It is a dire shame that such lowlife exist, and feel the need to leech a living, and not earn it honestly... sorry *steal* a living!!.

I would say I told you so, but I been scammed before, albeit a cd-rom of my software, but all the same!. Hope he changes his ways, and sees how nasty he is.
grrrrr

[EDIT]

What a complete and utter maid-a-milking!!!

That's not much fun getting ripped off. Sorry this had to happen to you.

I tried to look at that forum webpage you linked us to in another thread about this parasite but it seems the forum in question went to forum heaven.

But... I got the page from webarchive!

It still is slow to load though (prolly due to avatars and images in the sigs missing in the thread).

Anyway, here's the link. (dead link removed)

The link gives away the guy's address and real name so check it out, if ever another new member comes in here to sell stuff, beware... It might be him.

Hey thanks a lot for that. I have contacted multiple authorities, but looks like I have been dealing with the wrong states. I will pass this information on now. Thanks a lot. And yes, please everyone, BEWARE of anyone claiming to be Michael Jay from Syracuse NY.

All internet crimes such as this are under the jurisdiction of the US Postal Service. They have Postal Inspectors that will investigate all claims. If you get scammed, make sure to let the person know (that scammed you), if you can, that you will be contacting the USPS and filing a fraud claim; which means that your scammer might face some jail time once caught.

BAD SELLER - hairlesswookiee

Bad seller. hairlesswookiee, Mark Ballou.

(dead link removed)

He agreed to sell me his used 2x512MB RAM sticks for $60 as he was upgrading his machine to 2G. I sent him a postal money order for $60 in February. On that same day, he PMed me that the RAM he received from Crucial didn't work, and that he'd like to wait on our deal. I said no problem, let's simply cancel it. I told him to just return the money order which he promised to do. He never did it.

I wrote him a couple times to see if he was going to do it. A couple of days ago I gave him a final chance to pay me my money, or I'd post about it here. He never responded, so here's my post.

i'd like to add to techound1's rep here! Sold me a 256MB RAM chip for my G3 iMac. Paid for it, and shipped out the same day. Very friendly, and even double checked to make sure I was getting the right stuff!

Bad experience with joshtpa

bought a macbook from this guy Josh Babbitt from this forum, he's the CEO of (dead link removed), so i thought he can be trust. claimed he bought this macbook just a month ago, no scratches, just like brand new.

when i received it, no receipt from him as he promised to send along, missing apple remote while he said never had one (but it has printing on the box stated w/ remote), scratches all over the case (like scratched by a cat), very dirty like he has muddy hands, he poured some liquid on the keyboard before.

total disappointed, i don't mind paying full retail price for the macbook but since he claimed he has receipt to prove it and i have his phone number, we talked about it, so i thought i can give it a try. this guy's reputation is negative and i do suggest don't buy anything from this kind of person.

For some reason, I just noticed that my post was removed (or maybe it wasn't posted properly, I don't know).

Anyways, I have some good seller feedback for Adam Keiser (aka akmovieman). He sold me his iBook G4 1.42ghz 14" for $615 USD shipped.

Once PayPal cleared my cash from my bank (which takes forever by the way), he had the money instantly and I received it in the mail 3 days later.

The iBook showed up in the original box, with AppleCare, and all of the manuals, cd's, cables (some of this stuff not even opened), which was pakced inside a bigger box. Everything works amazingly and is allowing me to get more work done, faster.

+1 for him, I recommend buying off him.

Thumbs up to Jaster. I traded a 14" iBook 1.3GHz for a new copy of XP Pro.
Thumbs up to EHUnlucky7x9 for the two wireless routers paid via Paypal. One was wrong and sent in error but he let me know beforehand and let me keep it although it was more expensive and a better deal for me.

vrodrider - don't trust that guy. I gave him my cell and he called me. Reassured he'd send a 500MHz g3 laptop out within the next day. A few days later he messaged me and said he'd mail it out the next day. I messaged him back and nothing.
He sounded a little weird cause he was willing to ship it out before I sent payment. Maybe he was worried I wouldnt send payment (although I offered to send paypal, he just wouldn't accept)
So, be careful if he tries to sell anything again.

unlokia is a top seller.

I have had two dealings with him, first time - mailing CASH for an OS 9 disc.

Second time, swapping my Nabaztag for OS X & iLife 06 Discs.

Top Man is Matt.

Why thankyou, kind sir, for your generous and courteous feedback!. I'm just me I guess, and honesty pays dividends. Why be anything *BUT* honest?!.

:) Thanks Gav - much appreciated indeed; it was a great pleasure to deal with yourself, also.

Sexy Patrol

I just recently did a transaction with Sexy Patrol. I purchased a powerbook off him. The thing came exactly as described, it works wonderfully and everything that was pictured came. It works flawlessly. It was a very good deal.

I'd definitely do business again!
