Griffin's Heroscape Sale!

[GTigers55]

Sent PM to Xorlof. I ain't waiting until February, no way.

I noticed earlier that Griff's reputation is now listed as red and that his moderator badge has been removed. I hope others notice this as well, and that it helps them gauge their chances of continuing to have a successful trade with him.

That is really disappointing to read that, ibecheif, but considering what Griffin had done to us, it's understandable.

Yeah right, everyone knows you can't trust an Aussie.

I just logged into Paypal and noticed that paypal had opened cases investigating the 2x transactions I have done with Griffin. Has this happened for anyone else? I havent emailed paypal or pm'd anyone on this site yet.(pming Xorlof now)

Yes, with luck all of the members who traded with him and choose "gift" will find their transactions with a temporary hold while this is all sorted out.

If you sent him a goods payment, then its up to you to file a dispute.

Same here:

Inquiry by PayPal
Temporary Hold

Thank you for clearing up, my failed assumption. I'll edit that post to avoid confusion.

- items you purchased
- date you purchased
- last status of your order according to Griffin
- how much money you sent (and if it was a Paypal "gift" or not)

This will help us assess who's been promised what and help us size up the total amount owed. Should this be referred to the authorities, it would be helpful if you also included the following in case they need to follow-up with you:

- your real name
- contact email address
- city and state where you live
- your phone number

Any personal information you send will be used solely to try and help sort out this mess, and of course won't be shared publicly.

PM sent ... and inquiry opened by paypal
