Be Aware!

[Outc4sted]

The reason this topic is in this section is because the person I am about to warn you about got me in this section.

The user WideWideWide is a scammer. I was foolish enough to believe he could deliver parts to me given I provided a "down payment." I was cheated out of $400.

Just a warning as to never trust this user or anyone offering items via the internet unless there is something or site protecting your money (like eBay).

Hopefully I can get my money back as I've filed the claim and now the police down in FL are looking into it.

never make down payments without a legal contract

 

[Outc4sted]

Already learned that... the hard way. But it was through a Western Union and he said I'd get a receipt and so I thought that was something that bound him to send the money.

was it through bidpay?

lol i just m,ade a deal with him but i made a secret password i will go get my money back right now

Never make deals over the internet unless its through ebay and you pay with paypal. Always leave some kind of trail.

I try and keep my head screwed on and think about things before doing them.

 

[ESv1]

Well. I have the money I didn't lost anything but I feel bad for the kid above.

He tried selling me an Nvidia 7800GTX for only $354.00. Here's the email:

hey tried to PM you before but it failed

I have a brand new/sealed BFG 7800GTX (not the basic GT you listed)

I bought $3200 worth of parts, but my brother ended up going with an
Apple computer/LCD combo...I still have some of the parts from the build
and the 7800GTX is one of them

If interested email me and I can send pics

Well, he did use all teh same parts and stories that you guys got also. I think he was honest in the end but now I can not buy from him.
