Fumblefingers, maybe I have this all wrong and if so I sincerely apologize. I got the impression that you were here just to bust chops. I'm now much more leaning towards the OP being the 'culprit' in all this- or at the very least negligent in the extreme as to how he does business on this forum. That said, hopefully this is just a case of procrastination and not thievery.

Tell you what- if it turns out you are ripped off I'm going to send you a Nitecore UM10 charger, a Samsung 25R battery and a UD Zephyrus Sub Ohm atty. I also have a Katady K Vapor V70 mod I can send, it's not TC or even high tech but it vapes fine and is in VG condition. These things aren't worth the amount of money you sent him but at least you will be vaping. I'm subbed to this thread and will be following along.

Following to see if seller is indeed a lying thief or a misunderstood neophyte.

God Cobalt, THANKS! I'm tapped out now w/PP, but not without smokin' stuff. If this is just "stuff" you're not using, I promise to enjoy it! Let me know for sure, and I will give you my address. By the way, I knew you didn't understand my "female" joke, and as I told Whiskey, it's just BS - women, especially young ones, don't really ignore me. I'm at the age they know they can flirt w/me, safely. I didn't take much offence.

My wife and I were both smoking 2.5 packs a day, and I tried her sisters Ego (I think), and I knew I could quit. Check this out:

RECAP - MINNIE AND HUGH 8/22/2015
Start Date: 4/24/2014
478 days since buying a cigarette
$20 per day-not spent!
$9,560 GROSS SAVED!
19,120 CIGARETES NOT SMOKED EACH!
As CONSERVATELY compared to Marlboro Reds
As CONSERVATELY compared to the AMOUNT we smoked
2x2=4 pks/day=carton every 2.5 days
$50/carton=$5/pack=$20/day

Not bad for a fat, old, tired, broke guy, huh?I put a whole spreadsheet together, and it updates automatically every day, and sometimes I like to go back and take a look at t. I haven't bought a cigarette since, although it took a while to quit hitting up my step-son (who lives with us) for a smoke now and then. That's over now, and I just recently got him started on vaping. I just wonder if I'm the oldest Vape Addict here?

Anyway, thanks for the post. It may be that this experience turns out worthwhile if I wind up with a friend or two from it.

Munchy, that's what the PP lady told me. I also wasn't bs'ng about the cops. They have gotten serious about cybercrime, and I will follow up. It'd sure be stupid to wind up in trouble over $75, wouldn't it. Bail, maybe a fine? Who knows, maybe I'll get the last laugh. I live in Fla, and he lives in Ark, he said. I only have his em addy, but he's supposedly registered w/PP, and if so, like I said, who knows? He told me to be sure to send the $ under "friends and family", and that should have been a big red flag to me. I live on Social Insecurity, so I don't have $ to blow, but at least it was "only" $75

After reading all the additional information @fumblefingers provided, I am now leaning towards scammed as well. I try really hard to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but it's not looking good for the OP at the moment. I truly hope he makes good on the deal, but it sure does smell like a rip off currently. With any luck, @fumblefingers will get his money back.

@cobalt327 I think it is AWESOME that you are able to help him out! I went through a rough time when someone stole my vape bag out of my car, it had almost *everything* in it, and people like you were what kept me from smoking and getting back up again. Since then, I have given away most of the stuff I couldn't/wouldn't use to vapers in need. I will also go through my stuff and see if there is anything left that I can pass on to him as well.

@fumblefingers congrats on successfully quitting smoking and switching over to vaping! I hope you never get taken like this again. I know it is something you have already figured out, but no one should EVER use the friends and family option to send money, unless it's really to a friend or family member. I got taken that way once as well, over in the classies on ECF. Not nearly as bad as you did, I at least got some of the stuff I expected, just not all of it, and it wasn't in the condition it was advertised in. I did try to fight it through the forums, but they were quick to point out that the instructions clearly say NOT to use the F&F method for payment. Thankfully, I wasn't out a lot of cash.

Sailcat - "misunderstood neophyte"? I doubt it. It's been 17 days, and I warned him late on the 8th, when I saw that he hadn't posted it sold, that I would out him if it didn't get sent. Then I waited almost two weeks before I did it. He sent me a PM, immediately after I posted my flame, saying he had "f/u my address" and that it had come back, and that he had re-mailed it ""yesterday". Right! If he was a real dumb shit, he could have figured-out how to get it to me by now. Even if I get it now, it's only because of this posting. I'm new here, but I'm going to figure out how to tell the whole group about him.
BTW - I have a USPS account, and get em notice when anything is heading my way, and no notice has arrived. - That tell you anything?

Even if this thread is the ONLY reason you get it, at least you will have it. I hope, for your sake, that it does show up. I suggest following the advice from @Whiskey and posting something over in the "Hall of Shame" area.

Thank you all for all the replies, and your thoughts. I think I have replied to most, so far, BUT I wasn't doing it right, so you may have missed my personal reply to each of you. I will try to rectify that soon as I can. I left for a few, to do a better job of "filling in the blanks" on my account. I've decided I'd like to be a more serious member of this group. I can tell there are some great folks here.

I think there's a known scammers thread around here somewhere, add this douche bags name and Address to it. So others aren't ripped off. Also like someone else said file a CC claim even though you did go gift option with PP you can still dispute with the card you used through PP.
And again fuck this lowly POS.

'62-'66, it probably was from your time in blue. His name was LTC Bob Bigrigg. He was a highly distinguished F105 "Wild Weasel" fighter pilot with 3 tours in Vietnam, and more than 100 missions. He earned a silver star and distinguished flying cross, among many other awards. It was something he never talked about, and I never knew until he passed, all I knew was that he too was a retired brother in arms.

As for your replies, you can either use the "reply" link, or post as a regular post, either way, they show up in the thread. It's usually pretty easy to see what you were replying too, even if you didn't use the reply function.

I truly hope you get your money or the equipment you paid for!

"Wild Weasel" - that guy had balls of steel. That was the most dangerous job in the air, and the 105 was known as the "Thud" - exactly what it did if it had a flame-out, and that happened frequently. Weren't super maneuverable, but pretty fast. I didn't have enough sense to stay til retirement, but sure wish I had now. Well, Time for my beauty rest. Nite all!

I got your reply, @fumblefingers, and while I was giving the OP "benefit of the doubt" privileges, it seems a little generous in hindsight.

Yeah, he deserves to be listed in Scammers' Row, er, Hall of Shame.

I believe he's saying he's following this thread because what happened to you is BS.

Anyway, the more I think about it, it just doesn't make any sense that this is a rip-off. JV901 hasn't been on this forum since Thursday. We all know shit happens. There's at least a chance something happened on a personal level that is more important than selling something here. I just find it hard to believe he set out to scam someone for such a small amount, comparatively speaking. And there's the fact I made him an offer via PM for $65.00, he countered with $70.00- if he were a scammer, I would think he'd have taken my $65.00 and also taken FF's money, too. Would have been very easy to do because FF and I were both dealing w/him using PM, and we were in contact with him at the same time.

Sorry guys, I already messages Cobalt the whole story, and messaged Fumble this weekend that it was shipped out. Long story short I am moving, Haven't been able to be online much, but I went ahead and added a lot of extra goodies to the package, hope this all Calms down when he gets the package sometime this week

Hey @fumblefingers, I hope your week is off to a good start, maybe this will be the week for some kind of resolution? @JayVape901 seems to have gone completely radio silent. Pretty damning that he just vanished.

I just PM'ed JV and I'm pleased to announce my instincts were accurate and all IS well! JV has been busy but he's sent out everything plus extra goodies and I'm sure FF will be happy once he receives everything, even though it took longer than expected.

I am the first to try and give someone the benefit of the doubt, but the fact that JV was silent for so long really did not sit well. It is definitely a step in the right direction that he is back in the thread, and I really hope that FF is happy with what he receives from him.

@JayVape901 thanks for dropping in to update the thread!

Let it be said, woe unto anyone who actually does scam someone here! We were all set to lynch someone! :p And rightfully so, IF it had been a rip-off. Nothing wrong w/watching out for our fellow vapers, just glad this has worked itself out.

So this is sold? Give him a message for me, ask for the thread to be closed if the sale item is sold, next time he puts up a thread like this he better tend to it.

Also following this is B.S
First off, Chuck, I totally misunderstood your post, so please accept my apologies. The way it appeared to me was that it was BS to follow this. I most humbly APOLOGIZE.

OK, GUYS & GALS - I just got an email from JV - say's he's sending it out (19 days late). We'll see. Maybe being famous changed his plans. I don't know, but this has been a learning experience for me. I still have to trust folks, because, being as broke as we are, only way I can add to my goodies is going to be buying used, or possibly continue watching the clearance sales (not now - later, hopefully). I love genesis tanks, and my most fave so far is my Smok RSST. Gotta check the forums, and see if there is a sub-group. (So far, I found out about the Vets, and I will be checking them out soon.) Maybe I will see if there is one for Fat, Old, Tired, Broke Guys.

Anyway, I want to thank all of you for your kind words of encouragement. This experience with all of you, has really lightened the load. I'm a big boy, so I haven't been sitting around crying, but I've been mad as hell, and in a foul mood. Ya'll have really been good for that.

Cobalt, I don't know what you said to JV - But thanks. Regardless of what he says now, though, I don't trust him. Even if I do get a package from him, I still wouldn't. Moving is no excuse for ignoring your obligation to send out something which someone already paid you for. Actually, This is the third time he has said that. Not being able to get online much, BS! He posted for me to read my messages, seven minutes after my post on Thursday afternoon - take a look - and sent me a PM. I'm sure he's here now. Anyway, he sent me a PM on the 8th, saying it had been shipped, and another today which said the same thing. I'm not holding my breath.
