Hello, honest traders!
Yes, we have another case of thievery into the aor/mhr circle. Michael Butt, PJ, Delbert, Chris, me (almost)...Who is the next? My story is simple: I sold some itens last month on ebay. The ebayer z3q (aka pxpsi, 8qx...) won one of my auctions: Dr. Sin s/t for US$ 75.00 (item # 2544031098). He also asked me the price for Heartless s/t (reserve price was not met). I asked US$ 250.00 for both including postage (registered). He paid 2 days after through Paypal.
As always, I asked him all details, complete name, address...He didn’t provide me, he sent me the following address:
TSAI
92 GLISSON ROAD
CAMBRIDGE CB1 2HQ
UNITED KINGDOM
I suspected, and contacted some friends/partners. Michael, Tim...The reply was the same: do not deal with this guy, he is a bad ebayer. I wrote to the suspect and asked him to provide me a real name, not an alias. He asked to send to MR. PI CHOI....
Immediately I refunded his money . The transaction ID is: Refund ID #2UM26188AF2084212
In reference to: 8YA51630X3118351E.
He sent me nasty emails with many threats, but I prefered to receive a negative feedback (my first!), and do not risk my precious and honest money. He was mad...tried to charge me US$ 53.00 to cover his costs (?????). Obviously he was trying anyway to get my money: a perfect example of extortion.
I didn’t reply his emails (threats, abuses, horrible words...the same history). He left me a nasty feedback (my first negative), I selected to make my feedback page private until I decide what I would do. I was ashamed.
I asked PJ if I could write something after his feedbacks for me (after the negative he left me 4 positve comments), of course he agreed (thanks again, dude!)...Obviously z3q (MR. PI CHOI) was furious again...I don’t mind.
I was thinking if I would write something here, because I am tired to hear horrible storie about fraud, extortion, bad traders, thiefs....
Today I received an email from ebay: a fraud complaint against me! Believe or not...The reason: VENGEANCE. He said that I am dishonest (true! and my name is Pele), I am deceiving people around the world (oh, yeah, I am rich!), I didn’t have any cd that I listed (I am a magician!)...He didn’t show any proof, only his word (ok...will you believe in a well known scamp???) simply because he doesn’t have anything, except if he fabricates...
I responded the complaint to ebay showing all the proofs and alerting them about this professional swindler. I am waiting the reply.
We are obliged to exclude this kind of person from our circle, we need to fortify our community, togheter!!!!
If anyone has any question, feel free to email me.
Sorry about my english...
All the best
