Madden 16 Where? When? Thread

[jeremym480]

I got Madden and 2k from gip locally last year. From what I recall I got them the Friday before release so let's let this play out a bit.

Here's a sequence of posts from when he sold NBA 2k15 early that suggests the same pattern: takes money, drops out of sight. However, for one person who bought from Gip, the game came in. For the other person, he refunded the money.

Not meaning to excuse him -- he could very well have scammed -- but other than silence, nothing yet screams "scam."

Sending money requests and then immediately not responding after multiple emails had been exchanged minutes prior is a pretty good sign...as I said earlier....I've done this successfully for years and have seen several scammers...they follow a pattern. There were even a few posts in this thread warning others that people had previously accused him of scamming, or taking money and refunding weeks later.

Just because you've done this successfully for "years" doesn't necessarily mean your right about this one.

Based on just a few of his tweets it seems he's treated you no different than he treats anyone else.

Isn't that the point? he sends people money requests and stops responding in an effort ton take their money. So yes, you are right, if he treats others the way our interactions went...do the math.

I'm just informing others that if it feels like a scam, and you feel it is one...it probably is and don't do it. I have a ton of experience getting games early and have a 100% success rate, the early hunt is always a blast and this community helps make it fun. I'm right in the fact that this guy takes people's money and doesn't deliver, regardless if he refunds later. he's a member of this board and used this board to promote these behaviors. I'm trying to make sure his guy doesn't have access to this boards members anymore. No need to patronize members.

Anyone in Northern NJ have any luck?

Can we just find the game early so we can all be happy? Enough discussing other members' credibility.
