Kahn, Danial aka firehawk, firehawk2, danvoodoo3, etc.. Lives in Houston, Texas. Traders
BEWARE this ethically challenged person. He's been
passing other good traders evals as his own(at least 2 that we know of) to help convince others to trade with him. Even has used another traders name for shipping to him to make his lie look better.
Has used anothers evals to get 2 people to send him a laptop first and once received he was suppose to send them payment. In both cases he lied and said he can't pay them. He still owes one for over 3 weeks and all he gets back is khans typical lame lies. He has a
LONG history of not sticking to promised shipping dates, making lame excuses and changing a deal after it was shipped.
DO NOT TRADE WITH THIS LIAR!

Plus he sent the admin here several very nasty and threatening emails. Still is having bad and questionable trades. Has a website: endlesspleasure.net

Coupled with missed shipping dates and giving bad DC#'s to quiet the buyers, until he finally got around to sending out the items. We now know two traders, who have received his damaged goods. When one contacted him about the item's condition, he was rude towards him, and blamed it on the shipper. He said that it was insured for $150, so it would be covered by the post office.
