone over.

Hope you're doing well @Scott, life can be difficult and kick ya in the balls, but ya got some good peeps here rooting for ya. Those kiddos need ya, be strong buddy!

I have access to national courts and bankruptcy database. I can also locate obits. Just send me some info and I'll look.
