At this point..if we do not hear any response from Richard, I actually believe its because hes not around, in poor health, out of the hobby, or on vacation.....nothing to do about him being wrong...

I find it hard to believe he knows about this discussion and wouldn't respond.......basically I sincerely doubt he sees this discussion and did something wrong and thus hes not responding..

if hes around...whether he was wrong or right we will hear from him for sure.......my three cents..

There's no way you could come to this conclusion if you had read all of Ian's posts. At least read all the information before throwing an opinion out there.

I did read...many people have said that the seller has been legit...no other problems identified by any other member....one isolated incident..........I am just making an opinion......people to go into bad health or life happens..its not always intentional fraud......I don't know what happened for sure..i just giving an opinion of another option....his name has only been posted for less than a day.....maybe we will hear from him....

So you read that Ian needed timelord to fill out a bank form. And that timelord told Ian that he wasn't going to comply with the request. And then quit responding to him at all. And you think its more likely that timelord got sick than is just ignoring Ian? Doesn't seem like a very logical thought process. Which is why I assumed you didn't read all of the information.

Thank you, Luke.

This, from one of Ian's earlier posts, for me, anyway, completely eliminates the possibility that this is just a case of TimeLord "getting sick" and ducking out for a while.

I sent him an affidavit for check fraud that he needed to sign and mail in. I sent the form with a pre-addressed and stamped evenlope so it would be easy, but he told me his lawyer and a Wells banker had told him this form should never have been sent to him, and that the bank took it from him and "destroyed" it! WTF?!?!? My bank's fraud investigator said a branch teller should have never said or done anything like this and asked me to get the branch's location from him. He did not respond to that question, nor has he responded since. This was 3 weeks ago. My bank has since sent him the same form directly, but as far as I can tell he's ignoring the process.

good points...never shown the emails ..but taken to be true I agree it looks really really bad for him. I have just seen it happen before that after someone owed money or didn't do what was promised getting scolded and it turned out that person died so the person doing the scolding felt pretty bad so nothing is ever 100%.....

Yeah, I'll give him a pass on this one if he's dead...

Well something is wrong if he's not willing to work with Ian and the bank to make it right.

I would think he would be trying his best to remedy the situation so that another person is not out a large sum of money and would be trying to help in any way possible which does not appear to be the case.

+1 To me, this is it.

Curious And your basing your opinion upon?_______ You fill in the blank.

I think timelord is a pretty common dr. Who reference so it's perfectly possible for it to be a common user name.

[batsballsbases]

Ian,
just a thought if you now Google his name that you posted (Without changing the letters in some way) His profile comes up but also this post with all that is going on, on Net 54 Before there is and outcome I.E. Legal you might want to re think that in some way..

Yes, and that's why I've edited my posts. It may be mere coincidence. Absolutely I agree with that assertion. But the more things that two posters on different forums share in common, the less likely they are different people.

So far, we have established three things in common: the user name likely references they are a fan of Doctor Who. We know both users like sports cards (though as of yet, from different eras). That alone would be a weak connection.

But when you add a third element, the Philadelphia connection, now you start questioning if the user name is a coincidence, or they are the same person. There are a lot of cities in America, and for two people to live in, or have an affinity for the city of Philadelphia, collect sports cards, and be Doctor Who fans...at that point, you have a slightly stronger argument. I would still like to connect a few more dots, obviously, but it's enough to at least warrant digging deeper.
