Lower rating? You ship first.
Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.
To get some humor out of life and pass it on to other folk.
I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Your new title needs to be "THE MEGAPHONE."

ACTION REQUIRED!!!!
Could everyone that filed a police report please forward me the number. I want to make another call to the UK Police and check on what has happened. I would like to have all the information at my finger tips for the discussion.

Re: Taking action on the-trader - Involved Parties Discussion
Just out of curiosity, are you in contact with them via email at all? Are they aware of this thread and our forums in general?

Well, if you'd stop saying such awesome things that needed emphasizing, due to their brialliance (Yes. I'm serious), I wouldn't feel the need to shout them from the rooftops. LOL

In this or a different thread, SOMEONE said that they did lead the police here and direct them to this thread (or whatever thread it was that they posted the message in). So, they are aware of BTown and the concerted effort that is being made.insidius wrote:Just out of curiosity, are you in contact with them via email at all?

Always ship with delivery confirmation, I do the same.
Rating of less than 100 (or with no known traders)? You ship first (for trades and purchases), otherwise, we can ship simultaneously.
YOU must ship your package; not your wife, friend, lover, cousin, or dog. If you are not able to ship packages yourself, then please don't work out a deal with me.

Re: Taking action on the-trader - Involved Parties Discussion
I just want to make sure that everyone that has sent this guy money needs to file complaints at the beginning of this thread. This will take time. Make no mistake, this guy is still out there and will do this again. Also, for the people watching this on the sidelines, please review Btown's accepted trade practices. I was taken by not following these procedures because I got careless and wanted the item badly. Never again...so in your own best interests check them out...

Happy New Year and Here is to smarter trading!!!

Re: Taking action on the-trader - Involved Parties Discussion
Well, Mike. I'm glad to see that you've come out better for this whole fiasco in ONE WAY, if not financially.
It's a crappy way to learn a lesson.
FWIW, though, guys... Let's make sure we keep the thread ON TOPIC.
It's not a big deal that Mike posted that in here... I just want to be certain that the thread doesn't go off on a tangent with people responding to him.
Thanks.

Re: Taking action on the-trader - Involved Parties Discussion
Important info
Guys I am drafting a letter for Mrs. Bartle. We are having someone stop by thier house and hand deliver it to her. I will be including all the Real names of the people effected and how much Joesph has stolen from us. I will be including the name of my lawyer and notify her of our intention to sue her and joesph for the funds stolen from us. I will be cordial and polite but will inform her of the facts and how to get ahold of me and how she can bring a quick resolution to this problem.
If anyone has any ideas or requests please get ahold of me.
If you were taken in by the_trader and you havent given me your real name yet please send me a PM with your name and how much you have lost.
