Do not do any business with "Rudeco". He has scammed me this week. I bought a SG3 from him, and have not received it. He claimed that his fiance "lost the tracking number". Evidently he is unaware that is interstate commerce fraud. From what I see now in his "for sale" post, he also scammed another person.
His name is Colton Lane, and his e-mail is colton.lane11@yahoo.com.
Be careful!!

BTW, he won't even respond to my e-mails.

His post: Samsung Galaxy S3 16GB for Verizon, used 3 weeks.

Seriously man? I'm sorry. I hate people like this guy. Just ripping good people off. I'll bump this up to make sure people see it.

If I woulda known you were looking I could have sold you mine once I get my iPhone 5 in.

Good luck man. I hope PayPal has your back.

I wonder if you can get an administrator to trace the ip address of the posts and maybe you can figure out how to contact him, and possibly file a class action suit

Man that's horrible. I am always so nervous about this. I bought my son a pair of those way over-priced headphones on ebay and just knew I was going to receive a broken pair. Turned out ok though.

I hope you guys get your money back.

He almost got me too but I held out for willistheyounger transfer to go through. Sorry buddy.

Anyone who has been victim to this guy needs to file a complaint at www.ic3.gov, it's a joint task force used to combat scumbags like this guy. If enough people are scammed they will will get the fbi to go after him.

Contact PayPal and file a dispute. Contact your bank. You can file a fraud charge with your bank. Since money is taken from your bank definitely call them

I have done some digging on this guy his paypal email he gave me is rg.boat@yahoo.com the name was Robert Gampolo I found his address and phone number on the White Pages website and also found his Facebook page if this is really the guy then he is really fu@*ed because I will be in contact with the police up thewe in Ohio. I. have bought and traded with people on these fourms for a few years now and never thought this would happen all I wanted was a Sprint Galaxy S3.

That guy that spammed you posts in the Optimus V forums all the time. He has an Optimus V.... all his posts (like his name says) are rude and unintelligent. I don't mean like a typical noob (that's forgivable), but he posts the same stuff three or four times after we already explained it can't be fixed.
