oh, and to Dman.
accually, my codex has someone else's name written in it also.
i bought it used from my rouge trader.
i don't think that's a biggie.
oh, and once i get home, i'll post his address, although, the problem is, i did not make the check out to "Simone daily" like the rest of you.
Tech9 told me to make the check out to Maximillian Martinez.
but, none the less, i'll post his address.

sorry for the triple post, but, i've just called the bank, and they said they will not stop a cashier's check.
i sent a cashier's check to tech9, which means, there is no way i can get a refund, unless i convince this guy to give me what i want.
my next step is to get this guy's phone number, and give him a call to see what's up.
i'll mention who i am, what i want, and might slip in that my father is a lawyer, so i'm not afraid to take legal action.
then i'll ask for his side of the story, to see what he has to say.
first i have to get his number, then wait a little, since california is four hours behind Pensylvania.
i hope to work this all out...
thanks for your help guys.

Best of luck...keep us informed. If it is a case of a problem I would like to see about getting the black mark removed from my feedback.

well I paid via paypal, and I bought:

Regular marine codex
Templar codex
High Marshel Helbrect
and the Space Marine Veteran Squad box

So, I hope no one else bought that stuff.

I also live in PA, so I will also have a few problems trying to get my stuff.

I have his address, still on the package which contained 1/2 of the high elf army I bought. PM me if any of you need it. I would like to join others to file charges on him as it's been 40 days since I paid for the army.

JudgeDoug, i'd like to see the address he sent it from, to see if it was the same that i sent my money to, since it seems like you've sent your money to "Simone Daily", while i've sent my money to "Maximillian Martinez".
PM it maybe?

I think it's important to be a man of my word. I emailed him yesterday, and said that I would give him until Friday to contact me. I am basically an optimist, so I am optimistic that he will contact me by Friday, and we will discuss this situation like reasonable adult human beings.

At 12:01am Saturday morning, I drop on his neck like the f-ing Sword of Damocles. I've got 1) nothing but time; and 2) friends in law school who are people that know people.

I will get my money or my models in the next 30 days. I promise you that.

well, hopefully if we do this as a join-effort, we'll be able to bring him down, if he doesn't send us the models that we paid for/traded for.
my father, who is a lawyer, was talking to me, and gave me some pretty good ideas about how to get my stuff back.
hopefully he'll respond to all of us, explaining himself.

May want to contact paypal and tell them that the account Tech9 is using is being used for fraud.

LongBeard · Post by **LongBeard** » Tue Apr 18, 2006 11:01 pm

i don't know anything about paypal, since i have never used it.
but, that's a good idea.

LongBeard · Post by **LongBeard** » Wed Apr 19, 2006 12:30 am

well.
i did some searching.
i found "max martinez" here.
viewtopic.php?t=74
from the list of bad traders.
first one on the list.
how could i have missed that?
i guess he's under the alias of Simone Daily.
Tech9 told me to make his check out to Maximillian Martinez.
oh, i feel so terrible.
well, now that we know he has a history of bad trades, we now have to take action.
any ideas?
i'm getting all my information against him, hopefully everyone else that made deals with him will do the same.

*sigh*

Simone Max Daily Martinez, I assume you're still reading posts here. I will make this very simple: You have until midnight Friday, that's 11:59:59pm Eastern Daylight Time, to settle your transactions and provide the models you have accepted money for.

Failure to do so will result in immediate and permanent ban from Bartertown as well as a sticky being made for the Bad Trader forum. You saw what happened when Jason Ticknor came back; do you really want that much bad publicity?

Below is the complete text from an email I sent to Longbeard... it is appropriate for anyone who finds himself (or herself LOL) in a situation like his... or even remotely close.
The invitation at the end is open to anyone reading this. I'll be glad to help.

Hi.
I'm Eric, magickalmemories on BTown.
I'm in banking as a career.
If you have not done this already, CALL YOUR BANK'S 1-800 customer service # -RIGHT NOW.
Tell them you need to put a stop payment on a check.
They will need to know the check #, $ amount and, likely, name it was payable to.
If the 800# doesn't want to do that or you (some banks require it in person), explain the situation to them and tell them it is an emergency.
Depending on what bank you use, what bank he uses & where he cashed your check, it may NOT be too late.
It may cost up to $30 (like you say, though... better than $110.
You will also need to watch your account carefully for the next couple months... If your bank offers online banking, sign up for it.
If you sent him a personal check, he had access to your account number and personal information. Once a scammer, always a scammer, IMO. He could, potentially, use that information to make fraudulent purchases.
Your bank has many tools available to deter fraud. Ask them for advice and help. If they are any good, they will bend over backwards to assist you.
Good luck, and feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Eric
