Title: So who else did Dead Mike screw over today?
Post by: thereefers245 on February 12, 2013, 12:09 am
That fucker stole thankfully only $100 off me while I attempted to do a MoneyPak for his Bitcoin. He was the only vendor I gave my code to, and after two days of no response I check online and it was fully cashed. In his reviews so far he did the exact same thing to 3 other people today. Who knows if this is the full amount since he was able to cancel my order so I couldn't leave negative feedback.  Please step forward so we may lampoon this shithead.

He pulled all his listings, admins has he been banned successfully or did he just disappear? Fuck this guy.

Yea I realize that, but I needed the BTC quickly to make an order and he was the only vendor available, I figured only one bad review for MP to BTC could have been due to user error since he had quite a few physical sales each with a 5/5 review, saying how he had good communication etc. Is the review system a broken system? This is a new account that I created after a year break from the road, and lost my password and pin for the old one account; but after my lengthy hiatus it seems a 5/5 is almost meaningless.

And this 50 post forum rule? Whoever made this rule is in bed with the vendors since I saw almost no negative feedback, or any discussion on here at all about Dead Mike. I figure that annoying post thing deters people from posting full feedback about vendors.

You are free to post feedback about vendors in the Newbie section.  The 50 post rule, by the way, was implemented by DPR himself.

I have a feeling no one reads non spam things in that section, though I could be wrong. I just remember the rumor mill being the official juicy gossip section that people take seriously and admins consider.

It doesn't matter where you post it as long as the title comes up when someone else searches his name. There's just not much you can do about it but at least if someone else searches the name and finds this thread they would have saved some money.

no, it still is. scammers are getting smarter, and they buy their own listings and make bunk reviews

Damn true, I saw a discussion in the politics section about possibly implementing a MoneyPak escrow, since MP is an excellent no paper trail exchange method, through some means. Could this happen?  Is this being worked on?

Is there anywhere I can check to see what/if the admins have done anything about Dead Mike? And if reports are seriously taken, at the very least causing a ban and maybe in the future a tithe or some shit that could be useful for all.

Did you report Dead Mike using the "report this listing" button over on SR or did you contact SR Support about it at all?

I used the report button but it used to be much more direct

If you've reported him, then that's all you can do over on SR about it.  Hopefully the staff will be able to take a look at it soon.
