Please post up if you or someone you know has been ripped off.
--
Please include as much info on the scam artist as you can. (Email address, real address, screen name, real name, phone numbers and so on.....)
If you are on this list, you can make good with the seller and be removed from this list.
Also, buyers and sellers might want to check out
www.heatware.com . It is a site that allows you to leave feedback for transactions over the internet. They also have quite a comprehensive ban list that buyers could check out before making a big purchase.
Also, I encourage discussion, however I will edit the posts so that the thread is made up entirely of banned people. I will clean it out every month or so.

WAYS To Prevent getting ripped off.
Buy from Official SH Sponsors.
Do not buy from new users.
Do not buy from users with just a few posts.
Do not buy from someone without going back and reading some of there previous sales or feedbacks. Ask for proof of good feedback from the forum.
Get all details , phone number , name & address , confirm it. Call them or have them call you. Get an email from them. Goto anywho.com and try reverse lookup to see if this person exsists.
Ask for any sort of credentials. Links to an ebay account for feedback. Verify the same email address.
After you buy from a user
Go back to there thread , give a detail of the transaction. If its a Good , neutral or Bad Experience.
This way we can rate people and know if someone was a good buy or not , and if the item has been sold.
