as an owner of a clothing company yourself
So in a strange twist of fate, I recognised he of the unpaid jeans at the climbing wall this eve. I introduced myself very nicely to him. He was immediately 100% apologetic for the tone of his emails, and told me that he thought someone had been trying to scam him and that PayPal had advised him to pay nothing. Then today he'd checked his account, realised the money really hadn't gone out of his account and was going to email us tomorrow to sort out payment. As it turns out he's a big fan and we're all great friends now. I ended up feeling quite sorry for him he was so completely mortified. Thanks all for your input. My faith in the climbing community has been restored.

While I've the chance, I'm going to take great pleasure in self-righteously pointing out that this is exactly why online shamings of the type advocated by some above are a shit idea most of the time.

Sounds like a perfect example of people acting in ways when they have the anonymity of the internet that they would dream of when called out one person.
The part that confuses me is that he knows your company isn't a scam. If he thought the emails were a scam why would he reply to them?Still, all's well that ends well...
