    I don't know, I was told he's just a known scammer. I would assume elsewhere.

    I'll wait for my informant.

    If it's indeed the same person, he's been scamming over at NintendoAge as well as other websites. Considering the low post count and low value in dispute, it would be in his best interest to settle it up rather than risk being blackballed from a whole community so quickly. But if scamming for $9 is his thing, then what else can you do? :shrug:

    Interesting. It's pretty pathetic if you ask me.

    Well, if that's what he wishes then so be it.


    I mean, the free stuff thread he can just PM anybody...

    Such a shame that a great part of the site (people GIVING things away to other members of the community) has now been tainted!

    This thread has been up for well over a week now and TonyyonT has been online and posted since so it looks quite obvious that he is trying to ignore it.

    I would suggest giving him until Friday 12:00 a.m. to pay the shipping costs or impose a perm ban. IMO you can get much lower than refusing to pay shipping for something you have been GIVEN!

    I disagree. Even if I was scammed I'd never do that.

    What an absolute dickhead though. Scamming for a few dollars. Gigantic cunt.

    I would think that too, but they may not live alone, so its not fair hurting the other people who live with them.

    It could also be a friends, or second house address... Although it's the best way to identify them.

    It's quite telling that he posted a week ago, was directed to this thread, hasn't commented on the thread, edited his posts, and hasn't posted since... yet only yesterday he was online.

    It would be nice to hear from TonyynoT himself on the matter. Otherwise, I'd call for a ban.

    I've gotten nothing. I would call for a ban, personally.

    Yeah, pretty much. In the 7 years that I've been buying games/consoles on the Internet (read: buying/selling thousands)

    I have never came across someone ripping me off for free games. The man is pathetic in every sense of the word.

    Looks like he is still lurking. Wonder why he isn't banned yet.

    I can't speak too much about TonyynoT as I've never actually bought or sold anything to him, but I've been close to doing so. He's been a bit dodgy, I've shown him my stuff (N64) and he's told me what he wants, as soon as we get to the discussion of price and payment he never replied. The same thing regarding the same items has happened several times. He claims to have items that I'm interested in as well but whenever I ask to buy / price / etc he stops replying.
