To all Forum Members;
This is just an alert that I'm posting here to make you aware of doing any sort of business with the Member by name of "LaCROSSE"
A few months ago, I sold him an expensive, in new condition, with less than a 1/2 hr. use, ARIES LASER. I tried to be a nice guy & let him have the laser after a down payment, & a set payment plan. (I know, stupid of me). Suffice it to say that after sending him the laser, I got one more PM from him telling me he had some financial trouble & couldn't make the next payment. That was 3 months ago, & despite sending numerous PMs & even calling his home, I haven't been able to reach him to discuss this. However, I HAVE been watching for him to make another post, & he finally did.

He just made a post that he's interested in buying the ARIES LASER that is up for sale in the B,S,&T Section of the Forum. If he has the $$$ to buy that laser, why doesn't he pay me the $300.00 + that he owes me 1st. As most of you know already, I'm disabled & have to live on a tiny disability income. Buying lasers does not come easy for me, & if I sell one, it's usually 'cause I REALLY NEED the $$$. By not paying me what he owes me, LaCrosse has literally taken the food/medicine out of my families mouths. Then he has the nerve to post that he's interested in buying yet ANOTHER ARIES LASER from another Member while still owing me. (he must have REALLY liked the ARIES he got from me)!!!!

So PLEASE BEWARE of doing ANY business with the Member known as LaCrosse, unless it's OK with you to wait 3 + months (if ever) to get paid for what you're selling to him. If anyone has any questions regarding this issue, I'd be more than happy to discuss them with you via PM. I feel that this post alone is enough publicity for this problem, & anything else can be talked over by PM or Email. My Email is;
fusedpulse@yahoo.com Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope it prevents someone else from being taken like I was. Nice guys finish last, SADLY !!!!!!! phoenix77 / rob

That really sucks. Sounds like he really scammed you. He got what he wanted then decided to just steal it, by not paying you the rest.
3 months is to long. Even if he does decide to pay you now, it will only be because you posted this and dirtied his name.

That thread got deleted because it was a sales thread for something else, but I think Rob has the details well summed up here.

@Rob, sorry to hear about this, hope you can get your money back

Rob, very sorry to hear that you got scammed. I'll see what info I can find on this guy and do all I can to help you get your money from him. If he does not come through, he will banned for life from this forum. Scamming will NOT ever be tolerated on these boards. I have personalty been scammed twice on this forum, man it pisses me off every time I hear about someone getting ripped off.



@lasersbee Sorry, I deleted the other thread per OP request, didn't know it had critical info in it. I have restored it and closed it.

Thanks for all your support & detective work guys. That missing cash caused checks to bounce, & all sorts of other crap to happen. I had to pay $29.00 for each bounced check 'cause of him. (over $100.00 worth of NSF fees) :scowl:

Rob, why don't you post his adress right here and ask around if anybody is living near this idiot, to pay him a little eye-opening visit?

This is just too sad.

Disability? I do not know anything about it but it just makes the situation even worse.

Rob could get into trouble for that, but he could do what romeo02045 almost had to do with you-know-who and send a debt collector after him, they're usually incredibly annoying, so they're perfect!
