Hi, I'm wondering about something that's becoming very popular on message boards that I go to.
I collect toys and action fugures and I'm reading more and more about people getting scammed by others that claim they have all these items for sale... they send the person a money order/western union and then never hear from the guy again... I'm gonna give you some links to two message boads that has a lot of useful info on two guys that continue to do this very thing.
First is a guy by the name of:
Terrance Hayslett from MEMPHIS, TN 38128, time and time agian he's come on message boards, boasting items he has for sale, and then after he gets the money, he runs... If you read through the info, you'll see that he's scammed a lot of people for a lot of money.. can these people do anything about it? I've read that people report him for mail fraud to the post office, but that's all I hear of it.. then he comes back for more... I'd like any input on this, so hopefully we can get this guy.
Here's an example of his original post of what he had for sale:

and

same posts and same items on two different message boards, only one person claimed to get the items.. but many people have claimed that he promised some of those tiems to them already.
My second example is a guy that frequents GI Joe message boards, he does the same, has a new name, then "sells" some items.. and then never ships them... in a couple of the links I'll post, he even comes back and taunts the people he ripped off and admits doing so:

in that link you'll also find these links , but I'll paste them here as well:

As you can see, he's been around and scammed plenty of people... so, just wondering what people can do about it. I've posted this message board in both cases but I dont see that anyone's posted here asking for help.
Thanks for the help, and hope we can get rid of these scam artists.
