so, as some of you know, i am currently in afghanistan and will be for a year. i bought this ms 650 from this dude in ohio for a really good price. $350...i guess it is true that if it is to good to be true, it probably is...

this is what i posted on craigslist about him! i will keep reposting it everyday if it gets flagged, i really would spit in his face if i could!!

!!!!Beware of seller...Fraud Alert! Ordered a product from Josh Mcclanahan over craigslist...it never showed up and of course I can't get ahold of him. He works with or for R & N Tree Service and stole $325 from me. I have a receipt to prove he got the money, but I have no stihl MS 650 chainsaw or tracking number to prove he shipped it to me. Beware of seller...Fraud Alert!!!!

SCREW DISHONEST PEOPLE !!!!!! >:(

Thanks for the warning boobap.  That really sucks.  I hope someone catches him some day.    People like that are sad cases full of hate and anger.  Don't worry he will get his just rewards some day.  People like that tend to hang out with the wrong crowd.  Just wanted to say I wish you luck on your money and give you a hearty thanks for serving our country.  Stay safe out there and hope to have you back soon.

There is 3 Springfield's I think in Ohio. One of them is right close to Columbus and about 2 hours south of me. 
Shoot me some info in a PM and make sure I have pertinent info so if I call them to ask where MY 650 is at.  ;)

Kevin, take Al along with you for the ride and make a day trip out of it. Stop and have some BBQ for lunch.  8)

I hate to say it, but I cant find a R & N Tree Service listed in Ohio. Maybe they are smaller and dont advertise.

Did you pay by M.O. or check and have physical address you mailed money to?

Al_Smith

If you paid by postal money order and have the receipt you might advise the seller that use of the US mail for fraudulant use is considered mail fraud and is a felony .

boobap

I'm an idiot and payed by paypal...the only reason i did is because i am in afghan! i have no physical address, but i know it is in the dayton/springfield area.

File a Paypal complaint for never receiving saw?  It will take a little while but if he don't have proof of shipping and tracking to your delivery address, you should get a refund.

Sometimes if your paypal was through your credit card you are covered there too.

boobap

I tried that originally, but A. it has been to long now and B. paypal will not refund especially if it wasn't for a product purchased - meaning i only sent him the money to his email address, so to paypal it was just a money transfer...$%#k, @$$...i am so *pithed i could shot a Talib!

Ok, so i just got this email in responce to the post I have on craigslist about this guy or guys...

A Josh McClanahan (and a Vincent Ris***) just came to my door from R&M Tree Service (of course we didn't answer the door) but they left a card.  They looked a little shady.  I checked them out on the internet because they looked weird and stayed alittle too long at our door, even though we weren't answering it.  On their card is a number: (937) 398-4497.  I hope this helps.

I would avoid this guy/guys and their services!!!

Boobap, I hope you get it straightened out with this son of a b****, people like that are real leaches on the the decent people in society, I hope that you get whats yours.  Good luck to you, and come home safe.

got another email from an earlier contact...also send a fairly in-depth email to the springfield chief of police...

"After I sent you an e-mail earlier today, I actually did call the police department because of your fraud alert. I told them he was driving a bright blue truck with wood rails or side panels.  I also saw where Josh was charged with stalking a woman and Vincent was charged with theft and complicity, all in Springfield, Ohio.   Vincent was sentenced to 90 days in prison for theft.  This information is all on the internet.   By the way, Josh is listed as the owner of R&M on the business card he left and Vincent is listed as the sales rep.  Good luck in tracking them down!"

I think we should have a collection for Boobap, considering that he is overseas protecting us. I just don't know how. Any suggestions?

don't you dare do that...i am not looking for pity, just spreading the threats around. i do appreciate the gesture however. does anyone have a nice running 650/660 laying around for $325?  :D if i did that after this, the only thing waiting for me from my wife when i get home is an empty house with my current chainsaws beaten to pieces in the middle of the floor  :D

by the way, here is another (different supporter of the cause)

"Hey,
I saw your last Fraud alert you posted and i looked up the criminal records of Josh McClanahan. The only thing i found on his record was driving under suspension but that doesn't mean their couldn't be more elsewhere. That was only in the city of cincinnati. This is the link that i looked on http://www.courtclerk.org/case_summary.asp?casenumber=/06/TRD/56457. I was thinking maybe you could email the last person that sent you the message that stated that this guy came to their door and ask them if Josh McClanahan was white and if he appeared to be around the age of 22 sense that's what it says on the criminal record. I know this isn't much but hopefully it will help a little. If their is anything else i can help you with than just let me know, and i mean anything at all. I want these guys caught just as bad as you do. I have had this happen to me before also."

the support on this is great...i know it does not blong in a chainsaw forum, but it originally started as a "threat warning" if you will...

Also, if I have not said it befor, thank you all for the support while I/WE are over hear. I really does help a lot!! :)
