He never sent me anything either for the giveaway I won. I think he was looking to get free stuff. I understand he has been banned.

Damn, I was one of the winners of his last giveaway. I last spoke with him 2 weeks ago. He told me I'd get it within 7-10 business days, but it's already 12 business day...

He never gave me a tracking number either

Forgot to mention that I think he was running multiple accounts, so some caution is still advised.

Maybe the address you gave is legit, but then again maybe not.
Perhaps the mods of the forum can find a way to verify who we are, that way it may help preventing people from scamming others?

I was about to ship out a trade of helis until I read this:

and this:

Kkressman is a trustworthy member, I have traded and bought from him.

The message I sent to FluffyChinchilla calling the trade off is still in the outbox, meaning he never even planned on shipping the plants to me.

This person (a kid, really) has already had multiple red flags across multiple CP forums using multiple accounts:

-Claiming they purge their PMs to get out of a giveaway
https://www.terraforums.com/forums/carn ... ost1218916
-Lying about getting harassed through PM to the point where their parent had to get involved and deactivate an alt account
https://www.terraforums.com/forums/gene ... ost1218915
-Impulsively buying expensive, hard to grow plants on a whim (not a crime, but it's a repeating pattern)
i-despise-my-hamata-all-offers-will-be- ... 45216.html
when-you-you-know-accidentally-buy-an-u ... 45295.html
-Scamming trades and then immediately posting them for trade/sale elsewhere
https://www.terraforums.com/forums/carn ... folia.html


Again, this person is apparently quite young, but there's a certain level of maturity expected when interacting with adult growers that I don't think this person can handle. They (and their alts) already been banned from TF after again having to get their father involved to complete a trade.

I like this idea. I didn't even know such a thing existed.

After reading his post on the terraforums, his choice of words and style is really similar to everything that he posts. Which is in a way, obnoxious. Good riddance. If it comes to it, there's a way to perma ban them through their IP address. That way, it doesn't matter how many accounts he makes since it'll all be automatically banned.

kkressman is a solid member and I have successfully traded with him for very nice plants. Believe what he says.

Just a cautionary note to everybody that it is very easy to use different IP addresses. I won't publicly state how to do that here as a precaution.
