As some of you know oldfart and I made a deal, 204 ruger barrel in super 14 with iron sights, like new, and 100 new brass for her 44 mag barrel, nearly new with iron sights and 100 brass. This took place around 15th dec. i sent mine as she said she did, same day. Two weeks later at my prodding i got mine in my packaging. Problem was no iron sights and only 80 brass, and those were not the best but i overlooked it and asked for my stuff, said it would be sent in a week, i know she had a lot of stuff going at one time so chalked up to oversight. Well been several weeks, some with no reply to pms and all she had to say is i should have got it by now. no reply to supply tracking# or priority#. So i hope you guys have better luck with her although i know of 2 others with like experience. THIS IS MY FIRST DEAL GONE BAD THROUGH THE INTERNET, lets hope she does the right thing. A DEALS A DEAL.

I traded molds with her and got what I was supposed to. I wonder if she used some of us to 'wash' things she'd stolen from someone else. Don't we have her address? Why not send a local around to 'speak' to 'her'...

I did a trade with her. Wasn't exactly as described, but close enough. I don't have any bad feelings about the deal. I got fair value for what I sent.

I did notice she offered up the gas checks that I sent her in another offer a couple of weeks later.

I still have her address if someone is looking for some way besides PM to contact her.

Had a few dealings with Hazel. The first went without a hitch, I traded 136 pcs of 45 WIN MAG brass for a set of RCBS dies in .380. She also sent me a shotgun scope mount before I paid for it, but I returned it. Not what I wanted. Then she advertised a used mold for sale or trade. I then sent 150 pcs of once fired 44 MAG brass and 50 Rem SJHPs for the mold. She said that was cool with her and the mold will ship ASAP. Well...... about 2 1/2 weeks passed before I heard anything from her. Then I get a PM from her and she said the mold was in the mail. That was about 2-3 weeks ago. I would like to get my mold and am perplexed by why anyone would just screw people over like this. :(If there is a health concern or death in the family etc. etc. then that is understandable, but to just mess someone around isn't cool. Especially in the shooting community that is constantly under attack as it is!

"59 posts,, all but one in the classifieds."


So it was kind of like here then. I think she has a business she's running. Like out of a shop or something. Right after I traded her the 45 WIn Mag brass she promptly told another member she had some 45 Win Mag brass for sale or trade. No big deal, but she told me she really needed some for herself.:confused: I also noticed that almost all her postings were buy/sell/trade.:confused: P.S. the date on the last post Hazel sent me was 15 Jan when she told me the mold was on the way.

I haven't dealt with Hazel, but I did a deal with Terry Grindle, aka the Low Country Gunsmith (LCGS), on another board about 2 years ago. He wanted to trade a "like new" condition Lee 6 cavity mould with handles for a Lyman or RCBS 2 cavity with handles. The Lee mould in question was a standard production and not custom, but it was one that I wanted, so I figured what the heck. I sent him a used, very good condition Lyman 358156 2 cavity with like new handles. He did ship me a mould. I got it out of the box and after about 15 seconds worth of examination decided I wanted my Lyman back. The handles he sent were Lee handles alright. They had been salvaged from a Lee 2 cavity mould! He made no attempt to fit shims of any sort, and the handles being much thinner than real 6 cavity handles allowed the blocks to flop around like you wouldn't believe. The mould faces had numerous dings from the alignment pins. He knew I would be less than thrilled when I received it, so he closed his email account. All I got was bounced mail. Attempts at contact through the Shooters PM system were unanswered. I did some searching on the web and found numerous instances where he had given others the shaft, either by not shipping anything at all or shipping something in lesser condition than was advertised. I printed off all of the comments I could find and mailed them to him, along with a note asking him if a shoddy reputation was worth the few dollars he had taken by being dishonest. Never heard from him again.

I do believe he posted on IHMSA.net under the name 44man . He got to me for a set of dies. Claimed I should send a barrel to be powder coated for the daughter real glad I didn't send it to get screwed on it to. I also think he was on specialty pistols also. A real loser that claimed failing health or death in family caused delay in shipping or lack there of. James

Yes,but. When you have several hundred thousand frauds a year, law enforcement agencies just don't have the manpower and money to deal with them all. Unless it is a very large amount of money or large number of voters, it just falls through the cracks. Even if this person defrauded 500 people, they are probably all individuals who don't know of their fellow victims or any way to contact them and organize an attempt to prosecute. Want to make some money? Start up a victims web page for victims to register (for $10) their defraudment, find others victimized by the same villain, and find a lawyer to represent them in a class action suit or to "motivate" law enforcement to do their thing.

Hi, folks,

Sorry to hear of your troubles!

A friend of mine is a longtime U.S. Postmaster, and he has told me of the Postal Service's
going after mail fraud thieves in his area. He reports that mail fraud is punishable by a 5-year term in Federal prison PER OFFENSE. They usually charge them with only 3 or 4 of the many
offenses the person commits, and get a quick conviction.

Per his accounts, the Postal Service takes mail fraud very seriously, and if any part of the transaction takes place via US Mail, it constitutes mail fraud. He is of the opinion that they WILL investigate mail fraud and it's easy to catch the perps -- particularly if you pay them by US Postal Money Order, as it's easy to retrieve the MO and get their fingerprints off of it. He's told me a number of accounts of successful busts, and you might just be happily surprised that they DO nail this creep, if you will file complaints!

Hope this helps,
John

Waksupi, the scoundrel I mentioned has no relation with any of the fine folks I have dealt with or spoke to from this site . I spoke with dude for a hour on the phone and thought he was a good guy. That is what makes me so PO'ed about the deal, I assumed by the conversation he was legit. I swapped a T/C barrel and dies and brass for same from him in different cal, I got a bare barrel, W/O sights,dies,or brass or excuse for lack there of . I know that a set of sights and dies ain't a fortune . But the mans word should be worth a kings ransom. James:-D

The price was reasonable.
Product was as advertised.


There was a "significant" delay in shipment which had me real queasy there for a while.

The product would not work as stated, but that is much my fault for not doing some of my own homework. (TC Contender muzzleloading barrel is modified to work only on G2 for a reason. I did not know that. and was told it would work on ALL Contender actions.)

Just guessing I would say the delays are because HE is depending on one deal on one site to cover another deal made on another site.

Guess I have just been lucky so far!

Am reading this deadbeat post, and frankly I am ashamed that a fellow shooter/caster would do this. The hammer mold theft post was a let down too.

Could a solution be to have an amount tacked on to a credit card in the event of loss or theft? Like they do at the equipment rental dealers. Maybe that's too complicated? Dues?

Deadbeat Old Fart Hazel Grindle/Maddog 2020
I have reason to believe that the deadbeat known as "Old fart Hazel Grindle" is operating again on this site as Maddog 2020.

On the 15th of last month I responded to an ad by md (Maddgog). He was looking for a 45 cal heavyweight. A deal was struck where I would trade him a Mountain Mold 454375 for a Lyman 225462 SC, RCBS 44-245-KT and a Lee 190HP. I sent him my mold with delivery confirmation. On 1/23 postal records indicated he had received item. I had not as of yet and sent him a pm asking status. He claimed that he had had a toe amputated and that he would be sending items soon. I received a package from md on 1/27 and upon examination found some discrepancies in the items sent. He had switched the 225462 for a 225450 and sent a Lee 432265RD rather than the 45 190 HP. I sent him a pm and he indicated that he would make good on the Lee and would be sending out the proper mold asap. He also went on to say that he had used the mold I sent him and that it worked well. On the 29th of Jan I asked for clarification as to when the mold would be going out and he assured me that he would be sure to send out replacement on the 31st of Jan. As of 2/5 I still hadn't received mold and sent md another pm as to status of mold, no answer was received. on 2/9 I sent another pm regarding status. On 2/11 I got a vague message saying that he had the runs and was delayed. I have sent another pm that he has not replied to. I went through the various posts by md and came across one that struck a nerve. On the second page of posts there was a deleted photobucket picture from "b00mer". I realized I had seen that username before and found it as an alias for Old Fart Hazel Grindle. The moniker he is now using is:

Terry Brindle
143 Miller St.
Gastonia, NC 28052

I hope that you will see to it that this lowlife *** is relisted as a deadbeat.

Sorry to say that other forums do not care what someone does on another forum as long as they do not do it on there forum. But by then it is too late. Someone lost something. Thus I strongly feel that if the people in charge of another forum have been given a heads up on the dealings of one of there members and they take advantage of a member on there forum the people in charge of that forum should be held responsible for all losses by said culprit.

Just like Riverwalker 76 is on The Firing Line forum. They could care less as just like the person in this thread they find a safe haven on other forums. Sad but true. :(

He also lists his addy there as Georgia.

I never buy there and go there once in awhile and look around mostly buy from people here and spotted his same sales pitch there and here and a few other places.I was to buy a 410ga slug mould and found he had it posted elseware Badge was to buy or trade in a deal and wanted him to ship first ,he never did and said he got a better deal elseware.How does he post as Revolverfan2 and Georgia on one forum without the Moderator catching on ?

Fight leads to assault charges for three Gastonia neighbors


November 25, 2010 8:37 PM


Michael Barrett



A physical altercation between three Gastonia neighbors resulted in each of them being arrested and charged on Wednesday.

The suspects involved were Terry Ray Grindle, 55, and Hazel Louise Grindle, 50, of 103 Miller St., and Bobbie Jo Hayes Crump, 40, of 102 Miller St.

The fight occurred on the block where the three live.

Terry Grindle was charged with assault with a deadly weapon for striking Crump in the head with a tire iron, according to arrest warrants. Hazel Grindle was charged with assault by pointing a gun after she aimed a 9mm semi-automatic handgun at Crump, according to warrants.

Crump was charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury for assaulting both Terry and Hazel Grindle with a knife.

The Grindles were each held on bonds of $5,000 at the Gaston County Jail, while Crump was held on a $20,000 bond.

As Dakoma mentioned earlier, I was hot and heavy about a ".410 HB slug mold" from Maddog2020, but I balked when it seemed to stall, and then Dakoma warned me that it appeared item was At Least cross-listed. I persisted and Maddog2020 backed out- said that he'd traded it already blaming ME for dropping the ball. I reported shady practices to 45nut and lookee here; the duck is a duck!

Oddly enough I did a trade with 'smokingguns' here recently, but what I got was not exactly what had been billed, and I shoulda caught on when he switched the trade up ( originally .45-70 brass for .45Colt ammo, then he offered me a 'Lyman 55'). I was flush on brass and could put another 55 to use, so we traded. What I got was maybe a Herters copy of the Lyman, but it seems functional. I'm REAL glad that I opted to not give feedback on that trade.

So is 'smokingguns' gonna get banned?

They probably go to local flea markets, swaps, gunshows, .....and every methhead that steals anything in their area , probably shows up at their doorstep holding out someone else's best stuff.

THis is my first time looking at the deadbeats section. I was ashamed to find that the "grindles" are from NC. And, not too far from me. (less than 2 hrs drive.) If I were able to help, I'd do so. However, knowing the LEO attitude in that area, (my brother lives near the area,) I can see how they don't want to get involved. HOWEVER, now that there has been other criminal charges, a polite call to the DA in the county where they were arrested MIGHT help put this scum away. Next, a formal written complaint to the USPS and filed properly, along with notices of their arrests COULD possiblily get more action.

DukeInFlorida
12-28-2011, 08:39 AM
I would caution you all (y'all, as they say down south) that threatening to do any sort of bodily harm is the basis for the charge of assault. Battery is the carrying out of assault. So, assault and battery is two charges.

Please don't be verbalizing any imaginary assault desires or threats in this forum.

When it was all said and done, I received a firearm that was less than described and didn't receive the $100 that was agreed upon.

I wish there was something that I could do to resolve it, but I don't know where to start.

Does he ever do business out of GA. I saw it was mentioned. If so, what is the address or city he's in? I'll see if I know any LEO's that work there. It's a longshot, but I'll ask around. I'm thinking it might just be mail fraud and out of their jurisdiction.

Assault is swinging at someone. Battery is if you hit them. In GA Aggravated Assault is our term for attempted murder. The terms do get confusing when you look at the different level of each charge. Threatening someone can in GA can be terroristic threats. A lot of this stuff kinda depends on the Magistrate's interpretation and whether the individual involved is a pain in the ***. In small towns, the charges tend to be a bit smaller when they get their head handed to them.

Threatening is the verbal attempt to exercise your Constitutional Rights in most every state.

Not trying to split hairs here but there is more the the definition of "assault"

An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm.

The act required for an assault must be overt. Although words alone are insufficient, they might create an assault when coupled with some action that indicates the ability to carry out the threat.

There can be no assault if the act does not produce a true apprehension of harm in the victim. There must be a reasonable fear of injury. The usual test applied is whether the act would induce such apprehension in the mind of a reasonable person. The status of the victim is taken into account.

"Legalese" I know, but the nuances are important.

jimkim,

This low-life,scum sucker was on this board doing business in the swapping and selling section between 9-16-2011 and 11-20-2011. He was posting under the name "smokingguns" and I was unfortunate enough to make a deal with him. He said that he engraved guns and the address I mailed him at was: The Gun Doctor, P.O. Box 84. Meldrim GA 31318. Meldrim is off is off i-16 about 10 miles or so West of i-95 near Savannah.
Here is some of the things he told me in PM's for being slow to send me the stuff I had traded for:
1- He couldn't get out to his shop. It was raining and didn't want to get his wheel chair wet.
2- His mother-in-law had to have emergency surgery and it turned out to be cancer.
3- He had a bunch of appointments at the V.A.
4- On 11-20-2011 the last time I heard from him, He stated that he had back surgery schedule for the 27 of the month.

While I was in contact with him I saw post after post where he was making deals with other members. At one time he said he had a lot of wood walnut etc. to sale. He was posting all over the place. I even saw one post stating he was a straight shooter. I went back to check after he stopped returning my posts. Everything on the board by him is gone, even his handle. I still have all the PM's he sent me on my computer. I wonder how many others members were ripped off. Take Care,

Wielding a baseball bat, and threatening to take someone's head off in a heated argument is likely to be allowed as assault. If the guy were threatening me that way, and closer than 30 feet, I'd be justified in shooting.

Probably what happened to the guy this thread is about.

But the assault turned into also the additional charge of battery. Battery with the Intent to Kill is a further refinement. And on, and on....

What does that mean? This thread is about a DEADBEAT. We publicize the duds, to keep our membership from getting victimized. I would not hesitate to ship out parts, boolits, or brass to hundreds of the members of this forum, without first getting payment. Would I do that for a newbie with zero posts and no feedback? Probably not. But I have made hundreds of trades, going both ways, and have NEVER been burned.

There are a LOT of great men on this forum. And I mean real men. There are men's men here. This thread in this section is to warn EVERYONE about one deadbeat. I think you took it wrong.

I am new to CB and have just bought a couple of items from the classified list. I am sure the transactions will be fine. I've bought and sold a fair amount of stuff online. I try to be reasonably careful but I accept a certain level of 'disappointment' as the cost of doing business.

Usually it's not worth chasing these people down but one trick that sometimes works is to threaten to file a complaint with law enforcement. Make it sound convincing even if it's BS.

"To inform you that I am going to file a complaint with the Office of Attorney General in my state, X, under the Wire & Mail Fraud Act section 893 subsection 17. Subsequently, I will proceed to file with the Attorney General's office in your state, Y, under the reciprocity agreement between X and Y of 1987..... "

Doesn't always work but twice it has resulted in a money order being sent overnight. :) At the very least it will give the SOB some heartburn :)

Added later: As someone pointed out to me in a PM, this is probably not a good idea when dealing with Grindle. I doubt this threat would impress him and he sounds like a nasty character. Provoking him might cost more than the sum of money involved. My suggestion was a general one.

I think Grindle is a she, so as someone pointed out in a previous post, there are two ways to argue with a female and neither one works. Making a threat of X and Y probabley would not work anyway because I don't think she is smart enough to recognize one.

Had it not been for your info, they might have burned someone here. I found them as docinthehouse, big b00mer & revolverfan2. I have now banned them all.

Keep an eye out for old Terry- I'm sure we'll see more of him.

Would be nice if this were true but you would be lucky to get a file started over an internet sale under $1K. Such activities are almost impossible to track and even less likely to get a conviction. Like the US, we have budget constraints and there is only so much money to fund our court system.

You asked what a "Bump" was in your trading thread and then it came up here so let me try to explain it.

Some people only pay attention to newer threads, or threads with new comments as they are higher in the order of the section. For instance, if you were selling an item, you would prefer to be on page 1 instead of 2, 3, 4, etc. Someone "Bumping” a thread is meant to bring it to page one and catch the eye of more people.

Hopefully I didn't butcher the explanation too much, but please ask if you have any more questions and welcome. Careful though, this site is addicting.

Wow.......I read that link with my jaw hanging open. I had that exact scenario pulled on me many years ago by two good looking young girls dressed in somewhat "revealing" outfits. I was working on a customer's phone line in the woods of northern California when this Chevy pickup pulled over and the girls gave me that exact same story, i.e. order refused for some reason, boss told them to sell it cheap, etc.

Now, why they would pick a phone man in the middle of nowhere to try and unload this stuff is beyond me, but I looked the items over (a band saw, shop crane and some other stuff). I already knew the retail of comparable items as I had my own shop and received trade papers all the time, so I realized their price was ridiculous.......plus I really questioned the quality from what I could see. None of it passed the "smell test".I did them a favor and referred them to an auto shop whose owner had stiffed me on a repair job once. They departed, waving and winking.

That was easily 25 years ago, so they've been around for quite awhile.

I also found a post on on esite where supposedly him and his wife had been arrested for fraud at one point, but he is active on the trader again. I have found myself more than once clicking on his post and then realizing who it was. I avoid like a plague. I have seen him list casting equipment as well as TC stuff. Fortunately I have never had any dealings with him thanks to others that have pointed out his questionable dealings.

A number of years ago, I saw bullets on GunBroker cheaper than I could buy lead, all cast, lubed ready to go.
I bought a bunch, about $200 worth. Never got them. Neither did a bunch of other guys, like about 15.
one of them knew the drill and persued it. The cops got his computor and found child porn and proof of the mail fraud.
The guy is serving out his time in Virginia somewhere.
I never got my money back, nor did gunbroker give a rip.
