Lolz, I’m sorry this specific scam/nonpayment is boring and not spicy like the others.
Originally I was posting to bring attention to the issue in hopes of that helping get it resolved, and more recently in hopes of getting potential insight/feedback.
In that regard I’ll attempt to ignore the brigadiers, but I am looking for feedback.
- There’s no missing info I’m aware of.
- The guy knows he owes me money, attended meetup(s), is in contact with pcfers, and accidentally answered one of my phone calls.
- This is the only communication I’ve received from him in the year and a half (from a month+ ago):

I understand
@JMC9389 response of chalk it up to a loss, but that seems strange since it’s not a full scam/guy disappeared overseas/etc. situation.
Outside of regular PMs, FB PMs, texts, and phone calls, I’ve now replied to him on LinkedIn and messaged his brother (I think).

I don’t think these are egregious messages or cross a boundary per se, although I’m very uneasy going outside of PCF to try and resolve this.
Given that Nate knows about this thread, is actively ignoring/ghosting me, is in contact with PCFers, etc.,
is the consensus that it’s okay to continue down this path of outreach, or is there an unwritten rule that what happens on PCF stays on PCF? Is there a certain threshold of $ or time where it’s okay to use more pointed outreach mentioning the debt (eg if someone owed say $5k or it was 2 years past due)?
It seems like we’re missing some huge piece of the puzzle, but I have no clue what it is nor why Nate wouldn’t just message it to me, or one of the pcfers he communicates with.
I understand my reputation grows worse every time I post in this thread and the longer this goes on, but I’m in uncharted territory in a bizarre situation and looking for feedback (not pitchforks).
