SOLD.

[Shaank0]

Guys please use caution with aced11, i believe this guy is an impostor,  
I posted on the WTB forum for some Nippon modus 3 shafts

this member contacted me said he had a set from a nationwide player he knew and wasn't picky on price. I asked for pictures to see condition and he sends me a picture of a stock photo some golf website posted ( i googled the image name after I found it suspicious)
this was the image or so called picture:


I confronted him and told him this was a picture of athe N.S pro prototypes and although similar are not the modus3's
He then pm'd me with :

"I uploaded the wrong picture LOL.

Have a folder with all the my Nippon shaft pics in them.. including images from the website. "


Then he deleted the topic in the messaging system with no further contact.
Look at this members past posting in the BST he has always signed with the signature "Dewey"  which was clearly not present in any of my private msg's and in any posting  in this BST post.

I hate to make a claim of this magnitude with out the utmost certainty but i am pretty damn sure this is a compromised account.

[albatrosser]

it's pretty common for sellers to remove the pics when an item is sold.

[albatrosser]

you have multiple names??

"spalding(flopshotboy)"   and   "aced11"   are the same person??

I was second in line- the seller kept me updated with the other buyer, unfortunately he won.

I would have bought the putter in an instance.

I guess the price was too good..................

Definitely something strange with this thread.  Should probly notify the mods about this.

[albatrosser]

been watching this one... strangely, when "aced11" is on, "Spalding(Flopshotboy)"  never is.

Already notified a mod.

And to the poster who said "guess the price was too good....."    um, yeah.... never a good sign.

[gone_golfing]

Weird . Weird . Weird.

[gone_golfing]

Need to update my post. If it's too good to be true...usually it's NOT GOOD nor TRUE.

Note to buyers: never paypal personal or money owing...Paypal will not help you in these situations to get your money back.I haven't learnt the hard way but almost did minus the $300 bucks.

[coach_harris1]

I notified a mod also.  1 person using 2 screen names???  Sounds like a way to help cover up a scam.  Hope the buyer lets us know how this turns out.  Also,  he deletes the pics but does nothing to the rest of his add.  Hmmmmmmmm.......

[Sakman]

Personal Payment? Have you read the rules at the top of this forum?

[dennis4190]

I am the buyer, I will let you know how this plays out

Irrelevant. Not my board and not my rules.

15. No Advertising of "Gifting" or other means to circumvent payment fees.

Exactly what I thought would happen after I posted the above comment about his add.  He deleted the rest of the add.  That's classic.  C'mon man!

Please do.  Also,  DEMAND THAT HE ADD DELIVERY CONFIRMATION OF SOME KIND.  It costs $0.70 at the post office and will help you avoid the "It got lost in the mail" excuse.  I've seen this happen many times.

please tell all of us that you didn't use paypal "gifted" ???

and to "aced11".... just recently there was an incident with a well "respected" (by most) member of this board... he had WAYYYYY more feedback than you.  "Good guys gone Bad, Part 2".

[drpino]

Unfortunately BOTH the aced11 and Spalding(Flopshotboy) accounts are NOT legitimate, this BST ad is fraudulent and any buyers have been scammed.  

I suggest any buyers put stop payments on bank or credit card charges, file a claim/dispute with PP, and take any other necessary steps to recover funds sent.  

Both accounts have been suspended until we can sort this out.

[drpino]

Original listing before scammer deleted it:

It's really hard to believe that some people wake up in the morning and wonder how many people they can screw that day. In the age of electronics, I guess they can hide behind their computers and never get caught. I will get my money back and I hope this guy gets what he has coming to him someday, as I truly believe, what goes around, comes around!!

[branover1]

Wow, I'm so glad I didn't buy this this morning. I was the apparently the first one to pm aced11 and when I asked for his Paypal to send payment he asked it to be sent as "personal payment". I thought that was strange and pm'd Drpino about it. I'm happy to see this matter was taken care of. Great work drpino and thanks for your help today.

[the700level]

wow i'm glad i checked this out - i've been going back and forth with aced11 about MP52's.  His first pictures were great, then the second batch were a little shaky, they were small and seemed like they were pulled from the net.

We agreed on a price, and he told me to "mass payment" the money to him via paypal.  When someone tells me to gift something, immediately a red flag goes up.  I say "there's no chance i'm gifting a transaction."

His response:

"I  don't deal with anything besides mass payment or money owed. Too many  bad experiences w/ paypal recently. You can open claims with both of  these methods if you don't receive or don't like the clubs and I'll  refund you. I have over 35 successful transactions on WRX and over 100  on eBay.

  Let me know"
  

Has anybody actually got their items from him?
