User connors5674 (sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/user/54488) is a scam, or more precisely a non-shipper. He's a real person: Joshua Connors - sent photos with real swords, username and date, is on PayPal, and even has a consulting site linked to his account, etc. - but never shipped post payment and has ignored a dozen emails. Payment sent June 1, and he's been ghosting since. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt for weeks, stuff happens, but after 28 days, it's safe to assume the worst.
Emails associated with connors5674: Connorsj5674@gmail.com and lizdavid1503@gmail.com.
Shikata ga nai.

Totaly agree, this guy is a scam. Listed a Hana as perfect condition, Sent me a crap blade with chips in the edge and solder on the Habaki. Sent it right back and a week later no refund. Acting like i damaged the blade... Guy should be removed from forum. Wish i had seen this.

People like that really make my blood pressure go up, people like that are exactly the reason people don't want to buy from forums or online from private sellers anymore, it ruins it for all the sellers period. Since a lot of buyers are newbie buyers if they get a real bad deal their first time they are automatically going to think that's what it's like for the majority of the sellers and it's just not true. I don't think it's a legit seller though probably just another pakistany trash scammer, their all over everywhere like a legit plague but this forum, however it sounds like their making a push to infiltrate this forum with the recent problems it can't be a coincidence, to some degree I would think. Be very careful who you deal with folks it only takes once and your out x amount, I know way to well on that.

Especially because the community as a whole is generally honest people who want to buy and sell swords. Usually it's obvious when someone's a scammer from the outside like prince of Nigeria spanish lottery obvious.

Sharing your actual experiences regarding a buyer or seller is fine so long as it is done within the Rules.
Implying that an entire nation or ethnic group has some reprehensible trait is a violation of the Rules. Such comments are not acceptable anywhere on this forum.
Before posting and regardless of your intent, be certain that your comment does not violate the Rules. sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/18656/quot-rules

Except Pakistan isn't a ethnic group it's a country, nor did I even remotely say Pakistan as a whole. I said Pakistany trash scammer as in a reference to the international criminal rings in Pakistan scamming people across the world, or in other words referencing a specific set of criminals committing crimes in relation to this, specifically sword sales. How did I even remotely say ethnic group or entire nations? Did I say people of Pakistan? Would it be better if I said the Nigerian princes? I mean really. A ethnic group is a specific group of people within a territory with a specific culture, like the Zulu's of Africa, did I say the Kalash tribe of Pakistan? Im pretty sure I didn't, and I have nothing against anyone, but thank you for your reminder.
