I got him Jeff I got him by his shriveled little balls!
I ordered a 2001 42" Orion shuttle from Scott off of Ebay on Sept 24, 2016. I made the silly assumption that since it was on Ebay that it was already cast and ready to ship. Wrong. I still don't have the Orion after numerous promises to ship "next week" or "tomorrow" still nothing.
I realize that Scott is recovering from a stroke, but how can you accept orders and not fulfill them. Of course I waited too long to dispute the purchase with Ebay and now have no recourse but to wait or threaten to get my kit.
If you look at Scott's Atomic City forum, you will see an outstanding order thread that shows some people waiting over a decade and not receiving their orders.
According to his Ebay feedback he filled one order for an Orion that was placed after mine. I guess that person must have disputed the Ebay charge and got the next casting that he finished.
I guess the only way to buy a Captain Cardboard kit is to get one from a third party that actually has it on hand. Do not order from Scott directly or you will be sorry.
PayPal gives you 6 months now to file a dispute/claim. You still have time to file one..
If you used a credit card.. you may have even MORE time.
I'll have to investigate this further. When I initially tried to file a complaint Ebay said that more than 45 days had elapsed and they could not do the money back guarantee.

Again (as some asked above) how much does he owe you? What kits are you out of?Its fine if it stays open. I encourage everyone to file a report with ic3.gov Even if its years old please file. After enough reports have been submitted its going to raise a flag somewhere and then a agent will begin to look into it.
I can't do anything remotely more than I have. People have to become the complainant before someone goes looking. I hope that makes sense. Nothing was taken from me not a dime.
The basic story was I was in the market for a kit. Like I always do before I send money to a stranger I do research. I started finding thread after thread of people having issues. I eventually found my way to his forums. I was amazed at the list I found and the prices I researched for the price on the kits.
That is when I began to ask him for a picture which never happened. In the end Scott did email me and said that the message I should have taken away by him not sending a picture was that he did not have a kit. That from the time I asked for a a kit and picture (Jan 2016) and (February 2017) he had sold the kit to someone else.....meaning at least to me he never made another one to take a picture from. Insinuating that I always just missed a kit so he couldn't take a picture. That I was not the only person he was doing business with.
This is when I put two and two together that he was running a ponzy scheme basically and I began to get pissed. I dont like to be taken. I dont like other people to get taken either.
If anyone even hints that I am in the wrong because I actually did not loose anything is someone I will put on my never do business list. So if thats you speak up now so I know never to buy *SH&T from you.
I encourage you do file a complaint. Accept your never gonna get that kit you paid for 17 years ago 15 years ago 13 years ago or 6 months ago.
Seems like I always join a forum were someone is breaking the law it happens all over...I have a wide range of hobbies from Arcade machine collecting pinball video games cars Rc stuff etc etc etc. Lots of those forums always have stickies of know people plastered all over. Surprised there is not a giant sticky for Scott at the top of this page. Maybe its cause he is banned but I think its time he be brought front and center and made to account for his actions..... Maybe me publicly rustling his feathers will cause him to pay up.
