Torrero... I'm not making any accusations, mind you.. but you are DEAD wrong:
Well at least any traders out there know Im a safe trader now..


We don't know any such thing.

Again, I'm not accusing you of it, but it HAS been known for a scammer or scammers to use multiple accounts (we've seen that). It's not unheard of for one or 2 of the "bad" accounts to get publicly caught trying to scam the "good" account, thereby affording him some sense of reliability.

Nobody knows anything about you and, if we ever made a deal, you'd still be held to my sig line (re: Shipping first, not stepping in poo. LOL).

Torreo,

1. as of this moment, i see no rep on BTown. you need to complete trades first.

2. nobody that i have seen, (except starslayer) has called you anything but well gullible to perhaps have fallen for this.

3. WE COULD ALL BE DEAD WRONG HERE AND BOTH ARE LEGIT TRADERS
(although both ****ed up with the ref boosting stupidity)

I hope all goes well for you in the long run. I love it here and things have only gone wrong with me 1 time.

Please do not agree to a trade with me unless you know for sure that you actually want it to happen! If you think that makes me a jerk, feel free to NOT TRADE WITH ME!
Did you grow up on comics from the 80s? So did we. We're creating a comic book that has the "coolness" of modern books, with the style of those books we loved in the 80s/90s. Check it out: www.brassfalcon.com

Don't stress yet.
If you're fine, you'll be fine.

If you AREN'T, you need to stress.

Like Steve said... You have no rep, so none was ruined.


@ Cypher....
Dude. Cut it out.
Unless you have some proof of that, don't go around throwing accusations.
I'm not saying you're wrong about him. I don't know enough to know that.
What I'm saying is aht you're wrong for accusing him without showing proof.

I didn't call him anything.
Perhaps you mean "Starspawn"?

I called the behaviour of mad dog and brink very transparent, and obviously exposing their silly short thought scheming minds.
But he took it on himself it seems.

I also said I didnt trust him,he does behave like a liar, and also joined just before them, and the odds of them being his first contact here are slim at best.

He lied. Not behaved like a liar.
- Fake references for trades that never happened.
- Multiple accounts.
- Being deceptive by trying to post/appear as different people.

Here is something interesting. "I was only trying to get some stuff."
He deserves to be permanently banned. At the very least, he should have his multiple accounts deleted, and get a negative reference by the Admins so potential traders are warned of this behavior.

You asked for advice... a couple experienced traders told you not to trade... your "trade partners" made sarcastic comments... which you seemed to think made them great guys... and now your worried you got scammed... sorry no pity for you here..

I hope you get your stuff.. but i'll never trust them.. and quite frankly your activities are just as suspicious.. not to mention your way of speaking is pretty much exactly the same as theirs... I'll chalk that up to you being 15, for now... just don't expect anyone to ship to you first!
Regards,
Thomas Sexton

I personally think this is a load of BS.
As a amatuer trader, I sometimes have to jump through hoops to make a sale, as I have a low trade reference score and can't back it up with an ebay account.
As a low level trader, I expect to have to do things like mail first, have lengthy email conversations or possibly a phone call or two in effort to make my sale. But that is how you earn a good trade reference as a beginner trader.
Whether or not these guys should be banned, I'll leave that to the admins, but they should definitely be stripped of their fake trade references and be giving a negative mark by the BT admins.
The references are here for our benefit, and not to be falsified. as a new trader, you may be scrutenized a bit more than a person with 200 trades under their belt, but all it takes is a few minutes of extra work to prove you are legit. Faking a reference will make people wary of you, legit or not.
