User 9mmbullitt failed to go green for me after I completed an offer for his site. Try to avoid trading with him. He has a good trade record of 39 so don't be fooled. Admins are worthless because they won't even respond to my PM's.

Now, to be fair there phucst3r, you only PMed one moderator, and it was less than 24 hours ago. But I know how frustrating it can be to get scammed.

That said, I am not convinced that you are being scammed. It looks like 9mmbullitt planned to submit a missing credit request about 10 days ago. Generally speaking, that should be enough time to clear things up. But given his record, it's worth giving him the benefit of the doubt for a few more days. The more time you spend pursuing freebie sites, the more patient you'll learn to be.

If 9mmbullitt doesn't return to the site and clear things up within a few days, PM me and I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, perhaps a polite email or IM would give you some insight into where he stands with his end of the deal.

I don't know if people have (continued) stating this other places, but I will add it here Just because someone has a good TR level (in this case, this "9mmbullitt" has a TR of 39), it does not mean they are a safe trader or even someone you should trust offhand. And I can say that because scammers can find ways of boosting their TR quickly so they seem like "legit" traders.

Now, I know that they may seem reputable ... their join date was October 19, 2005 ... but look at their community participation 98 posts. In over 2 years. Now, TR is the basis for trading, but you have to wonder why someone who has been here over 2 years hasn't bothered to say more in the community. That would be a caution flag.

That said, maybe they are on vacation. Since their last login date is hidden, only the Mods can see when he last logged in.

And brita It will be more helpful for you to show proof that the site shows he hasn't even clicked an offer, or PM it to the FiPG mods.

Hope you guys get this fixed.

SORRY I LIKE CAPS LOCK.....YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH I HEAR THAT. I WONDER WHY? MAYBE IT'S HARD TO READ OR SOMETHING.....SERIOUSLY I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE BIG DEAL IS. AND BY THE WAY I POSTED HERE FOR THE MODS TO READ NOT THE ADDICTS

If you understand how forums, etc, work, then you will realize that typing in all CAPS is considered the equivalent of yelling. And yes, it is harder to read.

Posting opens your thread to any comments, as long as they are not flaming. If you wish to correspond with only Mods, use a PM instead. You're not even the original poster anyway......
