Last year i made a trade with another NS user. It was about a month later and i still didn't receive my package from him. He said he had sent it but had no tracking number. About a week later he said the package was returned to him because the address must of fallen off. (If he sent it in the first place). So i waited for about another month and i text him and now he wont reply on NS or his phone. So i am pretty sure i have been offically scammed by this user

Just thought i would let NS know so you guys dont get burned.

What did you buy from him? Can you stop payment on your credit card / paypal?
if it's a credit card you can always dispute the charges.

Sorry for the bad luck.

I bought stickers from some kid and it literally took a year and a half to get them. Apparently he thought he sent them out... but later found my addressed envelope.

from looking at his reviews he seems pretty legit. i don't have any suggestions for you but I'm surprised that he ripped you off.

He's obviously avoiding the situation because he HAS been online since the scam, lol.

Nice try, noob. Couldn't resist coming onto NS again. Scumbag move if you ask me.

I meant noob as in he failed at pretending he didn't see the message /plausible deniability.

Hopefully you get this shit sorted OP, its kinda weird that someone that involved in the community would do something like that.

I don't understand how people can scam others. How do you live with yourself knowing that you're a scumbag thief?

Remember that thread sometime last year about how to get poles? Some guy just said "steal them during lunch". That just shows that, sadly, there are people like that on NS
