I did do business with FMandL / Apolloresources.
I consider my business transactions confidential and dont like being name dropped and feel rather forced into the middle of this, something I do not appreciate. I'm not bros with anyone in this thread, I'm just offering my feedback after talking to both parties involved as that's really all I can do here.
My transaction with FMandL did not go smoothly, he did take much longer to deliver on the purchase, was not always upfront about why the process was being delayed and wasn't the best about getting back in touch with me. The truth of the matter is I did have to open a paypal dispute. To be honest the problems UsualEnt is having sound very similar to the issues I had with my transaction.
But- in FMandL's defense- he DID deliver on his promises, eventually. Even though the process frustrated and dissapointed me, I am pleased with the quality of what I received.
Also he kept in touch with me by AIM, phone and email, never ICQ and his personal details as I know them do not match the details on the paypal account UsualEnt shared with me. But also to be 100% honest the paypal account I sent the funds through for our transaction did not belong to him either.
From what I have experienced with FMandL I do not consider him to be a scammer, I am happy with what I got from him just the process of getting it was long and drawn out and left much to be desired. I think UsualEnt did the smart thing using paypal, you should never wire anyone cash that you don't know personally.
