Well, I think I might have been taken for a ride by The_Trader (aka Joseph Bartle), like many other BT members. I sent him the first half ($25 of $50) of a payment for 20 Black Library books on November 19, and have yet to receive anything from him yet. I've sent a few PM's, and have not heard anything back from them (the second PM I sent isn't showing up in my outbox yet). Given the number of complaints about this trader I can only conclude I'm another victim of his mail fraud scheme. I am currently taking action to recover my funds from Paypal, or my credit card if need be.

Here are the messages between Joseph Bartle and myself:

Hey, $50 shipped definitely works for me, how did you prefer to be paid? Also, I saw you only had 1 feedback, do you have more feedback on ebay or something? If not, are you OK with a half now, half on arrival situation with the payment? I hate to be too paranoid, but I've been burned a few times on here with sending money, so I hope you understand. Let me know and we can work things out, thanks!

Cool, thanks for being understanding. I just sent the first $25, and will send the second payment as soon as everything shows up. Do you have any guess at to how long it will take to ship them? Let me know, thanks!

Hey, the books haven't arrived yet. Do you have a tracking number or something so I can see where they're at? Let me know, thanks!

Jeff, go ahead and PM this info to Norseman.. he is collecting it, and probably has some suggestions for things you can do to help the cause..

You're definitely going to want to file a police report on this, as well. I think a few of the other guys who have done so said you can do it online, but I'm not sure. Ask Norseman for details on that, but definitely FOLLOW THROUGH.

Not doing so only sends these guys a message that they can do this whenever they want.

Yes, the Hull PD has an on-line crime report.
