Scammer Alert beware of bowmanchrome Robert Donahue

kobe824 · 10-08-2011, 09:14 PM

Beware of the following blowout member: bowmanchrome

Robert Donahue
2 Sepulga Dr
Browns Mills, Nj 08015

The eBay ID (hotcorner2980) he puts in his profile is not his. I spoke to ebayer hotcorner2980 and there is no connection between the two. I just agreed to a trade earlier this week and the guy sent the cards that were suppose to come to me back to his self. I tracked them today and he dropped them in the mail and they went right back to his address and is not answering any PMs. Please be aware. I will pushing this as far as I can go with some of my lawyer buddies. I hate people like this.

jfreeman · 10-10-2011, 10:51 AM

I sent him cards last week and now he is not returning any PMs. I sent a exquisite Colt McCoy and I feel after reading this I am going to get scammed as well. Please let me know if I can help get this settled and take this guy down..

You should??? You mean you won't, but are putting you should!? Yeah, you shouldn't post anything about being close to that guy, and that you won't do anything about it. There is nothing commendable or compassionate about what you just said.

Wow, that's quite the dramatic analysis. Why are you reading so deeply into the semantics of a post that seems fairly straightforward in nature? How would ACTUALLY dropping a bag of crap on this guy's porch help this situation at all? Not only that, but if he really was going to do something covert to this fellow, it would be pretty stupid to admit it on the internet, especially on a site that is probably still frequented by the named offender.

Indeed Jim.

It was clearly a joke, meant to lighten the situation regarding fellow member(s) getting shafted for cards/cash.

In the words of The Joker and the Bills Stevie Johnson... Why So Serious?

???? bad day or do you know this d-bag?

kobe824 · 10-12-2011, 07:44 AM

Everyone whoo has been ripped by this guy check for your card on eBay and see if a guy named VINNYSCARDS is selling or has sold it and let me know

jfreeman · 10-12-2011, 01:06 PM

Talked to Vinny, he bought it from a New Jersey card shop called "SportsCardsNuts." Owner's name is Ted and I talked to him.. very nice guy and bought the cards off of Robert Donahue at a local card show. He gave Donahue his card and said that he told him he would contact him or stop into his shop when he comes across more cards. Ted told me he would contact me with any additional information. I will keep you updated as well.

dcmike · 10-12-2011, 02:34 PM

from what I can tell his last name isn't Donahue, it's Berg, and he's 25

His mother Joann Berg owns that house according to public records

edit: if that's all accurate then its this guy

Lol and I'm the one taking it literal.... I meant, either DO SOMETHING, or DON'T DO SOMETHING. Don't say you should do something and then don't do it.....

Fact is, you really SHOULD do something, help the guy out you live so close by.....

Vegas · 10-12-2011, 02:44 PM

Amazing how vinnyscards all of the sudden ended a few of auction early.. If you search jfreeman threads the cards he buys or trades are on vinnyscards ebay.. Sounds fishy to me.. And the last thread by jfreeman is a smoke screen imo..

jp98 · 10-12-2011, 02:45 PM

I think I may have dealt with this user before? Not sure.
