Title: READ>>>>>>DO NOT DEAL WITH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: pro shop guy on October 22, 2009, 07:21:13 AM
Just trying to give everyone a heads up. I traded Blake Mushen a Fury Pearl (drilled for him) for a Storm VG about 6 months ago. He has recently tried to sell it. He never sent the VG or any payment for the Fury Pearl. I have contacted him through phone calls and pms. I warned him I would put his phone number and address along with 3 of his screen names from here. His 3 screen names (that I know of) are: The_Moose, Car_Junkie, and Durpiedoo. I will post his phone number and address Friday night. Even though I warned him I would post it, I want to ...for some reason....give him a FINAL chance. Maybe he will read this and know I was not kidding around! I have had way too many great deals on here with some wonderful people and I would hate to stop dealing or one of you getting burned. I will add the other info to this same thread Friday night.

Sorry to hear about the sour deal. I think he also has at least one more screen name here on BR. I just can't recall it right now.

Have to agree. Didn't get burned on a deal, but he said he was going to do something, didn't, and never responded to PM's.

From his profiles it appears he's pretty young.  I would try to get a hold of his parents.  At least it'll give you an idea of what kind of people you are dealing with if nothing else.

I see a "Blake Mushen" in Noblesville, IN.

Searching white pages I see a Kenneth and Linda.  Says Kenneth is age 48, probably his father and mother.  If this is the same kid I would try this number, especially if that''s the shipping address he gave you.

Kid Jete,

Could you please copy and send that info in your post above mine to Pro Shop Guy in a PM instead?  Just in case that info is not the same person(s) involved, why post it here and cause problems for them if they are innocent?  Thanks.

He might not have found out about the multiple usernames until after the deal went sour.

It's public information.  Took me 2 minutes to look up.  I think it'll be okay, you can relax now.

Unfortunately I found out about all his usernames after the deal. It was actually part of his excuse, he said computer crashed and had to get new name. I knew as soon as he said that, there would be a sour deal going on. As far as the Blakes info....not to worry. The post Kid Jete made about the address was correct....no problems there. Glad to see alot of users are viewing this because over the phone he really seemed like a good kid, thats why I gave him so much time to correct the situation. I was totally wrong though.

Two step solution, 1.  Call the parents and if no resolution, 2.  Noblesville police department, Internet Fraud is against the law.

I'm guessing he's over 18 or just turned 18 last spring as one of the profiles talks about starting adult leagues this year.  Obviously he still lives with his parents though as they have the same address.  I would just call the parents and explain nicely to them the situation.  They probably have no idea their kid is ripping people off over the internet.  They will probably pay his way out of it which doesn't punish him but at least you get your money back.  If they have an issue with you just kindly remind them internet fraud is against the law and you could have called their local police but you wanted to give their kid the benefit of the doubt.

The kid looks and sounds like an arrogant one, thinking he can get away with whatever he wants to.

And it also looks like in one of his pics on the site linked last, he's using a laptop..and he also has a picture of all his brunswick stuff, including a *gasp* Fury Pearl.

His nickname on that site is also entered as "Moose", so it coincides with one of his screen names on this site.

I'd call the police before the parents, just because I'm a dick. If they can't raise their child to have some morals, **** 'em.

Pro Shop Guy, you might want to read and file a complaint at the Internet Crime Complaint Center. (http://"http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx")

They work with the FBI on internet crimes/scams.

Maybe his HS coach should be notified that the bowler in question is using (or at the least, has in his possession) stolen equipment?

Kids like that needs to has his AZZ beat. Hes learning at an early age he can get away with anything. And if he is 18 now, it is on him not his parents, The local police's phone number would be on speed dial, call them everyday till you get resolution.
