I have an admin role on the GPStar Facebook group. Back in March, I was contacted by one of our users regarding Edward Ray Sexton Jr. In February, Edward had attempted to post a for-sale ad in our group for a pair of Mack’s Factory wand grips. As soon as I saw the post I removed it for breaking two of our group rules (1. General modding posts unrelated to GPStar belong in general modding groups; 2. No sales posts without first reaching out to an admin). Unfortunately, the user who reached out to me saw the post before I had a chance to remove it, and reached out to Edward via DM to purchase the grips.
They paid on February 27th. On March 3, Edward’s mom was in the hospital. On March 10, Edward was “down with a really bad virus.” Oh March 15, they were “shipping out tomorrow”. On March 17, they would send the tracking number shortly because “they just got out of the shower”. On the evening of March 18, they were “sleeping” but “will have it [tomorrow] morning…[their] mom is really sick.” On March 23, they “have had packages take forever [to be delivered] before” but magically couldn’t provide a tracking number to show it had actually been shipped.
I then reached out to Edward the same day, March 23rd, interested in purchasing their Mack’s grips. The very same ones that they had already sold to our user and had purportedly already shipped out. Magically, Edward still had them for sale, ready to ship out immediately with freebies!
I then told them that since they clearly still had the grips on hand, they should actually ship them out to the person who had already purchased them. Instead of doing that, Edward then reached out to the user they had scammed, said they would “send it out Wednesday at the latest,” and told them to, quote, “stop slandering my name”. Not shockingly, they never shipped the grips.
This user and his alternate account “Dusty Spengler” have been permanently banned from the GPStar Facebook group for scamming members of our group. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, stay far, far, far away from this individual.
