Anyone know Parafumar?
 
If you know him, I would appreciate a PM. I paid him for some cigars over a month ago. I have tried his email, and no response. Unfortunately he hasn't been on since a few days after I paid him. I have all but given up on ever getting the cigars I paid for. I learned my lesson and will never use P-pal gift again. Well just wanted to get this off my chest so I can start the new year off fresh :tu

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
You won't get them. I'm 99% sure he's a known scammer yet me try to dig up something.


EDIT PM Inbound.

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
I know he is scammer from another sight and supposedly was running for public official. I will try to procure more intelligence for you.

Bill86 12-31-2010 08:36 PM

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
I got him covered Scott. But yes I remember where I saw that name....Definitely a known scammer.

Just looking to help Bill. CP is where I heard about him as well

If I am not mistaken, this is him on Facebook.

I think it is him but I am not certain.

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
Thanks everyone. I left him negative feedback. I checked before doing the trade, hopefully I prevent someone else from making that mistake.

Wow, let's elect another crook :td

Any reason a known scammer is not banned here? I wouldnt think someone on the "scumbags list" is really going to a good fit for here, then again it is an asylum ;)

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
He's a scammer. Theres a huge thread on another forum about this. I think Bills got you covered!

Yes, but not if you use "gift" or some of the other methods. Thankfully I was only buying 10 cigars at what seemed like a good price. I am only out about $90. Lesson learned. Unfortunately for him, I have friends who will now have him on their radar.

I also paid him over a month ago and got nothing.

Yes, because today is the first time any of this has been brought to our (The ToE's) attention.

I guess I should have said "Any reason not to ban him?"

Thanks Icehog!

Now we investigate and then try to reach out to parafumar, Bobby. You and anyone else who feel you got stiffed on CA by him please PM me the details, including any PMs from parafumar.

Also, a link to the WTS thread would be helpful. :2

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
E-mail sent to Rick (parafumar) to try to resolve this. Please don't turn this thread into a flame fest, just post if you are affected or have some knowledge of Rick's status. Thank you.

icehog3 01-05-2011 12:57 AM

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
I received an e-mail from Rick today. He said he just got out of the hospital after an extended stay, and hopes to get all cigars out later this week. He asked me to pass this message along to the Asylum.

Superbad 01-05-2011 11:54 PM

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
Thanks Tom.

No contact from him. It is not looking too good on this one. :td

No contact from him either.

Reply from Rick to an inquiry if packages had been sent:

Quote:

I’ve got them all packed, but I’ve been snowed in since Monday (we don’t do snow and ice in TN like up north). Planned to send them then.



Anyway once I drop them off I plan to send out individual DC numbers to the guys. I’m at the mercy of the road crews getting up the ridge to me though.

If he's in middle Tennessee, he is absolutely correct about getting out! Yesterday was the first day our mail actually ran/could get thru to our house this week. This wasn't a snow problem in Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia. It was 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice, then 4-12 inches of snow, then another 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice. Until the melt started today, I could walk on top of 6 inches of snow, and the ice layer would only crack if I kicked it in with a heel of my boot! And, in the south, they just do not have the equipment to deal with this kinda mess. I don't know the seller involved here, but, just backing you up here, Tom, from someone stuck in this snow mess. Thank God for the global warming that will be happening over the next 3 days!

The good news is at least he is in contact with Tom via email about the situation.

I won't be at all sorry if global warming finds its way to Chicago soon, Cliff. :r

Why would you make such a comment? Do you have a dog in this fight or prior experience with this seller? If not then your commentary is neither appreciated or necessary. :bh

I am not. I was just informing the people following the thread, that despite his assertions to Icehog3, he has not contacted me.

It would be nice to keep this open for the affected parties to deal with this, but we will shut it down if it turns into this BS.

acarr 01-24-2011 10:31 AM

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
Has anybody had any updates about this? I still have not heard a word.

icehog3 01-24-2011 10:40 AM

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
I have not heard back since 1/14.

Tio Gato 01-24-2011 05:02 PM

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
Sometimes good people do bad things. Sometimes good people find themselves in situations that they can't control. Sometimes good people can't do the right thing because of personal difficulties, even if they want too. Maybe this brother isn't well, he's said he'd make it right. He should get the benefit of the doubt for a while.:2

icehog3 01-24-2011 06:34 PM

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
He told me a month ago he had been hospitalized, Jeff. He also told me he would have them out in a week. Two weeks later, he said he would have them out that week. His "benefit of the doubt" is starting to run low. :2

Superbad 01-24-2011 06:42 PM

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
I just don't believe he has any plans on making good on this. He could have contacted Icehog3 or better yet, Acarr and myself. To let us know the deal. I think he is just another scammer, if he makes good I will retract that statement, but at this point it doesn't appear likely.

icehog3 01-24-2011 06:58 PM

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
It is a shame because we can ban him from the Asylum for not making good, but that won't help Bobby or Andrew get their stuff. It is inevitable though if he continues to ignore his obligations.

Superbad 01-24-2011 07:10 PM

Re: Anyone know Parafumar?
 
Tom,
I appreciate your help. The thing that bugs me about this, is not the money, its the scammer who came and sullied "our board" (Actually the ToE's, but you know what I mean) and tried to wreck the good vibe here. By taking advantage of the kindness between members here.

I still love this place.
Thanks for everything, Team of Eleven!
