Is djtalon007 Legit??
« on: March 11, 2006, 12:32:00 AM »
I hate having to ask this but with scams so common on here now a days I must.

but has anyone done a transaction with Justin Jahn djtalon007he stated he wanted a postal money order,which I dont mind sending,but I couldnt find any buyer/seller feedback on him,and sending 190.00 to someone I dont know nothing about is crazy,not saying Justin Jahn isnt trust worthy,because most likely he is,but this is a friends money not mine.

In my opinion, if a user does not have feedback from several users on this site, I am not taking the chance. Thats just my opnion..

Or if a new seller will ship first, that will work as well..

Other than that, I would be very careful with any new user selling stuff..

I agree with Jkiser. A new user should have no problem agreeing to ship first.

This is of course all dependant upon the user asking the new person to ship first has good feedback here..

I agree with them. I would ask for him to ship ball first and then you send the M.O. after you have the ball. If he does not feel comfortable with that then you could ask about doing a C.O.D. if he still does not agree, leave him be!

Maybe a 50/50? Send half the money before shipping and the other half after receiving.

I also have a pending transaction with him. I purchased an inferno off him. I sent him a money order on march 1st ( i know the mail runs very slow in my area ) and he hasnt recieved it yet.
 He does keep in very good contact though. Anytime i send him a message he replied within a few hours.
 Ill keep every1 posted though.  Hope this helps a little.. TJ

I almost bought 2 balls off of him and never got any feedback about his dealings so I backed out.

may ask him to ship first and when the balls arrive I would send the postal money order,maybe add a few bucks in the deal.

He wouldn't go for that.  He offered paying half first then shipping and paying half after shipment to me.  I still didn't feel comfortable.

i messaged him today an didnt hear back from him.. He sounds pretty good though.. like i said I dont think he recieved the money order from me yet and if by chance he did an didnt fess up to it i have a tracking number to the M/O that shows if he recieved it and with the insurance i bought on it.. that makes it a federal offense if i dont recieve my purchase.

But he's been in good communication so i dont think we have anything to worry about

Tried to work a deal on the same 2 balls and there were 2 other guys also in here working deals on these balls sounds like to me that there were quite a few gonna ship MO to him for the paradigm and ace for 190 somethings fishy asked him to COD and wouldnt looked for feedback nothing but i have good feedback so I was leary and backed out plus that just sounds too good to be true on those 2 balls.

Very interesting.  I sent him a money order for the Paradigm on Mar 10.  I tracked the package and it entered the US on Mar 12.  I emailed him on Mar 15 twice and he finally responded on Mar 16 to say that he has not received my money order.

I have an uneasy feeling about this.  Looks like he is a fly by night kinda guy.

HE told me that he shipped my ball USPS and it should be here within 3 days and he put 100 dollar insurance on it. So i have to sign for it. Well today is the 3rd day hopefully everything goes through

My gut feeling is this guy is NOT legit.. I am willing to bet no one gets their stuff.. I hope I am wrong but this just smells bad all the way around..
