NEED HELP! Got Scammed!
Hey guys,
So i pretty much have realized i got scammed by a guy. It was not on a subaru forum, it was on a airsoft forum.
Basically the story is i paid for the gun back in August and still havent recieved the gun. he sent me numerous excuses why the gun wasnt sent yet and finally told me it was. Well i never got it and he has not responded to anything i have said to him or the claim.
So yes i have filed a paypal claim, about 3 days ago now. What more can i do, i dont joke around about this stuff and will take this to the next step. I wanted to post this is the local forum first so i dont get bombarded with reply. Serious replys only please i need information fast!
I am going into my bank tomorrow and see what i can do. I can supply more information if it is needed.
Thanks
Will

Duct tape a gansta grip on it and you may be able to ask $50 more than value. I found it to be so ridiculous I thought Bud Light needed to do one of those "American Hero" commercials on them. ****, I couldn't even sell real rifles the way a lot of these Simpson comicbook-type *******s sold their used airsoft rifles.
See what I mean? The resale value is so high that you don't even get the rifle in some cases!
But yeah, sucks man... Talk to your credit card company and give them the documentation from paypal regarding the transaction.

sounds good, the guy actually emailed me back tonight. i sent him a email that said.
Where is my gun? I have filed a claim, please respond with more information ASAP.
And his reply was.
You filed a complaint against me ill deal with it on there.
This guy is so weird, he called me a "young paden" or something like that. Not sure how you spell it but i believe its a star wars character. Its seriously ridiculous.

it refers to a young jedi in training, by the way.

So the guy finally decided to grow some ***** and email me back. He came up with another excuse. He said that he had a family member send it and they sent it to the wrong address. So im giving him until friday to send it otherwise im taking it to the next step.
Does anybody know if there is a time limit that you can dispute a charge? like after a certain number of days you cant do it anymore.
