Urgent Scam alert (PLEASE READ)

I thought that there was a listing somewhere of all the scammers and their various AKA's and Ebay handles? I wanted to add a couple of scammers there myself!

feminine hygiene product, great reference

I haven't kept up on other scammers much I know they all use that trading card trick on ebay for the most part, I heard some of the prices behind the commissions he never produced and honestly I would never work that cheap couldn't even cover the material cost nore time spent crafting, so to me 170 bucks for a hand made Arc reactor or custom super man leather boots isn't even worth the time invested, sounds like a con job to me if youre trying to profit.
 
Between this and MasterLe, we're having quite the exciting week on the RPF...*sigh*

At least everyone right here, right now seem pretty cool....
 
I'm sorry the hear that thing about the broken helmets, you see why I had to get away from this ironman builder drama for those few months, you get labaled as a ironman builder you just become a ego disaster or worse, I love the designs and was a fun project but you can't just build one thing reguardless and worse, like le he lies about materials he uses or who really makes them and when I called him out on it and suggested a real plastic that works people told me not to rain on his parade and kiss his *** I know TMP complained about me not kissing *** , cause any time I did post trying to be helpful, I just got in trouble I'm very serious and very honest and some times I say things people dont want to hear so rather then lie or be a kiss *** I keep to my own, if any asks me about material info or suggestions I've always done my best to answer them, other wise I stay out of every one elses business and out of trouble but I still post here and there when I can.

I take my work serious and the business of it even more and I'm quite sick of all the crap on these type of forms, there's no thin line between talent and show boating like a attention ***** this isn't face book this is a forum for professionals and nice tutorial work or information about materials and builds, if you have to post a full thread of you touring a city as ironman (just as an example) I'm sorry that's sad it has nothing to do with the project or the process which is insulting to all of us that love the work and process the only people I see showboating just are exploiting the work of others taken credit anyways.

Not trying to be mean but I'm a little pissed about all this crap this use to be a honest profession, I'm sorry about the rant but I think we all need to vent.
 
Sounds pretty legit to me!
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and you have a pretty sound one.
I think its alright to show case your work, which is completely different than flaunting it!!!!
 
You two are absolutely right, the main reasons I come to the forum is to be inspired by other peoples builds, not put down by them. I like learning from other peoples techniques on their own builds and the different ways they go about constructing a curtain prop or suit. Sadly there are alot of big egos on this forum, but luckly there are some awesomely nice people too, who are always willing to help.

Some of these "big ego's" out there wont even reply back when someone needs help or they'll be all vague with you.

But like I said there are some really helpfull people out there who will always take the time to reply to P.M's and even write a short tutorial for you :) and to those people...

I salute you :D

Dark your right we all need to vent :)
 
Just seems like this is a hole that keeps getting deeper even after the digging has stopped even beyond this situation I've delt with and other's I can't help but think there is no honest trades any more as people still exploit any and all forms.

There is a huge difference between showcaing and flaunting that is true if you have a full thread dedicated to a project a guide to the project to me that's what this type of form is about how to do what was done start to finish,showcasing a little is fine, but to start a new full thread about a world tour or something that has nothing to do with the progess and is out side the original threading is just asking for comments and ego boosting what other reason could there be and worse part to me is people fuel the fire giving the boost, it's just un professional in my opinion, but showcasing wasn't the right word you are right there.


Also the other day I was told that word has it a guy name Angel is now claiming he's making ironman suits, but this might be a raw deal Robert as made before hand I don't have full details yet but if anyone has any more info about this let me know otherwise I guess it's a heads up, I do know this was a guy Robert was in contact with.
 
Heard from a friend of mine that the scammer dude is still up to his tricks.
This time he is using his facebook account apparently.
Name is under Robert Tovani
 
I figured it was only a matter of time once a bottom feeder always a bottom feeder, but I just hope enough people read the forms and can keep a heads up about not doing business with him or even giving him the benifit of the doudt.

Thanks for the heads up I sure hope people are smart enough to not fall for anymore of his and any one else like him's scamms, lies or, tricks but I imagine that's asking for too much with people like that still out there.
 
i think your large font was not necessary at all.. but i appreciate the heads up, and i hope you can resolve all this.
 
All newbs who necropost should be hunted down and beat with wet noodles until I am sufficiently amused.
