URGENT- POTENTIAL SCAMMER - Any info for USER - Dongtheimpailer
 
Hi,

I recently contacted ASC user ' dongtheimpaler ' in regards to a MP7 that he had posted for sale in the forums. I made him a deal and I obtained his phone number as a contact information and sent him EMT thereafter.

His ASC: https://airsoftcanada.com/member.php?u=68702

However, I allowed him 2-3 days since it was the weekend when he suddenly stopped replying to my messages for follow up information regards to tracking number/etc. I looked around and it appears that another ASC user also is in this same situation. I sent text messages/called the number but the phone is off and it goes straight into voicemail. I can see his activity going onto ASC and at times he is logged in 'viewing private messages' and does not respond

http://airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=220476

Specifically this post was the sale thread. I paid to purchase both of the MP7 and I contacted another user who also claimed that they had paid for one of the MP7. Since he posted that there only were 2, It appears to me that something must be wrong.

I was foolish for only taking down his phone and email thinking that is sufficient contact information. I should have asked for ID/address, however, for many normal ASC transactions I have felt that was excessive, but now I see the rationale behind it. I foolishly believed that his trade rating provided a safe trade so I trusted it and sent the EMT.

IF ANYBODY HAS ANY INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO THIS USER PLEASE REPLY TO THREAD OR PM ME

Thank you

I am in the same boat as I had attempted to purchase one of his TM MP7, another member known to me seems to be having the same issue with an attempted purchase of a TM G18C.

Any leads from anyone who has met him in real life or who age verified him would be greatly appreciated.

manchovie December 17th, 2019 23:15

Same. Fingers crossed he can be found.

pkindos December 17th, 2019 23:32

Same thing happend to me.
 
He literally took our money and hasn’t responded. This is ridiculous.

Kremator December 17th, 2019 23:54

ASC pretty lit these days

pkindos December 18th, 2019 00:00

Everybody file a police report? I’m going to tomorrow

ThunderCactus December 18th, 2019 01:30

He thinks barrel length affects performance. I already hate him.

I met him a few years back when he spent some time in Montreal. He was a nice guy and we had a lot of fun with him at our target shooting nights. I'll try to get in touch with other local players that seemed to know him well.

damage December 18th, 2019 10:54

Damn. I paid for 2 of the plate carrier he was selling. LBT 6094a MAS Grey and LBT 6094a Multicam. Sent funds through emt Dec 14 or 15th.

pkindos December 18th, 2019 11:16

Thanks Drakker. I don’t care how nice he was. He is clearly scum and still thousands from ppl and still checks his messages daily. Thanks so much for the support.

damage December 18th, 2019 11:23

I almost dropped money on the PTW he was selling too.

damage December 18th, 2019 11:30

He said he lives in Edmonton Alta.

pkindos December 18th, 2019 11:33

Just reported him to the fraud department and police
 
Gave them all the info we all had. Hopefully they can do something. I can’t believe this happens. It really makes me not want to buy anything on here that isn’t local and really makes me want to leave the sport. It’s really frustrating.

YIKES. Don't let this bad apple ruin your hobby!

I agree that local deals are the easiest. You can see it, handle it and inspect it before buying. When doing deals abroad, if I see even one negative rating I would steer clear.

Thank you for the warning. I too was about to purchase his TM MP7 thankfully the deal did not happen. I hope this gets resolved!
