Scammer Alert: TRV3Y

bad_american1992
Mon, 18/10/2021 - 17:44

Judging from recent comments it sounds like TRV3Y has caused quite some damage here and ripped off a considerable amount of people. In July / August he said he would send me a Deep Purple: In Rock patch twice, neither one ever arrived after I paid him and a month of waiting. And from the comments it sounds like other people had identical problems with him.Anybody else have bad feedback on this guy? Or good experiences? Please highlight them here so no one else gets taken for a ride.

UPDATE: The Deep Purple Patch actually arrived! Postmarked Oct 20th, so two days after I made this topic. Thank you TRV3Y I appreciate you honoring your end of the deal. Hopefully everybody else can get their patches too.

That piece of shit scammed me too! Bough a Venom Seven Dates red border when he said that he was “out” of this, and I receive nothing till today!!!!! If someone see him on US, please, send him a kick in his ugly ass for me. Report it to PayPal and hopefully you and the rest of reliable people can get his money back.

Shatafaker666's picture

Receive my full money back. Satan bless Paypal.

doctordeath's picture

fantastic!

Demolition_hell_hammer's picture

Check his profile,I think he had a couple bad feedback reviews but now looks that got worse scamming to people ok this Destruction patch! Btw, I also asked him about Deep Purple patch like a month ago and never answered me

Spectrum's picture

He was an arrogant all the time, Since the first time he looked like a stupid rich kid with no Friends trying to have the rarest patches for insane prices, but I doubt he listened to these bands. So sad for the people Who ripped off.

Demolition_hell_hammer's picture

This!

A nameless ghoul's picture

I bought the leprosy patch off him for 20 bones he got mad at me blocked me on all platforms and he didnt send it out. His reasoning(cause i annoy people) im aware of that but that when i was a annoying bastard fuck trevy

Nobody trevy

Hárbarðr's picture

Damn, I thought this guy had many positive reviews, guess you can never know!

frankie530's picture

I bought a patch from him a few months ago and received it pretty quick, sad if he’s changed though

MorbidWaste's picture

Yup, he left the metal scene he told me that’s why he sold all his patches but he scammed most people, including myself.

HELLHAMMERED's picture

Pretended to be our friend

MorbidWaste's picture

That’s what I hate him most for. He actually acted like a friend towards us and then scammed the shit out of us. Piece of shit.

Corrosive's picture

I highly doubt he was into any metal scene. He looked like a marginal kid with no friends. He felt "powerful" by compulsively buying any rare and valuable patch that most others can't. I doubt he owned any physical record or actually liked any of these bands. One does not simply "left metal" like it's nothing.

MorbidWaste's picture

Yeah he liked getting the rarest shit ever. He did have some vinyl, that I know of

HELLHAMMERED's picture

He did have vinyl and tapes, but for the same reasons. Just cause they were rare, not cause he actually wanted em

Corrosive's picture

Same old story then. But I highly doubt he had as many rare records as rare patches he had (or still has).

Cameron's picture

People like that piss me the fuck off. Records are meant to be spun and enjoyed. Not in a sleeve for eternity. And on top that he was scamming the fuck out of a lot of people. Fucking disgrace.

nuclearthrasher666's picture

So he pretends to be a metalhead for a year or two, spents huge amouts of money to buy rare stuff (that he probably didn't give a shit about in the first place....) and then he "quits the metal scene" (lol) while scamming everyone ! This is dictionary definition of a fucking Scumbag POSER

Shatafaker666's picture

Indeed.

Corrosive's picture

Nailed it.

fuckenscooter02's picture

That foo could suck a fat one!

doctordeath's picture

Added a link to his profile page

A nameless ghoul's picture

Thank you doc🙏

DeadByRon's picture

I bought a Deathhammer patch from him on Aug 11 and I still haven’t received anything. I thought maybe it got lost in the mail. I’m upset reading these comments now.

Heavy Metal Chemist's picture

Hmmmm 🤔 I don't like jumping to conclusions too quick but I also thought my patch got 'lost in the mail' as well.

Drekavac_Hearth's picture

I bought a bathory patch from the guy months ago right? Like 4 or 5. He said that he had sent it around a week aftrer I bought it. No big deal, its understandable o be busy with whatever. But anyways, he told me he sent it. Didnt get it for months, started to hear from other people that they never got their stuff from him either. I figured he didnt really send it, so still wanting my patch, I messeged him again and he said he didnt send it, and would send it the next saturday. Didnt send it again, I askd again and he said he had been busy, and then asked me if I wanted some free patches along with it and then told me not to tel anyone about it. Again, did not send anything. Messeged him again like a week ago, no response, wont even refund the money. He is definitly stinky.

DeadByRon's picture

I messaged him on instagram yesterday because he wasn’t replying to me on here. He said that he can’t log into his TSS account anymore; not sure if that’s true or not. He told me yesterday that he sent the patch for real this time; we’ll see if I actually get it.

MortalFate's picture

He's lying.

Shatafaker666's picture

I also think that he is lying. He never sent any patch, cause he only want our money, he’s worse than a rat.

MortalFate's picture

He was able to sign in and clear out his profile. Have to laugh at this loser clown.

DeadByRon's picture

Damn I didn’t notice that :/

MortalFate's picture

Sorry for your troubles, as well as others. Man is clearly a con artist.

DeadByRon's picture

GUYS UPDATE!! I just got my patch from him!!! He only shipped it after I messaged him on ig, but at least he still sent it. I hope some of you guys get yours too.

Shatafaker666's picture

Well at least you receive it, all of us not. Feeling happy for you :))

bad_american1992's picture

Congrats, my patch also arrived today!

Everyone - Start paypal claims! Crossing my finger that you all used Goods & Services. Never pay the fees, never pay as Friend and Family unless it's someone you really, really trust.

Shatafaker666's picture

Méxican users can’t send money through paypal as “family and friends” and I also started a claim and have full money back. I’m very surprised and annoyed that a heavy trustworthy user steal our money. Karma is a bitch David, and some day you will pay this shit.

Hárbarðr's picture

Es un tema regional, entonces? Desde hace un par de años que tampoco me aparece la opción de enviar como “friends and family”, no sabía que también le pasaba a otra gente!

Shatafaker666's picture

Parece ser que si, desde que use paypal para compras Internacionales en donde pedían que enviara pagos como amigos o familia en euros, dólares o hasta libras esterlinas, pero haciendo esto creo que ya no puedes meter reclamación alguna en paypal. Si nosotros latinos no podemos enviar pagos con esa modalidad será por alguna causa que desconozco pero sólo así pude hacer la reclamación de paypal para que me devolvieran la plata.

Thane's picture

Fuck I can't believe this shit. I was on the verge of buying several things from him over the past year but never pulled the trigger. Glad I fucking didn't. What a piece of shit poser. Anyone who collects expensive shit in any area of life just to rip off other people who truly want those items is the lowest of the absolute low. Hope Karma catches up to him in a big way.

BloodFireDeath's picture

I've done a handful of trades/sales with him in the past and he seemed pretty cool. I started getting kind of suspicious of him after my last trade with him for a vtg Tankard patch.It took about 5-6 weeks before he even sent it out and blamed it on "the post office being slow". I heard from another good friend on here that he was quick to get into arguments over trivial shit and later scammed him. Dude roleplayed as an 80s German metalhead, spent an insane amount on retardedly rare shit with no passion for it, and then decided to "leave the scene" and scam and fuck over everyone once he realized he probably financially fucked himself. David is a textbook example, authentic, fucking scumbag piece of shit poser! ENEMY OF METAL, FUCK OFF AND DIE!!!!

zilin's picture

Actully i have traded with him months ago ,But tbh ,i never got what he should send to me ,I think maybe it was lost in the trans .He talked to me kindly and he has also bought a few times from me ..So i would like to trust him .But now ..Maybe the reason is he never send me the patches ..
When i asked him ,he told me to be more patient ..months passed .still nothing ,i almost forgot i have traded with him.Now i got the truth.Same happened to me ..

bad_american1992's picture

The Deep Purple patch actually arrived today! I hope that everyone else can get the patches that they paid for. TRV3Y has cleared his name in my book, took a few months but case is closed \m/

brianos_welt's picture

Got scammed by him, too.
I bought the Mercyful Fate Don‘t Break the Oath Intruders HMFC patch from him.
After the payment (11th august) he didn‘t respond anymore. On 9th september he said, he had sent it on 13th august. Never arrived. Paid via friends & family fuck me I guess.

YungThermonuclearWarrior's picture

That guy scammed 2 of my friends on here for the SAME woven Leprosy patch

Pascal1976's picture

I’ve got scammed by him as well when I just joined here. Paid him money for a Wehrmacht patch that he never sent. Seeing that he had some positive feedback gave me false hope that he could be trusted. I just messaged him (again) with the hope that he now eventually will send me that patch

bad_american1992's picture

Sounds like he's more responsive on InstaGram if you have an account there, you may have a better shot at contacting his ass.

CHAD_THUNDERCOCK's picture

Was about to buy a few patches off of TRV3Y, glad I found this thread.

bad_american1992's picture

Don't do it!!!

KleptoSkuld's picture

This dude took poser to the next level tbh you have no idea how much of a dork he was ESPECIALLY when it came to those Greek bootlegs he wanted to horde them all for himself and any kind of dealings with him or trade you felt what take forever and since he was the gate keeper to alot of the shit, you didn’t want him to get triggered somehow and not sell/trade to you. he was so petty with shit

KleptoSkuld's picture

He will be back I’m sure once he gets bored with whatever trend he’s following now. He had a couple records but what’s hilarious is this dude would collect patches like Pokémon cards it was retarded

MortalFate's picture

He's still signing on here.

Pascal1976's picture

I noticed, but sadly he doesn’t reply to his messages

MortalFate's picture

I am sure he read this thread about himself. Typical criminal behavior.

Heavy Metal Chemist's picture

UPDATE: I made a deal with Trv3y regarding a Speedbreaker - Built for Speed patch via Facebook. I never received it, and then this post was placed. I contacted him again saying I never received my patch and that there was some 'fuzz' about him here on TSS. He told me he did sent it but that it must have gotten lost in the mail. He felt bad about the situation and decided to send (another) speedbreaker and add an extra patch. Well...Today I received my patch + the extra patch.

My approach in this situation was to talk to him in a polite manner and he was always very responsive and polite back. I hope others received their patches meanwhile, but in case not, try contacting him again. All I can say is he kept his promise to me.

Pascal1976's picture

I have been polite with him from the start, but all that got me was being duped. I am one of those people that never received their item. I tried contacting him again but he will not respond, which is not really polite from him, is it? Basically he just gave a bunch of people the middle finger and took their money. Which to me isn’t even the worst part. I fucking hate having trust issues again when it comes to buying from people.

Heavy Metal Chemist's picture

I didn't want to imply people were not polite with him. I can completely understand people are very angry with him, and that what he did is unacceptable (putting it mildly). All I was trying to say is what worked in my case. Until today I was in the same situation as many of you and I though it was a lost cause, but apparently he kept his promise to me. I hope that sets the stage for more to follow.

"I fucking hate having trust issues again when it comes to buying from people." - You are damn right about that. That is indeed the worst part of it.

Pascal1976's picture

Oh I didn’t feel you were implying that at all.
It’s just ridiculous that we even keep it polite at all. I can’t imagine myself doing those kind of things. I’m probably blowing the final 0,01% chance of still receiving the item I paid for in good faith now, but rather than being an asshole who ignores messages he should be sending out all the items he got money for without delivering and not only to a select group that is polite to him or he feels some regret towards somehow. He should be very ashamed of himself. I despise people who act like that

Heavy Metal Chemist's picture

You are totally right mate and all I can say to what you wrote is "Amen!"

The reason I stayed polite because I figured that being all angry and mad in my message would make him definitely not send the patches. I already counted on having lost my money, but for me it worked out in the end. Irregardless, everybody should get what they paid for!

Pascal1976's picture

So mine arrived today too. It was mailed on dec 13th. 8 months later.

Heavy Metal Chemist's picture

Wow, that must have been a nice surprise, especially when you already considered it a lost cause. Hopefully others will have the same surprise as well.

Pascal1976's picture

It was very unexpected!

MortalFate's picture

Why are scammers tolerated here?

A nameless ghoul's picture

Well after seeing everyones stuff get shipped i had hope. He unblocked and messaged me on insta. He says he “shipped” it out and after a while no show. He said your was the cali one right? I live in texas. And he kept looking at all my Instagram shit and i asked him to cause i dont like him. And he blocked me. Man the audacity

MortalFate's picture

And we have another scammer in this thread up above calling him a poser. We have some strange characters here.

HELLHAMMERED's picture

He’s told me he shipped my stuff I think 6-7 times and I gave up after one last try when this thread came up (when it became clear he ripped off everyone on the face of the fuckin planet). Most annoying part is really, all I want from it is my own bands patch that I just can’t seem to fuckin get my hands on since I wasn’t the one who produced it
