Hi folks,
Many of you might be aware of the name Ed Evans or fasteddie or 1quickgt from YouTube or over at the BD trading forums.
That user has made an appearance here under the name of "93Cobra". We found a match to his user ID based on IP address information as well as some suspicions from users that have dealt with him in the past.
This trader's location is Dundalk, MD, USA.
As a result he has been banned from this forum given his past behavior of defrauding people of many hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
Here are a couple YouTube videos of people that have been scammed. A quick google search will get you more info if you need it.
If you have received any payments from this member, without sending his items out, please let me or another trading moderator know.
If you are awaiting items from this member, please let us know.
As always, we do the best we can around here to look out for all kinds of traders from all kinds of different places.
However, I have noticed that some of the issues we've run across lately could have been avoided and I would like to take this chance to remind any traders of three simple rules that you should remember.
1) Do not pay via paypal gift or amazon gift card if you do not know the trader or if you are dealing with a large transaction.
2) Keep track of your sales / trades in the pending & active sections. These allow us to further investigate and keep track of suspicious behavior.
3) If more than a week goes by with no response from your trading partner on a shipping date, approach a moderator for further help and advice. You'll note that the guy in the first video waited about three weeks even before asking for a tracking number.
Thank you and good luck in all of your future transactions here on Hidefninja.com
