I made a stupid gas move by trusting this guy who is located in Vietnam. He kept communication up until a few days ago.
I was leery from the start, but he frequents many top forums and even had a "good trader" rating. I spoke to a person in the states who dealt with him. He said the deal went smoothly and that he was shocked by the communication.
The deal was my W.R. Landy Custom Guitar for his Gibson Standard Faded. We both agreed to pay respective shipping. Now almost 5 months later I have not received the guitar he allegedly sent, yet he has mine. He opted to insure it and supposedly filed a claim with his local post office.
I thought great! Now what? Well he sends me an email saying that he will sell my guitar locally and send me "around" $500. He said the local interest noticed my ads in the forums from when I was trying to deal it. He asked me to lie to possible buyers he found locally saying that I am his friend trying to sell it in the states and that he didn't get it from me. He says he'll never get the $1200 I had it listed for if the buyer knows he got it at that price. I said what!?!?!? I told him I am not going to lie to people and that he should send me back the guitar since he is going to collect the insurance money. He apologized saying that he was being selfish and that I was right. I felt that if he did the honest thing that I could be a connection for gear for him in the future. I figured I can pay him back by giving him access to gear he may otherwise not be able to obtain.
Next he says that transferring money from the US to Vietnam is difficult, but from Vietnam to the US is easy. He wanted to send me money to purchase something here and I pay to ship it back. Then he will pay to ship my guitar back and it will be equal. I figure that will work. His most recent email said that he doesn't have the money to buy anything. he asks if we want to go back to the initial plan? I said only if the plan was to send my guitar back, not the $500 nonsense. He says ok how you can send the money. I did some research to find out a way to have it shipped back and billed to me without any money going in his hands. I find that have Fedex pick up the guitar at his house and ship it through my account. Done!! I have sent him 2 emails so far and he has not responded.
I would NOT recommend dealing with this guy. Let this be a lesson that GAS is BAD!!!!

If the admin's or mod's need confirmation. I have an email trail that will show you this guy clearly robbed me.
I suggest everyone who knows this guy spread the word that he is a scammer.
