Hello fellow forumites, unfortunately there is someone possibly scamming people to buy swords that won't be shipped. Apparently they have also been trying to sell the same swords that have already been paid for by others who have not received them. This is currently happening on facebook but since some here are also on fb or might know fellow sword collectors who are, I just wanted to cover all bases.
Please read and please share, especially if you are on this persons contact list or know someone who is. thanks.
"Hey all, unfortunately there seems to be trouble that some sword community members are having with receiving swords purchased from Thirdd Esguerra Buscayno's brother/family. I know from other sources that it is extremely difficult to have swords shipped out from the Philippines but these members have also received no tracking info and now seem to have been ghosted by the seller.
Until further notice, please don't respond to or purchase from anyone using Thirdd Esguerra Buscayno's account or anyone trying to sell his swords from the Philippines. I really hope this gets resolved and that someone from Thirdd's family reaches out to me or the ones that purchased already to resolve this.
For now, I would recommend sharing this post with anyone you think may have been on Thirdd’s contacts or would be interested in purchasing katana, to warn them in case they are not aware and didn’t see this post. In addition, I would urge all who sent money to report the account to the authorities, via PayPal or other organizations or personal banks, as well as on government sites.
If anyone in the Philippines has any helpful information, feel free to contact me but please don't do anything that would put yourself at risk.
I sincerely hope the people involved either get their swords or are refunded from the one they sent payment to or at least compensated by their money sending service. If anyone else has had an issue, I urge you to contact paypal or whichever service you used immediately to see what, if anything can be done. In my personal experience with getting scammed using paypal, I called them and they refunded me without any issue.
I am truly sorry that this has happened but please be careful whenever sending money to people you don't know or trust. I will update this post if I get any new information.
Please be aware if anyone is asking you to purchase the following swords. If you see them for sale anywhere, please let me know. Again, please share this post to help warn others."
