| Hey guys, let this thread be dedicated to warning other forum-members from RIP-OFF DEALERS on the MotU-market, by providing any kind of info you might have from him or her. I will make a beginning:
At the beginning he was also using the alias of what I was told was his sister:
Get alert when you read this name:
The story behind it:
| Quote: | In October 2007 this looser stole 450,- Euros out of my pocket with the typical "create-trust-'n'-then-rip-off"-trick. I have had 4 or 5 deals with this guy before, each between 100 - 250 Euros of value! Everything went normal, with photos of the items, well packed shipping and the communication was nice too. Really, you couldn't ask for better!
Then one day he offered me to join a bigger purchase as he wanted to buy the whole store-stock (the one i was assuming he got all the stuff from that he sold me). Because it was too big for him moneywise he asked me if I could contribute some money in advance so he can buy the stuff which was left of the stock. I was interested in couple of MOCs, and sent him 450,- Euros as 50% prepayment so he will keep the items on hold for me.
Now I am clever enough not to send money out into the blue, but I figured since I have been doing these bunch of uncomplicated deals with him before he's a trustful guy - and I was proofed wrong.
The communication was great at the beginning, just as usual ... although he made up a lot of excuses for the delay of the stock-purchase, and what I realized later that his replies ceased almost totally after the 45 days of PayPal-protection had exceeded. Fucking sweet! 
So a few inquireing emails later he wrote "why the hell I was keeping on emailing him - he already sent the parcel - end of discussion!" ... LOL, yeah right, i never even received actual pictures of the items, and why would he send figures that are not even fully paid for. He didn't remember the shipping-adress and did of course not have any other proof (post-office bill, tracking number etc.) for the shipping. 
Anyways, so I went the hard road and contacted the swedish police, even was able to dig up the emailadress from the station in his area. Emailed a few times with the officer (Håkan KVIST), explained my situation in severall ass-long emails, he promised to look into it. He never did. I just received a letter from the swedish police that my statements were recorded into some kind of protocol. End of investigation. Fantastic!   |
Internet scam is the fucking worst.
I really hope for this pussy that I will never cross his way...

| Hey, I've edited this old Eternia warning thread into a general thread dealing with black-sheeps on the MotU-market that are better be avoided to make deals with... You can post other loosers' names and a story behind your bad experience with them. Cheers!  _________________ ~~~ He has got a bucket on his heeeaaaad !!! ~~~ |
