BEWARE!!! I'VE BEEN SCAMMED! Please Read! - Page 20

post #381 of 438
Hey rando, I did some reaserch on that oliver guy. he is listed on so many compliant furoms for fraud, they also say he makes false promises. So he is probaly lying about the death of his relative. I might be wrong, but I am probaly not.

in 3 trades i did back and forth with him over an 8 month period trying to get my original stuff back...he had 3 deaths in his family, and his father was very sick. Those were all lies. That's when i turned to scam him back b/c he had almost $3000 worth of my stuff..he still owes me til this day for 512mb pc 3200 RAM and a 40 gig HD. But that little amount isn't worth the hassle. It seems like all this has served him right. Hopefully scammers will see this and see what can happen to them. The title of this thread should be SCAMMERS BEWARE and become a sticky!!!! how bout it myrkat or enderD....

bump...

anything new?

Well, after calling him a few times and leaving a few msgs... I have my laptop back.

I won't go into any details, but basically after a couple weeks of his 'excuses' I finally received my laptop in the same condition thankfully.

If he does scam you, just be persistant and call/email him like crazy.

I personally don't believe a word that comes from his mouth, but thanks to him I'm much more careful in my online dealings. Hard to imagine someone that just scams ppl all day, what the hell kind of life/hobby is that... geez...

Just be careful from ppl with no heatware and questionable references and check pcabusers and and other bad trader lists...

Good luck everyone..

WOW! I simply feel mentally drained after reading this thread from start to finish. It was fasinating reading though! I'm glad Rando got his laptop back though.

Lord, who are you?

Just so I know which name to cross out...No updates from me, I'm not asking victims for their cooperation anymore. I felt whiney instead of helpy at some point...paying clients don't waste my time...they do.

I may look into this again in August when I come back from my trip, I'll be leaving in a couple of weeks.

I can't believe how much pplepiew has done already to bring this clown down.

Some of you people (not all!) should be embarrassed at your lack of cooperation.

Stubby I agree.. I don't like to wish bad things upon anyone, but c'mon.. These guys here got their stuff back through someone elses work, and rather than return the favor, do the right thing and help bring this clown down, they just dissapear into ether..

Hope the next time you lazy selfish pr*cks don't get your stuff back..

i did everything on my own... contacted police and everything before i found out about pplepiew and stuff, but also contacted him, just that i can't do anything...
went to mods on anandtech and got some info on him and just basically my own initiative, i did get help and i will never forget that...

not all of us just dissappeared, just that my case isn't going to help and so i step back, still keep an eye out though...

Looks like someone else got scammed.

Someone named ender11122

C'mon Rando, you started this whole thread...
post #391 of 438
Sorry, haven't checked this thread much lately since I've been busy. But basically, I got scammed here on the forum, and through a link I saw here to anandtech with all his contact info, I just called and emailed him constantly and got my laptop back that way.

Whoever got that contact info, I'm extremely grateful since that's probably how I got my laptop back. If I'm being 'selfish' now then I guess I apologize. What exactly do you guys want me to do?

ender11122 got his laptop back, he's awaiting the pda though...
post #393 of 438
man... just spent a good 2 hrs reading all these posts. So this jeremy dude is still sitting around in his trailer park free after all of this?? Rondo dont know where you are bro but you should be ashamed.

Sucks when there's no closure especially when you had the sucker in your hands. You let a rat loose, hes probably hibernating right now, but I have a feeling he'll be back soon. omfg Rondo i want to strangle you. ass!

I just got done reading the majority of this and I'm left with one burning thought:

HOW?! How in the world are you people allowing this to happen to yourself? I know this might not be the popular opinion, but you have got to be out of your mind to engage in a deal like this that goes sour. How hard is it to understand buying big-ticket items from people HAS, and I mean HAS to go through confirmed PayPal, paid with a credit card. That way, if anything goes south, you simply reject the charge and life is swell. The only thing in the entire world I use cash for anymore is drink machines and fast-food.

Good luck to you all in getting your money back, but I cannot fathom how you people could be so easily duped unless you're under the age of 15.
post #395 of 438
Well, hopefully things go back to normal and all the tolled people get the items or the money back. I was kind of proud to see that 2 of the top 15 heatware (hmrolts and tates) are among my feedbacks
post #396 of 438
I admire pplview for his work.. well done

Glad things worked out..
post #397 of 438
I've been scammed but never that bad, good luck member on getting your money back
post #398 of 438
Ok I got to page 5 and quit reading,,,Can someone PM on what happened if Jeremy got away with the laptop and or if rando stop trying?
post #399 of 438
he's back, to more trolling, it happens because new people don't have heatware, don't have reputation, and he does, even though its fake, because we are new we get duped...its simple as that.

yes we could've asked for paypal and stuff...but basically, its the new status compared with his fake rep, that stuff like this happen...

i got scamed yes, got my stuff back, yes, but because i was new, i didn't have heatware so i could not asked for pay first then ship...basically its simple as that...

people need to open their eyes, not everyone is stupid, its based on the scammer, being very good with words, and the new person, wanting to sell stuff but since he doesn't have reputation yet, he can't ask for much....open up ur eyes, its not because people are stupid,

aniways yeah he's still up to his old tricks, just more people need to contact the authorites down there, like i've posted enough information about it and such...
