Early spring of last year, several of our members trusted the name and reputation of a longtime member and entered into some business transactions.
They got shafted. One member was only taken for just $20 and after raising some stink non-stop and continuously, was paid his money.
The other two members have not been nearly as fortunate and are out a more substantial amount. One member is out $340 and the other is out $250. The circumstances under which this has occurred are infuriating and becoming more so as more information and individual experiences are being shared.
The background can be found here: Playing on the family name to hose the membership. (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?261733-DEADBEAT-quot-Bullshop-Junior-quot)
This thread is NOT about bashing or beating up on this deadbeat but instead about asking those members who might feel moved to do so to contribute monetarily so as to right the wrong, so to speak.
At present, between pledges and paypals, we've got a little over $250 on the $600 debt. When we've reached the amount owed, I will cease accepting donations and make a public announcement to that effect. When all the funds are received, I'll make arrangements with the two affected members to forward the funds to them in whatever form or manner they prefer.
We have had deadbeats before. They are nothing new. What is different with this one is that a previously "good family name" from longtime membership here was used to generate confidence, good will and generosity to someone who obviously has not either earned it nor deserves it. The result is that two of our valued members are out a substantial amount of money.
To any member here that may feel moved to help in this effort, please feel free to PM me for my physical mailing address or paypal address.
Thanks.
