Default Beware of a scammer here !

Name is ProphetX

Sent him a Lappy HD Hitachi Travelstar 60GB 7200RPM before I got paid wrong call for me ! (only lost 100.00) BUT to help others these are mainly 2 people involved they use the same name. I think it might be a online SCAM of some sort. BUT BEWARE ! of doing business with these person(s).

what is this crap. You cant blame me for a lost package. Theres no scamming going on. Remove this before you embarrass yourself.

You "shipped" a harddrive in possibly an envelope, with no tracking, no insurance, NOTHING! And via usps's cheapest method. Lets be serious. You should have spent the .35 cents for tracking. That way it at least give you a find to find it in case it gets lost. Your in arizona, im in california. I've never seen a package take that long to get from one place to another. I hope your not just not trying to get money out of me, you have no proof that you shipped. While i was running back and forth from the post office, you game me no help. A reciept number might have helped. Some type of documentation might have helped.

I hope a moderator removes this thread.

check my feedback http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...em=-1&frm=1883

i also have feedback from other forums with sales and such.
please i agreed to buy the hdd from you. It was a good price, it never came and you didnt do things right. Its not my fault. If it helps ill pm you the number for my local post office.

garikfox, why didn't you wait tell you got the payment in full? And shipping somthing that costs $100 via the cheapest method, with no tracking or insurance isn't smart. But prophetX things don't get lost in the mail very often... And how do you even know garifox sent the item?

ooh, I learned my lesson once when shipping a Nintendo DS game via the cheap USPS method with no tracking and the guy claimed to never receive it so I had to refund him via PayPal. Then he sent me an email 2 months later saying it had arrived and paid me again. I was lucky the guy was really honest. Moral of the story, you always need to use tracking on more expensive items otherwise the receiver can either deceive you once they figure out you didn't use tracking or if something happens you have no proof for or against it. In these cases it's impossible to tell who is right and who's wrong.

i Didnt ask this guy to send first. I offered to paypal him the funds, but he said something about not using paypal.

Then suggested he just send me the hdd first i said fine. He didnt even give me a date. He just said when he gets enough money.

I have no proof that he sent, but i dont doubt it. I have been having problems with my local po getting packages lately. As expressed in the atheros groupbuy thread.

I dont understand why this kids is doing this honestly.

I mean what does he want me to do. Pay him the money still? I dont think thats fair.
