A post like ZombieTom suggested would've been sufficient. Getting ripped off sucks, but this is the internet and that's the risk you usually take when buying online and dealing with individual makers. Also, the BIGGEST thing new guys are missing is that this isn't the HMA, where you have a community mask board, this is Justin's board, and having threads that look like trouble will reflect negatively on him. But, if you consider me a 'hall monitor', that's fine. Just giving you fair warning, and I'm sure the mods would say the same thing.

DEFINITION OF FRAUDIn the broadest sense, a <b>fraud is a deception made for personal gain</b>. Fraud is a crime, and is also a civil law violation. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"<_<\" border=\"0\" alt=\"dry.gif\" />

Wow i cant imagine being screwed out of that much money. Def a nice heads up thanks

[🪦 travsall ●]

Nope, not a bashing post at all, consider it public service announcement and hey, if a guy took you for a grand, try to be kind and polite, ain't gonna happen

[🪦 SimmonM ●]

I don't consider his post a bash as well. I'm in a similar situation with a different artist so I appreciate the heads up.Good luck to you and I hope you receive what you've paid for.

He's a scumbag. He has owed me a part 4 glove for almost a year as well. I've just left it alone, as I know he's not going to send it. But I have his cell # in case you need it. Hit me up in a PM.

I don't see this as bashing. I do see were some of these threads become that. But there has to be a place somewhere that you can let other collectors know when this happens or it just helps the one doing this continue to do it to the rest of us. I don't know the answer as to the right way to do that. But I feel the honest collectors should be allowed to watchout for eachother. Just my opinion.

I am new here and I am glad you are warning us about a seller who is not being an honest person and taking peoples hard earned money. I don't get how they do it to people. Quite sad.

Earl is definitely right.. SERIOUS collectors need to look out for one another..Unfortunately rules can very easily be taken out of context by one member here who has to much time on their hands. For everyone who understands and has supplied me with more contact info on this guy and words of support and kindness, Thank you.The real collectors here really need to stick together and be there for each other..This hobby is hard enough without people screwing other people over for their own personal gain.We cant have people like our hall monitors in here complaining about these kind of posts, We need some kind of feedback system built threw this forum..This Mike Becker guy is a whale though. He has taken numerous people for thousands of dollars for his personal gain..SO with what Travis said OUR MODERATOR!!!! This is not a bashing post. so everyone please keep this post factual and if anyone else has had issues with this guy PM me for personal info on him and also feel free to PM me with any personal info you have on him.Thank you very much to the people lending me support and the moderators understanding for the real issue at hand here..we need to get these people exposed so we can slowly get a safe hobby back..-Matt

We don't have a feedback system on this forum. If you guys want one, make your own website. I have no problem with someone warning others of sour deals but this topic is now treading a fine line. Now you guys are more or less bashing each other which is against the rules. John and Travis are both right in this topic, but like I said, there's a fine line here. This topic is closed before anymore arguments ensue.
