SCAM ALERT Goli0 is a scammer

[Eterry]

First...YES we ban them permanently as soon as fraud is shown to us. Our software can detect if a banned member uses the same IP address to try to open another account, I burned one last night for that.

Anyone with any sense should be scared of the postal inspectors office. These people have a huge budget and love ruining a dirtbags day. I've personally worked with them on several cases, it's unreal the lengths they go to to mess up a scammer.

I bought some unmentionable powder for a steal on an action site Dec 26. The business had a good review until recently, stating slow ship/no ship.
I paid for it Dec 28, no word from them. I got a msg from USP stating an order had been created but they didn't have the item from vendor. Jan 3 I sent them a msg asking for shipment.

Yesterday I sent a msg stating not shipping is a Federal offense punishable by USPS Postal Inspectors office. If the powder wasn't shipped in 24 hrs I'd file a complaint on them. See attached what I got in email this morning.

Always use the power of the postal inspectors, both as leverage and in fact if no response. If you paid for it via CC many have coverage for fraud.
Call the Postal Inspectors.

Can't ship powder through the post office!
You need to get your shippers straightened out!
Also a lot of businesses don't like to ship over the holidays.
One because there's not a lot of people at work in too because of all the packages that go out.

Actually there is also that the large population areas of course have more orders made, and the post office and other carriers in large population areas will hire "seasonal workers" which often pilfer packages, not to mention "Porch Piracy".

In this particular case, the OP did not go through the USPS, so it would be wire fraud, and there is so much wire fraud that investigations need the victim to lose more than a pre-set threshold, before anything will be done about it. The bag guys KNOW this, and stay under that threshold. In the first half of last year, while I was still a Police Detective, I handled several inquiries from outside agencies where the scammer was living (or at least took possession of the funds) in my jurisdiction, and got a little less than $1500 from the victim. WHY that amount? Because in Maryland the threshold for a felony theft by deception is...$1500.00.

We have mitigated a lot of the scamming that was done in the past, but it can't all be eliminated. Nothing is stopping a person who actually has a valuable black powder replica from following our guidelines, offering it for sale, and then simply pocketing the money. The worse thing that Moderators and the Admin can do is ban them. Not much of a "stick" to ward off ne'er-do-wells.

I never said USPS, they ship thru UPS. That's how most all powder is shipped. BUT, the US Postal service Inspectors have jurisdiction over ANY thing shipped. That includes USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc. I checked yesterday with UPS and they still hadn't received the order. Checking my email I'd bought the powder on Dec23, paid on the 26th. After two weeks and not one word from them I decided to up the ante.

And just mentioning them to a delinquent shipper will often get things moving. I know many have used this tactic before. I did it years ago and things got shipped the next day. I did it yesterday, the package was delivered to UPS today, so using that as leverage will work.

if i see the scam warning i always ignore their pm especially if they want to move it to email only

Makes perfect sense.

I will buy from folks here if they have significant post count and have sold a considerable amount of things here.

Some young folks in California found out the hard way that the laws recently got changed and "any theft was targeted" no matter how much was taken and ended up in the slam, crying the blues!!! Bout time!! Thinking a few eyes have been opened and folks FINALLY got tired of the B.S. Pay Back time.

I knew they would get tired of playing the fool, just didn't know how long we would have to wait. Funny how Trump coming out ON TOP changed some folks thinking. Finally had ENOUGH!!

no more its alright to steal up tp $1000.00 out there. that was the craziest thing i EVER heard.

NOW maybe the stores will start hiring REAL SECURITY?? Not just stand by lookers getting paid to do NOTHING.
Maybe if the would be thieves fell down face first going out the door with the stolen goods and broke an arm or two, things might have changed?
But with the laws favoring the bad guy over the store owners, folks couldn't do much to protect their goods. Everything locked up behind glass??? Good place NOT TO SHOP.

"Stovepiping" is a scam from the 1800's! Predates the internet and digital comms. There will ALWAYS be victims' and perps! How's that "education" working for you?

You sure did refer to postal inspectors an awful lot! Why don't you show us all where the United States postal inspectors have jurisdiction to go after another shipping corporations claims.
US postal inspectors will only get involved if it involves other crimes and their asked to.

And I got a good guess that says you bought some powder at a really good price and you bought it off one of the scam websites!

I know how powder gets shipped I know how firearms get shipped and I know how General commodities get shipped because I've been doing it for 35 years!
Come on tell us the name of the outfit show us a web link about this powder , cuz you got scammed!
