Rangerbob86 is a scammer (banned from A4F) Do NOT trade with
Isn't It A Pity?

He ripped me off for my PrimoDinero ref over at A4F. There was a long thread about some others he scammed too but I didn't read much into those situations. Anyway, he was finally banned because he basically said "I don't care screw everybody and just ban me." After that I managed to contact him on AIM saying that if he would just do an offer I would even reimburst him the cost of it if he went green (keep in mind I had already gone green on his site from our arrangement so I was not obligated to do this). Well he TOLD me he did another offer and sounded very convincing. It's quite appearant now that he was leading me down a dark alley of hope....hope that he really meant well. So now he just ignores me on AIM after repeated messages I send to him.
Now, when I asked him why he told them he doesn't care and to just ban him, he said he's done with freebies anyway and thats why. SO then why after that point did he come here and make this thread?>>> http//forum.freeipodguide.com/viewtopic.php?t=53106&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
That's why I made this thread; because I see that he fled A4F only to try to come here thinking people will never know. You can't just leave you're reputation behind like that.
EDIT Here is the link to the complaint thread over at A4F where he was banned.>> http//www.anything4free.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=76462

wow, he gets banned for scamming people and i get banned for spamming a site indirectly related to a4f P.
note he was once a moderator aka super cop at a4f p
i guess its true that mods get special "treatment"
he actually had to say "ban me" before they did something haha.

He was never a moderator or super cop, he WAS a trade cop then he wasnt when he couldnt even handle his own trades. We banned him yes but we gave him no special treatment.
There is a difference between a trade cop and a super cop.. A Super Cop (Dabbs and Myself) are super moderators specializing in trade enforcement. Trade Cops only resolve trade issues and vote on bans. Rangerbob had numerous complaints, lead users on and on and was eventually banned. Thats how the cookie crumbles.

Haha! I told RangerBob in that thread that one day he'll want to trade again! Now he has come to FiPG to get trades, steer well clear!!
And RangerBob was removed as a trade cop as soon as the complaints started against him, he was then a normal member for a while before he was banned.

I suck big donkey balls at my job. The only people who keep me in line are twhitmore, newborn and alesha. Im so lazy.
BTW I did not mean to diminish the A4F Trade Cop roll in anyway. Trade Cops (which I am one too) are vital to maintaining order on A4F these days and newborn and twhitmore have done MORE than their share to do everything possible to make A4F a better place. They merely dont vote on bans and regulate trades and I know its hard to explain unless you actually are part of it but it's like a FT job and I wanted to thank them for all their hard work.

Well, hey man I understand that you think you might have been banned for a BS reason (and in-turn I now understand why you even have a comment on this). BUT, maybe (and I have no idea) your situation could be classified as a misunderstanding where the hidden truth lies somewhere in between just [i897f79ec68]three[/i897f79ec68] parties; you, you trader and the offer company. Well, with Rangerbob86 the truth is obvious. Everything is clear; no mistake about it. So, please don't apply your (allegedly petty) situation to a situation such as Rangerbob86 vs. THE PEOPLE (multiple victims...we KNOW we've been scammed). You have taken your chosen stance for the reason that you, yourself was banned from A4F. That's biased.
But, you are entitled to your opinion. roll

Hey, I have a trade pending with Rangerbob to go green on gaming.customorderthis.com and goldenfreebies.com. He said he could not do gaming.customorderthis.com and communicated to me what was going on with that trade. That site was down for a bit too. However, I sent him an email telling him I have to cancel the trade for golden because he signed up and ignored my messages regarding the trade. He said he did an offer and wanted payment on green. However, he shows 0 credits and even noted our trade as offer completed. I sent him an email to find out if he was waiting on manual credit, but like I said, he never responded. So, I cancelled the trade. Keep in mind, this trade has been open for about 3 weeks. Now, I see this thread where he seems suspicious. I'm glad I did that. ) He just seems shady. At one point, I thought he was just pulling me along til whenever he felt like completing the trade.
Just thought I would add this since I got a response from Rangerbob86 regarding the goldenfreebies.com trade. He states he did complete an offer and submitted for manual credit. More than that, he states he's asked the admin on the site about it. So, I send an email asking what offers he did so I can verify it with the admin. He reads my message and never responds back...so again, just Shady behavior and again will emphasize someone who's pulling me along til whenever.
Isn't It A Pity?
27-03-2007 21:18:04
Yea, be careful pennybags. He pulled that same shit on me except we weren't just entering a trade like you were. It was his turn to go green. He told me he did an offer on my PrimoDinero but then he never responded after that (and remember, he OWED me this ref...I had already greened for him way before then). He ditched me. He SCAMMED me. Now he's around here taking advantage of newbs. I shoud have checked with PrimoDinero's admin about that supposed offer he did. But it wasn't even worth opening a support ticket about because KNOW he didn't do it.
pennybags
28-03-2007 00:36:14
Thanks for the warning! I appreciate that, and I agree with ya. I bet he didn't even attempt to do the offer and had you contacted the admin of the site he was supposed to do you may have even had that verified. However, one thing is for sure. This guy has poor communication skills. Oh, and I haven't contacted the admin of golden yet because he was offline. However, I intend on following up on his supposed request for manual credit. Sorry to hear you got scammed out of a green. Honestly, I think it was nice of you to offer him payment to finish. Sounds like he should've just gone green per your terms. This is just sad.

I thought I'd give this guy a break because we had set up a green for green trade. My green took about 3 weeks to credit but it finally went green. I got ahold of him via aim and he thanked me and said he would be greening for me. He also answered my pm's a couple of weeks ago and said he would green after I greened. Now he won't answer pm's and would not respond to my aim even though he was online. I guess I will just chalk it up to bad experience. Sure seems to be a rash of scammers lately.

Yep...so there you go, people. That's just about the EXACT way he did me. Well, sorry you had to have that happen to you. Too bad they won't ban his ass. I guess we just wait to see who he gets next. roll
Anyway, be sure to have your green removed on the site you did for him. Atleast then he will have just wasted your time/offer money AND wasted his own time aswell. Don't let him get away with the green too, though.

Okay, at this point I'm upset with FiPG for not BANNING his ass already and letting more newbs get ripped! How many more people will he be allowed to scam? I have done what I could. Everytime I see that he has opened a new thread to lure in victims I make sure to warn the people. But threads eventually fall down to 4th, 5th and 6th page. So, people will miss my message.
As you see, by making this thread I tried to warn people about him before he even got started here since I was one of his many victims at A4F. NOW he HAS begun his scamming spree and he's LOVING IT. How long will this be allowed? Do the mods pay any attention around here?
I don't understand how he has made it so far here after all we victims have done to try to stop him. Does scamming PAY at FiPG?

O.K. if you want to be left alone that is fine. You just need to do your end of the trade. I see you signed up on primodinero bluray to complete our trade on 4/7/07. It is now 4/23/07 and the site shows you have not done any offers. I am also skeptical because it looks to me like you have signed up on primodinero previously. Isn't that a violation of primo's TOS?

I will take back what i previously said about him, because he took his time to discuss all matters instead of blocking me or whatnot.
Although I wish things could have went better, I know that I can leave this transaction now without loss. Thank you
