o0SwishaHouse, where's my stuff? Trade gone bad?

[eshbums]

It's been over a week now since o0SwishaHouse received my shipment on a trade, and I haven't received any replies to my emails or PMs...so I'm hoping you answer a public message.

Please email or PM me the status of your end of the bargain. It's been well over a week since you got my package, and I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt, but my patience has run thin.

I've held off on giving negative feedback, just in case you had to travel for the holidays, but enough is enough - send your end of the trade, or send my stuff back.

last activity on the 16th. that fool just plain hasn't been online either. probably gone for thx givin week but he still should've updated u.

My previous thread was asking if I was being too paranoid that I hadn't had any contact (and leaving the other party's name out).

At this point, yeah, I'm thinking the trade has gone bad, and I'd like to either call o0SwishaHouse out and work out the rest of the trade and end it on a positive note, or warn other people if they have any pending trades if it turns out that he's trying to pull a fast one.

Any advice/help would be appreciated.

[Sephiroth_Masamune]

I have no idea. I was going to do a trade with him but i backed out of the deal before it wa too late. Now I am sorta glad I did. I dunno if the deal was too good to be true...but my mom wouldn't let me trade. Thank god for her then huh...would have been in the same boat.

[omegaweapon7]

i was gonna sell him my pro duo, we agreed he pay first with paypal, but then he said he spent all his paypal and wanted me to send first, thank god i canceled the deal then.

[SuprTnr2]

See if you can look him up on Anywho and get a phone #, talk to this guy and see what's up. Chances are he was just out of town for Thanksgiving, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. If nothing else, it sounds like it was a smallish deal, a couple of games at most. Unfrotunately, I know what it's liek to get burned, so make sure you have all his info and be ready to file mail fraud if you have to :X

[Sephiroth_Masamune]

yeah, truly...he did seem like a nice person to trade with. But everyone can seem nice. He might have just been out fo town like alot of people are at this time. Give it a bit more time.

It was kind of a big trade, and yeah, I've got all the conversations via PM and receipts for my mailing all set.

It seemed like he was making an effort to become part of the community, which is why I'm hoping that he was just out of town for the holidays and I don't have to go through all the effort of forcing the trade through....but it's been 11 days since he has logged on to CAG and 10 days since he got my stuff.

[Pookymeister]

I've been waiting 3 months for my stuff from a CAG =0

He said he was moving and would get back to me .... caught him on AIM once, he said he sent it out but would check on it - and havent heard back since. I could leave negative feedback, but it was only $17 and i dont think hes logged on here since september. Plus he did the last freepsps.com referall for me and got me my PSP, so i cant be too mad at him =]

meh
glad i never traded with this guy
seemed like a jerk anyways

He was pleasant enough to deal with, and I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but for him not to reply to many emails or even hop on CAG shortly after I PM'd him the tracking information is fishy.

He's under 18 (at least according to his profile), so getting a ph# might be tough, especially in an apartment building.

I hope it works out OK for you.:) Why do people feel the need to steal?:cry:

[mookiemeister]

I had a problem with a seller on another site a while ago. I paid immediately but didn't get the DVD after more than 3 weeks. About a month later, the seller finally replied to my email messages and told me she has been in Europe. She told me she told her housesitter to mail the DVD, but the other person didn't. When I complained to her why she didn't mail the DVD herself, she said she was in wheelchair.

So maybe something similar happened with the guy who is trading with you?

I'm hoping it's something like that - not necessarily the wheelchair thing - but if he's a student, maybe his family went somewhere for the entire week of Thanksgiving.

Hell, at this point, I'll settle for a creative excuse and confirmation of shipment.

[shrike4242]

We did have a problem with a CAG appearing to go MIA, with a personal crisis they had to deal with. They did manage to get things taken care of shipping-wise through another person, though they were MIA from CAG. Once they came back, everything worked out.

I'd like to believe such is going on around here, though from what you told me in PM's about the deal and the value of the deal, it might be a little hard to believe that. What we had discussed via PM's about your next step would be a good idea, as well as contacting the local police office about the issue and have them go pay him a visit on your behalf.

If he's coming on CAG via another ID, he's not being that obvious about it, since I've been keeping an eye out for him via other IP's/ID's.

Greatly appreciate the help. I've got certified letters for him and his parents set and ready to go.

I don't have a phone number for him, but I did find one for his apartment complex...good call on the police too, I'm sure that would help speed up the process.

Again, I'm hoping it's just an issue of having to travel for Thanksgiving, which is part of the reason I've hesitated leaving neg. feedback on here and heatware.

I hate to cry foul on someone else, due to the recent issues of the CAG I mentioned, though I think something's up here, and I hope I'm wrong.

[Sephiroth_Masamune]

I would wait...because yes he was pleasant enough...but do what you feel is best...a neg. can be replaced with a postive though can't it? ;)

well that's good....at least if you neg. ref him and he comes back it can be replaced...but I have no idea how big the trade was so I can't say much more about it than what I have said already....

It was a fairly big trade dollar wise, which is the reason I'm so torqued after 12 days of inactivity.

I've tried looking up a ph#, but nothing's panning out...it's an apartment complex, and I think I scared some woman with the same last name in his complex already. :( I forgot about the time difference, so I think I woke her up last week rambling about fraud. Whoops!

If anyone's in the Austin area, maybe shoot me a PM for a little help getting a phone number??

does mail fraud actually work? i had a guy rip me off a big amount on a different site, he stole my valk profile, lunar SSSC and ReZ, and another guy stole my Gitaroo-Man, all through online trading. I filed mail fraud, but nothing came of it. Is it because i live in canada and they lived in the us? or does it not work at all, or what? any help would be great.

sorry is this is the wrong place as well.

I hate to say it, because it doesn't help, but I could tell he was gonna try and scam Sephiroth_Masamune.

In Sephrioth's thread he said he had a PSP pending in from Swishahouse.

But then, Swishahouse made a new thread after this looking to trade his PSP for an iPod.

This was the same crap that happened to me over a year ago, when I was scammed.

Well that wasn't very nice of your part. If you had a suspicion it is always better to maybe slightly insult someone who means good then have someone loose valuable property just because you weren't 100% sure. You can always apologize politely if you are wrong but I doubt its as easy to recover something because although I only lost about $25 in fraud in all my trading online experience(300+ trades and buys from others) I never got that back.

if it were more than $17 i would probably be a bit more pissed off, but i wouldve paid $17 just for the referral to get the PSP anyway, so im cool.

He did request I send first...the reasoning was I didn't have any feedback yet (my only trade on here was with CAG1000 way before the feedback system was initiated) so it seemed fair.

Still no reply to my emails, and tomorrow is 2 weeks since his last contact. Unfortunately I think I am going to have to call fraud on this one and report him.

I just called the apartment complex he had me ship to, and the guy in the office said there wasn't anyone by that name in that apartment number.

After seeing mesthead's post - it's looking bad. I've reported him to the FBI this morning.

I talked to the postal inspector in Austin, and they recommended the investigation needs to start from my zip code, so now I get to call our postal inspector.

I'll feel bad (but only for a minute) if this girl at the address he gave is not involved in any way in his scams...but that's the only address I have. I coughed her info up to the FBI as well.

All of the sudden, I'm feeling a LOT better about insuring the package and keeping a record of the serial number off my iPod.

I'm sure the post office, and police, and feds won't give it to me (I've been busy calling around the past couple of days) but I'd really love to get a phone number for this dirtbag.

If he really is 17 like his profile says, at that age, my dad could have metted out a lot more justice than the system could.

wow this is very interesting now. plz update cuz i think this situation can help CAG-ers in this sort of situation.

again good luck eshbums.

[Will]

That address is definately one I could "pass by". You need to file theft with your local police/sheriff. Show them the proof of the deal, the proof of reciept, value of what you sent. If they are anywhere near a half-ass squad they should file theft in your state, call the austin pd and tell them whats going on, get his info or the info of whoever signed for it and then badda-bing. Since you have proof of shipment its not hard to do.

[shrike4242]

Uh, let's not post personal information about other CAGs in an open thread. :-s I removed the information in question.

I'm sure you wouldn't like the same thing done to you. Any other occurances of this, people will get banned over it, and I don't care who you are.

[eshbums]

Good point - sorry about that.

[Will]

If anyone else got jacked by this guy, hit me with a pm with your info, what you send, who signed for it or proof of them recieving. If you have the dc number, scan me the slip, if you have the sig slip, send a scan of that. Im waiting on a package from usps and that should be here within a couple of hours then Im going up there.

Boundries are that you don't post personal information, including names, in an open forum where anyone can get to it.

If information like names, addresses, phone numbers or email addresses need to be exchanged, do it in PM's. Don't do it in the public. I wouldn't want my personal info posted where anyone can see it, and I know others feel the same way. Do it in private, don't do it in public.

In the other fun thread of note about this type of situation (the kimsh0t thread), I put down the same rules.

I know how it feels to get ripped off and what a pain in the ass it is to get things done to recover. Anytime its close enough I have no prob dropping by to let someone know they owe someone or the cops will be the next option.

While Im at it, the female that answered the door let the last name slip of the mother that supposedly is on the lease. I did a search based on that last name and couldnt dig up a phone number for you. Either way the land lord knows whats up and he has no prob with me going by although it helped that I promised no trouble would be caused on my part.

Ive done this a few times before. Once was for a kid that was stealing sports cards. Agreed to send and wouldnt come through. The town he was from just happened to be a town I drove through 3 times a week for work. On the way home one day I talked to his mom and showed her a list of who he owed, what was owed etc etc and said that they were prepared to file theft if they didnt get whats owed or their stuff back. Within 1 wk everyone had their stuff. Alot of times kids pull this crap and parents never find out.

Captante-got your pm..np!


From here on out if he keeps giving people the run around, I highly suggest filing theft with your local authorities. Give them proof of the deal, proof of shipping, and proof of receipt. They should be able to take care of it from there. I know in Tx anything under 100.00 value they tend to take their time on dealing with but anything valued at over 100.00 usually gets good quick help. At least the few times Ive had to persue the matter. Hopefully he comes across with whats owed. I dont see his family emergency excuse being good for burning two people on the same deal.

[Will]

Also, Ill take payment for services rendered. Accepting pay pal, money order, 1hr with g/f or mom's, possibly gifts of heterosexual pornograpy-ie videos and magazines. No toy or clothing items please........

Hopefully that won't be required now, but I have the proof of delivery in hand & had already explored my options... as I said I'm giving him the benefit of a doubt, mainly because of the way this all seemed to happen at the same time, I've done a lot of trading & selling on Anandtech & have heard much stranger stories which turned out to be true, so you never know.

And oddly enough, I do have some spare softcore laying around! One of the perks of being a reviewer! It's hard to find a good hiding place with a 5 year old in the house, so maybe it would have a better life with you anyways (the porn, not the 5 year old). :)

I'm not going to call off anyone I reported this to until my stuff is back safe and sound.

Man this guy wasn't dumb at all. He built his feedback to an acceptable level where he could request a send first on trades. http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73432&page=1

If the site went back far enough, I'd link you to metroidkiller9. He was at one time the top trader on CAG and then decide to start ripping people off, if I remember correctly. I know it was someone with a ridiculously high rating, prior to the new rating system.

I've had similar experiences shipping to people with lots pf positive comments on Heatware.com too, never actually been burned, but waited up to a month to get paid by guys with like 75+ positives... after this one I don't think I'm going to ship first at all anymore.

[eshbums]

Shrike, thanks for your help in all of this...and to everyone else in the CAG community.

I've been on the site for a while now, just not a heavy poster, and it's good to know that people were so good to help out in a situation gone bad, be it pickle, who really stepped up, and all the positive support from everyone else.

It's not over yet, and I'll probably be really pissed for many hours reburning my CDs and loading the 'pod back up, but this definately gives me hope to maybe once again trade on the forums...just don't think I'm being a jackass if I don't offer to ship first. :)


Edit update: Ouch - just got the confirmation from the FBI complaint I filed. The information is in their system, and has been forwarded to Columbus and Austin authorities.

For his sake, I hope he hustles his ass up with shipping all this stuff back, I'm not calling off the dogs until it's resolved 100%.

See, that's what I don't understand in this type of situation.

Getting high enough feedback to have someone ship first is one thing, you do a few deals, and get yourself high enough that you can ask for it. Little time and little money investment.

Where you get to the point where you're in the 50's and up for feedback, you know how to do things in a trade/sale, why the heck would you let it go to heck like that? I know that people can have family emergencies, as well as other issues with real life getting in the way of doing things, though can people honestly say they can't scare up 10 minutes to get to email or on CAG (or wherever) to get emails/PM's to people and say what's going on? Is that really so hard? If you suddenly decide to scam when you have feedbacks like that, why did you even bother getting that high in the first place?

It's just one of those things that I, as the person that I am, can't understand why someone would do something like that. I guess I'm thinking too much of my fellow person. :wall:

The quicker we deal with these issues and the quicker they're dealt with, the better, since it's less work for everyone concerned.

eshbaums, glad I could help, and I hope this will be quickly resolved. A learning experience for everyone, and I'll be happy to do for St. Louis CAGs what Stink_Pickle did for you in Austin.

Here's hoping.

I haven't heard from Swisha since he was on the night of the 30th...so I really hope that he's working on FedExing everything back.

Pickle did a great thing, but he's the least official person headed over to his friend's house. There should be some uniforms involved now.

So, if you're reading this Swisha, I highly advice you hustle in getting all of the stuff back to the rightful owners. Like I mentioned before, I'm not calling anyone back to call off their investigations until my stuff is in my hands in the condition I sent it to you.

Wow, he's scammed people now? He was a decent trader when I traded with him many months ago.

Hopefully Swisha fulfills his part of the deal and returns everyone's stuff and avoids visits from the FBI. Good luck to those awaiting their stuff. And SP's intervening was very cool of him.

[eshbums]

Got a PM last night from Swisha. Supposedly his brother mailed it back to me, but doesn't have a tracking number.

Hmm...I asked for FedEx 2 day with signature required, he replies with USPS and no tracking.

Sounds to me like bullshat.

[mesthead21]

How stupid can you get. I've already told him like 3 or 4 times that I have alerted the police, postal inspectors and FBI about him scamming people out of hundreds of dollars, and he has his brother mail the stuff off without providing any tracking information??

If nothing else, this has taught me two things:
1) Get a valid phone number before trading
2) Send a brief IQ test to potential traders, just to make sure they're don't suffer from swisha syndrome.

Not gonna happen. The piece of paper I gave to whoever answered the door has esh's shipping info. If he starts playing games I say screw him and just go to the police. Mail fraud and felony theft over state lines will make him think twice when he goes to jail and becomes the screw-ee vs being the screw-er.

:O, you went to swisha's house, that's so funny.

What was it like?

Slight update - I still don't have my stuff.

Swisha was on Friday and said his brother was mailing it, but he never gave me a tracking number (sounds a lot like BS to me).

I think the bitch had his chance, THATS RIGHT I SAID BITCH cause thats the kind of person he is, and you should just file theft with your local police and have them contact austin and git r' done. This chump had ample opp to come through and not become a jail house bitch but apparently he'd rather mingle with the ladies in cell block D.

Actually, if you still have my contact info - maybe swing it by and have the mom or daughter call me so I can get Swisha's info.

Yes, I am working with the post office and police, and currently they're the only address I have - so if they want out of the loop, they should probably give me a call. I'd be more than happy to sic the authorities directly on this moron instead of involving them.

[Will]

The info you had given me for him is the one you need to go after. Thats where it was accepted. You have the name of the person that signed and the person on the lease is just as liable. You dont really need his info. He does live there but he's not 18 like the girl told me he was.

[Will]

Sorry, im a firm believer in giving someone 1 shot to come through after trying to rip you off. If they dont even make the slightest attempt, Id say nail them and nail them hard. They deserve every bit of it.

[eshbums]

You know, I've been trying to not drag Swisha's name up in this thread, but I'm sick of the bullshit at this point. I'm done trying to contact him, that's what the police are for. Fuck 'em.

If anyone has any inkling of trading with this dumbass, believing some bullshit story about some emergency in Mexico - think again.

-He specifically told me when I was getting ready to ship my iPod that he had the PSP boxed and ready to go, just waiting for my package to arrive, yet mysteriously, it was dunked in water while he was in Mexico for this emergency. Rating: bullshit

-The very day that Pickle went to his friend's house, oh miracle of miracles, he's back from his Mexican emergency, but his internet access was shut off while he was gone. Rating: bullshit

-He never got the iPod, his brother had it, and mailed it to me last Friday, oddly enough, he didn't have a tracking number, just a receipt. Rating: bullshit

So screw him. I'm siccing the cops on him. If he likes music that much, I'm sure he can play a whole lot of skin flute in the big house.

[Captante]

Just an update for all concerned... I still don't have my stuff either & my patience is also about worn out, if I don't receive my package by the end of tomorrow then time is expired & I'll be filing a police report myself.

[Will]

Let him play his games. When the cops come knocking on that apt door with a report of theft as well as the person that signed for eventually accepting stolen property, this shit will hit the fan and Ill be in the parking lot taking pictures and laughing my ass off. i wouldnt be suprised if your ipods were sold or pawn'd off.

[Will]

If this guy ripped you off, if you can give me all the info I need to show they recieved, who signed etc etc. I can take that info to the apt manager and let him know whats going on and warn him about all 3 of you guys filing police reports and having the apt complex deal with cops showing up. Also need your names, address info and phone numbers.

I dont think he'll get evicted but filing the theft and causing probs for the person thats on the lease can get them in trouble as well as with the USPS for signing for the stuff and helping him steal.

[eshbums]

Well, I got most of my stuff back yesterday.

The iPod is home safe and sound now, less a few accessories.

This thing was definately used though. I shipped it in the original box, which was cherry, now it's ripped down the back, like whoever was trying to open it was too fucking stupid to figure out a hinge.

The hard case and OEM USB cable are missing.

The hard drive was wiped. Not just the music was erased, but everything. I had to reformat it last night.

The 'pod itself was covered in smudges and fingerprints.

It was shipped Priority mail, no insurance, no DC.

o0SwishaHouse final score for the trade: F- with points additionally deducted for being not only a thief and a liar, but a fucking moron as well.

[Captante]

Good to hear it at least showed up... if your I-pod was beat up though I hate to think what condition my video card will be in if/when it gets to me... I'll post an update.

It's working fine now, but it was filthy when I got it, and I'm still missing some accessories (add a cig lighter adapter to the list above).

I'm not cancelling my FBI complaint until this is resolved, and I would advice getting the authorities involved on your end as well.

Besides having to reload all the music on here, and still chasing this stupid bastard down for the rest of my stuff, I'm pissed that I had resolved myself to give up the iPod for a PSP. Now I'll have to go out and buy one instead of swapping.

Bastard.

Be sure to update his heatware profile as well - other potential scam-ees need to be aware of how he operates.

He's not coming into here, as I barred him from the trading forum, though it doesn't prevent him from posting elsewhere and PMing.

[eshbums]

No music on it when I shipped it to him. I reformatted the drive so it was just like day one right out of the box.

When I got it back, there was absolutely nothing on the drive, no OS or anything. Putting this together with the general condition of everything else, it looks like whoever had it this whole time used it, got it all messy, and then tried to wipe out the music before shipping it, but hosed up the process and wiped the whole drive instead.

Be evil, or be stupid, don't be both.

[Will]

Ive got mestheads info and stuff and he showed me a scan, i printed that out and another paper with his info and a read out of the usps site saying his package was accepted and all that good stuff. If captante wants to give me the same stuff Ill drop his info off too. I found the substation of the USPS that delivers to that apt complex and will let them know whats going on as well as dropping off copies to the apt complex manager to let him know the games being played from his complex as well as the jerkoff and his family itself to let them know the games are doing being played from our standpoint and that since he wants to choke his chicken on the situation the cops are next.

[shrike4242]

Be evil, or be stupid, don't be both.
Some people can't help being both, it's in their genetics, being first generation in their family to be walking upright.

Thanks & don't worry, I'll do everything I can to get my stuff back & even if I can't, I'll still do my best to make life very uncomfortable for this jerk, I filed a complaint with the USPS & the FBI yesterday & am heading over to my local PD today & from what I'm told multiple complaints of this sort of thing get a lot more attention then a single one does.
Also let me say again that its good to see the support given to members here on CAG, the only reason I joined was to try & follow up on Swishahouse because he used his positive comments here to convince me to ship first.

[Captante]

FBI USPS and Police reports all filed, plus it turns out somone other then the addressee signed for the package so I may be able to file a claim for the insurance I put on the package, but then the mail carrier would be on the hook for the money so hopefully this jerk will come to his senses & send my stuff back before he really gets screwed.

[Redeema]

What a chump! Thank goodness a lot of this has been worked out, and thank goodness nothing happened to Stink Pickle who did a heck of a job getting esh his stuff back (well most of it anyway) it's a bad break and I hope it doesn't sour you on trading here anymore, but I'll definitely think twice about who I trade with. I hope this guy gets what he deserves a whole lot of trouble from the authorities, but if he's under 18 then the unfortunate part is that he won't get much time at all, so hopefully he's old enough to get at least some time locked up where he can spend time reading books and getting "learn-ed". Maybe that would teach him not to screw with CAG's because the only thing worse than a Cheapassgamer, is a Madassgamer!

I knew something seemed fishy when he wanted an Ipod for his PSP, considering I just sold him a 512 card and Metal Gear Ac!d. Great to see everything worked out, I'd love to pull a Stink Pickle and go to somebody's house demanding justice but with my luck I'd get shot.

[Captante]

Today I got my Radeon 9800 Pro video card back, just by strange coincidence it was shipped the day after the Pickles last visit to Swishahouse, however he failed to return my 256mb dimm & the DVI to VGA adapter that I sent him ... since I firmly believe that without Stink-Pickles intervention here, nobody would have gotten anything back at all, this scumbag doesn't deserve a bit of slack from anyone.. my complaints with the FBI & USPS are staying in effect, as are my negative comments here & on Heatware.

Have a great holiday everyone & thanks for the support... also I feel special recognition should go out to Stink-Pickle for being a great guy! :applause: :applause: :applause:

Captante and Eshbums, if youre happy with what you have cool. If you want 100% satisfaction lmk and Ill be more than happy to make that phone call. Now that we are almost done here Ill say this-


Monday night when I went back by the apt where the stuff was sent, I had found out that he doesnt even live there. Not only does he not live there, but not even in austin. Wether it was a sister or other family, she ended up being pretty pissed when I handed copies of 3 people sending stuff to that address and it being accepted and signed for. I politely explained that charges are being filed and since he doesnt live there, that means its all gonna come down on her, especially with him being a minor. As she was looking at the papers etc etc, I casually asked how the "family emergency" down in Mexico turned out. She looked up at me like I was nuts. When I told her that people were given that excuse by him as to why stuff wasnt sent, she got a little more mad. I also told her that the eventual reason for not shipping period was that he claimed he dropped the psp in water while down in Mexico. After another polite convo with her, she gave me the ph# to where he lives.

So I ask again if you want 100% satisfaction, Ive got his home ph# and have no issue calling.

I have to agree that 100% satisfaction would be nice, the RAM he failed to return was only worth about $20 & I have a dozen DVI to VGA adapters sitting in a box so the money isn't the point to me anymore, its the principle of the thing. I'll be sending him a certified letter on Monday explaining this & that charges won't be dropped until he returns everything he was sent.

Good luck with the items guys.

Sweet got all my stuff back. Thanks for all the help guys. I really enjoying bringing scammers down. If anyone sends stuff to Arizona and gets screwed over i would be more than willing to help you get your stuff back. Pay it forward everyone. Thanks all.

NOICE! Overall we went 3 for 3...minus a few accessories. If you three guys can pm me again exactly what he didnt send back, Ill make a phone call or even go back by again tomorrow since Ill be in the area.

Since you all have your items back (minus the occasional accessory or two), g'riddance to Swisha, and we're closed here.
