Org member took advantage of me

[Poppy]

Talk to the mods and see if they can/will intervene. If it cant be resolved they need to be outed before he screwa another member.

If its been a year fhe odds are there is little intent to pay

See post #46......

Wow, I really hate to hear this kind of thing. I'm gonna keep the rest of my thoughts to myself....

Hope all works out for you but after a year and now you are not getting a response. I would maybe take the next step and air him out. It's such a same when people take advantage of someones kindness.........

First off, who in there right mind would trust someone in a forum to loan them money or whatever else, just plain stupid and vulnerable.

sleepless_red have you ever even met Brian in person? because if you have not then all i can say is good luck.

I know he sold the Bike to a Member on the board, and also know someone helped him out with some OEM wheels to put back on the bike after selling his Forced Alloy wheels he had on the Bike.

Is that really necessary here?

[Loomis]

Or so he said? All he talked about was being back together with his daughter? If he's in Thailand who's watching the daughter? Last I remember he told me on the phone he was thinking about going back to NC from Mo. This was after the sale of 'Ripley'.

Brian I'm surprised, no I'm shocked this be you?

The point of this forum is to help people. TONS of ppl on here help out each other every day for no reaosn other then because they can. Red did nothing wrong, he may have been nieve but his heart was in teh right place and has no reason for another member to take advantage of him and definatly doesnt deserve to be called stupid.

Unfortunatly this is a lesson that shouldnt have to be learned. Now a good member is going to be sceptical (with good reason) on ever helping out another member. SHOULDNT BE THAT WAY!!!

Unfortunately, the generosity of the oRg is sometimes taken advantage of. Its the nature of the beast. It will not sway me from doing anything different, I will continue to help however and whenever I can. Ultimately it is your choice to help a fellow member.

No, its not necessary but maybe sleepless_red will think twice before he does something like this again. Just trying to understand why anyone would loan someone else money without never even meeting them in person.

[busastalker05]

Wow unbelievable! I know I personally have ask for help in ways OTHER than financial from the org. I just can't imagine stealing from someone on here. Baffling.

Sleepless_red, you got a big heart. Don't let one bad apple change who you are. You got some good Karma coming your way!

Help people?? Giving them money???

Helping people with knowledge? yes
Parts you no longer need? yes

Money? NO, i don't think soo unless you want to learn who your real friends are that you have never met before.
lol, i am not that vulnerable.

Whoever said it was actual money? Could have been hotel room, rent a trailer, anything. We don't know, and I'm sure Sleepless has met this person beforehand anyway, hell he's got a million miles on his 'busa, can't be too many people in the world he hasn't met. You haven't been around here long enough to call ANY ONE of the members on this site stupid, or pass judgement on someone YOU'VE NEVER MET..

Okay, but that's what paypal is for.
I am sure sleepless_red is a great person and everything else but c'mon lets use some good ole sense.
1 year is a looong time to wait.

[PocketRocket]

The bad/ weak/ lazy people will always try and take advantage of someone else. I got taken ( not by a mamber) not to long ago on a vehicle..
I always seem to forget that there are crooks out there. But Karma catches up ! Karma is a B....

[sleepless_red]

Thanks again for all your support and yes, I've met him before. I just want to let you all know that I'm one of those people who are always willing to do what I can to help other people, not just members of the .org. That's just how I was brought up. Also I've been helped by members here before so I'm just returning the favor. Big E, Djxtrodinaire, and Blanca are part of the reason why I'd still help those who are in need. I know they will always be there for me when I need them and so as the other members on here. Too many names to mention but you know who you are.
Just to let you guys know, I will still be here when you need me. Maybe not when it comes to money but I'll be here.

[dadofthree]

I'm sorry to hear that. You seem to be one of the good guys. Hate to see the good guys get screwed over. Let me know if there is anything I can do...

Hold on . Good guys always get screwed over.

Same here.

[dadofthree]

Well, well. Time to call 911. Breach of Trust. Tax returns have come and gone and you have been neglected long enough. Rest well in the county Bum. Hope your cell mates a big ol' girl
