scammed, please help!
My buddy just got scammed, he shipped his Clone GT to a guy. and once the guy recieved the GT he turned off PMs, wont reply to any call or email.
it is a red with orange Clone GT, MINT condition
he was supposed to be shipping my friend a swamp geo 3
his nation username is "action paintballer"
http://www.pbnation.com/member.php?u=501376
the adress he gave was
20632 milbank, woodhaven , mi, 48183
and he was going by the name Justin Marquette
if you know who this might be, or if you see someone who has/had a swamp geo 3, or a guy with a new clone GT PLEASE contact me, ive been scammed before and if you have as well you will know the feeling my friend has right now.
Thank you!

Likely his real name. Call Action Paintball and see if they can give you any info on him, I don't think he's affiliated with the store or anything, but based on his posts he may have played with them for a period of time. They may be able to help.

Its unfortunately probably gone. The guy only had 3 feed back from 2 years ago, should of been a first warning sign, and was not BST trusted. Part of not getting scammed is picking the right buyer/seller.
I really hope you find him though.
Either way I sure a few of us locals wouldn't have an problem piling in a car and paying him a nice visit.

The clone has the regulator screw removed and the screen is burnt out, or at least it was when it was traded

Do so, the sooner you get it up the better. Could call woodhaven PD and inform them of the situation, not sure that they can do anything with it being international but i'd at least check into it.

Trying to A.force someone to ship first (which typically can lose you some otherwise good deals) or B.Not dealing on nation is kind of extreme.
Next time deal through a third party (;D excessive amounts of feedback help)

Rofl Clark... 7 feedback.. "you ship first, I'm way legit."
Hope your boy gets his stuff.
And I agree with T.Dix, use 3rd parties for trading.

I'm pretty sure this guy never, ever, ever played an event for Detroit action. If he did, it wasn't for very long and never at anything more important than a local. I've checked all of our roster history on appa. Feel free to double check.

I was around in 2010, and can place all of the old action thread's names to faces except his, so he couldn't have been around that much. Playing with us at practice or playing for us at a national, are two drastically different things.
That being said, if the store doesn't know yet they will tomorrow. Pm me the serial so I can watch for it at our field. Best let exotic sports and killer know as well.
