Earlier this year I decided to order an X-kilt from one of our members (DRipper). He seemed like a young man new to kilts and eager to make his own and his samples looked good. So I placed an order for myself and a friend and wired him the money (my first mistake) and waited. And waited. And waited. Finally I got a hold of him and he told me there had been a problem with his material supplier and he just now got it straightened out. This was another red flag as he had not told me any of this in a month of waiting. Finally he claimed to have the material and he would be getting started. Then no contact…ever again…no matter how much I tried to contact him. Finally I contacted PayPal and tried to get my money back. Turns out DRipper kept me on the hook long enough for PayPal’s buyer transaction protection to expire and I would never see my money again. Beware this member. He is a “ripper” alright…of me and my friend’s money. He was supposedly making kilts for other members and if any of you have been similarly ripped off, please post here as a warning to others. From now on I will only be wiring half up front and even then only to reputable members. Remember to use PayPal’s buyer protection and get your money back within 30 days if there is no contact. You can always resend money but if the seller takes it and runs you will never see it again after 30 days. If anyone doubts this experience of mine I have numerous emails to back it up and more. Trust me, DRipper is not to be given your money or any benefit of the doubt when it comes to your money.

All the best,
Hugh
