Hey NB, check out the link to my gab page on my link to my trade page in my signature 
Im Vice Admiral lem0nhead of the Bright Orange Llama team. My team leader is great and i dont have a problem with anything except except when i deal with bad traders. They are slow and not particularly helpful when you submit your report. Like i said i have reported my scam artist weeks ago and nothign has been done. It took a while last time to hear anything and that was only preliminary emails sent from the inquisitor asking the dude did he rip me off!?? I mean come on...
So yeah GAB are cool except when you report a bad trader then it takes forever.
Does anyone else think its worth stickying something or making a post that warns traders to be wary of any norwegian with no references asking for trades to be sent first? |

I have no qualms about trading with someone from Norway who has references. But I agree with Lem0nhead, be wary of someone from Norway with NO references who want you to send first (or same time). I think that this guy is a scammer who uses multiple e-mails to look like different people.
Lem0n, do you think it would help if I reported him to GAB, as well? |

Yeah sure SM, that might help. If you have the emails he sent you that would be useful. If GAB add him as a bad trader his aliases emails and addresses get published so he’d have to keep moving house!
Plenty of bad traders are reported by more than 1 person who they have scammed. Nice one! |

| Yes, I still have all of our e-mails. That’s what I like about googlemail, there’s so much space that I can keep everything (and I do - well, almost). I will get that sent off to GAB soon. |

Update! I just put Jan-Erik Dypvik’s physical address into the GAB Bad Traders list, and it came up with ANOTHER name, Kristoffer Frengstad!
I have turned in the bad trader report. Hopefully, another one of his aliases will be on the list soon. |

Hi,
You have no refs and although I am sure you are an honest person, I would prefer you send first.
I have been robbed too many times to trust people on their word. If you check my refs, I have 50 or so and that is something you can trust.
My address is
Steve Millington
31 rue des bois francs
Ste-Catherine de la j.c., Quebec,
Canada
G0A-3M0
Let me know when you ship the cards and I will ship yours the day I get your enveloppe.
Cheers!
Steve

It must be the same guy! The first line of his address seems to change every time he changes his name, but the 7350 Buvika, Norway is exactly the same as the address given to me by Jan-Erik Dypvik.
I wonder if he’s having cards sent to his family and friends, so that he can act as if he’s a different person.
And yes, you can tell from your e-mails that he is trying to play you. You haven’t received his cards yet, but he’s still pressuring you to send yours! Charletan! |

Dude avoid it! This guy is a ******
Something needs be done.
Did he contact you through mahasamatman? If so maybe its worth contact Sam and telling him to add him verify his address or post his deatils on the notes page. |
