Maybe contact vo7848, who is a moderator that lives in Houston, to see if he knows the guy? He may be able to help.

Knock on wood, but I've had more trades with members on here that I have iTraders to show for it (some people just aren't as avid about filling it out). I'm wary just like I would be anywhere else and I check their iTrader, previous posts, and threads they've started to get an idea of whether or not I want to do business with the person.

I've been extremely pleased with the quality of the people that I've dealt with on here. Definitely better than I would expect from the general population. That having been said, I hope that I'm not due for a disappointment in future transactions. With the economy in the crapper, more people are becoming shady.

Interesting. The name bwoodballa (with the "real" name Roberto Torres) from the plate frame FS thread above is also mentioned as a scammer here on paintaball nation:

Can a mod go through Accessories and look for that deleted HellaFlush Plate FS thread? Curious to see who the seller was... BECAUSE IT WAS NOT HIM and somehow he is using the same picture to sell it on another site. He may have another name on here. I remember reporting the thread the other night when I was going through the Marketplace.

got him!

https://my350z.com/forum/members/47867-bwoodballa.html

He's been involved with something like this previously and he's already banned. This is another account. Look at his posts.
