dumelow Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 hey, this is one for the moderaters really. I had just sent a cheque earlier this week to one of the basschatters here to buy one of the pedals he'd advertised in the for sale forum. I tried to message him today to see if he had recieved it and it says he has been banned?! he had his e-mail address on his profile so ive e-mailed him hopefully to recieve a reply, but why would he have been banned? is it a temporary thing? is it a scam? should i cancel my cheque? Any advice would be great cheers dumelow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Depends who it is, some banned members are still active on other forums so you might be able to get in touch that way? *Edit - thinking about it though, they should still reply to their emails?

Wil Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 He looks genuine enough, but hard to say really, especially if he's been banned for some reason. Might be worth trying to get in touch via his myspace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumelow Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Just to clarify - i received an e-mail from trevbass stating that he hadnt heard from me in a few days and ripped up my cheque when it arrived because he'd already sold the pedal. I have no idea why this happened as he knew I was sending a cheque throught the post and I messaged him sunday evening telling him that the cheque had been posted. He was obviously too impatient to wait for the payment. Im going to cancel the cheque just in case...but I know I wont be dealing with this guy again in the future and I recommend that nobody else bothers dealing with him either.

Wil Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 What a pain! I do wonder why it is that some people seem incapable of communicating on the internet. Definately sounds like one to watch out for, sorry to hear you've been messed about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecowboy Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Man, its such a shame people like "Trevthebass" have to do things like this, it does show the strength of this community though.
