Oh I'm getting my money back for sure! Every payment I sent him I wrote "first payment for regular Akuma PO" and so on and so forth.
Guys this is why you NEVER pay anything as gift. If I had I would have been ****!

I wish there was too and I agree. No one likes getting scammed.

THANKFULLY, Paypal is at least protecting you and you are getting your $$$$ back. Which you can now buy an Akuma for WAY less than you paid this guy!
Thanks for the heads up!!!

I'm very lucky. I kept every pm and email should things go south. I guess he wasn't expecting me to do everything I needed to protect myslef from the beginning. I also bet he wasn't expecting me to blow this wide open on the forums. He shouldn't have pulled this with me!

Glad you are covered with PayPal and btw due to whatever reason maybe panic on hairline akuma being sold at reasonable to retail price so you should have him in no time.
Even if we had a reputation and rating section that can still be full of scammers with fake feedback so it's pointless.

We need to be real to each other on the forums. We need to watch out for each other and I expect nothing less from all of you if someone tries to take advantage of you.
Don't keep quiet.
I gave him one last chance today and asked why he flat out lied to me. I told him it was one last chance and this would be the last time I pm him.
He couldn't give me an answer so I created the thread. Honestly I probably would have made it anyway but I always gave gave him a chance to prove himself.
This was the last resort.
