It is an unfortunate fact of life that there are always some people who abuse a trust-based system such as phonecard trading by the Internet.
The people below have been reported as not honouring their end of a deal on more than one occasion, and should be avoided.
If you have experience of trading with any of these people, either good or bad, please do not hesitate to .
This is an e-mail I received some time ago concerning a disreputable trader:
Dear Craig, I'm writing to you to ask you to put on your black list Sabrina Castagnin from Uruguay. This nasty person and I agreed on trading 19 postcards for 19 phonecards and I sent the phonecards using registred mail as she asked me to. She got the phonecards in July 16, 2001 and from that day on she played fool with me. I hate to bother, so I only send remembering maisl each 2-3 months. Each time she replied she was going to send and nothing, until November 2001, when she told me that sending what she owed me "wasn't in her priorities right now". I answered that I understood the economical situation of her country, but to give me a date of sending so she replied that she will do in January 2002. I e-mailed her 1 week ago to "remind" her, her debt to me and she told me she was going to send. But today, March 30, 2002 she told me that I was spaming her!!!!! The info about this person is as follows: Sabrina Castagnin Tupambe 4774 Montevideo 12300 Uruguay |
Ahmed Haleem of the Maldives has also failed to send cards after receiving payment for them. Attempts to contact him have been unsuccessful.
