    I will share my first bad experience in trading in silverstackers! I bought this 10gram perthmint gold certi from this guy Hectorthehero and he is suddenly gone.
    This is his post : http://forums.silverstackers.com/to...erticards-sealed-as-new-460-inc-shipping.html
    I negotiate with him and agreed at $450 price including delivery. He did give his bank account details and I just realise that I am transferring the money through my combank but I short on writing his account numbers and got the money back. When he informed me "Good morning Sam,
    My experience is if you do a transfer within the banking hours as you have yesterday the transfer should have appeared in my account already. So far the money hasn't appeared perhaps you could check the account details you transferred to for your own benefit there may have been an error.
    Then during that day also I made over the counter deposit to his stGeorge account.Since then he is suddenly gone and never online and ever response on my message at all.It has been 2 1/2 days and tommorow will be the third day and I will report him to police with all chat information I got.I have contacted few administrator here asking me to be patience.
    Any Other advice from experienced members here will be helpful?
    As I already send him the last warning that I will report him to police tommorow and let police take care this issues.

    :(

    1. $450 is not the amount to cause run away for the person who"s been with forum for 2 years (even 100 times that amount not worth it)
    2. it is weekend around the world ...
    3. you can send 10000 warnings but if something bad (I hope not) happened to the person and/or he cannot access his computer then it doesn't matter.
    4. relax
    5. if he scammed you (which I highly doubt) there are people who traded with the guy and will be able to assist you

    The trades is done on Thursday afternoon my friend and he told me that he will keep in touch in me. But thats not the case, not even a response since I have paid the money to him.
    Any other useful advice will be grateful???

    Dont worry.

    Since youve accused him of scamming you Im certain he will respond to your allegation.

    I wish he do respond to my emails/pm.
    I am just hoping a simple response from him. eg. Yes I got the money,As I am ill now.I will send the gold by next week or any other simple response not to make me curious .
    Anyway I will give him 24 hour to response my email/pm before reporting him to police on Monday.
    But anyone know him in person could inform him and I would be very sorry if ANYONE could prove me I WAS WRONG .

    I guess police officers will laugh at you when you say that you payed on thursday and haven't received the coin yet )))
    don't make yourself look stupid (though you 've already done a good job at it)

    as I said, relax! drink a little (if you are allowed by law) ... go talk to a girlfriend ... enjoy weekend!

    I am not expecting to receive the coin my friend.
    I am expecting a certainty of knowing that I will receive the coin with any simple response from him.
    You misunderstand me as this happens when we are communicating during the deal and he suddenly "disappear" although he said before "HE WILL KEEP ME INFORMED"
    Is he keeping me informed by not leting me know anything in almost 3 days?

    I bet you $450 dollars if you wait a few days (let's say 4) you will hear from him and you will get what you paid for :) breath in.... Breath out... Relax.....

    lol 5amzz you're new here and not familiar how things work, dont jump to conlusions especially when you are talking about a member that has been here a while and has a positive trade feedback (which was visible when you bought). Hope everything works out for you and i'm sure it will, but hopefully you learn a good lesson from this episode
