SCAMMER: tried to help the dude and he leaves me hangin @darthpolak

the thing here is that you tried to help out a total stranger. usually when dudes help each other out on here is because they somehow know each other, so there's some level of trust, but when it's a random dude that just pops up out of nowhere it's a little more sketchy.
 
There's nothing to debate. People buying shoes for random people on this site BEORFE getting any money first is NOT the norm thus doesn't happen "all the time ".

With that said I expect you to somehow still have a disagreement with that.

For once I actually agree with you.

Homie clearly went out of his way to help dude then dude went ghost. OP was bamboozled. This buyer shouldn't be allowed on NT for this flakiness.

I think the level of trust came from the dude being a regular in the SB thread posting info, pics, etc.

I wouldn't do it but I will vouch for OP that the dude seemed pretty genuine
 
dude replied in the SB thread :lol:

I was going to PM anyone who mentioned it, but **** it now.



Yes, I ****** @hadowajp 's **** up. I don't know if there's a way to check my activity on this site like other forums I've been to in the past but I haven't been near a computer, mobile phone, ipad, whatever in about 12 days until maybe about 45 mins ago so I definitely haven't been on NT or in this thread. The very first thing I did the second my iPad charged up enough to even turn on was come and try to reach out to @hadowajp.



It sucks, and I'm sorry, and whatever I need to do to make it right with @hadowajp I will. I fully intend to compensate him for his time if he will let me, even without getting the shoes now. He put time in to get them for me, he put time in to contact me, and he had to put time in to get rid of them elsewhere.



The man is entitled to be compensated for that.



I didn't intend to do anything. I even still have a shipping label prepared that I needed to send him to send me the shoes.



Hunt me down and kill me, internet hate me, whatever. I came in and asked for help and then ****** **** up. That's on me and I'll deal with it.
 
OP, how is this a scam though? I'm confused.

Much love to you for fronting the money to buy this dude a pair of kicks though. You're a better person than me b/c there is absolutely no way I'm doing that for anyone on NT. Way too many flakers on here.

Buddy probably lost interest after seeing what hyped shoes were releasing via TLO on NDC.
 
I understand things pop up in real life, but dude had at least 2 people copping the same sneaker for him. Unless he planned on buying both, his excuse for not being to get to a computer in 2 weeks doesn't even matter.
 
He attempted to scam. Period. How can y'all not see it. He asked to is overnight shipping labels. That's one of the oldest tricks in the book.

In the SB thread we dance a little different, this is somewhat commonplace it happens often and it's not a big deal to me. I just though I'd put it out there that he's playin games it's not going to kill me to be out $110 for a few weeks to help someone out. I'm old I understand when people need a bit of help from time to time due to responsibilties this won't sway me from doing it again I will never ship prior to being paid so I'll be out nothing

Hell yeah you can see he tried to scam man I don't know how you guys not seeing it.

Away from any type of technology for 12 days yeah whatever.

He must have thought they were going to ship the shoes first probably.

I mean on the other hand he has stillin729 stillin729 and some others from the actual thread vouching for him so maybe not.

Also, I doubt these sneaker cost bread like that, but I've seen dudes scam for way less.
 
Attempted but no pay? Right.

But this is the slippery slope. Although he wasn't successful, you don't know 100% if he was scamming.

That's for y'all mods to decide. I'm here hoping something epic happens

Yeah that's what I thought that he was attempting but it didn't work out how he thought it would.

It also seems like he's telling stories and coming up with excuses to save face.

I meant I can see why OP would think it was okay to do this favor for him when he had asked because he was a regular in the SB thread posting pics, contributing, etc

He clearly tried to scam OP though; that 12 days without electronics is so bogus; he was logged on NT 5 days ago :smh:

You a good dude OP, I don't see anything wrong with what you did. Props
 
the SB thread isn't like the hot mess over in the Jordan threads; etc

it was like a throwback to how Niketalk was like 10 years ago
 
Yea I'm not using my own money to buy someone on the internet a pair of shoes. I don't know you

Really not for us mods to decide. We have selling buying rules for a reason.

At the end of the day, people have to stop fronting other dudes money for shoes as well as see a fishy situation when it's sitting right there in front of you.

Yeah I know that's why he's just piling more lies on top of lies to try to save face or keep his name on good grounds on here until he can really score something of high value.
 
Also, some of you are really confused in seeing a scam vs seeing a broke dude that's making an excuse for not buying some shoes he can't afford.

A scammer doesn't ask you to buy shoes then disappear and return with excuses. That's a broke dude right there.
A scammer would have at least sent payment in an attempt to..... SCAM.

The intent to scam was there; he was going to send him the overnight label then quickly reverse the transfer of money once it was shipped

problem is things seemed to go bad when he didn't even have the money to do that

He logged in every day prior to me going out of town on Friday and never got back to me if you look at the screenshots I'm still trying to talk to him but nothing I was checking to see if he hadn't logged in and just wasn't seeing my messages but he was

Yup maybe one day I'll get my screen name back so I'll look like I know what I'm talking about
