:mad WARNING: GFY Member "Boobs" has Scammed Myself and Others

I posted this in the Buy/Sell forum but the guy does post occasionally in here. This is just a heads up to those out there so you don't get scammed by this guy. Wasn't a ton of money, but he has been spamming the fuck out of the buy/sell forum lately and don't wan't anyone else to get burned.

Here is another individual with the same exact scenario having been ripped off for hundreds of dollars.

I know permanent isn't permanent. But I also know that charging guys hundreds of dollars for links that are gone in a week is pretty ridiculous. I'm an understanding guy. If he can't pay his hosting bill, decided to sell the sites, fine. Just tell me, return my money, no hard feelings. Instead he has ignored e-mails and posts regarding the matter while continuing to operate on the forums.

As for proof, I have ICQ logs, paypal transactions, whatever is needed.

Myself and Pink Panther are not the only ones ripped off by Boobs:

That's just what I've seen lately here lately. He's been called out by others on other boards for trading links for a site on one forum while trying to sell that site on the other.

Like I said, I'm an understanding guy. People forget about links they've sold, trades they've made, etc. Sites get dropped for all sorts of reasons. Just come forward and let me know what's going on.

I don't call people out on the boards much at all. And sure $240 isn't a lot of money and just part of the game. But I think it's time people were warned about this guy before they do business with him. Sure he's made good dealings with some people, but he's also ripped off quite a few people here too. I don't give a shit about the money, I just don't want to see anymore honest guys on this board get ripped off. Do business with this guy at your own risk.
