I traded my main 3x3 to pitbull001, and I was expecting a 5x5 in return. Its been about a week, so I PMed him, he was banned from the site. I PMed pjk, but I have gotten no reply. What should I do? I don't have a 3x3 :(
 
Tbh I did think it a little strange that he offered you a vcube 5 for your 3x3 that you said you had modded, yet he didn't even question what you had done to it. I would contact the moderators, see if you can get hold of his details. If push comes to shove, you know his address.

I probably cant go over there, but im guessing hes a child that is poor and has to scam. Somehing that would amuse me is to send some pizzas over there, and they will have to pay.. MWAHAHAHA. But really, i miss my main :(
 
Take his last name plus the address, use them to try and google up a phone number. Call it, talk to him politely if everything is Ok you can get this moving again.

If he's being a scumbag steve and says your cube wasn't as good as he thought or he needs more for the hypothetical 5x5 tell him the deal is off. Email him a shipping label from stamps.com (you can get one with tracking if he sends it or a refund if it's not used and you cancel it)

If it's as you suspect and he's just a kid scamming, call back later and talk to his parent(s). Be polite and even gentle with them - you don't want to hurt them and this may hurt on some level. "I'm sorry to say this mr./ms___ but" and then tell them what he has done. Tell them you want the cube back. They may or may not believe you but a great number of parents (poor or not) value honesty and will make their child make reparations and apologize. Prepare for a less than steller apology from the kid, have something biting ready to say to such an apology.

I'd just like to say i believe it was pitbull001 who was spamming ads for some site yesterday evening

Edit: oh hes banned. Yep its him. I suggest you wait a little but if you must, find some way to contact him, maybe by post.
