I got into a trade with Scooter2479 - I signed up for his IWannaFreeGame and did Blockbuster, which went green in about 3 hours. We were communicating via PMs and he said he'd do an offer for my FreeFlatScreens the same evening, but he never even signed up and he's not replying to my PMs.
After a quick Google, I've got his real name, work address and work phone number.
He's got 7 TR, so I thought he could be fairly trustworthy. How long do I wait before contacting him at work?

Yeah, I just did freeipodshuffles for him, and he has not done his part of the trade.
Its been about a week, and I am starting to get mad.

Look at the thread we have about him. This is not a good sign. I advise that no one else trades with him. He may be a no show from here on out. He may have got the refs he needed and left.

He works Mon-Fri, but he's probably off tomorrow for the 4th. I'm going to call him on Tuesday and see whats up. If he ends up being a dick about this, I'll be posting his contact details.

well joymonkey a member of the forums owns iwannafreegame so I'm sure you can talk to him about possibly getting their credit taken away for scamming.

Not really so much that it's them, but because they're both in the midst of iPod ads....

i think we are all in trouble. i completed his [b96a78a39a7]freeflatscreens[/b96a78a39a7] so there is no way that he could do yours. i think we might have our answer now.

I don't think slease or other owners should reverse credit or moderate between users. This can be a very slippery slope.

If more proof can be brought forward I'd look into it. My site does not condone scamming, I think it's worse than spamming. What is the timeframe this trade occured joymonkey?

BUT.. it's still only been less than a week. Lets all just hope for the best and at least wait til it's been a week before we get really worried.
