[WadeFillingame]

IP traces to upstate NY.  Troy, Uncasville area.  

Been a member since 2011.  If this is what it looks like it another of those sleeper bad eggs that has decided to grab some cash on the way out.  

[i]edit: Looks like he has been gone for the better part of two yrs until the latest posts.  This does seem to look like a thief.[/i]

Yall, see this thread here:

Basically, some of those taken banded together and one of them filed a police report. Wire fraud investigations are supposedly being pursued much more aggressively by law enforcement since it's much easier to collect evidence in this age of digital payments.

I believe ccman was the lead on the action referenced in the BZ thread above. You might try asking him or one of the others for advice if yall go this route.

Best of luck. This guy's profile shows he was on yesterday. And he's got good feedback from a month ago, but perhaps that was the carpet he rolled out for the long con.

XTR do you have any phone number,address number,email address that he might have given thourgh pm's so we can locate him better. i posted this on one of the fb groups and it sounds like he has screwed over at least 10 people.

Add me to the list of victims.

Bought the two boxes he first put up for $1,000. Paid via Paypal FF.

After getting a tracking number I thought was real and trusting his good and extensive feedback, I bought the two new boxes he put up for another $1,000 via PPFF.

Now out $2,000 and nothing to show for it.  :tears:

I’m sorry but after all the scams and crap that have happened on this forum and elsewhere, people STILL pay FnF for high ticket items to sellers they haven’t dealt with previously or that they don’t know in person? That’s a big risk to take over 4% savings...

[WadeFillingame]

From what I can find out he has been responding to people that PP has flagged his account for excess F&F transactions and suspended it.  Nothing else that I can do from here.

Yup. It was a foolish decision.
Took the extensive feedback and belief in the good of people too far.

Painful lesson learned.

I was scammed using F&F in the last scam with smokingceegars. I was made whole by my credit union. They repaid me inside of 10 days. This may work for you as well. Good luck guys

[ChefBoyRG54]

based on feedback, looks like Firebender just sold HIM something a month ago
Guessing he still has his address if you ask

Its a start, what you do from there is up to you
