Very sorry to have to report yet another person who joined Trad Gang (this time under a false name) to steal and cheat our good brothers and sisters of the stick bow.  

Beware of any dealings with ...

Hard to believe he was the one on here earlier bragging about making the arrows for the Bob Lee photo.  World is full of scammers.  

I told the guy who recently got scammed by him to get me the materials, and I will make the arrows for him free of charge to calm his feeling about the bad dealing.

Thanks for the list Rob.
Some folks have no integrity and it shows right off; what I find curious is when someone goes on for a while-at times a long while, and then turns into a stream of pus.

Reminds me of a local store which used to post the names and bad checks (very prominently behind the cash register) of local customers who stiffed them. The word got out...you didn't want to have your name on THAT list.

I really apreciate youre work and effort and want to thank you for this.

I have mixed feelings about the notion above the list to be specially carefull with people from foreign countries, though. makes it harder for honest people from abroad to deal in the classifieds a bit. Infact i had two deals not coming together because the seller didnt feel good about me being overseas...

Anyways, thanks for the good work!

These scammers don't realize in the end they hurt themselves Because there are some awesome people on this site.

People that say prayers for each other, share knowledge, sell quality things @ fair prices.

(I see this & only been a member for a few days)

May GOD bless all those @ Tradgang with a pure heart.
