Default ESE/no Tracking Scammer - the_ruthcollector AKA the_baberuthcollector

This is so dumb. I sold a Topps Gallery Babe Ruth box topper for like $4. I sent it in a thicker envelope that ESE isn't compatible with, so I just sent it with a non-machinable stamp so it didn't bend. Guy asks for tracking, I let him know there is none. 8 days later, he opens a case for a refund. I refund him.

Scammer info:
Kyle Wilson
1125 Roosevelt Dr
West Bend, WI 53090-1431

+1 262-365-4334

I have never had an ESE or regular stamped mail that I sent not arrive, so I did a little digging. The user's feedback is littered with similar complaints. Check their "About" bio too.

https://ebay.com/usr/the_ruthcollector

New username: https://ebay.com/usr/the_baberuthcollector

"I'm sick of you sellers saying I don't receive these dumb ebay envelope, maybe if you used usps tracking maybe I'll get them, think what you want I DO NOT LIE!!!!! YOU WOULD GET FEEDBACK IF I RECEIVED IDEM, maybe if you sellers truly do send it maybe I'll get it, STOP RIPPING OF PEOPLE. use REAL TRACKING NUMBERS!!"

Beyond that, I found his instagram account.

Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/the_baberuthcollector/



Here is the Ruth box topper he claims never arrived. Link to the full image (same background)

Thanks for catching that. On Blowout, you have to remove the www. bit for eBay links to open. OP updated.

Also has a history of not paying or cancelling purchases

Blocked to the moon

The spelling errors and horrendous grammar in the bio says it all

I don't have an Instagram account, so I can't comment. I wouldn't want to engage this dude anyway. I was able to get the screenshots from a friend who does have an account.

NVM, it seems its always been that way. Dude's "About" section basically says he's gonna scam you if you don't use tracking but with much more words

Just pulled the same spit with me recently. $2 card. Found it posted on his IG. Worlds dumbest criminals. There is also a Melissa Wilson on ebay account. Maybe mommy? Reading some of his incoherent ramblings and inability to properly spell the simplest of words, I'm guessing that this is probably a 7 year old hiding in Mommys basement committing mail fraud. Pity the fool.

Yeah I saw that name on the eBay account too. I would trust 7 year olds to not do this. There’s quite a lot of buying activity on the account, so I have to assume Kyle is an adult. An adult that is in desperate need of a few extra dollars apparently.

Kyle is an older man and Melissa is his wife.

I saw that online info put her at approx 50 yrs old. I'm sure she's very proud of her husbands behavior. The one with the brains of a 7 yr old.

Thanks for the info about the scammer Kyle Wilson from Wisconsin. What a piece of #@#@#@#@. Added to block list.

Looks like someone else had to take him to small claims court to force collection of a debt too. Not really surprising.

Strange this loser removed the post calling you chicken once people posted he’s been taken to court for this here.

Looks like this slob of a human is watching us. Which means he’s probably not too smart and is trying to sign up as we speak.

Here’s more than likely his wife’s account . It’s clear by what she married she don’t embarrass easy but someone should shoot her a message and let her know her husband is not doing well. I mean if he has to steal cards worth that much then perhaps he shouldn’t be buying collectibles. From some of the pictures looks like they also didn’t pay the maid….

LOL, gold. Notice how he changed his story and both are lies:

adamkgb's profile picture
Oh right I remember now, the one you claimed you never received. Not a good look man.

the_baberuthcollector's profile picture
@adamkgb no no, that guy jumped the gun, I'm have a knee replacement on July 5th, so I bought a bunch of hobby boxes to keep me busy. I bought a box topper of this card, well I got one in the hobby box, plus on Saturday in the mail I received the ebay seller's card, he totally refunded me and I told him to wait, and yes I did post the one I got from the hobby box, when I was going to get his he was going to get a shout on my page. And he also claimed he didn't have the tracking number information, when clearly he sent it with a tracking number. So I have all the proof you need if you want to see. God all this over a $5 #@#@#@#@ing card.
