    this just took a VERY unexpected turn. he just asked me to take the pic down again, ending with "please". I said "i will if you answer why you took my money and then refused to answer my legit and polite requests for a shipping update". he said "I'm sick. lung cancer. not looking good. everyone got a refund". (which is a lie, i had to go through my credit card company). 

    i then asked "what was with the i know where you live business?". he said "alcohol". and then apologized for everything. 
    Man, I’m starting to get whiplash, lol. I want to stick to my usual policy of giving the benefit of the doubt but I really don’t know what to think anymore.

    If he is suffering from cancer then I honestly hope he’ll get better but if he’s lying about that fuck him. And there’s not really any way to confirm either way.

    no, you're right, there isn't. it was such an about-face. it was shocking to me.

    he said he's going to get his wife to send me my stuff. not sure why he'd do that, since i already got a refund. i'm a little wary of opening a package from him, to be paranoid/honest.

    Don’t blame you one bit for your apprehension.

    Obviously no way to know for sure about the cancer, if its true its very sad, but not a valid excuse for some of his behavior. The alcohol part is certainly believable, Maybe also some other factors at play but not going to speculate.
    Anyway glad he apologized, this thread is quite a read. I wouldn't worry about opening a package, cause my guess is it never actually gets sent.

    yeah, I'll be shocked if he sends it. I'm betting no as well.

    just a picture he posted of himself on instagram. i found it on google, and saved it and posted it. you can't post anything to instagram without a picture.

    He got me for $107 and has ignored all messages via email, Facebook, Instagram, etc. he blocked me from his personal page on IG today. So I made a huge post calling him out on Facebook. When one of my friends jokingly asked for his info, Dave posted it himself. His address and phone number. Then when I asked him to give me a reason why he’s ripping people off, he went silent.

    i have no reason to believe or not believe him; just a hunch, but i don't believe the cancer angle. he just seems like a slime.

    Holy shit this is insane.  Did you contact the police where he is located?  They would at least make a visit and ask if he's serious to put the fear of the law in him.

    no, i didn't think it was necessary, and his "threat" wasn't explicit. I actually looked it up to see if it was worth it. if i receive any packages from him, i may take a different route, however.
