I was looking to buy a blacked out ported ms261 and like the way johns looked and even with the mixed reviews, knowing there are a lot of his saws out there that people love and have run good, i figured id give it a shot. this came about because his Facebook page became active with selling saws so i asked if he had a 261 blacked out for sale and he did. the messaging was somewhat strange so i asked for a phone number before sending the money on zelle and a strange man answered the phone and pushed for payment with no good explanation on where john was or what was going on. That was enough that i said no thanks but just thought id see if anyone knew anything because it really seems to me that he has been hacked and the new person is scamming (yes i know John might have also conned some people also)

Also does anyone do good port work and dye/customize the look of the saw also? They need to supply the saw new anyways as i don't have one.
 
Never cared much for the guy myself. He’s arrogant and can’t take criticism without throwing a hissy fit. Word is he got pretty heavily into drugs and screwed a bunch of people over. Took money for saws and never delivered, and even sold customer saws to fund his habit. Read this on a few forums so take it for what it is.

gary buxton sells new saws ported, simply boil the plastics in rit dye if you want them different
 
How did you pay him so he could get away with that?
I saw him from a few other YouTube channels. Has a pretty decent following too. Never thought he was a scam artist so it seemed alright to me. That’s what I get for trusting people.

I agree that it sounds like how account was hacked. Did you report it to fb, Instagram and cashapp? I'm guessing so but some might not know you can fight it. Also if the funds were taken from your bank you might be able to dispute the charges through them? I almost did the same thing when a scammer hacked a friend account and was selling nonexistent puppies through his fb page. There's a link i can get for you to report it to fcc as well.
