Hey modular nerds, here to report @Soundmonkey. They received the cash for 2 Make Noise modules: LxD & DXG and never answered after the money was received (approval on their end). Meanwhile saw ohter users adding thumbs down on their profile, I reached out to them and apparently also bought the same modules and never heard about it anymore as well. Here's all informations gathered to identify them:
Email of contact: miloo040922@gmail.com
First Paypal account they gave me was not verified by Paypal: algenisvidal@hotmail.com
Second Paypal account: bonchesrdtravel algenis@gmail.com
Hey lads, I was scammed by @Adartse. Paid him 18 days ago and have had silence since his last message making excuses 10 days ago. I see now his account is suspended. Paypal name Finn Becker. Sent 120 for a make noise LXD and never got it. Seems like theres a few around scamming for the make noise modules atm so be careful.
Sadly have to report a negative experience with user @sugarfreedaddy.
Collide 4 was purchased on 25 March. Price listed in EUR and seller location in Berlin, but seller's PayPal account was set up to receive PLN. I confirmed with the seller that this was how they wanted it before sending. Paid using PayPal goods and services (thankfully) and added the agreed on shipping costs plus 3.7% to cover fees. When seller was hit with exchange fees that left them short, they insisted that I send an extra EUR 20 via F&F (actually ended up being EUR 21.99 due to my getting hit with the exchange fees this time). Because the price for the module was still very good, I agreed to do this although I did express that I wasn't happy about it due to the listing having been in EUR.
Seller originally committed to shipping the module by 27 March at the latest. When I followed up on 28 March to request tracking details they promised a new latest shipping date of 31 March. I have received no responses to subsequent follow up messages and emails since 28 March.
Update as of 07 April 2026: It's been 10 days without any response from sugarfreedaddy via Modulargrid, email, or PayPal messaging. I've escalated a claim to PayPal and will continue to share updates here.
Update as of 16 April 2026: I was lucky to have had buyer protection in place, as I never heard back from sugarfreedaddy. Neither did PayPal, so they refunded the main payment I sent. Hopefully the other users who were experiencing issues will manage to come out without major losses too. It's still unclear what the circumstances were and I'm not going to speculate publicly, but lesson learned: I'll be avoiding F&F in future unless the transaction is with someone I actually know in person (regardless of rating and even if prior deals went smoothly).
before saying the name I want to check what you think for having paied for a module, got an envelope with some gym pants and got the proposal from the seller for being reimboursed for the 50%.
Thank you
Hey, I’m posting here in hopes of getting a response from @sugarfreedaddy as I am having problems with him as well.
I’ve seen a lot of positive feedback about him, including from people I trust, so I’m assuming something unusual is going on. However, I sent payment nearly two weeks ago and communication has largely stopped since then.
Five days ago, I received a message mentioning ModularGrid’s message limit and stating that tracking information would be sent via email. However, no tracking details have been provided, and I have not received any further replies despite multiple follow-ups via ModularGrid, email, and PayPal.
At this point, I simply need clarity on the situation. I would appreciate either confirmation that the item has been shipped, with tracking information, or a refund if the item has not been sent.
I hope this message helps re-establish contact so we can resolve this quickly.
I have to report this former seller @hellonwood40.
I purchased a first-model Vhikk, paid via PayPal, "relatives and friends," so yes, I'm the stupid one.
I paid for the product on April 2nd, and now he's not responding to emails.
This is the wonderful answer the scammer gave me:
"Open a dispute to get a refund!
Maybe it's too late for this talk but I'm deeply sorry :)"
perfect...

I've escalated a claim to PayPal and will continue to share updates here. I feel very lucky to have had buyer protection in place. I was about to use F&F (which I frequently do) but changed to goods and services at the last minute due to a little doubt being raised at the receiving PayPal account expecting a different currency from the listed price.

Oh, sadly you posted this on 4th of April so I did not know. I also purchased the same Collide 4 module on 31st of March (the module is still on their sale list!!!). I have dealt with this seller before, a year ago or smth. and everything went smooth back then, so I used PayPal F&F this time. So it looks like the seller sold the same module to several buyers consciously.
Never heard back from the guy via ModularGrid, PP messaging and emails...
unfortunatelly, I have similar experience with @sugarfreedaddy. First, smooth communication, then I payed for the module (3.4.) and since then no communication at all. Tried to write him everywhere I could (MG, email, IG), but no response. Now I see his MG accound has been suspended.
This is interesting, since I have read in this forum, that several trades were made with this guy, and some of them appeared to be flawless, and he has also quite positive feedback. I hope this is only some kind of misunderstanding.
Unfortunately, at this point I think its safe to assume that this is not just a misunderstanding considering:
The number of people having issues (looks like it could be 9 or more)
The same module being sold to at least two people (both of whom paid) with no indication in the ad of multiples being in stock
Others may have a different view, but my thinking is that anyone still waiting to hear back from sugarfreedaddy who used PayPal goods and servcies should consider opening a dispute and immediately escalating to a claim. Anyone who paid with F&F should see if they can initate a chargeback with their bank or credit card company.
I had a problem with this seller, @sugarfreedaddy, quite some time ago.
This was reported here.
The situation was: I purchased a module, he did not send it. He was "unable" to send it, he was also "unable" to refund me.
I think that the situation was quite similar to what is being experienced here (with several purchasing the same module)
I talked to him via messenger. I had to insist a lot, during weeks, months. He was never "able" to refund me, but after weeks he ended sending me other modules for similar value.
I don't know if you guys will find a way to get your money back. I'm just writing this here to encourage you all not to give up.
Could it be that his account got occupied by someone else?

No, very unlikely.

It's a diffuse situation, but at this point I recommend what @wont says.
Purchased a Verbos Harmonic Oscillator on 31 March for €600. Payment sent directly via bank transfer after agreeing off-platform on WhatsApp. No tracking number provided. No response to messages since I paid.
I had successful transactions with him before, last in January (four modules, EUR 1,185 total, delivered via DHL from Warsaw). That prior shipment included a DHL label with the seller's full name and residential address in Warsaw, despite his ModularGrid location being listed as Berlin.
I will initiate a bank recall and will be filing a fraud report with the relevant prosecutor's office in Warsaw via email. If anyone else is filing or wants to coordinate, PM me.
Also scammed for a Collide4 (paid on 31/3). I've reported the crime to my country's police (I don't think it'll do much but might add up in some way) and just pm'd ratman77531.
Just want to report about @sugarfreedaddy.
I bought a Vhikkx from him a couple of days ago.
He told me he bought a couple of them with some friends who run a modular store in Poland.
He took a couple of days after the payment (which i did thru paypal G&S) to send the module bur he sent it and it was really a brand new one...
The fun fact is that i told him that i almost got scammed by 2 sellers for this module who were asking for Paypal F&F.
Now, i just feel lucky he didn´t scam me...

Wow, happy for you. And also slightly happy he's still around so who knows. the 13 downvoters might see their modules after all.

I have to agree that he has not the best communication. But he sends modules.
When he shipped mine on March 25. he sent me a proof on which several parcels were shown.
About that Collide 4 "multiple sale", as i could understand he sometimes buys modules with the guys from Soundofyou when they are a bit short money, so perhaps he got more than one Collide 4 that way...

He needs to communicate if he for any reason at all can't ship a module. Most of us are reasonable people overhere (at least that's the impression I have ;-) and there's a multitude of ways things can be solved to everyone's satisfaction.

You're right man.
But there is something here i can't understand: how is that possible that someone who did 130 nice transactions starts to scam people? This looks so incredible....
I suggest, you guys get in touch with Sound Of You store. Those guys might know him well as i noticed that my Vhikk X has been sent by Sound of You (i just checked that out on the parcel as someone here asked me for).
Who knows, might he have a serious health issue or an accident? Shit happens...
