Now I feel fumed.I even sent him a sympathy PM for his bro.Now if I learn this is a sham,I will fly thousands of miles just to punch him in the face.

Nothing can legally be done. It's the sad reality of the situation. Court costs alone against him wouldn't be worth your time. Best to just be more careful next time!

It makes me sick he keeps getting away with it

Doesn't the loser of the court case have to pay the other's fees?

You have to include that in your claim. But regardless, that's only if you prove the case; and you still have to pay the few hundred dollars to even get started. No guarentee of ever getting that money back. It's very very sad that he's gotten away with so many cards, but now everyone is aware and, unless you have the proof and feel like traveling to Fresno/dropping more money on court costs, then litigation seems pointless.

I almost got scammed this time. The black plainswalkers were so tempting. What I don't understand is if he was scamming. Why he told me no. Weird he said he already had a trade pending on it so I wonder why he didn't just fabricate to get mine to

Enough people have said he stole from them, contact a California lawyer and file for "breach of contract" and provide all your messages and his name and address, you can sue to get your cards back or monetary value equalling them at time of trade.

It is a legit legal case if he said in writing on here yes to trade then you have a valid contract and he can be held to it.

I think you're all missing my point. Why would you waste MORE money over court costs? Money that will be well over the monetary value of the cards lost? In a perfect world, justice should be swift and hard-hitting. But the reality of it is, it's time-consuming and costly.

However, I'm totally for bagging this creep. If someone does end up suing him, more power to you.

Well do we actually have this guys name(real name)?... I mean he gave me a name when i sent him my end of the trade, but Im not sure if that name is his name or somebody elses.

DirtyMustachio

I'm sure there's some sort of yellow pages that has adress look ups

Those who have his address-----> http://s***senders.com/ . It's cheaper than court and more satisfying, that's all I am going to say.

The Untrustworthy Traders thread has been updated with known addresses for thieves. I would advise checking it before trades are sent. I'd also suggest that you be responsible with the information, and not do something dumb like stalk/threaten/menace someone by taking the law into your own hands.

Trading is done at your own risk. You now have the tools infront of you: trusted traders, untrustworthy traders, middle man service, trials section. Make the best of it. Good luck.
