This operation is a fraud!!

He tried to sell some other items to a friend of mine. I have informed the authorities. They tell me sorry about my luck

That was an expensive $6000 lesson. Hope the guy dies in hell.

Geez Peter, I'm sorry to hear this happening to you! I can't stand people who intentionally rip-off other people.
Do you have any info on this idiot you can post here?

Hi Peter
I am real sorry to hear about your plight! I can't even imagine losing that much. The vast majority of people in our hobby are good. But, this fellow is evil. Is there anything we can do? Perhaps spread the word about this con artist? Several of us on here do deal with hobby people all around the globe. Just a thought.

Frank

I am very sorry to hear what has happened. I know for many, our hobby dollar is limited and to lose it to a scam artist really hurts. You have always been a good customer so I mentioned your plight to ALL the manufacturers that I deal with. If there is anything we can help you out on I am sure that the manufacturers would come on board to give you a substantial price break.

Kindest Regards
