Well I hate to say it, but Reverb isn't going to help. They are in bed with him totally as evidenced multiple times in this thread. I don't really think the police are going to be able to help you sadly. I really hope you get your money back (prior experience shows you most likely will after he gives you the long distance runaround).
Have you contacted PayPal or your CC provider to dispute the charge?
What crime did he do you. He’s unethical for sure, and lowest of low. But he get away with it because he manipulates and abuses the system rather than breaking the law.
Susanne is probably just Keith pretending to be a woman because people are typically less aggressive against women when being provided bad service
You need to do this. North Carolina business bureau put Stuart Carter aka Fat Sound Guitars Cary NC out. Revoked his business license and fixed where he could not be a business owner anymore in NC. Worth a shot.
Now now now we must be sympathetic to trans scammers too.
Yes. [Appropriate Pronoun] can go fuck [Appropriate Pronoun]self
Wow, dude. He literally lies to customers about having items in stock, steals their hard earned money, gives them fake bullshit stories about his dog eating his homework, and then has shills with Stockholm syndrome go around white knighting for him for damage control.This seems fairly on the money. My responses have never defended his business practices nor condoned them. I've purchased 5 items from ggn. 4 out 5 shipped immediately, 1 out of 5 had a 5 month delay before I got it. That said the 1 delayed item was a pre order and customized, I knew I wouldn't get it immediately. Shouldn't have taken 5 months and myriad of excuses plus bad tracking along the way but in the end, I got what I paid for, I got what I wanted and to me that doesn't equal scumbag behavior. Poor business behaviors? Absolutely, but we are all adults here right? We can separate and identify the difference between people who don't do business the way we would like and a scumbag trying to rip people off right? We can make decisions about who we will or won't do business with without calling people names simply because we don't like their practices right?
People HAVE gone to the police.
Just so I can make sure I'm following you. Are you saying that reverb/etsy are willfully shielding a seller against criminal complaints and/or investigations over transactions that took place on their platform?
If what he's doing IS illegal, then they certainly are.
Dude, it's no longer a question. MANY complaints have been filed with Reverb and the GGN is still doing business through them. Do you really think this forum cares if you've had good luck with them? Lots of fraudulent businesses also have satisfied customers. If all a business did was screw people over, they'd be done in an instant.
