User "CoinDan" disappeared (with my pieces). Does anyone how to contact him?

5 posts
Hi everybody,
during this winter I arranged a swap with "CoinDan", from California, US.
I had a hudred of tokens/fakes/medals that I don't collect, and he was very happy to get them, offering me recent US commemorative coins.
In February, after I sent my parcel (and only after that), he told me that at the moment he didn't have money to ship the coins (!!!), and that he had to wait April 1st.
So today, starting to hang up to have been cheated, I tried to write him again to get some news, but I discovered that meanwhile he unsubscribed his Numista account.
His previous feedback comments were positive (I'm based on them to start the swap), but this guy turned out to be a scammer, although quite friendly and nice (scammers are so very often, unfortunately).
Please, could anyone who had a swap with him in the past give me his e-mail address, or his real name... something that could allow me to contact him.
Thank you in advance. Cheers,

Davide

​Hello
I apologize for the delay I have overlooked the request
I am probably the last to have SWAP from a CoinDan member

Hello Ivan,

I am so happy you got them and are pleased with the coins and gifts. It has been a pleasure swapping with you. Wishing you all the best up there in the beautiful country of Canada!
Yours in coins,
Dan


My experience is positive, although there was a delay from Dan for his personal family reasons
If you have the supplementary questions so PM to me.

Hello Ivan,
thank you very much for your witness.
Dan was very kind and friendly with me too, giving sometimes the impression of being naive and easy to enthusiasm.
However, he was always a bit elusive about the coins to give me in exchange (I left him to evaluate/quantify the "value" of my exonumia pieces and to send me the corresponding amount of US commemorative coins... that's why I sent him my pieces in advance, trusting him blindly). Probably he knew he would never send them to me...:(
At a certain point I realized that I was always the one to solicit news, especially after he admitted that my pieces arrived to him, but showed no hurry or solicitude to prepare his parcel in turn. He promised he would send me the coins in a couple of weeks, as he would collect the money for paying shipping costs... so I understood he was in troubles. In fact I had no problems to understand his situation and to wait more and more, but his recent unsubscription from Numista clearly indicates that he decided to definitely truncate any pending business in this site (and in particular the one with me), and to disappear at all.... :(

Thank you again,
Davide
Hello
I'm sending a personal PM.

Hi all,
thank you for the interesting info you are giving both here and in private messages.
I just want to fix a thing I wrote in my original post, namely my request about his name: actually I realised that I had it already, since he gave me his address to make it possible for me to send him the pieces.
Then what I needed is his e-mail address, that one of you already provided me with in the meantime (thanks a lot!).
Of course, if any of you has further info, such help will be very welcome!
Thank you again,

Davide
