I knew this was too good to be true. But when he showed me "his" feedback record on Switchouse (which Im almost positive is not his) I went ahead and traded with him. He seemed like a nice enough guy on AIM and chat, and claimed to work for IGN. He also sayed he got engaged and was getting married. Well I sure hope she doesnt marry this loser. Well anyways, I sent my stuff and I still dont know if he recieved it but Im almost positive it did. So he said he would be shipping my stuff out and I said great. So I wait and nothing. I catch him on AIM and ask. Well his "brother" made a mistake in shipping, and would be sending off again. After this he wasnt on AIM so I emailed him and still got no response so yesterday I sent this email:
I just looked at your page and apparently youve been screwing everyone
out of games. Well you have 24 hours to respond to this before I file
for mail fraud. And seeing as how my Uncle's a lawyer that wont be good for you. And im telling you right now sending me the stuff I sent you back to me wont work. We made a binding agreement when we traded and I expect you to uphold your part of the trade.
I do fully intented to file for mail fraud to the fullest extent of the law, and he will pay for the items he owes me and all court costs.
Thanks for your time,
Brent

I had a feeling he wasn't legit, but I went through with the trade anyways (I could care less about the game I sent and I really wanted tomba). I will also make sure that he gets what's coming to him. I suggest that everyone who got ripped-off fill out a mail fraud report form. If we all fill one out, that will be enough to start an investigation against him. Mail fraud is a serious crime and no one should let him get away with it.
