Bad business with tonyt!!!

[Livinloud]

i did find it slightly odd that a fellow aussie won out of the many posts by international members

To ship it to me he would need my personal address and he knew i was 14/515 and don't pretend that...

Get a grip kid, I'm fully aware there are predators on the internet, predators rarely if ever groom in a "public" place, they prefer to keep their vile crap in dark places where people don't notice them (or somebody like me will usually turn up on their doorstep with 2 gallons of jet fuel, a lighter and a smile)

Based on your logic every competition that is ever run that requires personal details must be run by predatory deviants, hell, purchases that are made online require personal details so using the same logic all online sales to minors / directed at minors must be from peadophillic animals.

From a more factual view, scammers are white collar criminals, they rarely if ever cross over to commit acts against the person. Nonces rarely commit simple scams as they run the risk of being exposed for their more serious crimes.

One thing you do need to be careful about, voicing an opinion that somebody "May" or "May not" have comited a crime against you is far far different to making public suggestions or accusations toward their other activity. Don't think that Libel is protected speech, it isn't.

I'm not accusing anyone, just stating that that could be an option. That is all i am going to say in our debate.

 

[Spooky]

just stating that that could be an option

By the same option, you could be a 55 year old hairy arse builder pretending to be 14 so you can pick up little boys?

Leaping from "Scammer" to "potential kiddy fiddler" is one hell of a jump and one that discredits the forums in general as well as you.

Yeah... let's keep the accusations in check.

Calling him a scammer is one thing, leaping to other conclusions is an entirely different story.

It's only been a few days; let's see how things shake out.

tonyt seemed cool to me too, but the best scamers would now wouldn't they? hope it works out.

 

[hwang21]

Could be. He wanted to buy a WL expanded lens kit off of me, offered PP at first then said he was sick, he could trade a couple pen lasers... insisted to send them at the same time, so I said just send cash... no response since then. Agreed^ hope it works out for you all

 

[dubious speculation]

I'm so sorry to hear this Sixtee9 Tonyt came across as a great guy in general but I guess not, but as many people said its only been a few days so lets hope for the best,

We should also not jump to conclusions stating that he's a pedophile, Laik I'm not saying you were directly accusing him of this but you've gotta be careful of how lossely you use the term otherwise people could make the wrong conclusions

Hope all this comes out for the better in the end

best regards, will

Okay I understand, I am sorry.

 

[InfinitusEquitas]

Wow, I'm sorry for your troubles SixTee9. Tony really didn't come across as a scammer.

Hopefully he is just away unexpectedly, and things will resolve.

 

[Laik]

I think his real name is Anthony Ryan... :thinking:

 

[Blaster]

Okay I understand, I am sorry.

When i was with him doing my deal he was talking about the fact he had come over from .Sydney ( to Adelaide) and about his girlfriend,which he seemed pretty genuine about

 

[Laik]

Yeah he just moved into a new house apparently as well. I think his misses is genuine, like i said, i'm sorry for what i said.

 

[Blaster]

I do hope he sorts all this out and if he does by all means an apology will be coming ,at the moment its not looking good with the above issues we have had and one of them dating back two months ago .Seems a really nice guy, but i did get sold a dud laser at top dollar price i had to fix( worked on low power but not high) he said it was the low battery it wasn't and those WL S3 arctics don't come apart easy at all, there where a few little issues that weren't true but nothing to get really annoyed about

 

[Laik]

If anyone needs to chat with Anthony his skype name is mrtonyt.

 

[EpicHam]

Well thats a shame , but the way I see it .
We need a middleman for this type of trade.

Both parties should send their goods to a trusted member of the forum , preferably far away from the customs nazi and not too expensive in shipping.

Then the middleman will sort out the trade. Once both of the items has been received.

That way it'll be MUCH more secure.
