Who is Godspeed?, by rampagesp on May 6, 2015 4:58:28 GMT 1, This user, although seems very nice, has been giving me the run around since February.
I attempted to make a purchase off of them (over 4k), and after a few months of back and forth and excuses why they can't ship, they finally agreed they would just issue me a full refund.
Suffice it to say, no refund yet and very little communication.
Anyone have any interaction with this user (I believe their name is **** ******), they seem to be quite active on here.
Please help. I'm having a baby soon and this money is extremely important to me.
Guardian - Edited to remove name. Please PM poster if details required.

Who is Godspeed?, by cmodart on May 6, 2015 5:14:18 GMT 1, Yes, that's the same runaround i got. I agreed to buy a print on December 20th 2014, and i had to pester them for a month until it was finally shipped on January 14th. They claimed it was shipped on January 7th, which was untrue. The package came from Massachusetts, USA, and the whole thing was really sketchy. This person would never answer the phone, and would only correspond by text message.
Also they agreed to buy a print, and then would never pay, so i stuck that print on eBay. Godspeed was aware. It sold, and the buyer never paid. I was curious if there was a connection, as Godspeed later sent another lowball offer after i didn't get payment. Maybe that's not related, but it was strange.
The paypal email was a different name than you mention above, but the name on the account was the same.
I have since been contacted by 2 other members getting the same treatment.
Godspeed also has left conflicting comments, sometimes about being new to the forum, and then later talking about some person having behaved a certain way for the past several years, etc...
I've come to think it's an alias or something. Literally everyone else i've sold to, bought from, or traded with on UAA has been straight-up, and has a verifiable identity. This person is the opposite of that, and I recommend staying away.
I bought the Beejoir i 70 for $385, which was worth a little trouble, because it was cheap. Still, it was a major pain in the arse to get it, and Godspeed was awful to deal with.
All of what i've said is true, so happy to leave it here. Good luck with the little one.

Do you know if they happen to be male or female? I think I've located them. I'll do what I need to retrieve my money and make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Who is Godspeed?, by cmodart on May 6, 2015 5:36:52 GMT 1, Don't know. email was adrian something, name on paypal was leah something. On this page, godspeed35 refers to the significant other as "she" and talks about having been a DJ for many years, etc.. Not sure that would make GS a male, but it kind of sounds that way.

Who is Godspeed?, by lazk on May 6, 2015 12:15:08 GMT 1, I have a feeling it is the dude that ripped off a lot of people on EB forever ago. He claimed he owned a gallery years ago and apparently ripped off the singer/rapper Everlast on a KAWS toy. I remember Everlast calling him out. It was him and his girlfriend who was behind the scamming. I know they were from Massachusetts.

Who is Godspeed?, by streetlife on May 6, 2015 14:13:29 GMT 1, I have a strong suspicion this is Jason Zenga up to his old tricks. As with the post from cmodart above, he tried to buy some prints off me a few weeks ago, wouldn't give a name, gave me a mobile number with no voicemail which he never answered and which was registered in LA (although he claimed to be based in Boston). He gave me a delivery address of a woman called Leah based in Boston, etc, etc. Payment never came through, but he still insisted he needed a few days to get the money together. I raised this suspicion with another forum member last month who concurred that the pattern on his previous posts was typical Zenga behaviour. I should also note that Zenga is in his own words "a world-renowned DJ" so this all starts to make sense. I would love to be proved wrong, and would welcome godspeed to come forward with an explanation to the above, but based on experience my advice is steer well clear.
For those of you unfamiliar with Mr. Zenga's history, I suggest you read more about his previous dealings as Art Asylum Boston here and on UAA here and most recently here

I'm very sympathetic to the poster, but disclosure of personal details or posting of photos with the intention of identifying a Forum Member or their location, without their express consent is not permitted. The name was not Jason Zenga, and unless anyone has clear evidence to the contrary I think people should be very cautious about suggesting he has been involved in this transaction.

No disrespect, but it is not difficult to register an account under a different name with a different IP address on this forum. I believe a number of Zenga's forum profiles have been banned previously, so it wouldn't be a surprise if @godspeed is another. Just read the links that I posted earlier and then check the posts that @godspeed has made and the previous aliases - there is a very obvious pattern. There are too many coincidences based on past behaviour. |

There has been a bad transaction involving Godspeed, possibly more than one, which is outlined above.
Jason Zenga is well known and some of his history is also outlined above. However, there is no clear evidence that they are one and the same. If Godspeed is not Jason Zenga, he or she might well object strongly to this linkage (with good reason!). If anyone has definite evidence that Godspeed is Zenga, then please provide this.
In the meantime, I suggest extreme caution on the part of anyone dealing with Godspeed, and of course to avoid Zenga completely!

In your new found status as a Forum Guardian, why don't you PM @godspeed and ask him/her to set the record straight as to why he/she has behaved in this way. |

Who is Godspeed?, by Billy Sport on May 6, 2015 17:00:47 GMT 1, I had a horrible transaction with this person, bought Kaws star wars figures, insisted on paypal (and paid by Credit card) things went sour quite quickly, delays in posting, then they arrived without any paperwork (which "she" said there was), I chased the paper work for a while, even arranging a meet in NYC, when I was over for Armory. she was a no show.
Luckily a friend had original star wars figures, we compared and his were better than mine, I reckon at least one was a fake, another borderline, another you couldn't really tell.
Filed a paypal dispute, escalated to a claim and posted items back.

I don't care who it actually is. The user Godspeed is a low-class, dishonest, manipulative forum person, and should be banned. I don't care if it's the tooth fairy. I agree the guardians seem to be missing the point here.

Who is Godspeed?, by rampagesp on May 6, 2015 19:18:19 GMT 1, I've been speaking to him, he has apparently been away, and returns tonight. He has said that he has attempted many times to refund my money with Paypal (in his defence, he did show me a screen shot of the amount, and it showed pending, and never went through).
Anyway, he said he will send me a cashier check on Friday. I will keep everyone updated.
If it is a scam, it's a extensively ELABORATE scam, as his excuses and conversations have seem legit.. it just seems like he is VERY irresponsible.

Who is Godspeed?, by Daniel Silk on May 6, 2015 19:54:08 GMT 1, I think it comes to a point sometimes that legal action privately between members should take place rather than online allegations that the rest of us can't really judge.
Of course it can be very useful to share information online here about problems and to warm others, but it does come to a stage where as forum we can't get involved until it has become clearer who if anyone is at fault.

Nope. Static. All static. Don't believe a thing until you get your money

Who is Godspeed?, by dohdohdude on May 8, 2015 2:48:23 GMT 1, Posted a warning on the forum to those dealing with Godspeed a few weeks ago. This person promised to help me get prints at the Johnathan Levine Gallery. I suspected Godspeed was lying early on because he/she couldn't keep the story straight. Long story short, I had to file a paypal claim to get my money back. Not sure what the agenda is but it seems like he/she is getting a short term no interest loan at everyone's expense. I can verify that Godspeed has tried to scam more people than have replied on this thread. Be safe...
