its been over a month and no response from emails or twitter or here or even on his facebook from what others said. i gave him 130+ steem for a $500 card. and never got it. it was the final $500 payment for my new recumbent bicycle. had to give up on it and go with a cheaper model. i am riding it from DC to CA in May-July. couldnt wait any longer to get prepped and do some practice rides. pisses me off i couldnt get the bike i initially wanted because of this scammer.

Really sorry to hear that. Well, I love cycling and have gone on touring rides myself, and I followed you. I'll keep my eyes out for your posts and try to upvote some of the scam pain away.
It's too bad you can't give people the benefit of the doubt. Like you know what you're getting into when you try a new service, but it's too bad some people actually have nothing better to do than fraud a few bucks from someone.
Makes it more difficult for honest people who want to start something, because everyone has to be so suspicious.
I feel like there may be a decent chance you get your Steem back (it just won't be worth as much as when you thought you were spending it). I think that may end up being his scam. Like by "refunding" he's legally covered, in which case we'd at least only be scammed for like half or 2/3 of the amount lol
Or maybe not even that lol, but ya I'll join you in reporting to authorities etc if he doesn't make things right.
thanks. the bike i got will work and i do like it. as long as i get the steem back im not to upset but i don't think i will. right now it's all about getting prepped for my long bike ride :)
