Hello Everyone,
I want to take a minute and let everyone know about a transaction gone
wrong. I was contacted by someone a month ago, about a trade deal.
The trade he proposed to me was for my MISB TM2 Megatron, MISB TM Primal,
MISB TM Megatron
for his original G1 Starscream complete. His name is Justin O'connell,
and the screen name he contacted me with was DigitalXero@aol.com, then
later he went under the name DigitalDez@aol.com. He is located in Savannah,
Georgia. We both
agreed on a simultaneous trade, via Priority Mail and Delivery Confirmation
and Tracking. I sent my items out the next day, but he then emailed
me stating some problems and will be delayed. I told him no problem,
just send them out within a day or two and he agreed. Time goes by.....enter
one month later. I emailed him back repeatedly and never got a response.
Then I emailed him one last time, stating that I will contact the Post
Office regarding mail fraud, and the Savannah, Georgia Police Department
of his activities (or his lack of), if I didn't receive the said item within
a week. I immediately got an response from him, saying that he will
send the item the following day with tracking. Sure enough, I get a tracking
number from him two days ago, and the item arrived today. However,
it was not what we agreed on. It was incomplete (missing both small
bombs and landing gear), and it was a Re-Issue Starscream. Needless
to say, I was not pleased. I emailed him back, and it seems that
he is no longer on his email account. I checked the package the item came
in, and there was a return address...but no name! My suspicion is
that Justin O'connell isn't even his real name. This situation reminds
me of another bad trader in Georgia. His name is Jason Lynch, which
I am sure some of you are familiar with. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised
if this person is the one and same. Now, I am here to make sure that
this doesn't happen to any of you. Here is the information that I
wish to divulge to you in case someone out there is in a similar situation:
Alias:
DigitalXero@cs.com
DigitalXero@aol.com
DigitalDez@aol.com
Home Address:
Justin O'connell (most
likely not his real name)
9111 White Bluff Rd Apt #69
Savannah, GA 31406
If anyone has had any dealings with this person, dealt with someone at this address, or has any other information, please contact me. Transformers collecting should be an enjoyable experience, and we certainly don't need people like Justin O'connell ("If that is your real name") to put a damper on the experience. Thank you for your time and patience reading this. Also...if you are a honest Transformers collector looking to trade, give me a buzz...I'm always happy to trade or buy!
Thanks,
