Re: WARNING: Do NOT buy from "Zimmy"

Unread post by ForgetUsCrowdKids777 »

What doesn't add up to me is why he would sell some things to people and everything goes smoothly then scam us. It makes no sense to me.

Do you think there's any chance of it not being a scam and us getting our stuff in the mail we paid for cuz I was REALLY looking forward to what I purchased :/

What i think he did/does is sometimes legitly sell an item to build up people's trust and get a good selling rep. But honestly, there is no chance of it not being a scam {down} I wanted to believe the same thing at first, that maybe he was just taking awhile to send, but that's simply just not the case :neutral: He "sold" an autographed emma watson card to me, but apparently he also "sold" that same card to multiple other people. And with the complete straight up LIE he said about me on paypal, it just further proves this guy's scum. I am truely sorry that he got you too, but the only thing to do now is spread the word about this guy

This was interesting to read and sorry for your losses guys but when you purchase from strangers on here you are basically just trusting in someone and taking your chances which is why i don't buy from people on here because i have purchased 2 autographs from this site and the first one was for a catherine zeta jones autograph for $20.00 and after i paid him for it he sold it to another person for more money and told me it wasnt for sale anymore but i found out he sold it to someone else after i paid but he did refund my money after about a week of emails but then when i mentioned on his thread about what happened and how he sold it to someone else after we made the deal and i paid he threatened me in a email saying if i didnt stop badmouthing him he would post my home address and email all over the place which was basically blackmail so i let it go because i had my money back at that time.My second purchase went smoothly with a good seller who lives in canada like me but i won't buy from people on here anymore its too risky. I guess this guy you guys bought from has decided to go down the path of crime and fraud which will catch up to him one day because what goes around comes around.

This is crazy, I'm so happy FanMail.biz did not Lock this post. I feel that people have to know whats going on.
I have seen his add on here about the Emma Card and I pasted it up. Im glade to know I did not take it seeing how I dont have PAYPAL I would have sent cash, And I would have been out my money.

Its sad that we cant trust everyone on this site, I feel that the autograph community should stick together and help each other out, Not take peoples money and run away.

As a seller on this site I make sure that everyone that buys and trades with me is aware of what Im doing to make sure they get there autographs safely.

Im very sad to lose a little trust on this site.

I have been on other sites that trade and they have a FEEDBACK section in the profiles of all users, Lets see if we can get that on this site. Im sure people would donate to the site if it means protection :)

Admin is not going to do anything about this...Hope all of you know that he couldnt care less about this site. Mods cant do anything but float around commenting like any other users..there no different whats soever. So the best thing is to buy from someone you know for a while on here and not some random guy who is selling an autograph.

I can totally understand what you are saying. It is so wrong that the person that created this site is not doing anything about this and will not. But you make a very good point people should only buy and trade from people they know well on FanMail.

Also people should trust more the people that have been on Fanmail.biz longer. Some people might make account get to 100 post in 3 days and then start scamming people. They might be on here for a month. People should look at the sellers post, reply's and date they became a user.

But it really comes down to you the buyer, If something is fishy "DONT GET IT"
