OK, now I am worried too. Since I also rated him, here's my story:
I had the following casascius coins that he wanted to buy and I wanted to sell: 5BTC, 25BTC and two 1BTC. He insisted that I should go first and we decided that I would send the 5BTC first to gain some trust. That went perfectly fine, I sent the coin and received the payment as soon as he received it. Then I insisted that he should pay me at least half the money upfront for the other coins, but he didn't want to. We traded a bunch of PM's and then I agreed to send him the coins first. According to USPS, he received them last friday, but he hadn't payed yet because he is waiting for 120BTC that he bought on coinbase. Yesterday morning he told me that the transfer from coinbase would clear during the day. Haven't heard from him since.

Why would a 2011 have to send first to a guy who just registered a few weeks ago?

Because I'm stupid. Well, he did have a few ratings and a few people who met with him locally, and I didn't have more buyers. I trust people too much =\ |

My experiences with gonefishing510 have been similar to nightowlace's.
I have not been scammed from him.
However, in trying to work out terms, he subtlely changed terms such that I would have lost out, had I not double checked history.
We finally came to a deal which involved him flying out to me. I cleared my schedule for the weekend, and he cancelled.
I asked that we speak on the phone, which he was unwilling to do.
Once again, no concrete scams, but a lot of things that set off alarm bells. Seeing at least two others voice concern, I felt I should share mine as well.
This crap is lose-lose. If he's an honest guy, then I just alienated someone I've helped out in the casascius market for the last few months (informationally speaking). If he's a scammer, well, then that's just more sign that trying to trade here is just too risky.
All this scam crap has me sick.
At one point he told me that you were a personal friend and I should check with you for a reference. |

He told me that too. So now there are a few of us hu? I guess we need to contact law enforcement at this point. I have two different names for him, Andy Lee and Jimmi Cohan. Anyone have more information? |

I agree, however we are going to wait a couple of hours. This is now more then one person, and we can take our time... He didn't abscond with hundreds of thousands... its not enough to ruin his life over, but we've got enough now that, if he doesn't honor it, his life will become very annoying. So we wait a day... He might just have been (god forbid) in an accident and not be able to get online or something. While I am stupid and too trusting, I also am not going to run right to the police and open a complaint until a least a day has passed. |

I'm still hoping that he just lost his phone or something, but I really doubt it at this point. Kind of like hoping I win the lottery, ya know? I guess I'll contact the police in CA later today. |

Anyone else who has a pending trade and isn't being contacted, let me know. We are going to file a police report today and so anyone else that should be included in that report - let me know.
Jake
So far I've got:
jakedeez - $2,000
nmat - 35 BTC
So, this is certainly already large enough to involve law enforcement and warrant real jail time.

I am also sending this message to you via txt and PM.

Well then I guess its time for him to know that I have been in touch with the authorities. He'll have a few days to preempt this and make things right since it will take a few days to coordinate as part of his fraud was international. |

https://www.facebook.com/kimbeeyannoe Sent her a message explaining what "Andy" has done and that she is about to be named as an accessory to his scam. Asked if she could help us out to avoid including her in the charges.
