Hi.
I was just wondering if you have got your money back yet ?
I'm from neowin and done a "deal" with him also, and he's run off with aload of my cash too.
I was selling a Nokia N95 phone from an unwanted contract upgrade, and I had a little bit of interest and Irteza (Ov3rclock3r) was interested ini it, but couldn't afford the full amount. He said he was desperate for a phone and so he started talking about a PS3 that his brother was going to give him and we spoke about making a deal. I trusted him because he has done alot of deals before and seems pretty trusted. Our deal was that I sent him the Mobile plus £80 and he would send me the 40gb PS3 with 2 controllers. I agreed and we sorted it out. 7th of may, I deposited £80 into his bank account and posted him the mobile phone, and then told me he would book the courier in the next hour, that never happened and he said he booked it late and because it was past the pickp time it would be picked up the next morning, he told me he would send it by DHL 48hr delivery. I waited until monday, then gave an extra day for it to show before I contacted him again. I contacted him telling him it hadn't arrived and all I got was "hasnt it arrived yet"?
Then on the 15th May, early hours of the morning, I get a text (supposidly) from his brother saying he has had a car accident and he is in ICU. I spoke to his brother (i assume) and told me he checked the parents house, Irtezas bedroom and asked the other brother and apprently it had been picked up. I had waited in all day after it was supposidly sent but it never arrive.
I phoned 3 DHL numbers to talk to someone about seeing if they had the parcel in the warehouse, only to be told I needed the tracking number, or they couldnt help. So I was screwed.
Then, 15th of May, I get a text from a (supposidly) mates mobile, Saying that there was a kick off at home and now living in a flat, and doesnt have the internet, Still after I contactd him repeatedly, not much sign of hope for an answer. He says his number is blocked, but can receive calls and texts, but not send texts or call people, this was on the 27th May. He told me he would have a new sim card by wednesday or thursday, that was a week ago now.
He's text me on his (supposidly) mates mobiles, 2 of them, I've tried ringing them, they are both off, I've tried ringing his, and that is also off.
The phone sells for £200+ of ebay, and he had £80 of mine deposited into his account...
So here I am a month later, nearly £300 out of pocket, and I currently don't have a job, not until I finish college in a few weeks, and currently have no money so I'm screwed really.
He didnt seem too fussed that the PS3 hadnt arrived when I got a message last week, he didnt say he'd look into it, just that he would refund me, It seems to me that he gets short of cash, scams people and weather he gives it back or not, I dont know.
I dont understand why he would give his Name, Address, Phone number, Home phone numer and HIS bank details if he was going to scam me...
Im sorry ranting in your thread tigerboyce, I hope you also get your money back.
Jason.
