    Damn, shady guy huh? And then we had him gloating over his ripped designer clothes on live lol
    What a shitty situation, I could understand if these things were like $50 then it wouldn't be as bad of a problem.

    What really gets my goat. Is that he knew I was a disabled vet living on my pension. And how hard it was to come up with that much money on the spot was a choir, many a missed meals just to make sure my stuff is done in my truck. Yet, he did it anyway. A year later, hundreds of dollars short. My truck is half finished as I dont have the harnesses to finish nor the skill to do it at a level I would be happy with. There is a special place for people like that and it is in a cage with DAESH.

    Yea that is pretty fucked. Finding out now that he waited until the last minute before paypal would force a refund to respond so the 45 days would pass and people couldn't do anything is fucking retarded. There really is a special place for fucktards like this.

    :rofl: If only. Then I could have tried talking him into being a human being and not a scumbag. And then I could have gotten away with kicking the shit out of him.

    And a few of you thought I was a piece of shit for posting the info from the Virginia Crime Blog about a year ago...

    I was able to detect that Mike was a scumbag a couple of years ago.

    It's unfortunate that quite a few folks have been conned... Hearing the individual stories behind each person's background only makes Mike's actions even more egregious.

    Seems that he has all but vanished from every forum that he used to frequent. However, I wouldn't put it beyond him to be able to mask his identity and engage yet again. He was extremely proud of the fact that he used the same screen name on every online community that he frequented... A simple search for "Skygear" turned up everything from TW and ExPo, to scam and Dark Web oriented forums; a couple of them colorfully illustrating how to steal CC info, etc.

    I don't garner that there has really been any collective effort to bring this matter to the authorities.. Yet, as others have stated, the collective monetary fraud may not readily get the attention of a local court or law enforcement agency.

    Based on a few of his posts regarding past interaction with LEOs - he has and will forever be on the police radar... Further, his talk of air rifles, guns and knives would make me a little weary of initiating any sort of witch hunt.

    There's almost an underlying fascination in wondering about what really drives this dude to do what he does. He's obviously a career criminal; and exhibits some psycopathic behavior.. Judging by his amount of activity and research that he posted on here prior to his name going into the shitter, TacomaWorld was a huge part of his life, perhaps even bordering on an obsession. I guess those that were screwed can seek some solace in the fact that he fucked himself out of being a member of this community.

    Its about time youve come around and seen the light! How many times had we tried to tell you otherwise!?!? And all we would get from you is how we were crybabies that couldnt wait for anything and that he (sky) was diligently working to get our orders out. Man you really struck a nerve with some of us. Thank you for finally being on our side!!

    I appreciate the offer and would take you up on it if I where close. But alas I am in The South Eastern US nearer to Chatanooga TN.

    I received an email from him tonight. I am posting his response in its entirety. I pretty much asked him what was up and that I would be seeking legal means if I did not get within two weeks.

    "
    I am completing your order and will ship monday. Apologies for keeping you in the dark. This week I have shipped 2 and 2 more are being built as I type this. By no means am I attempting to take advantage of you or anyone else. Friday I had a little extra money and refunded a client. The last of the outstanding orders are being built/shipped/worked on. Restocked on power wire last week/ and all components are in hand.
    "

    I told him if so I would require a shipping tracking number. We will see but I am not holding my breath. I though it would be of interest to those who have not gotten a response or anything to see how this plys out and that at least in the end every six ir so months I get a response. Like 1 to every 20 of my emails.
