ghoulsandgoblins AKA Greg Caviness FFFF Terrible Kid

Hello,

I bought a WMP Nightstalker mask in the classifieds for $200.00 from a cracker trash whore named Greg Caviness. His username on here and on WMP is “ghoulsandgoblins.” I Bought the mask on June 14th. It’s now July, 21st.

Got this on June, 21st.

“anyhow my grandparents are gonna be put in a rest home. really hurts me man i tell ya. ill be home tomorrow morning and get your mask shipped out bro! btw i was gonna tell ya im putting up my nightmare blank for sell. the eyecuts, mouth slit and nose holes are there though. i was gonna make it into a real fleshy tone h1 type. but now the green is needed bad cause of car problems etc. so ill sell it to you…for $100. you seem like a real cool fella. everybody else on here $150. it will be shipped out with your ns h1. thanks bud”

I didn’t want the blank. Noway was I going to hand Greg anymore cash.

Later ended up learning that Greg had scammed our own member Tom, AKA “coldsnakevenom” for that very Nightmare blank.

Anyways, Greg never replied back to me. As I had already figured. I waited again, anyways.

Nothing come in the mail. Days went by, another week went by.

I sent this to Greg on July, 3rd.

This been sent yet?

Greg finally opened it up on July, 13th. Never replied again. Typical punk move.

Thing was that Greg was changing his Facebook profile photos everyday. He had time to take photos of himself aplenty. On July, 19th. He changed his Facebook profile to the new “timeline.” He forgot to add to his “timeline” how he scammed two members of this forum for almost $400.00.

Also, Greg forgot to mention on his “timeline” about his poor, poor Grandparents. You know he used his Grandparents name in vein. Another punk move. He could’ve at least acknowledged on his “timeline” that he went and seen the new Batman movie with his inch worm girlfriend, with my money. You probably bought a soul ram, too, huh, Greg? Was it black? Did it have a Batman logo on it? Noticed your “timeline” profile photo is that of your hero, Batman.

TBH I was really not pissed off about the money. it comes and goes. I was pissed off more about the time, lies, and drama this boy has caused me for over a month now. Time is precious to me. And, No, I’m not going to his door. He’d hide behind his mommy, and call the cops. He’s a punk. Punks act like that. After all, his parents must’ve raised him to be a scam artist, and a punk. Maybe Greg should tell mommy about Grandma and Grandpa?

Thank you to Derek and the moderators of this great site. Michaelantern was a class act. Kaizu, you, too. Nothing but great moderators here. Nothing but class from them.

This terrible deal will not stop me from collecting. I just want all you other members to pay very close attention to Greg. As once a scammer, twice a scammer, he’s clearly a deadbeat scammer for life. He’ll try to comeback. They always do. It’s who they are and what they are. At the end of the day. You are who you are, and Greg is a lowlife scammer. He’s probably sitting alone in a room with his camera, conjuring up scam ideas at this very moment.

And, tonight. I won my claim and Paypal paid me back.

I’ll leave you all with this. Taken from a Steely Dan song.

“Little men With stick pins Leave you high and dry.”

This is Greg. Keep in eye out for him.

That,s how you do it right here! I would hate to piss u off :smiley: ! And he used his grand parents as an excuse! That,s horrible. It,s really stings since your so on top of your shit like when u get the cash u send the item right out every time and u know i,m the same way and when this happens it almost ruins you But now we have his name we got his a-- and he shall never B again.

Great to hear you got reimbursed, Brian! Nothing irks me more in this hobby than the overwhelming number of low-life scammers, who ruin it for everyone else. I’ve been collecting MAD magazines and memorabilia for about a decade, and have never been scammed once. Not sure what it is about white masks that attracts the deadbeats.

Anyway, glad to hear things finally resolved in your favour. As I said to you before, at very least your telling of this experience will probably save some fellow collectors from getting screwed.

Here’s a little tribute video Brian made for Mr. Caviness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6vNlyxJQno&list=UUYssiHZzJ44-wSzLtR45GCQ&index=1&feature=plcp :mrgreen:

Glad you got your money back Brian! I guess Mr. Caviness will have to find some other source of income for his porn and cigarettes addiction.

Thanks for the head’s up on this guy.

He’s got an ad on page 3 advertising the Nightmare blank for $150. Hopefully a mod can remove it before some newbie gets taken by him.

I believe he took somebody on the blank 2.

i dont get people, like why would you scam ina hobby like this? it just ruins it for other people. but great video, sure he will verry much appreciate it :laughing:

He nearly had me on that Nightmare Blank,i made him an offer on it and he was more than happy to accept it without any attempt of a counter offer,alarm bells started ringing straight away to me just on that basis alone,i made him aware i was in the UK and would shipping here be an issue he said no problem,everything seemed too easy if you get my meaning im very thoro when im negotiating a deal with anyone especially people i consider unknowns who i don’t know from adam on here and i guess he grew tired of my questions lol because his final reply was i can’t ship it to the UK it will cost too much and i need the Green quickly,this was after 3 days of negotiating lol.glad to hear you got your money back man im just glad he replied to me saying he could no longer do the deal he saved me from getting burned also.

This guy is a complete scumbag, unfortunately I trusted him and now I’m down almost €200. It’s put me off buying from members in a big way. I think I’ll stick with companies I trust from now on. And I would also like to thank the great mods on this site, they’re the best of the best. Just beware of this scum and make sure to spread the word.

i feel the same way, but i know which members i can truly trust, those are the ones i will continue trading and buying from. i usually stay away from people who seem shady. companies are a bit better though, a lot more trustful.

Thank you to all that have replied and looked at this thread.

I’ve been on vacation and had no time to comeback here with the replies that I got during that time.

I had asked Chris Morgan of WMP to also look into this situation with Greg, and try and help. Keep in mind that Greg deleted his Facebook friendship with Chris Morgan three weeks ago. Chris responded back to me with this…

Chris Morgan 4:42pm Jul 24
Brian,
well we tried to help the situation and come to a peaceful agreement with him and get you your mask. he was rude and just flat out unreasonable to talk to. he told my wife to “FUCK OFF” then we banned him.

Also, I got these PM’s from Greg via Facebook. After, Greg either deactivated his account or closed it. One of my friends on Facebook, and I had took it upon ourselves to PM all of Greg’s “friends” on Facebook to let them know of this situation, and watch out for him. I was asked by Tom, MMnet member “coldsnakevenom” to stay after Greg. As Tom is owed money still to this very day. Anyways, I’m sure that Greg noticed he lost a few “friends” along the way. However, did that matter much? After all he was the one to delete his “friendship” with Chris Morgan.

Anyways, below were the PM’s from Greg.

Greg Caviness
“thanks for all the slang there man. im gonna refund your ass dont you wori bout that buddy!!
itll be a few weeks but i damn for sure promise your ass that you will get it back through paypal!!! so dont you wori”

4 hours later… A new PM…

Greg Caviness
“hey bro you know what…you seem like a fucking jerk. but anyway you got your dough back so good for you!! mr. drama king putting all that shit on mm.net very lame man, LAME!!!”

My reply to you Greg.
Why you even on MMnet? After all you took money from members of this community. I’m not your “bro.” Never have been, and never will be. Thanks for calling me a “jerk.” I don’t mind that. After all Michael Myers was called a “jerk” in Halloween 1978. Think about it. There’s nothing “LAME” about me exposing you for what you are. You took $200.00 from me. You have a nonchalant attitude. You also took another $200.00 or so from another member of this site. It took me 37 days to get my money back. Calling me a “drama king” is quite funny. You’re a drama “QUEEN” taking my money, another members money, no replies to my PM’s, using your “grandparents” as a “LAME” and sh*t excuse, you wouldn’t even reply to my Paypal claim. However, you had countless time over that month and a half to take photos of yourself and play on Facebook. You’re a scammer. I had to expose you. Deal with it.

I’ve given up on trying to get a response from this guy. All I want is my money back. I’ve been as polite as possible with him, even after he stole my money but nothing I’ve tried has worked. Everybody, just remember to steer well clear of this tool.

Damn what a White Trash douche! He,s out of the bath Salts he spent the money on now and has to live with the fact he,s over and he knows now he messed with the wrong family :butthead:

First of all let me say you did a FANTASTIC job on handling this and getting your money back, great work man!!

I love it when the good guys win.

Thanks for the kind words as well. We are all SICK of these scumbags scamming our community and I’m sure I’m speaking not only for myself but for Derek and the rest of the mod team when I say getting rid of these low lifes is on the top of our priority list right now.

Amen Benny,Tom im so sorry you weren’t able to get back your money from that two bit Scumbag.you work your a** off for that hard earned money but that is of little importance to this POS.

HEY HEY HEY…GHOULS AND GOBLINS HERE. So let me just start off by saying to anth0777 and coldsnakevenom that i am sorry for what took place. yes i am a scumbag and all that other nasty stuff you guys said, for doing that scammer act. i do feel remorse for what happen and im gonna refund you guys soon…i do have your addresses and i will take care of these down right dirty acts that i did!!! sorry guys!!!

I do wanna say one more thing real quick. that me and chris morgan were never friends. hell he didnt even respond to my messages that i sent him. hell even a guy that im friends with on youtube told me that he was a total ass to him when he got his nightstalker.he would be real rude and straight up awful! so heads up on that one. o the so called 75 kirk hair that mr.morgan keeps claiming to be putting on his myers masks isnt nothing more than reg mohair. i mean come on chris that hollywood so called story you whipped up in 30 minutes about you have a friend and owns you a favor and has a machine that can make the hair or come close to it. come on dude thats bs and you know it!! so come clean!!!

also…thanks chris morgan for keeping me in the dark for 7 months on my nightstalker h1 mask. thanks bud your such a bff!!! :unamused:

Mr Greg Caviness (Or Christopher Jones… we never were able to determine his real name…) was banned from WMP on July 23. I was made aware by another member here that Greg had taken payment on a Nightstalker but had never shipped it to the buyer. This member asked if I knew Greg or could take action against him on my site. Since the transaction did not happen on my site nor was I party to it, my wife who is co-administrator of our site reached out to him. Below are the PM’s that followed and his responses are the reason he was banned. I would not allow his language or attitude with a member of our site, let alone my own wife:

Now then, to address Mr. Caviness’ concerns about the wait time and communication. ALL communication regarding orders is handled by my wife via a form on our website, by PM, or via email. We make ourselves available in multiple ways to our customers. This is standard procedure for each and every single order that is placed with us. All of my customers can verify this information. If Mr. Caviness tried any other way to contact me, I was not aware of it.

In addition, during the time Mr. Caviness was a member on our site, we had an “Order Status” thread on our site that was constantly updated. Here is a link to it: http://whitehalloweenmasks.com/board/general-discussion/4172 This thread has since been locked and we have a different system in place for notifying our customers, but during the time Mr. Caviness had an order out with us, this was the method of communicating where we were with outstanding orders. Mr. Caviness ordered his mask on 10/31/11. During the time he had an order out with us, he sent two emails to my wife (one on 11/3/11 and another on 11/10/11) inquiring about different finishing options. After that, we had no communication from him for months. About 3 months after he ordered, he sent us an email notifying us of an address change. We confirmed with him that we had updated his order with his new address. Then, approximately one month before we started work on his mask, he indicated that he had a financial hardship and asked to have his pre-paid order refunded. We indicated that we did not refund orders, but would instead offer two options. 1) we could make the mask and he could sell it off. 2) we could make the mask and sell it off for him (at the time we had tons of customers wanting a Nightstalker as it had just been retired), and then when it was sold, we would give the money back to him.

Since the Nightstalker had been retired and was in such high demand, he elected to keep his order and did not express any dissatisfaction or concern at the time.

During the making of his mask we had great communication via PM’s with Mr. Caviness. He was a pleasure to deal with and indicated to us that he was extremely pleased with the mask he received. As far as we knew he was happy with his purchase and even posted photos of his mask here: http://whitehalloweenmasks.com/board/general-discussion/5369?p=57261#p57261

Regarding the hair we use on our masks… Mr. Caviness has an opinion. We did, in fact have our hair custom color AND fiber matched to hair that was used on real don post masks back in the 70’s. This entire process has been documented on my forum. WMP would be happy to answer any questions that our customers have on the hair. Mr. Caviness never asked us any questions regarding the hair. In fact when making his final decisions on what hair to use on his mask, he specifically asked for our kirk hair to be used.

If for whatever reason Mr. Caviness or any WMP customer was unhappy with their purchase, a copy of our return policy is included in each box that we ship and is also posted on our website. WMP has a 100% satisfaction guarantee and we welcome our customers to contact us within 14 days after receiving their mask to address any issues or problems that they have. We will fix it or make them a new one after receiving the old one back. Mr. Caviness never contacted us with any concerns.

In closing, until his PM correspondence on July 23rd, Mr. Caviness was a welcomed member on WMP and had regularly contributed to our site since he had become a member. I see his feedback of me, my company, and our business practices to be nothing more than sour grapes surrounding the events leading up to his exit the community last month. “TheJerk” can feel free to contact me privately to discuss any additional concerns he may have.
